Drop your wins, observations, or frustrations in the comments. Let's crowdsource the real hiring trends for April 2025.

Show HN: I built a visual topic explorer for SEOs and content creators
Hey HN! I'm a solopreneur building TopicLoops – a tool that turns any topic into a hierarchical mindmap using web data. It’s built for SEOs, founders, and content creators who want to deeply understand a topic and its subtopics before writing.
Instead of grinding through Ahrefs or Semrush (which I did for years), TopicLoops gives you a visual sunburst diagram of a topic’s structure—automatically. You can even dig deeper into each topic to find more specific angles and related subtopics.
It’s in beta right now and I’d love your feedback. I built it because… well, because there was no tool like this :)
Let me know what you think!

Partnero – Affiliate and referral management with advanced commissions
Hey HN,
We’re the team behind Partnero — a platform that helps SaaS and e-commerce companies build and scale affiliate, referral, and influencer programs in one place.
What is Partnero?
Partnero is a powerful affiliate and referral management tool featuring advanced commission settings, automated payouts (via PayPal and Wise), fraud protection, and dynamic tracking options like branded links and promo codes. It’s built with partner experience in mind, offering intuitive, white-labeled partner and referral portals.
We just launched v2 based on a ton of feedback from early users, and here’s what’s new and improved:
Key Features:
- Advanced & multi-tier commissions – Use an advanced, performance-based reward model to incentivize your partners.
- Goal-based rewards - Keep your partners motivated by rewarding them for reaching set goals.
- White-label partner and referral portals – Each partner gets a self-serve dashboard to track performance.
- Automated payouts & invoice management – Pay partners at scale, or let us handle it via consolidated billing.
- Custom promo codes & branded links – Ideal for influencers and personal brand alignment.
- Newsletter referral program – Let subscribers refer others and grow your list with incentives like coupons or free content. Integrates with Mailchimp, MailerLite, Kit, and more.
- Lead submission & tracking – Perfect for B2B partnerships or sales-driven referrals.
- Embeddable signup forms – No-code forms and popups for recruiting partners directly on your site.
- Shopify & WooCommerce support – Seamless integration for ecom referral programs.
- Partnero Marketplace – Connect with top-performing affiliates looking for new programs.
We’re aiming to make partner-based growth just as plug-and-play as running paid ads — but with better ROI and long-term value.
Happy to answer any questions, share what we’ve learned building this, or hear what you’d expect from a tool like this.

Show HN: An AI agent in Obsidian that can (sort of) write plugins
This is a plugin for Obsidian [1] that can extend Obsidian with custom functionality.
There's a demo video in the readme.
Why?
Obsidian is a note taking app with tons of extensions. Even so, there must be hyper-niche use cases that aren't being served by any existing extension. LLMs are decent at coding though, so maybe an LLM can write custom functionality on demand.
That's the experiment, to see if you can customize your notes app simply by asking the LLM.
The obvious caveat is that the plugin is only as good as the LLM driving it. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how capable Sonnet 3.7 is at writing Obsidian code (without examples). However, even so, it is far from perfect.
Is this useful?
It's _interesting_, but I'm not sure yet how useful it is. The AI doesn't always succeed, and the combination of prompt + model will make or break the experience.
I'm looking to get feedback.
Broadly speaking I'd love to see more software that could be customized to meet extremely specific user needs.
