I'm working on pivots.fyi ( https://pivots.fyi/ ). It tracks 1000+ startups that have been founded in the last 3 years and showcases how their product, mission, team size, founders, etc. evolve week over week. It is interesting to see how quickly early stage startups pivot. Looking for feedback/suggestions about how I can make this more useful.

What does status mean in your pages case? I saw e.g. Fileforge go inactive, but their website looks pretty active. How do you determine the status?

I'm building an inhouse ERP/CRM/warehouse mobile app/ecommerce platform/MOps for my small biz which I have with my wife (own brand of cosmetics, home fragrance, skin etc..) with the hope that it will allow us scale with the minimum employees, the maximum productivity and the lowest cost.

150+ postgres tables, a huge backend dashboard, an optimized storefront, Hasura, Go, React/Typescript/Next.js and a myriad of integrations.

Abandoned my professional career for this one to chase the dream and got sciatica while in the process :)

I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…

Thank you, Nic.

Currently building a very simple migration tool for SQLite with the Stack Overflow forward only approach, mostly for my projects based on Bun: https://github.com/i9or/migralite

Planning to make it single binary to remove the dependency on Bun from target projects.

I'm trying to make it easier to run clubs, associations & organizations with a platform called embolt.app[1]. We're offering online memberships, event management, and a member database packed with features. Membership management is a crowded space, but it's also a low-tech space with lots of sleeping giants not willing to iterate on their product. It's been a really fun project so far and even more rewarding to see c…

UI looks great, and it's something I would be interested to try. Why PayPal though?

I am actually working on my first-ever product hunt launch. And since I am handling the content part, September was all about writing copies, emails, landing pages, and new blogs around the product. It was a bit overwhelming but I can totally see how thrilling it is too. In fact, I landed here due to SocialiQ 2.0 launch. We are yet to launch it in October but coming soon page is ready.

Real estate search for homes in Ireland where you can travel by bike, train, and walking. Most Irish (and other) property websites just give you a road map, this starts off with a public transport and biking map, and has color-coded rail commute times, etc.

It was something I built for myself years and years ago and then ignored, but when I put it online so my wife could use it, other people started to as well. I lost my job a few months ago and decided to overhaul it. It's how we got a house on a few acres a 15 minute bike ride from the train an hour from Dublin with gigabit fibre under €100,000 in 2019.

I'm working on https://www.ironcalc.com as a side project. A spreadsheet engine with an open source permissive license. I have high hopes for it but I'm still in early stages of the project.

nice one.. few 'tests': - probably menu with save/export is still under development

- in FF when typing quickly - latest 'char' is not displayed, although 'sometimes' is there (and visible when hit ) ; in Safari behaves correctly; TorBrowser last 'char' not visible/nor there even after

- when speaking about ing data - I am used to moving by 'arrows' keys to right/down..

- when speaking about 'jumps' over the blocks - I didn't figure it out at all eg(Ctrl+arrow)

- why repetitive '€' formatting is not doing also unformatting?

- 123 menu is still 'active' after choosing some format (should disappear)

Well well.. classic DEVs - 'I am doing QA for myself..' or even worse: 'There is Jon' - another DEV who's checking after me.. Find proper QA - it's worth - ALWAYS.
