Show HN: Find My Co-Founder – founder DNA assessment with AI match report

ddesposito — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 19:09:44 +0000

Find My Co-Founder is a 30-question assessment that maps your founder DNA, identifies your blind spots, and tells you which co-founder profiles would work with you — and which would likely clash.

Once you get the report, please let me know if it matches.

Also, please look at the "About" page where I list all the criteria for a successful founder. Do they resonate with you?

If I get some interest I'll build out the app with user accounts and the possibility to get a match report if a buddy and potential co-founder also fills in the test. Good idea?

You can comment here or send me feedback in the app.

I mean, what technology did you use for the voice, what AI? I have a similar app but its text only.

Was this codebase audited by a security company?

An interactive tool designed for self-discovery around managing difficult conversations. You enter a topic, choose a part of the conversation to explore (preparation, emotional handling, and closure) and the app proposes a method from a bank of 15 and applies it for you. You can then continue the journey until you feel ready. The app saves your examples so you end up with a personalized “conversation guidebook.”

Its a new kind of lightweight learning app, built with Claude in an afternoon, based on some research I did for a workshop. No users accounts, no complications.

Hope you like it, and would love any feedback!

Hi Atiscant, thanks for the feedback. I rewrote the questions to avoid the good vs bad formulation, reduced the questions from 6 to 4, and I also simplified the dimensions from 12 to 8, so the result should be a tighter, better test. I need to wait until I get some data to validate, you were one of the first users, it will take some more time before I can do that. "the report kind of feels very AI generated and generic" - point taken, I will tweak the prompt to make a better use of the user's free text input in order to make it more personal - I mean thats the whole point of having an AI to help with the report. In your opinion, how many naturally recurring personality archetypes in the human population? With MBTI and 4 traits, its only 16, imho thats too few.

You are right, Yodon. Validation needs a minimum of 500 or 1000 uses, no? And I don't have that yet. To get there I first need to get to a product that people find relevant, so any feedback is good feedback at this early stage. Based on what I got here, I am going to reduce the trait pairs from 12 to 8, and re-write the questions, and put less questions to make it quicker to complete, and tweak the report format. I'll publish a V2 in a few days. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, Jaen, thanks for the feedback. Whether they are independent or high entropy, its too soon to say, its a new framework I conceived and I am not a psychometrist, I would need to get to 500 or 1000 to see the recurrence of archetype clusters. I see your point however, some of the concepts may overlap, I am going to bring it down to 8 trait pairs / dimensions. Hogan has 7 dimensions seems. In your experience, how many archetypes exist in the human population? with 4 trait pairs, thats only 16, with 12, thats above 3000. Must be somewhere in between.

Hi there, are you familiar with MBTI, DiSC, Big Five? Well I'm experimenting with a new kind of personality test, Archetype 360, and I'd love for you to try it for free and tell me what you think.

- 24 traits across 12 opposing pairs -- that's three times more dimensions than MBTI or DiSC, so you get a much more nuanced profile. - A unique narrative report generated with AI (Claude), written in natural language instead of generic type blurbs. - Your role, goals, and current challenges are blended into the analysis, so the report feels relevant to your real‑life context, not just abstract traits.

It's an "ephemeral app" so your report only lives in your browser, there's no login, and we don't store your data. Make sure you save the report as a PDF before you close the page.

What I'm looking for is honest feedback on your archetype and report:

- Did it feel accurate and "wow" or just meh? - Did you learn anything unexpected about yourself? - What did it miss or not go deep enough on?

I'll use your feedback to refine the prompts and the underlying model. Just comment here or use the feedback form in the app.

If there's enough interest, the next step is to combine Archetype 360 with a variation of Holland Codes / RIASEC (vocational interest areas) to create a full‑power professional orientation report.

What else would you love to see? Ideas welcome!

Best wishes, Daniel

Hi all, we had a discussion this week with a UN client with 500 employees who was paying 20'000 USD per year for a well known employee engagement platform (yes, that one) --- this price is totally crazy!!! and they can't afford it anymore so now they are stuck

So we are offering a new SME package for only 499$ per year for UNLIMITED employees. Run 10 surveys of your choice. And you get a custom survey and we'll help you set it up including the AI prompt!!

Its not really clear what it does. Try answering these questions in plain language: - Who is this for? - What problems do they have? - How does this help with that problem? - How is it unique or better than the competition? Then feed that into Gemini and ask for a landing page.

Show HN: Bitcoin Learning Wallet (yes, you send me Bitcoin)

ddesposito — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:39:27 +0000

I made a Bitcoin Learning Wallet — and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

You send me a little Bitcoin (like $5), and in return, you get a real-time walkthrough of what’s happening to your transaction: mempool, mining, confirmations, fees, decentralization — all explained in plain English as it happens.

It’s half joke, half tutorial — but you’ll actually learn more in 5 minutes than from a 10-hour YouTube binge.

Demo mode available (no BTC required)

Real blockchain stats and network data

No NFTs, no Web3 wallet, no signup

Try it here: https://bitcoinlearningwallet.com/

Let me know what you think or how you'd make it better.

Who am I? Yeah I'm the son of the guy who paid 10.000 BTC for two pizzas in 2010, I'm trying to earn it back!!!

New comment by ddesposito in "Org360 – AI-Generated 360° Feedback Reports (Gemini, GPT-4, Claude)"

ddesposito — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 13:56:57 +0000

We just launched Org360, a platform that generates AI-powered 360° feedback and organizational health reports — designed for mission-driven teams, nonprofits, and leadership coaches.

We offer three AI engines (Gemini, GPT-4, and Claude) so users can choose their preferred LLM. The leadership 360 includes not just feedback summaries, but a personalized development plan (~2500 words) crafted by the AI based on survey results.

Why build this? Most 360 tools are either overpriced, overly corporate, or lack useful AI integration. Org360 makes 360 feedback simple, coach-friendly, and affordable for changemakers and small teams.

Would love your thoughts — especially from other builders working with LLMs or doing org design work.
