Ask HN: My startup failed. How do I get back?

Hacker News - Sat, 02/21/2026 - 5:00pm

I attempted to build a business over last two and half years. Despite our best efforts we did not find PMF. We have clear signs it’s not working out. My personal funds are running out and healthcare is damn expensive.

Before my startup, I have worked at large companies as a SWE and later as a manager.

Do you have any suggestions on getting back into job market? I am anxious about my startup not making it.

Show HN: Tapedeck – A 4-track cassette recorder in your terminal, built in Rust

Hacker News - Sat, 02/21/2026 - 4:53pm

Hey HN, I built a terminal-based 4-track cassette recorder inspired by the Teenage Engineering OP-1. You can record from your mic, layer synthesizers, program drum beats, and mix everything down all without leaving the terminal.

Architecture is three threads communicating via lock-free crossbeam channels: a 60fps ratatui UI thread, a control thread for app state, and a cpal audio callback at 44.1kHz. Everything is real-time!

I wanted something where I could sketch musical ideas quickly without opening a DAW. The cassette metaphor keeps things constrained in a fun way; 4 tracks, tape moves forward, commit to your takes.

Install: cargo install --git https://github.com/manthan787/tapedeck (Rust 1.70+), or grab a binary from the releases page. https://github.com/manthan787/tapedeck

Would love feedback! Especially on the audio engine and synth design. Happy to answer any questions!

Show HN: 149/year landing page and hosting and domain for small businesses

Hacker News - Sat, 02/21/2026 - 4:52pm

If you run a small business, do you actually need more than a fast, clear website with your services, contact info, and a domain you don’t have to think about?

I built a simple offer around that idea:

For $149/year, you get:

A professional 1-page landing site Domain name included Hosting + SSL included Contact form Basic SEO setup Ongoing maintenance

No setup fee. No separate hosting invoice. No upsell funnel.

This is meant for local businesses that don’t need a full web app—just a site that loads fast, looks trustworthy, and converts visitors into calls or messages.

If you want to test the flow, I can set up a demo landing page for your business name within 24h and share the preview link.

I’m interested in feedback on:

Is the pricing clear and fair? Is the scope too broad or too narrow? What would you expect at this price point? Is yearly pricing better than monthly for this segment?

Happy to answer technical, business, or operational questions.
