Hey HN!

I built VibePM to help me turn outlines/specs in my markdown files into small tasks for Cursor to execute.

Some task managers are very heavy duty, so I made this as a lightweight alternative.

Some cool features: - Directly integrates into your editor via MCP - Reusable prompts - Lets you track task implementation

Any feedback is welcome. It's free to try! You just have to make an account.

Thanks! -Will

Hey HN,

A couple weeks ago I shared a GTM repository that *took off* here. After a bunch of user data and feedback, I wanted to offer a simple way for founders to pitch their products to each other.

It is really hard for early-stage founders to connect with buyers and partners in the B2B world.

So, I was hoping this could be a step in that direction toward making pitching, surfacing great products, & learning from each other that much easier.

Curious what y'all think. I just threw this together over a couple days, so lmk bugs too!

None - but I imagine we'll see some of these in the future, which we ought to handle (e.g. discerning marketing functions v. practical utility)

Thanks, added all this. Send me your thoughts (will at fellowry dot com)

So happy to read this comment. I really wanted that to come through!

Exciting idea and seems like a well-proven team. Good luck to you guys here and don't mind the endemic snark in the other threads. A couple basic questions --

1. How will you handle one-off events like volcanic eruptions for instance? 2. Where do you start with this too? Do you pitch a meteorology team? Is it like a "compare and see for yourself"?

Volcanoes are a tricky one. There are a few volcanic eruptions in historical data, but it's unclear if this is enough to predict reasonably well how such future eruptions (especially at unseen locations) will affect the weather. Would be fun to look at some events and see what the model is doing. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re where do we start. A lot of organisations across different sectors need better weather predictions or simulations that depend on weather. Measuring the skill of such models is a relatively standard procedure and people can check the numbers.

There's an active de-dollarization effort from BRICS. Unsure how effective it'll be with the LIO

How active and serious that effort is?

Brazil, India, and South Africa seem odd bedfellows with increasingly authoritarian China and Russia.

I have no doubts they'll all increase trade together, including military hardware, but establishing a reserve currency requires trust and dependency.

Those seem heavy loads for the ties of pragmatism and convenience that bind BRICS together.

An idea's existence doesn't mean you can't build it. It's a good sign that it's been validated. Since you're not shooting for the moon, even more so.

I would pick something you're interested in, which you can do for a long time. That'll sustain you when you can't get customers or your product misses the mark.

Another underappreciated effect of dogfooding may be its reduction in bloated functionality.

If you're not dogfooding, you rely harder on a mental user model. Just conjecturing -- not only does that model diverge across your organization, but it could result in more top-down decisions about what a user wants, which probably creates more politics and friction all around your teams.
