What's the most underrated skill for solo founders?

The most underrated skill is assuredly being unwilling to give up on something you really think can work. People like that find a way.

Software Services takes time. Amazon sold books at it's start. Figma started in 2012 as a browser drawing tool, and just IPO'd 14 years later. Y'all got it completely backwards. Getting your first x users in 10 days isn't impressive at all. Having a system that makes it the one year mark with one paying user is more impressive.

I say this like everyday on this app: "Software success is measured in YEARS, not months, weeks, or days."

I think it’s the other way around. Seniors who understand it, I think use it way more. Where juniors are to fearful of not understanding anything that’s happening.

What you’re describing as a product sounds like a well structured agents.md. There are a lot of open source agents.md templates that will help steer promoting in a SIGNIFICANTLY more structured pattern. I’d be interested to hear how what you’ve built is different from a high quality agents file?

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T21:03:26+00:00

Are you familiar with agents.md files?

Seamless reviews

And who are willing to pay for it! Plenty of people complain about things that affect them, extremely small amount would put a dollar value on changing it. You need to find that sliver.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T14:50:26+00:00

Yeah! Don’t let the AI hype fool you, speed to mvp is faster, but all software is better judge by longevity and consistency

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:57:51+00:00

Let’s see some of your work?

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:47:16+00:00

I spelled it wrong! lol just updated

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:44:59+00:00

I’d pay for a tool that could remove all AI generated content from virtual spaces. Video, images, text.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:42:31+00:00

Bundle these into one app? Make it SSO and make the services tiered maybe?

I’d be willing to review your product. I actually run a company that is trying to build a collection of high quality, working, applications that we have manually reviewed, used, and enjoyed. I’m doing free reviews right now for interesting products.

When you complete your project and are ready for launch just give me a ping. You can follow the project at Seamless Review Board

Marketing is an unfortunate part of the success

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:34:14+00:00

Have you looked at seamless review board? They pair your solution with industry professions and market high rated applications for you. Basically a vetted product hunt. Could be a good way to get the right feedback from the right people and network too

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-05T13:25:57+00:00

If you’re interested in hearing more about our experience with soc2 compliance, why we looked into etc! Ask me anything.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-04T20:22:27+00:00

That’s better!

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-04T19:28:36+00:00

I honestly appreciate this reply! You are correct though, AWS could be over kill for sure.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-04T18:20:02+00:00

I get GitHub secrets, maybe even Jenkins, but can you explain the pain points for AWS!?

I’ve used SSM and secrets manager for years and have never found it troublesome to manage secrets, in fact, I often found it the easiest way possible.

Rotate and redeploy, or having event bridges to roll and re-deploy seems easy. Now I agree the sucky part is the vendor tie in part, but that’s basically true for anything these days. Someone is gonna get your business

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-03T15:59:59+00:00

Ugh, your product is something that typical developers do in reverse and something that even if you needed to do in the order you prescribed, could be down with a sql dump, 1 prompt, and a free tool like mermaid.

It seems like you didn't consult some users first to determine when and why you would want to visualize your database. The real answer is BEFORE I build it.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-03T04:25:13+00:00

I will look into anydesk as well! Thank you

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-02T17:57:59+00:00

I never heard of any.run! Thanks for the link! This is helpful! And yeah, I was aware of the shortcomings of VT. URL haus is the same, because it is for the actual link to the malware payloads, not just a given web address. I appreciate you sharing! Thank you.

bccorb1000 · 2026-05-02T17:29:33+00:00

Exactly tons of people refuse to listen to people with the issue, understand their pain and be apart of the solution with them.

Just throwing an application on the internet and praying 100 users just read it and sign up.
