Hi HN,

Longtime lurker, first time Show-er here.

We built Ghostwriter to solve a problem we kept hitting: turning inconsistent, fragmented thoughts into something structured and useful, whether that’s a presentation, a project plan, or a meeting agenda.

We’re 3 co-founders with backgrounds in consulting, engineering and design. Over the past two years, we’ve been working with clients: running workshops, giving status updates and solving complex problems together. Again and again, we wished for a tool that married collaborative thinking with smooth facilitation features and the ability to create polished outputs.

What Ghostwriter does:

- You can start from scratch or bring in content like notes, documents, presentations, transcripts, links

- It structures your inputs into a top-down, question-led mind map, with succinct answers supported by a clear rationale

- AI helps you generate, refine, and reorganize ideas, all while staying grounded in your inputs using RAG

- Export the result to PowerPoint, PDF, or keep working inside the tool

- Use it for team problem-solving, meeting facilitation, planning, or creating presentations

Ghostwriter has changed our own workflow: instead of collating multiple sources of info and ping-ponging deliverables back and forth with formatting and content changes, we now focus on pure thinking, collaborating in a shared space that maintains structure and clarity from initial ideation to final output.

We’re in open beta and would love your feedback on what’s working, what’s unclear, and what you’d want it to do better. Sign up free at https://gwriter.io.

Thanks!

I developed and app that helps coders that use cursor windsurf lovable or bolt to scan their websites and get a light audit for things like leaked api keys, missing headers, public .env and misconfigured databases like Supabase RLS.

The tool also includes a widget to make sure that an authenticated user can't change his sensitive data.

I just released this not even a month ago and I am at $100 MRR and a lot of paying users saying that they loved it and it helped them.

I developed https://www.socialleaderboard.com, a web tool that tracks engagement metrics for indie founders and creators posting on Twitter.

It’s built for two groups:

Creators and solopreneurs who want to analyze their tweet performance over time

Brands or SaaS tools looking to identify high-performing, relevant profiles to potentially collaborate with

The leaderboard ranks profiles monthly based on engagement rate and surface-level performance. Each user profile includes average metrics per tweet, engagement rate, top content, and topic trends over time.

All data is public and focused on discoverability and insight rather than influencer scale. Profiles can be requested directly from the page if someone isn't tracked yet.

I’ve been working on LLMContentReady, a tool that analyzes and improves your website’s visibility to large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and more.

The idea is simple: content that’s well-structured, citable, and knowledge-rich is more likely to be surfaced by AI assistants — and LLMContentReady scores and helps optimize your pages for exactly that.

It crawls your site, gives you a breakdown of what LLMs look for (headings, Q&A patterns, citations, schema, etc.), and suggests improvements with an AI-powered editor.

Still early, and I’m looking for feedback from technical folks who care about the future of search and content discovery.

Would love to know:

•How useful is this in your workflow? •What would you expect from a tool like this? •Would you use this as an SEO/content lead or founder?
