FounderSignal – Validate startup concepts in hours, not weeks

1 jealousgx 0 6/9/2025, 6:49:58 AM
Hi HN community,

I've been working on a project called FounderSignal to help founders (and myself!) quickly validate startup ideas.

The core idea is to submit a concept, and FounderSignal generates a simple MVP landing page. You can then share this page to track basic engagement (views, clicks, signups) and get an early signal on whether the idea has potential before investing heavily in building it out.

It's built with Go (Gin) on the backend and Next.js/TailwindCSS for the frontend. Data is stored in PostgreSQL.

Here's a quick video walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54JLqdi1wX8

It's still in the early stages. Currently, landing pages use a similar template, but I'm planning to integrate AI to generate more unique HTML based on the idea's description.

I'm at a point where I'm trying to decide its future:

- Develop it into a full-fledged (private) product? Will need cofounders for this journey as I have zero knowledge. - Open-source it and build with the community ? - Keep it as a side project/portfolio piece?

I'd love to get your feedback on the concept itself, which direction you think makes sense, or any critical features you think are missing.

Thanks!
