currently working on the
hardest part of my startup — the GitHub parser.

it efficiently reads a repo, extracts folders + markdown files, grabs frontmatter, and builds a clean tree structure from it.

recursive, tricky, but powerful.

Is this a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet? If so, yes! The famous line is 'To be, or not to be.' In this case, you're just swapping out 'be' for n8n, the workflow automation tool. So the question is whether or not to use it!

building a way easier alternative to docusaurus and similar tools.
a revision of one of my discontinued projects, born from a pain point I’ve faced too many times.
no boilerplate, no setup — just markdown + github.

The right one is clearer—I immediately understood what the site was about, and it’s visually appealing; way better than the left one.

I like your way of thinking—you’re absolutely right. I’ve been focused on building an AI-driven SaaS project, but I haven’t really considered the untapped potential in other sectors. This has me thinking differently now. There’s definitely gold outside the typical tech bubble.

Wish I could, but I’m still trying to get on my feet and make a name for myself. Hoping things get better for everyone out there.

A Free Text to speech application that allows you to convert text to speech free download

Throwback to when I was learning to code—I built a text-to-speech tool with the Web TTS API. Just React, no frameworks, and AI was still new.

Wonder how it’d turn out now with AI and a framework. Drop your throwback projects below! ⬇️

After 2 months, I'm launching my first startup—a GitHub-integrated doc generator. I hope it's useful for developers writing docs manually for codebases & APIs. Launching Feb 20, 2025. #buildInPublic

Not a designer, but I think this is coming together nicely! 🚀 Working on an AI-powered documentation tool—excited to see it take shape.

I have been trying to start a YouTube channel to vlog my startups but still hesitant about it

I’d heard of Formik but never explored it deeply. While building my own validation, excessive UI re-renders caused error flickering. Switching to React Hook Form for React Native solved the issue and made validation smoother.

Yes, I do, and it's been quite helpful. I use GitHub Copilot alongside ChatGPT and Claude, and so far, I haven't encountered any issues with them.

Spent 5 hours building a complex form validation system in React Native from scratch... only to discover that react-hook-form works perfectly with React Native. 😭 Lesson learned!

I want to offer a good experience to my users, but the complexity of the pricing models used by AI services (like Claude or GPT) makes it tough to predict costs and keep things simple.

I'm building an AI product and struggling with pricing. Per-token fees and fluctuating costs make it hard to offer a simple, transparent pricing model while covering expenses. How have others tackled this challenge when pricing AI-powered products?
