About

I've run @SOHO, a freelance marketplace in Japan, since 2004, around the same time oDesk (now Upwork) started. Bootstrapped the whole way, never took VC money. Lately I've been replacing the tools I used to pay for with my own, and that turned into about 10 products. On the Mac: SpaceDeck, mission control for every app you live in. Kagemusha, any website as a standalone Mac app. Koffret, only the menu bar icons you use. Caltimate, a native calendar that syncs with Google Calendar. Atriens, a Finder alternative. On the web: Pinateca, project management with eight kinds of board. Halict, from form submission to answered in one screen. RizaFlow, booking for salons, studios and schools. Tsudoo, for classes, clubs and neighbourhoods. I write about all of it at hisashi.space.

Hey PH! I'm Chandan, a student founder building Mindfries. Here's what we're working on.

Hey everyone!

I'm Chandan, a computer science student and one of the people behind Mindfries.

I've always been fascinated by AI, engineering, and building products that solve real problems. Over time, one problem that kept catching my attention was technical hiring.

We spend so much time preparing engineers for coding interviews, but do traditional interviews really tell us how well someone can build software?

Our first Product Hunt launch got 63 upvotes and no badge.

We launched @StartupFlow AI here on August 25. It finds the cloud credits, AI credits and accelerators a startup actually qualifies for.
The result: 63 upvotes, 19 comments, three 5-star reviews, and no badge.

Looking back at our launch page, the gaps are obvious:

No video, just seven images

We listed Marketing as a topic, which isn't who the product is for

Meldport is on Product Hunt tomorrow. What do you look for in a model route catalog?

Hey, I moved the EidosStack AI Gateway into Meldport. It gives developers a public catalog of model routes with IDs, capabilities, context limits, and published rates, so you can check the route details before integrating.

Language routes use an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint. Image, video, and audio run through separate asynchronous workflows when available.
