Seeking Feedback: A Platform to Discover Indie Hackers Building in Publichttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41755036Hi HN,Over the last two years, I’ve been working hard to build my career in web development. I landed a number of positions at agencies and startups, but I quickly realized that working in those environments has its limits. In my efforts to become economically independent, I started looking at people who were already doing what I aspired to—indie hackers and solopreneurs building their own projects.What I noticed is that success often comes from solving a real problem that people have. In my own search to find a problem I could solve, I realized I had one right in front of me: I needed a place where I could easily find examples of indie hackers who were documenting their successes, failures, and personal journeys as they build products, apps, and businesses. So, I took it upon myself to start collecting these links.After curating over 350 URLs, I now have a comprehensive list of indie hacker websites and blogs where creators share their personal journeys. Some of these sites focus on p

Show HN: Stig – a minimalistic puzzle game on Steam, written in Reacthttps://lageb.itch.io/stigMe and my boyfriend are making a puzzle game together. The goal of the game is to follow a specific pattern by moving around in a grid. Since we are both web developers, we chose to do it in React and Typescript rather than a game engine. We will release it on Steam in November, using Electron to package the app as a desktop executable.Not sure if it has saved us time to do it in React, but we didn't feel like learning a new tool and it has worked really well! I thought making a game would take a lot of time, but we started in December so we will finish this project in less than a year. And we have had lots of fun making it :) Would be fun to hear if someone has done something similar!Try out the demo at https://lageb.itch.io/stig or https://store.steampowered.com/app/2910530/Stig_Demo/.I have posted about Stig before, roughly 7 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39580484). Since then we have changed the levels, updated the menu structure, added a lot of polish etc.

Show HN: Craigslist Car Shopping Chrome Extension with KBB and AI Insightshttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/carbuddy-talk-to-cars-wit/aglpplbhdlccaekjbajdgfbjlbgmeageDuring my exchange in Berkeley, my friends and I decided to share a few cars amongst ourselves. Car shopping was fun at first, until you realize how tedious it is to have to constantly look up the fair valuation with a price advisor like Kelley Blue Books (KBB) for every single car (easily >30% of the time spent shopping).We were also novices when it came to cars and didn’t know what to look out for. As a result, after less than a month of use, one of our car’s engines completely stopped while I was on the way home from school on the highway. Thankfully there were no accidents or injuries, but it was a harrowing experience nonetheless and the administrative headaches that followed were a huge pain.These experiences and pains is what led me to create Car Buddy, an AI-powered chrome extension that gives you the fair value of the car in-page on the car listing itself, but also lets you “talk to the car”. It gives you insights and warnings of common issues faced and acts as a personalized

Show HN: VivaChat – FaceTime with AIhttps://app.vivalabs.ai/chatTLDR: Video chat with realistic AI persons: https://app.vivalabs.ai/chatHey AI enthusiasts,After GPT’s Advanced Voice Mode launch, we’re more excited than ever about authentic conversations with AI. We think the next frontier will be incorporating video feeds.On VivaChat, you can video chat with an AI therapist, digital marketing consultant, English language tutor, or a tech recruiter. We’re also beginning to support business use cases around customer support, HR, and education.Building this was a blast! We strung together multiple systems to coordinate an entire conversation: ASR + VAD models to process user speech, LLMs to generate text responses, TTS providers to generate speech, and a custom video generation model to generate lipsynced video frames.The key technical challenges were achieving respectable visual clarity (HD quality) and reasonable latency (~1s end to end). We trained custom NERF (neural radiance fields) models to generate video frames consistent with the generated au
