We just released websockets today.

Test coverage is high. I'd recommend checking it out to form your own opinions.

Cool, but it's a bit hard to rotate. Could be more intuitive.

I tried creating a tool, it's been stuck "generating" for a few minutes now.

I can't seem to create tools on https://anytoolhq.com/dashboard. Report back when it works, and I'll give it a try.

SamTinnerholm··on Should I focus on improving my product or acquiring new users?
Hi Bob,

I see what you're saying. Stay laser-focused on potential enterprise customers, and iterate with them until they pay.

SamTinnerholm··on Should I focus on improving my product or acquiring new users?
This is brilliant advice. I'll email my users to find out.
SamTinnerholm··on Should I focus on improving my product or acquiring new users?
Some background: I previously built and sold a Chrome extension that reached 30k users, and created an open source tool with around 150 stars and 11k downloads that's been adopted by companies like Goldman Sachs.

I'm now building qoery.com. The product is functional but not fully polished. I have 60 sign-ups but no paying customers yet. The feedback I'm getting from existing users is "improve the product and we'll pay."

I've spent the last two weeks iterating heavily on the product based on this feedback. It's significantly better now, but growth has completely stagnated during this time.

So I'm facing a dilemma: should I keep iterating based on user feedback until I convert those first users to paid customers? Or should I shift focus to customer acquisition and try to find users who might pay for what exists today?

Looking for advice from founders who've been through this.

I can't tell how this differs to Cursor from your website. How is it different?
SamTinnerholm··on Show HN: Data engine scraping stats, killing Statista's $490/month model
Type 'EV adoption rates in Norway' and get a formatted time-series CSV in 10 seconds. That's the entire product. Statista charges €490/month for literally the same thing.

Still early and has rough edges: some queries fail, source citations need work, and the UI is... functional. But it works well enough that I've stopped paying for Statista. Which is wild because most of this data is already public anyway.

Free tier is live at qoery.com. What data would you search for first, and did it actually work?
