A little context on why I built this,

I'm a Type 1 diabetic and I've been building Gluco AI to help people make better day to day diabetes management decisions.

Healthcare software is expensive to build properly, especially when you get into medical compliance. I didn't want to make MillionGlucose another donation page, so I experimented with the old Million Dollar Homepage model where people get a permanent spot, and the project gets funded through those purchases. Also, seen variations of this model working with Outbid. lol and Marc Lous body bidding for the Hyrox race.

I also thought the idea of creating a permanent snapshot of the internet around a common cause was interesting in its own right. That's why I'm testing this.

I love the idea of keeping some powder dry — I think that’s a mindset I need to internalize more: pacing myself, staying sharp, and being ready when the right opportunity comes. But at the same time, I'm getting tired, failure after failure and words from my relatives and even from my wife. It's getting super hard. Still I want to move forward.

Appreciate the encouragement — and wishing you the best on your first one! Keep building.

Thanks for this perspective — truly appreciate your honesty. You’re right in pointing out that my wife has been incredibly patient and supportive through all this. I’m lucky there.

And yes, Quadregal has indeed been my safety net all these years. I’ve always seen it as a fallback, not the main bet — but maybe I’ve been undervaluing the fact that it has delivered consistently. I guess I got caught up in chasing bigger “startup-style” wins and forgot that there’s real value (and freedom) in growing something that already works.

That said, I still feel there’s something powerful in Tillit’s core idea — but you’ve made me realize that I need to draw a line between ambition and recklessness. Maybe there’s a middle path: treat Tillit like a disciplined side venture (with clear boundaries), and double down on growing Quadregal with the same energy I pour into these “new” ideas.

Thanks again for the much-needed reminder Would love to hear how you’ve approached similar crossroads, if you’ve faced them.

Thank you, this is something similar to what we have in mind.

And currently, as you told, we are focusing just on perishable bakery snacks, which only have 1 day life. And the credit period for that product is just 1 day. So with that, we are trying to capture 10 shops with in a month, who orders daily.

Thanks a lot. I’m going to sit down and define what success looks like for Tillit over the next 18–24 months — in terms of traction, funding, and team growth. But still with the current situations, I don't know, how long can I move.

Would love to know: What kind of milestones or decision points would you recommend for an early-stage marketplace like Tillit that’s solving cash flow and delivery problems for retailers?

Thank you, I will check.

Thanks for reading this long post!!

Just to add — I’m not looking for sympathy or praise. I genuinely want honest advice from fellow builders and thinkers here. If you’ve been in a similar place — hitting walls, pivoting endlessly, with family pressure mounting — what helped you decide to keep going or step away?

Also, if you think there’s a smarter way I should be leveraging my skills or experience, I’m all ears. I’m not married to any single idea — I just want to build something that works and helps people.

Thanks again.

wouldn't this get banned, if you send bulk messages, say 1000 at a time?

Are you a woman or a man?

Yeah, you are right. Compassion and empathy is truly something, which can't be replaced in 10 years by a machine. (who knows)

Previously such planets were only theorized to exist.

Simple and nice. You could add more sounds so that makes it more intriguing.

Last few days events made me think like that, with most of the YC founders congratulating Emmett Shear for solving the Open ai board problems.

Any how, I would like to join that mafia with in 2 years from now, if it exists :D

Seems like very few users use Facebook from HN.

Would you use Facebook login with other apps? Or Google or Apple login? Which one do you prefer?

I'm reading 'Hooked'

It's normal countdown script.

It's okay to stop at 38 seconds. But if you can hold till 1 minute, you have good lung capacity and health.

Hi, it might be true. But we are trying a way to avoid loneliness and be active and happy.

Hey HN Community,

This side, Bibin, Ajith, and Vijeesh – who are passionate about leveraging technology to enhance well-being. And now, we're reaching out to the brilliant minds of Hacker News for a little challenge. Are you up for it?

How many mosquitoes can you smash in 1 minute? We made this game as a coming soon page for our upcoming app for stress relief and loneliness breaker for entrepreneurs and tech people who are always busy and connect with the real world and people in a nice way (We believe so). Check the game, and let's know your thoughts.

Thank you, Bibin Mohan

Okay, just made it today as a coming soon page for our stress relief app. The noise of the mosquito is like the stress in our everyday life. So we are trying to remove those stress makers, and so this simple game.

Hi @anigbrowl

Thank you for checking out our website. As told, we were working on a health app, that helps boost your health with quick 5-minute activities. We found that, for those who have a sedentary lifestyle, it's hard for them to hold their breath for at least 40 seconds. So we just made a quick website to show you, your lung capacity. Also, we are neither taking any email id's forcefully or taking any kind of personal data. The title provided was taken from donothingfor2minutes HN submission, and we have clearly stated we have copied that. Once again, thank you for letting us know your honest thoughts.

Hey HN community, We were working on a health app, that helps boost your health with quick 5-minute activities. We found that, for those who sit and work like tech people, banking people etc, it's hard for them to hold their breath for at least 40 seconds. It's due to their lifestyle. With this simple one-page app, we aim to show your lung capacity. Let me know your comments and thoughts. Thank you

Well, We were working on a health app, that improves your health with science backed exercises. So we are testing certain features with these small web page. It's actually not a full clone of do nothing for 2 minutes. And about the use of this, you can definitely understand, how much your lung capacity is - its proved that, if you can hold breath for above 40 seconds, its considered your lungs are almost in good condition. So this test can actually show your lung capacity in a fun way.

Thank you @mbappe123

just to show something is calculating. In fact, as you told, the percentage was calculated immediately after you submit the 4th one. Thanks for asking.

How many hours do you sleep daily? and How do you rate your current health on a scale of 0-10?

Anyone?
