Hi everyone,

I've been working on a small project called Words for the Wind, and I'd really value this community's honest feedback before I share it more widely.

The idea: In 2010, a garden designer in tsuchi, Japan, put a disconnected phone in a phone booth in his garden so he could "call" his cousin who had died. After the 2011 tsunami, people who had lost loved ones began visiting to speak to the people they could no longer reach. The belief is that the wind carries your words to them. It's called a wind phone (kaze no denwa).

I wanted to make a version anyone could use without traveling: you write what you never got to say, press release, and your words blur and fade away. The page forgets. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

Hey! Solo maker here

A few weeks ago I found out my AI agent was quietly ignoring skills I spent hours writing not because they were bad, but because of small structural issues I couldn't see.

So I built trigger-doctor: a free, open-source tool that reads your SKILL.md the way your agent does, then tells you exactly what makes it get ignored.

Free, no signup

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on: formatflash.com.

It s a free, lightweight online tool designed to convert images quickly while respecting user privacy:

100% Client-Side: All processing happens right in your browser. Images are never uploaded to any external server.

There s a feeling many professionals don t talk about.

You re doing your work.
Meeting deadlines.
Joining meetings.
Trying to keep up.

And somewhere in the back of your mind, there s a thought:

Am I keeping up with AI too?

I built NORTHLINE SIGNAL to make open source tools easier to evaluate without turning a directory into a popularity contest. Each entry links to its source and focuses on what the tool does where it fits and what to check before adoption maintenance license setup cost self hosting and operational trade offs. The site also publishes short comparisons and research notes instead of claiming one tool is universally best. The current edition tracks 117 tools across AI data infrastructure security observability collaboration design and web development. I am testing a daily update workflow and would value feedback on which signals are most useful when choosing an open source tool. Browse it here northline-signal-2026.web.app

I'm curious how other makers, designers, developers, and agencies handle website feedback.

When you're working with a client, how do you handle comments like:

"Move this button slightly to the left."

"This section doesn't look right on mobile."

Your runway is shrinking. Customers want a fix. An investor wants proof. Which decision do you make first?

That is the experience we wanted founders to practice before real money and people depend on their answer.

The scale is growing: the U.S. Census Bureau s seasonally adjusted series recorded 5,634,736 business applications in 2025 versus 5,246,630 in 2024 a 7.4% increase. These are EIN applications, not unique founders or confirmed startup launches. Growth is uneven: 2024 was below 2023.

I built Alloy to bring GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok together on the same question, then combine their perspectives into one answer. The individual responses remain visible so you can compare their assumptions and reasoning.

If you re already asking multiple AIs for their take on a business decision, Alloy puts that workflow in one place.
