Collecting feedback via waitlists is broken - here's my fix

Tue, 03/25/2025 - 9:19am

I built WaitlistGui.de after struggling to collect meaningful, actionable feedback from early adopters during my past launches. Traditional waitlists only collect emails but don’t offer enough insight to truly validate an idea so I decided to fix that.

How WaitlistGuide Works:

→ Add your product details & waitlist link

→ Pick a launch date from our calendar

→ Get upvotes, feedback, and waitlist signups from actual potential users

→ Launch with a community that’s invested in your success

Hope you find a value!

Ask HN: Building a Non-AI tool feels surprisingly refreshing for me

Tue, 03/25/2025 - 8:16am

Lately, I’ve been working on a small side project: a web tool for creating radial and circular layouts using CSS only. What I’ve enjoyed the most is that it’s completely non-AI—just code, logic, and design decisions made by hand.

I have nothing against AI, but I found that building something without it has been almost therapeutic. Of course I know it is just a side project. I mean I'm not depend on its success for living.

It also made me wonder: in a world where AI is taking over so many creative and technical tasks, is there still a place for the joy of purely handcrafted software? Have others here felt something similar when working on non-AI projects?

Show HN: The cloud is rigged. we're building a better one

Tue, 03/25/2025 - 8:15am

the cloud is a walled garden built for profit [ not efficiency ]. you’re paying for idle, autoscaling is too slow, and serverless is a scam. locked in, overcharged, and out of options.

lttle.cloud is different. decentralized, open-source, and built for real performance [ sub-10ms cold start ], true pay-for-what-you-use pricing, and zero vendor lock-in. deploy anything as "serverless" from any docker image, no rewrites, no bullshit.

powered by the blockchain and built in public, it’s transparent, efficient, and free from vendor lock-in. run your own private cloud or join the decentralized network.

more info here: https://hello.lttle.cloud

the cloud game is rigged. but we can try to fix it.
