On: Show HN: Launchy – A Next.js template for weekly launch directories

[drdruide]

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.

On: DailyPings – A year of makers sharing progress, now with premium features

[drdruide]

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.

On: I built Findly.tools – a successor to 1000.tools

[drdruide]

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!

fully automated platform

When someone is looking for a tool, curation is probably more useful.

Sure, automation makes your job of maintaining the site easier.

And it benefits people who "aggressively market" tools...and if you were charging people to list their tools, that would also benefit you.

But users? They usually only need one of any particular tool and usually only once every few months/years. Good luck.

On: People like my open-source tech product launch platform

[drdruide]

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!

On: Collection of landing pages template – TailwindCSS

[drdruide]

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.
