Is there room for an AI-powered webmail service built on a single-letter domain?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49345378Hi HN, I’m a solo, non-technical founder working on W, an AI-powered webmail service built on a premium single-letter domain (https://w.xyz).I secured the domain and used AI agents to build out a functional proof-of-concept for the client. To handle infrastructure, I routed the application logic through Mailgun. Internally, the prototype is fully operational — emails successfully send and receive from @w.xyz handles. W combines a highly optimized interface with built-in AI capabilities like Spam Scanning, Smart Reply and Text Summaries.I currently have a 30+ organic waitlist as I finish the final touches and prepare to move away from the prototype stack.My questions for the community:Concept Validation: Given how crowded the email space is, do you see a viable market for an AI-native premium webmail service, or do you believe the switching cost from Gmail/Outlook too high for users?Scaling Roadmap: As a non-technical founder moving away from an AI-generated prototype stack, what are thAug 18, 2026 1:30 PM

Show HN: Stunt – a stunt double for the APIs you integrate (95 adapters)https://github.com/stuntapi/stuntHi, I'm the author. Quick tour before the comments do it for me.StuntAPI, `stunt` for CLI friends, runs local, stateful stand-ins for the public APIs your code talks to. `brew install --cask stuntapi/tap/stunt`, then `stunt demo` — you get a Stripe-style sim on a local port, and the curl it prints actually means it:create a charge, list it back (the charge is there — state persists across requests and restarts), capture it, and watch the signed webhook fire at a local sink. All synthetic, all offline, no Stripe account.Why I built it: I've spent twenty-odd years integrating other people's APIs — commodities trading and market data in London, fintech, payments, blockchain RPC infra — and the test story never got better. Sandbox accounts, live secrets in CI, rate limits, flaky suites because the mock didn't behave like the real thing. WireMock/Prism/MSW are great at static and schema-shaped mocks; what I always wanted was a runnable stand-in — create, list, mutate, webhooks, auth expiry,Aug 18, 2026 1:15 PM

Show HN: NinethirtyAI – A US equity research and analysis platformhttps://ninethirty.ai/drmarket/Hi HN - I'm Yashu and I've been building Ninethirty for a while.The problem: I do my own research, and a variety of tabs open for screening, charts, financials and so on; and then a chat window where I'd paste numbers for an LLM to reason and analyse them.We built NineThirty to solve a bunch of these problems -* A screener that goes deep and is genuinely customizable - fundamental, technical, news, and event criteria in the same query, not three separate tools. Besides, the problem does not end with screening - (almost) instantly backtest to understand historically what stocks have come up on the screen and their performance.* Company financials, sector views, heatmaps, events, seasonality, etc. the usual stuff* An AI assistant (Dr Market) that sits on top of this curated, processed data layer. Use it to validate a setup and it's working from the actual real time technical indicators, not a plausible-sounding reconstruction. This doesn't eliminate hallucinations. The hope is that when Aug 18, 2026 1:10 PM

Show HN: Europe Robotics Map – An open source map of robotics companieshttps://europeroboticsmap.com/Hey HN! I'm exploring a move into robotics and spent some time researching all the robotics companies/startups around Europe. So far I've managed to find 114 companies. I'm still adding more as I discover them.Understandably, there are fewer remote-friendly robotics companies, so placing all the offices on a map felt appropriate. You can also filter by country, industry, and team size for easier navigation.The repo is fully open source. All the companies live in a single JSON file, you can also include additional metadata about a company (capital raised, founding year, career page, etc.)If you know a robotics company with offices around Europe that's not on the map, would really appreciate your contribution!Github: https://github.com/Geek-1001/europe-robotics-mapAug 18, 2026 1:07 PM

Go back further and there were also defeats to Maribor in 2014 and Malmo in 2015, though Brendan Rodgers did buck the trend somewhat by overcoming Hapoel Be'er Sheva in 2016 and Astana in 2017.

Show HN: CoFoundMe – I gamified finding collaborators for your project/startuphttps://cofoundme.appHi guys I know ur time is valuable so I will keep this short. Ever since I was in uni I saw that its been difficult for people finding collaborators for your project/startup. Building something is easier than ever but finding collaborators has never been more difficult. so I interviewed 1083 users (yea i know thats a lot but i needed some validation hehe). Half of them did not hear about yc cofounder matching and other platforms and the ones who were using them still found it quite painful and exhausting and they got no one from there. I found that in most cases for my users the only way to network is to send a post or cold dm (90% of people dont even open their dms) and if u do post abt it , the post reaches everyone (ur friends, ur family, ur boss) which means it reaches no one. So I built a prototype (it was very bad) and the next thing I know there are 1027 users on the app and 394 collaborations made bahahahahahahahahha. The users loved the idea but also had some feedback which I Aug 18, 2026 12:59 PM
