Seeking co-founders: music tech startuphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42675858Dear community!Long story short: I seek for prospective startup co-founders. My idea (and already working prototypes): use sensor-based wearabled to let people play music without any knowledge of skill.You can view the product here: www.musdev.euI have spent >10 years creating various music-playing/music-generating games, including usage of smartphone/smartwatch sensors, i.e., I have big experience and even bigger dedication to the topic. Some of them are present at early videos on my Youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgcOxK6XFEyg6Bu6jBbU-Ag/On this channel shorts demonstrate usage of the product (2+ self-made wearable devices) allowing for playing of the music tracks. Long videos mostly explain how it is done. The corresponding Android App:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Nature.CotE&hl=en-US&pli=1implements some experimental algorithm for music creation from scratch, and is usable without additional devices.Closer to the point: despite many people I ta

Show HN: I combined customer support and customer success tools for PLG SaaShttps://clickconnector.com/I’m an indie hacker who previously built a customer communication platform specifically for travel agencies.Initially, I couldn’t rely on existing live chat software to support my product because it already included a built-in live chat feature (even though it was meant for travel agencies at first).Over time, I started building tools to solve my own problems. Every weekend, I’d hack together a new feature—not just to make my product better, but also to scratch that coding itch (yeah, I know, classic indie hacker move). What started as small experiments snowballed into building KnowledgeBase Portals, Feature Request Boards, Bug Report Boards, Changelogs, Email Drip Campaigns, Product Tours, Checklists, NPS tools, and more.The funny part? Travel agencies didn’t really care about all these extra tools—they didn’t need them. I was the only user who actually used everything I built.For the past few weeks, I’ve been reworking the positioning of my product—shifting from targeting travel agen

Offering pro bono software help (Kiwi developer living in Latam)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42318258Hey HN,I'm a software developer from New Zealand, recently relocated to São Paulo (Brazil), where I'll be based indefinitely -- at least until January.I've spent most of the last year working full-time as a founding developer at a high-growth startup, so I'm taking a break before my next full-time gig.As a result, I have a lot of free time, and I want to use it to broaden my skills and help people I usually wouldn’t.So, I’m keen to get involved in anything with an cool, experimental or socially-beneficial angle.Non-profit/open-source is preferred, but I’m also happy to help with people’s sidegigs or early-stage startups.I’m looking for diversity — I want to do a bunch of small hackathon-style projects, quick fixes, etc.Does anyone have (or know someone who has) a project that I could help with?I'm good at most technical things:- Websites incl. basic SEO/SMO- Shell scripts and automation- DNS & domain management- Proofs of concept and MVPs- Technical writing incl. tutorials & translatio

Ask HN: Good Sites for/with AI Enthusiasts?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41579134As an enthusiast sometimes I feel that I get stuck in a corner and could use some overview. A newsforum about AI engineering could help. E.g. most articles about practical things (think civitai guides), some articles dive deeper into how this tech works (think 3b1b). Do you know a good one?I only google things and am not e-social, so may miss something obvious like “civitai’s good though, why” or “there’s tech jesus but for AI on YT”.Interested: AI tech, SD inference and training, local LLM models and prompting/settings, VLMs, TTSs, other models, scripts, experiments, popsci.Disinterested: CEO said, politics, winter, alignment, eats us all, not a human, etc.I can provide my lora training and automation experience, for the most part (around 100 sd 1.5 loras, few versions each).
