On: I rebuilt a full event platform in 5 weeks using Claude Code

[husseiny]

Happy to answer anything about the process, stack, or migration.

TLDR on tips:

- Have good documentation and details on what you want built

- Focus each session on one task/area

- Ask Claude to write a plan and tests before building features

- Work with Claude like you would a junior engineer

- If it fails to fix a bug twice in the same session, stop and start a new session

- CLAUDE.md is your BFF

On: Ask HN: Can anyone suggest me a SaaS product idea?

[husseiny]

hmm... I think these days the problem is not being able to build on an idea or coming up with ideas. LLMs are great at both.

What are you facing? What are you dealing with? What are your problems? What communities do you have around you? What communities are you involved in?

Have you thought about those sorts of questions to help you decide what to dedicate your time to?

I am so confused. I worked on several projects but never scaled them because of lack of decisive action. I am able to build stuff but very unlikely to stick to it and manage it. I just love to build and deploy but managing and scaling is not my favourite job.

That's why I decided to ask HN about it. I would try every product and pick one to scale this time.

On: Why most AI projects feel useless

[husseiny]

Honestly, it's because the barrier to entry is getting lower and lower. This is the same as what happened to newsletters back in the day and blogs before that. Used to be hard to get in so quality was higher but then it got so easy, that anyone could do it and the market got flooded with crap. Everyone is jumping on building with AI and launching new tools they built over the weekend, most likely they will get abandoned within a couple of months if not weeks.

On: Harvest Treasuries AMP: What you wish your savings account could be

[husseiny]

The yield is great on these: 5.16%. Not including tax savings if you compare to a traditional high yield savings account.

note: I work at Arta.

On: Would you invest in this company?

[husseiny]

Yeah, very fair point in that the company needs to exist and be real. I wish I had ChatGPT when I was raising for my startup a few years ago. But, the example was a complete hypothetical and it did a pretty good job, won't you say?

On: Should your company block ChatGPT?

[husseiny]

Hey folks, I used to be a CTO for two separate fintechs and even was the founder of another that I recently sold.

People keep asking me if their companies should block ChatGPT, so I decided to write an article about it.

Check it out and let me know what you think – I'm curious about your experiences and opinions on this topic!

On: Ask HN: What do you use to make slides/presentations (preferably in md/txt)?

[husseiny]

Keynote, it works great

On: Ask HN: Financial websites/communities other than Zerohedge or Wall Street Bets?

[husseiny]

I have yet to find a really great community of investors. I've joined a few Facebook Groups that are decent but nothing great yet.

ZeroHedge is impossible to read through, there are ads everywhere.

On: Show HN: Pingr – Spent ~800 hours for a product with 170 competitors

[husseiny]

Congrats again, saw you on PH first. I plan on using your service once we launch in a few weeks because Pingdom doesn't need more users. Would rather help someone starting out (as long as you are monitoring your own site ha!)

thank you ! :)

On: Show HN: A tool for editing, optimizing and converting SVG files to JSX or PNG

[husseiny]

This is really cool, I love little tools like this that can help you with a quick task when needed. One thing that would make this even better is being able to click on an element in the SVG and choose a color from there.
