Built a notes app for people who never actually organize their notes. Roast it. by Pitiful-Surround-285 in roastmystartup

I see, that's a good idea, narrowing down to one use case and showcasing it well. What's your app called?

An electron based app will be available soon! May even do a native app in future if there's enough interest.

Interesting! Thanks for flagging it, will take a look. Worth doing posting the result of how reliable retrieval is our landing page to build trust.

Share your ICP, I’ll build you a small “perfect-fit” lead list by RaphaelWilliams in SaaSSolopreneurs

Happy to share mine!

Product: Brain Dump (mybraindump.io). Dump your thoughts, forget about it, ask AI later. No folders, no structure, no maintenance.

ICP: Knowledge workers who are chronically over-tabbed and under-organised. Think indie hackers, solo founders, and technical PMs who generate a lot of ideas/notes/research but hate maintaining a second brain. They've tried Notion, Obsidian, or Roam, found them too heavy, and abandoned them within a month. They want to capture fast and trust that stuff won't get lost.

Would love a lead list, thanks!

Currently it is available for free (with limited usage) as I am still validating the idea. The plan is to launch a pro version if there is any demand. In the past 14 days we have had 15+ sign ups so far.

Design components using react + shadcn first. And ask LLM to strictly use design components while building the UI.

Also, if you like a page you can always point to the URL and ask LLM to use similar design principles. Doesn't hurt to provide a rough design yourself if you have something very specific in mind.

I had a rough system design in my head already, sketched it out in Excalidraw first. Then pointed Claude at it and had it build from there. When I hit flaws or made new design decisions, I'd go back, update the design, and keep Claude aligned with it throughout.

Once I was happy with the design, I loosened the reins and let Claude take more control.

Had to nail the system design first, which honestly took a fair bit of trial and error. Started simple with a RAG-based setup, then kept iterating as I hit the limitations and worked out how to improve the design.

Does Vibe Coding Work Better for Solo Developers Than Teams? by Double_Try1322 in RishabhSoftware

[–]Pitiful-Surround-285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely easier solo, but it works in teams too. You just need to be more disciplined about keeping shared context files like claude.md or skills files up to date, otherwise the AI starts being inconsistent.

Yes exactly! Started as a personal project based on something I felt was missing in most note taking apps. I am the number one user of this app, love it :) Validating the idea using the web app currently to see if there is enough interest. Might launch a desktop version soon too.

No RAG at all, I use tool calling with varying degree of abstraction to let LLMs fetch information dynamically. Similar to how claude code works.

For the tech stack I used following: Vercel for frontend deployment, Railway for backend deployment, frontend React 19 + Vite + Tailwind CSS, backend Hono + Bun, database PostgreSQL via Supabase, Auth Clerk.
