just hit 150 signups on the thing I built to run my own business!!

honestly can't believe it. built this product because three weeks after shipping my product my GTM was a disaster, investor pipeline all over the place, invoices slipping through the cracks.

connects up the tools you're already using and lets you run/query all of it in plain language instead of twelve tabs open at once.

to celebrate, i'm giving the next 100 founders a year free (worth up to $2400!) if you connect 2+ tools and tick off 15+ to-dos in your first two weeks. genuinely want more real usage before i go raise next month... the more people using the platform, the faster we can improve it.

use code REDDIT14 at signup for a 14 day trial instead of the usual 3, plenty of time to actually put it through its paces.

The most annoying part of vibe coding a real product wasn't the code, it was staying organised

Not a code question, more a process one. Once Base (withbase.ai, disclosure, I'm building it) got past prototype stage, the thing that slowed me down most wasn't the AI getting stuff wrong, it was losing track of decisions, half-finished threads, and what I'd already tried.

Curious if others hit the same wall and how you dealt with it, since most advice here is about model choice rather than staying on top of the project itself.

Shipped Base after months of vibe coding, sharing what actually worked and what didn't

Wanted to share some honest lessons rather than just a launch post.

What worked: building one thin vertical slice end to end before touching any other feature, so I always had something demoable. What didn't: trusting the agent's data model choices early on, I had to rebuild the core schema twice because I let it guess at structure instead of specifying it myself upfront.

Disclosure: Base (withbase.ai) is a tool for early-stage founders to stay on top of the operational side of running a company, the boring stuff that otherwise lives in five different tabs. Demo here if useful: https://youtu.be/N8kxZ28gfag?is=dT80wFU4j2G\_guZ4. Happy to go into more detail on any part of the build.

Launched on Product Hunt today, would appreciate some love!

We're live on Product Hunt today.

Base gives lean founding teams the operating layer of a much larger company. You've shipped your product, probably vibe-coded it with Lovable, Cursor or Bolt. Then reality hits: a customer with no contract, a hire with no HR, a fundraise with no financial visibility. Every one of those sends you down a different rabbit hole while your momentum dies.

Base connects your stack and gives lean founding teams the operating layer of a much larger company. Instruct it in natural language to pull a financial report, draft an investor update, or chase an invoice, and it executes across your connected tools. Underneath, a company brain built on a knowledge graph gets sharper about your business the longer you use it.

Would love a look, a comment, and an upvote if it's useful to you.

Where is the best place to put together a lot of demos very quickly ?

I've just launched my product in the last 48 hours and it's getting tonnes of traction. 100+ users already and nearly 1k on the waitlist.

My problem is that they aren't all using the full functionality of the site. I want to put together a full suite of short demo videos for every function on the site (for help/FAQs) but also for content (YouTube etc).

Literally just:

  • record screen
  • use script (that I will provide) for subtitles and text-to-speech (human sounding)
  • some background music

Some tools seem to be going way OTT with using AI to add a bunch of stuff I don't need. And some are super manual so take a bunch of time. Is there a mass tool for this?

Thanks!
