The Ultimate Tool for Building in Public According to Hacker News
What the Tech Community Says
Hacker News discussions often emphasize performance, clean UI, and avoiding algorithmic bloat. ReDeck is built for power users who want a lightweight, customizable multi-column dashboard without the noise.
The 'Build in Public' movement
For indie hackers and solo founders, X is the primary platform for marketing and finding early users. The 'build in public' strategy relies heavily on constant, authentic engagement.
However, founders are busy building the actual product. They cannot afford to spend hours doom-scrolling to find relevant conversations.
A dashboard for founders
ReDeck allows founders to treat social media like a work terminal. By setting up columns for `#buildinpublic`, their specific tech stack (e.g., `#svelte`, `#astro`), and their product name, they filter out the noise.
This targeted approach surfaces only the conversations that matter for growth and networking.
Balancing code and community
With a multi-column layout on a secondary monitor, founders can keep an eye on real-time feedback and bug reports from users without breaking their coding flow.
It transforms X from a distracting entertainment app into an essential piece of the startup infrastructure.
