I'm looking for good guides on how to structure deep research prompts to get the best results.

Does seeding the prompt with example results generally help the output or overly constrain things?

Hello all! Last week, I made a post about making a website so we can sync govee lights with live sports scores. Y'all have been awesome and showed a lot of appreciation :). It's in a decent place to let some people give it a try, tell me what works, what doesn't etc. Currently, I made 2 scenes.

Scene one is "game day morning", which will automatically turn your lights to the color of your team. This happens around 3am est, on game day. Scene two, is the classic scoring. Anytime your team scores, you can run a custom diy scene (that you created within the govee app) to play. This lasts 10 seconds then reverts back to your color. I have so many more "scenes" in the works and plan to release 1-2 a week.

Im looking for beta testers to help get the timing down. Right now, it seems like sometimes the "scene" will run before a score is seen (especially if you're streaming the game), so I'm looking to make tweaks on the timing.

These lights will only work with wifi controlled devices.

Pitbull is coming to Stockholm. As a part of that prep, I built an app with glassmorphism style counting down to the big day

Hey YC community,

I’ve been running a small marketing agency since I was 19 (now 26), but I’ve always wanted to transition into something more technical and hands-on. About 8months ago, I took the leap into drone technology, and after meeting some great people, we identified a real pain point among farmers in Central California: pest control inefficiencies.

What We’re Building

We’re developing an automated drone system designed to deter pests by flying pre-configured routes with randomized parameters to prevent habituation. The drone will autonomously take off, execute its flight path, land, and recharge—with the long-term goal of expanding into broader agronomic automation solutions.

Current Progress

- MVP launches next month for initial trials on a few farms (Super simple quadcopter with GPS, Ardupilot). - Farmers are excited, and all feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. - We’re considering applying for YC Summer 2025 if early results validate our approach.

What We Need Help With

Right now, we feel like we’re in an echo chamber of positive feedback, and we want realistic, critical insights from experienced founders and engineers.

- What are common pitfalls in autonomous drone deployments we should anticipate (Related to ArduPilot)? - What challenges might we face as we scale beyond early adopters? - If you were in our position, what red flags would you be looking for before pushing forward?

We’re new to the drone space but moving fast, and any brutally honest feedback is hugely appreciated.

Thanks for your time!
