Can a person or small team build a major product in a year?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17292121What major apps can you think of that were developed in under a year by an individual or small team?I think plentyoffish and Minecraft definitely qualify as major one person projects. I’ve been listening to the indie hackers podcast a lot recently and would add instapainting, Ghost, ConvertKit, StoreMapper, DoubleYourFreelancing, Scott’s Cheap Flights and Nomad List to the ranks too.As far as small teams go WhatsApp is probably the best known example. I don’t think pg’s Via web ever had even ten people either and he did okay out of it. Less successfully Patrick McKenzie, Erin and Thomas Ptacek built something impressive in star fighter in under a year. Writing a stock exchange simulator from scratch with no previous domain knowledge is pretty cool.What other examples can you think of?Thanks to soneca for making me think about this.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17284137Jun 12, 2018 10:45 AM

Launch HN: Necto (YC W18) – ISP Starter Kithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17067144Hey, we're Ben and Adam, the founders of Necto (https://nectolab.io). We're enabling local entrepreneurs to start their own Internet Service Providers by providing network engineering, monitoring, and business support as a service. We've seen huge improvements in last mile distribution technology in the last few years (cost, reliability, thoroughput, ease of deployment), but it hasn't translated into an explosion of ISP operators. We want to change that by allowing non-network-engineers to deploy their own networks and compete with the incumbents. Necto handles the networking setup, deals with the backbone providers, helps with distribution planning, and provides ongoing monitoring and support. The operators pick the markets, set the prices, and provide a great overall experience to their customers.We started our own ISP here in the underserved San Francisco markets of Bayview and Portola, with more neighborhoods to come. If you live in SF, we'd love to be your ISP (https://joinnecto.cMay 14, 2018 5:00 PM
