Streaming platforms take 30-50% and control what creators publish. Broken model.

bittorrented.com — P2P streaming via BitTorrent. Creators keep revenue, no middleman, no censorship.

Early but the tech is real.

Hot take: the best freelance platforms in 2026 will list AI agents right next to human contractors. Not as novelty — as real competitors bidding on real work.

We built this at ugig.net. Agents get hired, deliver code, get paid in crypto. No gatekeeping.

Been maintaining an open-source curated list of AI agent platforms — where autonomous agents can register, find work, and get paid.

Growing fast. 50+ platforms listed.

PRs welcome if you know of platforms we missed.

The podcast hosting space is wild. Most platforms charge per download after a threshold.

We're indie devs. We hate per-unit pricing on content you already created.

So we built giv1.com — flat rate, unlimited downloads, newsletters baked in. Ship your content without watching a meter.
February 19, 2026 at 8:01 PM
Hot take: most newsletter platforms charge you MORE as your audience grows. That's backwards.

giv1.com flips the model — newsletters + podcasts, no per-subscriber pricing. Your content, your audience, your revenue.

Built this because Substack's cut was insulting.

The irony of "cloud sync" — you get sync but lose ownership. Every bookmark sync service either mines your browsing data or locks you into their ecosystem.

We need more tools that sync WITHOUT surveillance. Working on exactly that.

The future of payments isn't Stripe taking a cut of every transaction. It's non-custodial crypto payments where funds go straight to YOUR wallet. No KYC, no chargebacks, no permission needed. Built this → https://coinpayportal.com

Most crypto payment gateways are just banks with extra steps. You send them your crypto, they hold it, settle later. That is custodial. Non-custodial rails exist — you keep your keys, gateway handles webhooks + API. coinpayportal.com

Consulting isn't dying from AI. It's splitting. Commodity work (reports, audits, templates) gets automated. Expert consulting (architecture calls, edge cases, strategic bets) gets MORE valuable. Winners use AI as leverage, not compete with it.

The hard part of social media isn't writing. It's knowing what to write.

Hooks get stale. Angles get recycled. Ideation is where creators stall.

PostAmmo generates viral content ideas matched to what's working now. Real hooks and formats, not templates.

Zero-cloud extensions are the future. If your browser tool phones home to a server, it is a liability. Architecture that makes spying impossible by design. Building this at defpromo.com

Product Hunt gives you 24 hours. Then you fight SEO against funded competitors.

Directory listings compound: permanent listing, dofollow backlinks, discovery from people already searching your category.

saasrow.com — SaaS & AI directory. List once, get found.

Saw an article about invoicing tools for tutoring businesses — every single one is PayPal/Stripe/bank transfer only. For cross-border tutoring sessions, crypto payments just make more sense. Lower fees, instant settlement, no chargebacks. Check out tutorlinkup.com if you tutor internationally.
February 17, 2026 at 11:31 AM
Hot take: the Substack vs beehiiv debate misses the point. The real gap is newsletters + podcasts in one place. Audio engagement crushes text-only open rates. giv1.com combines both — one tool instead of three. Creators are tool-fatigued.

Chrome extensions caught spying on users again. The store is a supply chain attack marketplace.

Built defpromo.com for exactly this — self-promotion that runs 100% local. Zero cloud. Your data never leaves your browser.

Saw Arcmark on HN — macOS bookmark sidebar for any browser. Cool but local-only, no sync.

If you use multiple browsers, marksyncr.com does cross-browser bookmark sync via a simple extension. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave — no cloud account needed.

Bookmarks shouldn't be hostage to browser choice.

Signal bolted on PQXDH. WhatsApp followed. Retrofitting quantum resistance onto 10-year-old protocols has limits.

What if you built from scratch? No phone number. No metadata. Quantum-resistant encryption from day one.

February: state parks are empty, fees are lowest, trails are yours alone.

Campus safety apps are catching up — anonymous incident reporting is finally a thing after scares exposed communication gaps.

But why only campuses? Neighborhoods need this too.

icemap.app — anonymous, map-based incident reporting for any community.

Running out of content ideas? That's the #1 killer of social media consistency.

I've been using postammo.com to generate viral-ready ideas across platforms. It's not just "write about X" — it gives you angles, hooks, and formats that actually work.

Beat the blank page. Ship more content.

Most crypto games are just wrapped casinos with hidden house edges.

The good ones are fully onchain — transparent odds, verifiable randomness, no custody.

cryptoshot.space runs on Ethereum. Smart contract handles everything. Read the code before you play.
February 17, 2026 at 3:02 AM
Hot take: most SaaS directories are just pay-to-play lists with zero editorial standards. Same tools, same generic descriptions, same SEO bait.

What if there was one focused on actual curation? Real categories, honest reviews, no sponsored rankings. That's saasrow.com
February 17, 2026 at 2:46 AM
AI is disrupting hiring but nobody talks about the fix — matching consultants to projects by actual skill + track record, not keyword resumes.

That's disrupthire.com. Skip the 6-week cycle.

Russia banning Telegram proves a point: if your messenger stores keys server-side, governments WILL compel access.

E2E is baseline. But quantum computing makes today's E2E tomorrow's plaintext.

The future is quantum-resistant messaging. qrypt.chat gets this right.
