Most founders don’t have a traffic problem. They have a “finding buyers” problem. Your customers are already talking on: • Reddit • X • Hacker News • GitHub • and more You’re just not seeing it. I’m building Needle to fix that. ✅ Search multiple communities at once ✅ Ranked by buying intent ✅ No noise - just real conversations ✅ Get alerts on discord, slack, chat or teams useneedle.net

🧵I’ve been an @airtelindia customer for over 10 years with just one SIM. I still faintly remember the day I got my number — the dukaan wala bhaiya let me pick one because it had a nice sequence and lots of repeating 7s. Sadly, I had to port it away. 😔(1/9)

Tired of stupid AI bots blocking creators and consumers from getting real human support? These automated systems are exploiting us, refusing to let our issues get properly reviewed, and making everyone’s lives miserable. We’re building a group chat to support each other and push for proper regulation so humans can actually get human help again. If you want to join: Reply in the comments (say “I’m in” or anything) Follow me (X only lets me add followers to the group chat) Let’s build real momentum together and get our issues resolved asap.

Most people are sleeping on this. You can unlock ~$50,000 worth of OpenAI tokens for FREE. Takes 3 seconds: 1. Go to Settings → Data Controls 2. Turn ON “Share inputs & outputs” 3. Done. What you get daily: • ~250K tokens (flagship models) • ~2.5M tokens (mini/nano) • Even more on higher tiers That’s serious free compute. The tradeoff: OpenAI can use your data for training. So don’t use it for anything sensitive. But for: • side projects • testing ideas • building fast This is a cheat code. Turn it on: platform.openai.com/settings… Save this. You’ll need it later. #buildinpublic #founders #indiehackers #openai #free #tokens #ai #tech @OpenAI #testing

Your next customer probably isn’t on Reddit. They’re in a random forum thread asking: • “Best alternative to X?” • “Anyone else facing webhook issues?” • “What should we switch to?” High intent. Easy to miss. Forums is now live in Needle. One search across Reddit, HN, GitHub, forums more. 👉 useneedle.net #buildinpublic #customerdiscovery #buildinpublic #saas #startup #founders #indiehackers #forums #b2b

A man who doesn't give a fuck anymore was once a man who cared too much.

Day 3 of Founder Mental Health Week 👇 Today's piece written with our partners @use_needle x @iamvs2002 — is about the one thing that actually makes building sustainable. Not a tool. Not a system. A person who gets the full picture. Full playbook here: lyncbuild.com/blog/finding-y…

Day 3 of Founder Mental Health Week: finding your people. Building alone turns research into a hiding place. Tabs are safer than messages. Today we published the playbook - why the founder mental load matters, how to use @use_needle @Lyncbuild together 🔗 useneedle.net/blog/finding-y… One search. Tag one person in your corner. That is enough for today. @godson_lync #buildinpublic #saas #startup #mentalhealth #founders #blog

get busy doing what you love, lose yourself in it and time stops feeling like something you're living. deep focus slows time

Signs you are in a research loop instead of building. I have done all of these. Naming them is the first step out.
