what tools did you use to build it?
Shailendra_S··on Why Japan has such good railways
One word dedication of Japanese people. They care very dedicated to their country. I respect this thing the most in them. They are very hardworking also.
Shailendra_S··on Anonymous request-token comparisons from Opus 4.6 and Opus 4.7
45% is brutal if you're building on top of these models as a bootstrapped founder. The unit economics just don't work anymore at that price point for most indie products.

What I've been doing is running a dual-model setup — use the cheaper/faster model for the heavy lifting where quality variance doesn't matter much, and only route to the expensive one when the output is customer-facing and quality is non-negotiable. Cuts costs significantly without the user noticing any difference.

The real risk is that pricing like this pushes smaller builders toward open models or Chinese labs like Qwen, which I suspect isn't what Anthropic wants long term.

Shailendra_S··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2026) (Non AI)
The hardest question to answer honestly. Have you tried talking to people who run live events or team standups? That feels like your most obvious early use case — they already have the pain and no account requirement is a genuine advantage there. Good luck with it.
Shailendra_S··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2026) (Non AI)
This is actually solving a real pain — I'm building on Lovable too and the SEO situation for vibe-coded apps is genuinely rough out of the box. Never occurred to me the issue was at the crawler rendering layer. Going to check this out, appreciate you building it.
Shailendra_S··on Building a SaaS in 2026 Using Only EU Infrastructure
Yeah the LLM dependency is the elephant in the room for anyone serious about going full EU. But honestly there's another layer people don't talk about — even the idea validation stage is US-dependent now. Most founders are just pasting their idea into ChatGPT before they build anything. If you're truly sovereignty-conscious that's worth factoring in too, not just the infra you deploy on.
