Founder moves to consider

  • Start the next invoicing software market interview batch around "Google killed my $1M ARR startup overnight" so you preserve the exact complaint language before summarizing it away.
  • Compare the top switching signal, "Ask HN: How do I find startups that are looking for a dev? How to approach them?", against your current positioning to see whether buyers are asking for a simpler alternative or a more trusted one.
  • Use "Show HN: I Made a Claude Skill for Spec-Driven Development (SDD)" to pressure-test whether the wedge is really about product breadth or about fixing one visible competitor weakness better than anyone else.
