Looking for a tool to semantically search a massive codebase - I will not promote I have a million-line codebase that no one fully understands, and debugging is a nightmare. I need a tool that indexes the code, creates vector embeddings, and lets me search for relevant code using natural language (e.g., "correlation matrix plot coloring"). Ideally, it should be low/no-code to set up and have a GUI for searching. Does anything like this exist? Looking for paid or open-source options. 5 0 replies
Why is there no global lost and found with a viable business model? "i will not promote" This could be crowdsourced on both the lost and the found side with collaboration over time with police departments, USPS and other ubiquitous public services for dropping off/collecting lost and found items. Rewards could be offered with a fee taken by the L&F service and public service departments, great for the environment and create a lot of feel-good moments. Seems very easy to build, thoughts? 3 6 replies

What accelerators will help me move to SF? I will not promote We're building a tool with a validated MVP in the data operations LLM training space. With the experience of founding team, we're sure we could have raised and kick off well if we were in San Francisco. We would like to join an accelerator program that might help us move to SF in the next two months. What are our best options? Tried YC two times but the traction we get in our country is not enough to demonstrate well to fit into YC's needs, so even with a... 2 3 replies
🚨 Is your startup struggling? 🚨 📉 Sales dropping? 💡 No product-market fit? 🤯 Devs and business teams out of sync? [I will not promote] Sounds like you need a **Product Manager**. But wait… **Do you REALLY need one?** 🤔 "Nah, we’re a startup; PMs are for big companies!" Wrong. I’ve **built & launched 0-1 products**, scaled them to **x,000+ users**, and **grew revenue by 25%** in just months. "But what if I need more than a PM?" Lucky you—I'm not just a PM.

Seed Founders: Have you ever considered venture debt after raising your round? - I will not promote This is not a promotion, I'm just curious and would love seed founder feedback: For those of you who don't know, venture debt is a type of loan offered only to founders who have already closed a round with VC money. These loans are usually given as a percentage of what you raise (figure 20-40% of the raise amount), and it's generally used for the purpose of giving you extra runway (this makes it more likely you'll reach your A round raise, and make your A round valuation higher... 5 8 replies
Has anyone used AI Tools for Solution Design and Architecture (I will not promote) I am currently early stages of starting a tech product business. I am hoping to be able to do as much as possible before involving anyone else from a technical perspective.

What I am looking for is a tool that would provide me high-level architecture and a solution after a bit of prompting... essentially looking for a CTO type of tool. Any... 1 12 replies
Launched on Product Hunt, only got 3 upvotes… am I doomed? - I will not promote So, I just launched my SaaS, Live Face Swap in the cloud, on Product Hunt, and… 3 upvotes. That’s it. Meanwhile, I see other products getting hundreds within hours. I thought a real-time AI face swap tool would be interesting for creators and brands, but maybe I completely misjudged the audience? Or does timing and initial traction matter that much? Would love to hear from others who have been through this. How do you recover from a Product Hunt flop? Is it worth trying again, or should I focus... 1 26 replies

Validate My Idea (I Will Not Promote) I have an idea for concierge service tailored specifically for my apartment building. The Setup: I live in an apartment that was formerly a hotel, meaning all units are inside one building with a single main entrance and a lobby. Access is restricted, residents need key cards to enter and use the elevators. The building is in a downtown area but isn’t conveniently located near grocery stores or other essential services. The Opportunity: Because of the building’s layout and location, I believe I can create a monopoly on most... 2 1 replies
What are your favorite podcasts/videos/books I will not promote I appreciate everyone who dropped some knowledge and helpful information/resources on my last post about having an idea and feeling stuck on where to go.

I will not promote - Would people actually use a tool that helps with networking, or is this just another unnecessary tool? I’m trying to figure out if this is a real need or just a nice to have tool. The problem: - Most people say networking is the #1 way to land a job, but no one really teaches how to do it. - Colleges focus on resumes & applications, but referrals are what actually get people hired. - LinkedIn exists, but most people don’t know how to actually use it for career growth. So I’ve been thinking, would people actually use something that helps make networking easier? Like, something... 4 6 replies

Where to start with e-commerce and Shopify? (I will not promote) Background: 3 time founder/ceo/entrepreneur here. All three businesses are alive and well and at various stages of growth. I have different equity structures/funding etc with those businesses (actively running 2 as CEO, but likely even narrowing my focus to just one as it is doing well and scaling with new revenue streams etc).

Lost on where to start. I will not promote Hi guys, I’m currently working for a plumbing company and have been for 10 plus years. I’ve had a dream of owning my own business. I’m really starting to hate working for someone else. I want to start an equipment rental business, skid steers, excavators, lifts and much more.
