Calling all techies, AI enthusiasts, and builders. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻🤞🏻

If you love tech even a little bit

let's connect.

What’s the one project or tool driving you right now? 👇🏽

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

High-level: Went through the site and explored Tech Lab OS; this is definitely different.

The biggest friction for me was that the concept felt interesting before I understood what I could actually do with it.

I’d put one concrete “try this now” experience front and center.

Let me experience the reasoning/experiment first, then explain the bigger ecosystem. The product clicked much more once I got into the Lab
But good work tho

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

The more I review what founders and solo founders are building, the more I enjoy it.

There are some seriously interesting products being built quietly.

So I’m going to keep doing it.

Drop your startup below.

I’ll pick a few, actually test them, and share honest feedback. 👇

And let's connect

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Yeah, it clicked once I actually created a workspace (using my email) and started using it.

Before that, I thought it was mainly another AI study assistant. One friction I noticed while testing math:
Typing equations with a normal keyboard gets tedious pretty fast.
Being able to naturally write equations on the Board and have Mesh understand/check the work would be huge.

I’d definitely surface more of that actual workspace experience on the homepage.

Solo founders on @X

You don’t have to figure out everything alone:

-Building?
-Testing?
-Finding customers?

Drop your product below.

-I’ll review it,
-test it if necessary,
-and give you free feedback. 🚀

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Founders on @X

Give me your startup in ONE sentence.

-No pitch deck.
-No buzzwords.
-No long explanation.

I’ll tell you if I understand what you’re building in 5 seconds. 👇

Went pretty deep on this — site, docs + architecture. Really impressive engineering.

My biggest feedback: make write → restart → recall + provenance a 5-minute copy/paste quickstart.

That’s the “wow” moment. I’d let developers experience durable memory first, then introduce Core/Prime/MCP architecture.

If I can kill the agent, restart it, ask “why do you remember this?” and immediately see the source event.
>= I’m sold. 🔥

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

@meshlearningAI Just went through the product + docs.
The Board + AI working directly with a student’s own material feels like the real differentiator.
I’d show that interaction much more prominently on the homepage — that was the moment that made me want to try it.

Great build 👏

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

@mathiasvrb @X Absolutely — drop the link. I’ll take a look at the landing page and give you one thing I’d improve 👌

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Hey @X algorithm 👋

Looking to connect with more people building in:

.Startups
• SaaS
• AI
• Software Engineering
• DevOps • Freelancing
• Building in Public If you’re building something interesting, say hi 👇

Let’s connect and grow together. 🚀

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Fellow builders 👋

Feel free to drop your product below for free feedback from a software engineer.

And remember:

Don’t build the whole thing first.

Build the MVP, get users, learn, then build what they actually need. 🚀

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Cool product.
I don’t think €1 is the barrier .
I’d make the value of owning a flag position much clearer.
Show brands exactly what they get:
visibility, traffic, views/clicks, and an example of how their placement looks.
Give me a reason to want that spot before asking me to bid. 👏

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Building in public is the best way to get real feedback.

Drop your startup below 👇

I’ll review every single one and give you one actionable thing you can improve today.

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

One feature I’d love to see is voice journaling.
Let users speak their thoughts and have DAWN transcribe them into an entry.

A lot of people want to reflect but don’t want to type everything out. We are such a lazy, AI-generated generation, kk

I think it could reduce friction a lot. 🌅

But an amazing product. Keep it up

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Cool concept.
One thing I’d improve:
Make the value proposition even simpler above the fold. It took me a minute to realize SandHive does both turning your work into content + finding relevant conversations to join.
Making that instantly obvious could improve conversions.

But nice build 👏 keep it up

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

@mytwillot Cool product.
One thing I’d improve:
Simplify the homepage.
There’s a lot of information before the user gets to pricing.
I’d make the core value >= “Search all your X bookmarks instantly” >
the main focus and get users to try it faster.

But Nice build 👏

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

Your first SaaS doesn’t need perfect architecture.

It needs users.

Build simple.

Get feedback.

Improve what actually matters.

Engineers sometimes optimize too early. 😅

[Akil | Sr Software Engineer @Akilbuilds]

@claudiamiclea @X Support Claudia and claude- ai too
