10 years in the trenches: Why we're now building simple, secure, and affordable dev tools

by

Hey Prouct Hunt Community!

I'm Abdal, the marketing half of a two-person crew. My friend and I have spent the last 10 years in the tech industry, wrestling with everything from AI self-hosting and cloud costs to security, privacy, and complex deployments.

We learned a lot, but we also saw a problem. Most solutions are either too technical, too expensive, or not secure enough for the average user or small team.

Take open-source AI agents, for example. They're trending, but hosting them is a technical nightmare that requires constant maintenance. And when it comes to privacy, I've seen too many cases where your data just isn't safe.

So, after a decade of experience, we've decided to stop just complaining and start building. Our mission is to create products that are:

  • Easy to use: Simple clicks, not complex commands.

  • Cost-effective: Fair pricing that doesn't punish success.

  • Enterprise-level: With defence-grade security baked in from day one.

I'm here to learn how to engage honestly—upvoting, asking real technical questions, and sharing the behind-the-scenes of our launches (the wins and the spectacular fails). My goal is to build a community that values practical, trustworthy tools over polished pitch decks. If that resonates with you, let's connect.

A specific question for the community: For those of you who've launched multiple products, what's one piece of advice you wish you had known before your first launch?
