For the opposite, "Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward is a fantastic read

Do mention your app! HN only frowns upon astroturfing. If you disclose that it is your app, then it's fine to link to it.

kirubakaran — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:54:43 +0000

I save them to https://histre.com/ [1] using the browser extension. This can save all tabs in a browser window into a collection, or even multiple windows each into their own collection. This also makes everything searchable.

[1] I created it fwiw

What a weird way for them to say "we don't know"! It's like saying this house has 0 to 100 bathrooms.

I needed to get customers for Hyperclast [1], but I kept procrastinating on the go-to-market tasks. I'd rather be building, you know! So I created https://tractionbeast.com/ as a tool for myself. It gives me bite-sized tasks every day. I just review and do them. This completely removes the inertia for me. My other founder-friends like it too so I turned it into a product.

If you're an early stage b2b founder, I'd love to hear your feedback about TractionBeast.

But if 5.6 is better than Opus, Claude Code Max plan users will switch to OpenAI Codex en masse. Using Fable at API pricing is expensive

kirubakaran — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 02:28:41 +0000

This is why I don't think Fable will be taken away. Not for long anyway.

I needed to get customers for Hyperclast [1], but I keep putting off GTM (go to market) tasks. I'd rather be building, you know. So I created https://tractionbeast.com/ as a tool for myself. It gives me bite-sized GTM tasks every day. I just review and do them. This completely removes the inertia for me! My other founder-friends like it too so I turned it into a product.

Pardon my nit but it was stylized `Apple //c` fwiw, not `][c`. That was just `Apple ][` and `Apple ][+`.
