Designed entirely with myself as the user in mind, from someone who's spent ten years doing software engineering and product design. I'd love your feedback:

You also get a feedback system, a public roadmap, and other features to help foster that community-driven growth.

And this is a very Silicon Valley-esque, growth-minded, narrow way of thinking about this new world we live in.

I maintain half a dozen products, some of which enjoy only a handful of dedicated users, and I consider them all a resounding success. We are living in a new future of readily available custom software for extremely niche use cases.

> Don't feel bad if you don't have anything to show up with all the free intelligence available nowadays. Almost nobody has.

But I can empathize with the author's attempt at "vibe writing" something meaningful, considering that they seemingly don't have anything better to "show up with".

(June 2026)"]]>Building https://probed.chat!

A chat platform for founders, creators, and small teams to talk directly to their users! No more email or ticket queues. Build a real community around what you make.

I built this because I've seen firsthand how community Discords just don't scale for support or community-driven product growth.

Would love your feedback if you try it out.
