srekhi··on Vapi's pivot story: 5 years and 12 pivots to a $130M valuation
I interviewed Nikhil Gupta (Vapi's cofounder/CTO) for "Before It Clicked" - where we interview founders about the messy zero-to-one. It’s a crazy story, and I left thinking there are very few people with the gumption to go through what they underwent.

They shipped 12 products across 5 years, and experienced the whole range of emotions in between: elation, depression, confusion. Nikhil even considered moving to India and leaving tech startups entirely.

Thanks to Nikhil for sharing his journey in detail.

srekhi··on Show HN: Napkin – Build back-end functions in the browser
This is awesome - using this in production for vdiff right now.

Two things I'd love: 1) code review (just like GitHub) 2) team collaboration

Awesome job y'all.

srekhi··on Launch HN: Revery.AI (YC S21) Scalable deep learning-based virtual dressing room
Awesome product.

Two things:

1) would love to rotate the model to see how it looks from all angles

2) being able to customize the model to look similar to me (so I can get a sense for how the clothes would fit on my body) would be awesome.
