I think that all software can be built in no time nowadays, but when it becomes a product, it brings with it a lot of things that need to be managed. You can use agents, yeah, but there will always be a need for some humans, and for a company with a mission, like OpenAI, there is no time to waste.
And i'll add that to be profitable, they'll need 100,000 SaaS products, since AI companies are just burning money to stay behind in this rush toward AGI or whatever they're chasing

Re:Did I just spent 6 months building a product that no one wants

Probably someone already asked, but I searched for the product on Google and didn't find it. SEO is still a thing, and for me it's the first thing to focus on, even before building the product itself.

Nice work tho, but now the real question: where is the MCP?

I don't know how to judge the choice of an icon without a face. Honestly, grokbot's is beautiful, while the ones for dots are, let's say, a kind of reinterpretation. To me, a personal agent has to have a "face"

Show HN: StockMRRket – trade indie startup "stocks" priced from real MRR data
Hey HN, I built stockMRRket, a side project where you can buy/sell shares of real indie startups with virtual money.The core idea: prices are derived from real startup metrics (mainly MRR), so it behaves like a tiny market for internet startups.It’s built on top of trustMRR APIs, which made this possible. Thanks to Marc Lou for making this data available.
Show HN: I made a tool to create your own OpenAI award and got noticed by them
Basically, the other day there was this wave of posts on X from people who had received OpenAI awards based on token usage after DevDay.So I thought, well, since we all use OpenAI tokens, why shouldn’t we all recognize ourselves with an award?At first, I just wanted to make a simple editable image. But in the end it turned into a project where you can actually edit a 3D model, render it with...
Re:Show HN: IndieDevs 2.0 – Developer community and Portfolio Builder
on Thursday October 02, 2025 @02:03PM (#45453182)
Idk if you do it, but a good way to start collecting future features could be to ask your early users.
The idea of making it a community is interesting, but you have to find a way to offer something developers really need, because it’s difficult to make people passionate about a new “social” in this era.
Idk what it could be, maybe a way to match devs using their skills? So anyone can follow the progress/projects of devs in the same stack?
Then you probably need something that catches attention quickly, like an interactive map with the locations of every dev. That’s something that has been working lately (world maps showing different things on them). I would love to be on there because I know that maybe someone will search for devs in their country and so on. Interactive ways to find something, that’s the idea.
Anyway, you look passionate about it, so the only advice I can give you is to keep focusing on it and try everything you think makes sense in the direction of growing your user base.
Good luck and keep going!
Show HN: I made a tool that lets you travel back in time

Thanks to NanoBanana and a good amount of prompt work, I built an MVP for a tool that lets you make your photos travel back in time.Weekends are perfect for building tools that just bring a smile, it doesn’t always have to be about creating the product of a lifetime.
Re:Ask HN: I'm having trouble finding the target audience for my product
on Friday September 19, 2025 @09:26AM (#45301438)
Yeah, I know that first you find a problem with people who suffer from it and then you build the product, but as I said this was my first attempt and I started right away because I already had an MVP requested by a friend who needed to track IG profiles for work (he’s a journalist).
I already have the book (it’s called “Partire Leggeri” in italian), I’ll move it up on my reading list right away. Thanks!

Thanks, then I think I’ll try to focus only on one niche, and since I already have a customer I’ll immediately try sending them an email to understand how they use it (and if I can improve the service from their perspective at no extra cost).
And then I think it makes sense to contact those who no longer use the service to ask why and get some feedback (they definitely signed up but didn’t find what they were expecting).
Ask HN: I'm having trouble finding the target audience for my product
I started working on it in March, immediately putting a beta online.At the moment there are 200 registered users, 90 active (who receive the daily emails), and since I enabled the paid plans (first week of August) I have 2 customers (one on the basic plan and one on unlimited) for a total of $55 MRR.Over these months the landing page has received about 2k visitors: - most of them come from X...

Thank you!
Show HN: I made Dailygram so you stop social-media doomscrolling
Hi HN, Dailygram (open beta) lets you pick any public Instagram or X profile; once a day or week it fetches new posts, runs them through GPT-4o, and delivers a digest you can scan in under a minute—both as an HTML email and via an auto-updating RSS feed.Early adopters include marketers, journalists, and solo founders who track competitors or industry voices without opening social apps. So far:...
