The monthly cost of a platform like Launchy is very, very low. Let’s say $5 or $10 for a VPS (hetzner for example), and maybe $1 a month for email through Plunk - that’s it.

I am selling Findly.tools

Here is the details: - Asking price, non-negotiable: 3K euros. - Revenue generated for the current month: $324 (October 1 is the date the $19 submission was implemented) - Unique visitors for the current month of October: 2.1k. - DR 70 - Work time required: none, except for responding to potential emails. - Full admin dashboard and everything is automated

Hi HN,

I built DailyPings almost a year ago as a simple way for makers to share daily progress or some discovery.

Just shipped some major updates: - Premium options (dofollow links, post highlighting) - Complete UI redesign with cleaner UX

The community has grown to 700-900 monthly visitors. It's not huge, but lots of makers sharing genuine updates.

Technical stack: Next.js 15, Drizzle ORM, Better Auth, Stripe, hosted on Coolify.

The goal was always to create something genuinely useful.

Anyone else remember 1000.tools? It was this amazing tool directory that the dev community absolutely loved before it just... disappeared.

I've been working on Findly.tools to fill that gap - a modern, fully automated platform for discovering and sharing developer tools.

Tech stack: Next.js + shadcn for the frontend; Drizzle ORM + Better-Auth for backend; Stripe for payments; Cloudflare; Plausible for analytics.

Coming soon: The boilerplate for sale - deploy the cleanest, most complete & autonomous directory on the market with one click!

1 month at home before starting my internship. I decided to do my 1st open source project, and what better way to be original than with a PH killer.

I announced its release 8 days ago and here it is now with 285 users and 200 project submissions.

On github I'm approaching 50 stars, so if you like the project, don't hesitate to let me know!

Thanks!! Yes it’s live, you can already sign up :)

Thanks! :)

Hey, thanks a lot!

I launched DailyPings 5 months ago.

Between 700-750 unique visitors over the last 3 months, with no communications. DR 15.

I think there are things to do with it. Contact me if interested.

I made a “Show HN” post 4 days ago, but I regret posting it too soon. After 4 days of non-stop work, I've added a lot more templates.

The first post was well received with a collection of only 5 or 6 designs (and not the best imo), so I wanted to try again but with more content.

The project is called Landing Lab and it's a growing collection of landing pages.

Each template comes with a complete lorem ipsum structure that you can easily customize for any type of business.

Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

Advice, feedback or recommendations would be appreciated.

I've added the license. Thanks for your comment

Thanks a lot :)

Hey, appreciate your feedback! thanks :)

Hey! Thanks so much, I hope you find it useful! :)

The system is designed with multiple layers of privacy and security: - IP Hashing: One-way SHA-256 hashing with environmental salt ; Original IPs are never stored, only hashes ; Even with server access, original IPs can't be recovered; Server memory only processes hashes, never stores raw IPs - Per-Category Anonymity: Different poster IDs per category using separate salts ; Double-hashing mechanism: first for global ID, then for category-specific ID ; Cross-category correlation is mathematically impossible ; Each context generates a unique, unrelated identifier - Technical Assistance Compliance: I can provide hashed data and salting mechanisms; I can track specific hashed IPs if required; I can ban users without knowing their real IPs; But I technically cannot reverse the hashes to original IPs

The system balances legal compliance with user privacy - I can assist investigations through hash matching while maintaining technical inability to reverse-identify users. This is not about avoiding compliance, it's about responsible data minimization. The architecture ensures I can't provide what I don't have, while still maintaining effective moderation capabilities.

It's anonymous.

A moderation system has already been set up and used for several bans, and it works well. If there are more and more visits, I'll recruit someone for 24/7!

I'm open to discussion on how to improve the system if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for your feedback and just to respond to you: As I said below, after several returns I've updated the site and removed the automatic deletion feature after 24h but I'm thinking of adding an option when creating a post.

Not at all, I'm planning to make it optional and I'm listening to people. Not just from here. I launched the project 3-4 days ago and I've had quite a few private messages [with arguments] which have led me to think that it's pretty fair.

Haha, that's true! Thanks!

(I've removed the 24-hour message deletion function. Posts will now remain on the platform.)

For sure, thanks for this advice!

As I said below, after several returns I've updated the site and removed the automatic deletion feature after 24h but I'm thinking of adding an option when creating a post. Thanks for your feedback, and I don't think it will be open source for the time being! If the site is doing well and there's a lot of demand for it, why not rethink!

Thanks a lot! I used nextjs, tailwind, prisma all deployed on a vps :)

Thanks for your comment, I'll fix it

UPDATE 2: I may add an option to decide if you want your posts to be deleted within 24 hours. For the moment, no more deletions at all.

I just like this concept of ephemeral post!

Thanks!

We're reinventing HackerNews & ProductHunt with DailyPings!

Instead of just sharing launches, we're focusing on the daily journey.

1/ Every time you share an update about your project, we call it a "ping" - it's your way of saying "I'm here, I'm building, I'm making progress" 2/ We now automatically group all pings by project/domain. No more manual work needed! Share your updates, and we'll organize everything for you. 3/ Each project gets its own activity score based on: • Number of pings • Recent activity 4/ The Projects page gives you 3 ways to discover what others are building: • Most Active: See consistently updated projects • Recently Added: Find new exciting launches • Latest Updates: Track fresh progress
