vitruvian_man··on Show HN: I automated forensic accounting for divorce cases (3 min vs. 4 weeks)
I don't have much feedback on the project or space you're in but wanted to note that find this interesting.

I've read mixed reviews about OCR-3. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't been your experience. Many others note Gemini is good at this type of task. Curious how you came to find that OCR-3 was best suited for your needs?

Maybe a 1x payment option or token-based option for individuals who just want to use this service 1x? You could also workshop it with smaller legal firms to see if they'd actually find it useful.

vitruvian_man··on Painful Lesson: Always 'Show and Tell' Your Product Before You Develop It
False equivalency. OP is an indiehacker with (relatively speaking) $0 marketing budget versus a large company.

OP - keep validating and showing your early, "ugly" products. Marketing and market validation matter the most.

vitruvian_man··on How to become a debt buyer
I love reading salty HN comments.

Debt (credit) is and will be a crucial part of any functioning economy and society. It's been around for millennia [0]

[0]The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest is a wonderful book on subject.

People got greedy and started re-packaging sub-prime loans due to financial engineering enabled by the ratings agencies, which were greatly influenced by the erroneous notion that "housing always goes up" and incentive to collect for each CDO rating they opined upon.

Great docs and great design!
vitruvian_man··on Analyzing Indie Hacker Products with Verified Revenue
I've spent time reading through your site and inspired by your story and thoughts. One thought came to mind was - what's your go-to tech stack? And how do you typically acquire customers (distribution channels) in the early days of a project?
vitruvian_man··on Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
While I'm a strong supporter of abortion rights, I agree with this logic.

If anything, this will force conservatives to solidify and clarify their views on abortion which will allow voters to decide where they land on the spectrum of abortion rights. Whereas before, conservatives just deferred to "abortion bad. look at supreme court decision".

Also, is it not the case that most Americans support some abortion rights? Thus, this could force conservatives to move center on the abortion spectrum in order to appease their constituents.

vitruvian_man··on List of Most Indebted Companies
While the headline numbers are eyebrow raising, we also need to consider the fact that these companies are able to have that much debt because they generate cash flow to service said debt.

It'd be more interesting to look at debt as a multiple of the company's underlying cash flow; like debt-to-EBITDA or something.
