Hey PH, solo founder who spent 8 months building an AI reading assistant. Finally here.

Hi Product Hunt community ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Hiurich, a non-technical solo founder who learned to code by building. I'm based in Venezuela๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช and I've been lurking on PH for a while, finally decided to stop lurking and actually show up.

What brought me here:

I spent 8 months building IQPage, a Chrome extension that helps people read smarter. The core idea came from my own frustration: I was spending hours reading articles, reports, and papers for work, re-reading the same paragraphs because I'd forget what I just read, keeping 40 tabs open "to read later."

I wanted an AI assistant that actually lived in the browser and could summarize, answer questions about the page, and tell me when an article was framing things in a misleading way.

What I learned building it:

Getting a Chrome extension approved is genuinely hard, I got rejected 3 times before passing. And building alone means you wear every hat: product, backend, frontend, support, marketing. It's slower but you learn everything.

Happy to connect with:

โ€” Other solo founders, especially those who built browser extensions

โ€” People working on AI tools for knowledge workers

โ€” Anyone who has launched on PH and has honest lessons to share

What are you all building? I'd love to hear what's keeping you busy. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Love seeing another solo founder grinding on a browser extension! I'm Rian, also building solo... The Sponge is an AI-powered flashcard app with a browser extension that turns any webpage into study material using spaced repetition. Will definitely check out IQPage.

If you're up for it, I'm launching on PH soon... would appreciate a follow (See "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" Link in my profile)

@rianbrobย Rian! The Sponge sounds genuinely cool, turning any webpage into spaced repetition flashcards is exactly the kind of thing I wish existed when I was studying. The overlap with IQPage is real; I'm helping people read and understand content faster, you're helping them actually retain it. Different problems, same user.

Followed you. Looking forward to your launch, drop the date here when you have it and I'll make sure to show up on the day.

Good luck with the build. Solo extension work is its own kind of suffering ๐Ÿ˜
