I have done a good job, I think, because it includes features such as, REST API with JSON responses Barcode lookup (EAN/UPC/GTIN) Simple API key authentication But I am focusing on im...

Solo building a small SaaS, currently just Google + email/password on the register page. For anyone who's added Apple or Facebook sign-in on top of Google - did it meaningfully increase completed signups, or mostly just serve users who'd have signed up anyway? Trying to decide if it's worth the dev time. Real numbers or war stories appreciated.

This is something we spent quite a bit of time debating while building our AI interview product. A lot of recruiting software seems to follow the same process. You go to the pricing page, see “Contact Sales,” book a call, explain your company size and hiring volume, sit through a demo, and eventually get a number. Then you find out there are seat fees, credits, minimum commitments, or some combination of all three. We ended up going the other way and just publishing our pricing. Obviousl...

For 5 months my cofounder was running strategies from TradingView into MetaTrader 5 through one of the existing bridges, and it kept dropping orders. Not crashing, just quietly not executing. An entry that does not fire is an annoyance. An exit that does not fire is expensive. He asked me what I would do about it, since software is my side of things. I sketched an approach. Then he went and built the thing, which took months and a lot of care to get right, because the failure mode we were fixing...

I'm building a lightweight project management tool, so lately I've been spending a lot of time reading reviews for Jira, Asana, Monday, and ClickUp. So the hard part isn't finding complaints, which there are thousands of them. The hard part is figuring out which ones actually matter, and turn them into product decisions, and then writing a PRD that the team can build from. Of course I already knew this was something AI could help with. So I used that AI Slides on genspark and had it first col...

For the last few months my co founder and I have been full time on our startup, and we pivoted three times while running two fundraising processes at once . Sharing this because the hardest call we made goes against most advice I read here. We started with a brand design SaaS called Argibee. Built it inside Lovable, ran ChatGPT for everything, did 130+ user interviews, and got 0 paying customers . Dead. But the launch videos we made to promote it kept pulling more attention than the produc...

took me about 15 months to get here and honestly 12 of those months produced nothing. looking back maybe four decisions mattered and everything else was me being busy. so here's what i'd actually do if someone wiped it all and made me start again on monday. days 1 to 4: don't brainstorm, go find money i wasted three weeks at the start writing ideas in a notes app. every one of them came out of my own head and none of them had anyone behind them. two got built. both made zero. what i'd do i...

The hard part of running a SaaS is not building it contrary to popular belief. Based on my experience selling over $1M in software online, the most important thing is distribution. There are 100s of books about finding the best startup ideas but rarely one on getting traction with the right distribution. Use LinkedIn to find your ideal customers and start to do outreach to get in touch with people. Not only does this scale because you can use multiple LinkedIn accounts, you also don't have t...

We’re still in the dog days of summer—keep your cool with deals on the best fans we’ve tested for on the go and at home.

The use of AI systems to create viruses opens up new possibilities for combating bacterial resistance. It also raises concerns about the pace at which technology is outstripping regulation.

The mayor of New York City has assembled a crew of Silicon Valley and United States Digital Service veterans to overhaul city services with better software.

He calls it BC/AC. Before Claude, after Claude. I've watched enough of these clips land in the last few weeks that I started keeping a mental tally of which AI release date people cite like it's a diploma. Matt Van Horn's is Thanksgiving last year — Opus 4.5, then Codex a few weeks later. Before that, he says, his agentic coding was "Hello World" in Cursor, half-working, most of the time not working at all. After it, he shipped Agent Cookie and says flatly he has no idea ...

I’ve been experimenting with a domain‑specific AI assistant for plant care and plant problem diagnosis. It’s called Plantcoach — an intent‑driven pipeline where the LLM only rewrites facts, never invents them. Technical repo: https://github.com/Introgreen/plantcoach How it works (short version) Intent recognition (care, problems, pests, toxicity, propagation, attribute‑matching queries) Natural language → structured JSON Domain search (knowledge base + structured attributes...

I'm trying to translate an accounting book I downloaded and make it a download able file with AI I've tried chatgpt, Claude. Even deepseek I've been at it for like an hour with deepseek because neither Claude or GPT can make a file from it. The first time with deepseek it gave me a download link that doesn't work And the next tries, it just generates the translation without giving me a file to download. Each time I tell it "give me a file I can download" it just regenerates the ...

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask you about where I could work with large volumes of text. The thing is, I work with records of various achievements and deeds of people. These are inventories of specific accomplishments: where, when, and what happened, what the person did. I get sent a lot of these records, and I enter them into a master spreadsheet for further submission. And very often, the records I receive are very rough and poorly written, so I spend a lot of time polishing them, correcting mist...

In the video the player on the left is a Neuromorphic Algorithm that knows nothing about ping-pong or trajectories, but it knows how to learn and imagine. As you can see it does it well, better than its opponent which, on the other hand, is implemented with standard algorithms; moreover, unlike the latter, if you play tricks on it, e.g., invert the commands (UP<->DOWN), after a brief moment of bewilderment it realigns. Cute, right? P.S. The code was implemented in POWER-KI entirely by PW...

The job title survives longer than almost anyone attached to it. That's the part nobody puts in the internal memo when they call a role "AI-assisted." Scott Galloway put a real number on it, talking to Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO. He says he'll cut legal fees by a third this year — not because the law changed, but because a prompt now does the $400–$2,000 contract review a name-brand firm used to bill him for, at a fraction of the junior associate markup. Bart...

Okay this genuinely scared me and I don't think enough people are talking about it. I’ve been using an ai agent connected to my email and calendar to handle some of the busywork. A few days ago I got an email that looked like normal spam, some random newsletter looking thing. Buried in the html of that email was a hidden instruction telling any ai reading it to find financial documents and forward them to an outside address. My agent almost did it. I caught it mid action because I happened t...

Starting with the original in Camp Miasma in 1980, the horror franchise went on to have a long life. There were multiple sequels, spinoffs in the form of arcade cabinets and board games, and just about every kind of merchandise you can think of, from alarm clocks and lunch boxes to Halloween costumes and action […]

When I haul my 27-inch desktop monitor into the garage to film fun gadget videos… or want to play Japanese SNES games with friends… or lose the AC adapter for my old external hard disk… I can now power them with a USB battery instead. None of them came with USB-C ports; the entire USB […]

What makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra so Ultra? Samsung's first foldable with the Ultra name isn't a souped-up version of the regular Fold 8, as you might expect. Where the Z Fold 8 is squat and wide, the Fold 8 Ultra retains the thin outer screen and square inner panel of the […]

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 is built around one question: How do you build an enduring company in the AI era? Our programming and speaker lineup reflect that.

SpaceX and Tesla are building a massive semiconductor fab in Texas that will depend on natural gas power plants, not Tesla solar panels.
