Thanks to the community, our Calendly replacement - Kalendar's launch was a huge success last week. Our mission at founding.dev is to help companies cut SaaS spend by up to 90% by replacing overpriced, bloated SaaS with tools they own.

What should we launch next that would save you thousands of dollars?

Loving the product, will be deleting my calendly account soon.
Currently I cannot customize the booking url, is this coming soon?

Hi I want to appreciate everyone who took out time to support Kalendar, the love was real and organic and goes to show that Product Hunt is a place where one who is not known can get visibility on their product so long as it solves a real problem very well. We will do our best to keep being active in this space, releasing one template at a time to support our mission at @founding.dev of reducing the cost of SaaS for business, so they can channel the savings towards causes that drive their impact, innovation and growth.

Thank you! Thank you! and Thank You!

AI as you know it is disrupting industries, and the software industry is at the forefront of this disruption. So what will be the future of SaaS, a model that presents users value for use?

The first and most important impact as we are already seeing is that the barrier for non-technical people to build software they require will drastically drop. This is evident in tools like lovable, bolt, replit etc... where users with no coding experience can whip up apps in a couple of minutes or hours as the case maybe.

Hi hunters, we'd be on the list of products on product hunt launch tomorrow. If there's anything you need to know about Kalendar, I'd be happy to answer.

Hi Hunters!
My name is Talha and I'm the maker of kalendar.work. I built kalendar.work as a free replacement for Calendly. If you ever need a tool that does scheduling the way Calendly does, then kalendar is your go to tool, and even more interesting, it is completely free.

But here's the thing this is just me saying it has the features of Calendly, I'd like you to see for yourself, visit kalendar.work use it, and please come back here to share how good it is or how terrible it is at doing the job you need it to do. Which is scheduling.

Hey folks!

I'll be in SF during the first half of June and was wondering if there are any must-attend startup events, meetups, or founder gatherings happening around that time. Would love to connect with the local scene any recommendations appreciated!

4 days ago Tom Blomfield from Y Combinator posted a video explaining some of the techniques to be good at Vibe Coding. Tom says in the start that the best techniques for Vibe Coding are the ones used by professional Software Engineers to write code (kinda ironic).
Before we talk about what Tom has to say about Vibe Coding, here are some of the reviews about Vibe Coding from the YC Founders.
Nicole Lu - If your AI editor is taking you into a loop, sometimes it helps to go to the LLM's website and paste the same code.
Skyler Ji - I open both Cursor and Windsurf side by side, give them the same problem to solve and pick the best response.
Sacha Servan-Schreiber - Take Vibe Coding as a new programming language. And to get the best results, you will have to provide a lot of context
Arshad Shaikh - I usually do Vibe Coding in the reverse direction. I write the test cases followed by the code that then has to satisfy these test cases. I never micro-manage an LLM while Vibe Coding.
Antoni Gmitruk - Spend time crafting the architecture and other details with an LLM before offloading it to an AI editor.
Vibe Coding Advice from Tom:
1. Pick Up the Tools: If you don't know a lot about programming start with Lovable or Replit. These tools give you a feel of the UI. And if you know how to write code (doesn't matter how good you are), you should try dabbling with tools like Windsurf or Cursor
2. Use Version Control Religiously: Once you have something you think is working, feel free to push to github. Do not rely on the LLM to revert the code for you because this is not always reliable
3. Write High Level Tests: Have your LLM write high level tests for your software so that you safeguard your application against unwanted changes by the LLM.
4. Bug Fixes: Sometimes, when you encounter an error message, just copy pasting the error stack is good enough for the LLM to solve it for you. For complex bugs, it's okay to reset after a failed attempt and starting over. Again, Github is your friend.
5. Documentation: You can download all the documentation for the framework you're working with and put it into a subfolder for the AI editor to access.
6. Choosing the tech stack: It's a safe bet to work with something that has been around for a long time and has a lot of open source code available.

It used to be fashionable to be "in stealth," but then our collective wisdom shifted to "launch early and launch often." In my experience, there are two good reasons for this:

The first reason is that it's often more important to figure out whether people want what you're building than it is to figure out whether you can build the best possible version of it. Launching early gives you the opportunity to either pivot or iterate quickly. Launching is learning.

Hey everyone. My name is Talha Masood and I am a second time founder. Previously I built Remotebase[dot]com and raised $2.7 million for my startup.

I am now building an AI editor to help interviewers assess vibe coding skills in software engineers. I myself vibe code every single day, even though I have more than 10 years of experience writing code. I believe that software teams can now move 10x faster if they're using the right AI workflows and tools.
Here are a few facts about me:

• I have launched close to 10 times on Product Hunt

• I organize a lot of IRL events in San Francisco. My latest event is happening on April 24th. Here's the link to it if you're interested - https://lu.ma/5s9vc24j

• I can write code 10x faster than an average software engineer by using the right Vibe Coding tools. Please challenge me. P.S. I came up with the number 10x out of thin air lol. But I do a lot of Vibe Coding

• I am also looking for a technical co-founder right now.
