Ask HN: We have company runway but not founder time. When do you go full-time?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49367763Three first-time founders in Canada, all of us between 45 and 55: business/product, marketing, and me on the technical side. We're building an AI tool for creative work. About thirty testers have been on a pre-production build for a couple of months. Feedback is good, and importantly is not from friends, but actual target users who we sourced through our networks, which I'm treating as encouraging signal on product-market fit.We're bootstrapped with CAD $25k initial commit and an additional up to $100k available, though we'd rather earn the right to spend each additional dollar than commit it up front. All three of us still have day jobs, cleared with our employers. At current near-zero usage we could run the service for ~18 months without revenue — that number obviously falls as real users arrive, which is part of the problem.So our constraint isn't the usual one. The company has runway; founder time doesn't. I built the platform, I'm the one who has to go full-time first, and I'm als

Show HN: Dispositio – a TUI project planner that stores plans as plain Markdownhttps://systemist.net/tools/dispositioHi all! Wanted to show you guys Dispositio, a project planning TUI that saves projects to simple markdown.I always have a ton of solo projects cooking, and in the past organized and planned them in increasingly complex `ROADMAP.md` files. After working with bubbletea on another project, and after constantly manually calculating its delivery dates for myself (as my bandwidth was quite limited at the time), I realized it would be cool to combine the two!The result is Dispositio, a tool which:- Tracks milestones, set estimated durations, rearrange and modify easily, and see the estimated timeline of the whole thing (measured in weeks for now; can add sprints or other metrics later if people want it) - Lets you set up tasks and subtasks right in it (added because I found it very handy to just keep my todos right here, one per project) - Handles overdue items etc - Helps you know how many days you get on average per milestone task in order to stay on task - Saves to plain markdown so you ca

Ask HN: If you write release notes, what stops you from being specific?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49367131Slack's release notes (https://slack.com/release-notes) are mostly "Bug fixes and performance improvements." or something trying too hard to be funny.If you write release notes for software with a lot of users: what makes you go generic? I assume there's a reason past laziness and I'd rather hear it from someone who's made the call.

Ask HN: Any Curated Forum Directories?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49366691Does anyone know any curated forum directories? Forums like in the early 2000s. Places that aren't owned and governed by some corporate overlord. Places with genuine interaction rather than senseless ragebait and "content" designed to generate likes and shares. Places that aren't merely echo-chambers.
