We now aggregate Hackathons, Bounties, Grants, Builders Programs and Jobs all in one place so you never miss an opportunity
I built HackList because I hated how fragmented finding opportunities was now I get to use it for myself along side with the community🟢

startup idea for you
use OpenHands (75k+ github stars) + 131 free subagents to sell a "done-for-you AI engineering team" to SMBs that need custom software
what's OpenHands? open-source agent runtime that runs Claude/GPT as actual software engineers. they read your codebase, edit files, run tests, open PRs
idea:
1. self-host OpenHands on a $20/mo VPS. claude code walks you through setup in an afternoon
2. pick one niche. real estate brokerages, dental practices, law firms, marketing agencies. SMBs that need custom software but can't afford a developer
3. wrap it in their language. "your AI engineering team for dental practices" not "an OpenHands instance with 131 subagents."
4. install the relevant subagents from VoltAgent. crm-specialist for real estate, hipaa-auditor for healthcare, document-automation for law firms
5. plug in MCP servers from the 14k+ available. GitHub, Stripe, Twilio, Postgres, Calendly. now your AI team can ship, deploy, integrate, and notify
6. charge $2,000-5,000/month per client. nothing compared to a $15k/mo dev shop or a $25k/mo junior hire. you're 5x cheaper and the work doesn't stop overnight
7. build one landing page. one onboarding call. record the AGENTS.md setup once. the rest is supervision
8. become the "AI engineering team for [niche]" person on X, LinkedIn, YouTube. share what your agents shipped this week. case studies sell themselves
9. reinvest profits into vertical-specific agents. a "patient-intake-automator" for dental. a "lease-document-generator" for real estate. now you own the vertical
these businesses KNOW they need custom software. they hate hiring developers. they will never find OpenHands on github. they will google "outsource my software development." that's you
open source is the new wholesale. the code is free. the orchestration is where the margin lives
one person can do this. two-person team scales to $50k/mo. you don't need funding. you don't need an office. you need a laptop, a niche, and the willingness to start
someone is going to do this. might as well be you

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just listed 9 patterns that waste 73% of your tokens.
in this podcast he breaks down exactly how the model burns tokens before it even reads your prompt:
- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the 13% you pay re-reading old chat history
- the 11% from hooks you forgot you installed
- why most "Claude got dumber" complaints are wrong
if you're hitting Max limits more than once a week, you have at least 4 of these. Probably 7.
instead of another show tonight, watch this.
my own breakdown based on 400+ hours of usage is below, read it after the podcast
POV: claude traveled 6 months into the future and told you exactly how your next move failed.
it's called a premortem.
daniel kahneman (nobel prize-winning psychologist behind "thinking fast and slow") called it his single most valuable decision-making technique.
google, goldman sachs, and procter & gamble all use it before major launches.
here's the problem it solves.
when you ask claude "is this a good plan?" it finds all the reasons to say yes.
that's what it was trained to do. so you walk away feeling confident.
you execute, and spend weeks / months building on top of that plan.
then it blows up.
and you realize the problem was obvious in hindsight, you just never stress-tested it because claude told you it was solid.
a premortem fixes this by flipping the frame.
instead of asking "what could go wrong?" you tell claude "it's 6 months from now and this is already dead. tell me how it died."
that shift turns off claude's optimism because there's nothing to be optimistic about. the premise already says it failed.
so claude stops looking for reasons your plan will work and starts explaining how it fell apart.
claude comes back with every way your plan could die, each one with a full failure story and the early warning signs to watch for.
then a synthesis pulls it all together:
> which failure is most likely
> which failure is most dangerous
> the single biggest hidden assumption you're making (often the most valuable part)
> a revised version of your plan with the gaps closed
you say "premortem this" and give it your plan. the skill handles the rest.
