Hi HN,<p>I’m researching how early-stage startups and tech teams handle IP risk when they choose not to file patents.<p>In particular: - Have you ever built something first, but worried someone else might patent it? - Did cost, speed, or uncertainty keep you from filing? - Have you used (or considered) defensive disclosures or prior art strategies?<p>I’m trying to understand real-world behavior, not sell anything. I put together a short anonymous survey to collect structured data from founders, engineers, and IP folks.<p>If you’re willing to share input, here’s the link: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forms.gle&#x2F;8UAytkGNfge4GKrH8<p>Also very interested in hearing experiences directly in the comments.<p>Thanks!

I put together a simple AI-based tool for improving image quality.<p>You upload a photo, and it outputs a cleaner version with better sharpness and resolution, while keeping the original structure intact. It’s aimed at everyday images that need a quick fix rather than full editing.<p>Everything runs in the browser.<p>I’m mainly interested in feedback on output quality, UX, and any technical improvements worth exploring.<p>Link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aienhancer.ai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aienhancer.ai&#x2F;</a>

I work at one of the bigger companies and Recently I have become completely demotivated by AI advancements, manager behaviour and exec apathy. We are not in a terrible economy yet, but workers are already suffering.<p>I have kept up with AI advancements, and used cluade code since Day1, even stayed with it when they added limits, I never advocated my company to use it, I always asked the reimbursement from my learning budget, and when asked I always say use opencode with openrouter. And we also have own CLI now. But its impossible to keep up with this whole thing and even if when we do, whats the point? I cant seem to convince anyone that we are useful, we are working harder and yet getting no rewards. Checking our internal promotion stats, the #s are down by margin that makes me cry, and most promotions are in non-SDE fields too. Its seems we are being phased out and execs have a plan. There is something weird going on.<p>I dont particularly care about _this_ job, but I care about our field. Everywhere managers are asking us to work more and execs are still not happy with anything, They dont seem to understand AI is the reason users dont use our products. They are actively hating on our products but no one seems to care.

Hi, I&#x27;m Luke. A few days ago, I published my e-book called &quot;How I Made My First Sales in 14 Days.&quot; All the knowledge I put there comes from:<p>- my own product, Pages.Report - many networking calls with much more experienced founders - analyzing indie hacker projects<p>I would love to hear some feedback from you.

Hi HN — I’m the founder of Zaph.<p>Zaph automatically drafts async standups from real work productivity tools, so engineers don’t have to context switch just to write updates. The draft arrives privately and you just approve it.<p>We’re going live in ~30 days and opening early access now.<p>I’d love feedback from teams that’ve tried async standups or struggled with daily status updates.<p>Happy to answer any technical or product questions.

I recently developed a free MP4-to-MP3 converter that allows uploading MP4 files up to 4GB in size and quickly converts them to MP3 format for export. It runs directly in your browser without requiring downloads or logins, while ensuring audio quality and cross-device compatibility during conversion. I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback on the conversion process, user experience, or potential technical improvements!
