Show HN: I built a single-click lead collector to solve my fake email problem
Hey HN,
As a developer who ventured into marketing, I hit a wall that many of us face: fake emails polluting our databases. After seeing 30% of my 2000-contact list being invalid or temporary addresses, I knew something had to change.
Traditional forms weren't cutting it. Email verification was a band-aid solution. I wanted something more elegant - what if we could leverage Google Auth instead of asking users to fill out forms?
So I built a tool that does just that: one click to collect verified leads through Google authentication. No forms, no verification emails, no database cleaning. Just real, engaged contacts.
Technical challenges I faced: - Building a multi-tenant architecture for board management - Implementing real-time analytics without overloading the database - Optimizing the Auth flow for minimal friction - Handling rate limiting and quota management
Stack: - Adonisjs - Tailwind CSS - PostgreSQL - edgejs - tsx - TypeScript - unpoly
First users are seeing: - Open rates jumping from 25% to 45% - Zero invalid emails - 70% less form abandonment - 5-second average signup time
Current limitations (being honest here): - Google Auth only (more providers planned) - English interface
Would love HN's feedback on: - Technical implementation choices - Security considerations - UX improvements - Feature suggestions

Ask HN: Is there need for solving "Knowledge Silos" of closed communities?
Hey HN,
I have been noticing a trend where a lot of YC startups use Discord for community management
And in these Discord, there are a lot of repeated questions by users or just simple questions that can be answered using existing docs
Currently, resolving those questions take a lot of hours from the core engineering team
I also noticed a tweet from a YC founder on this topic https://x.com/deshrajdry/status/1845983256736665601
Is there any space for a product that tackles the knowledge silo issue and resolves user queries automatically via an AI bot? If so, is this need an urgent "hair on fire" issue?
I have made some progress in this space (scraping Discord messages and docs to create an AI that can answer new user questions) and I was wondering if it's worth it to continue
Cheers!
