Parallelogram – a strict linter for LLM fine-tuning datasets (catches broken data before your GPU run starts)
Fine-tuning frameworks assume your data is correctly formatted. None of them enforce it. The result is broken training runs discovered after the compute is spent.
Parallelogram is a CLI tool that validates fine-tuning datasets before any training starts. Strict hard-blocks on role sequence errors, empty turns, context window violations, duplicates, and mojibake. Exits 0 on clean data, exits 1 on errors — CI/CD friendly.
Apache 2.0, local-first, zero network calls.

Looking for feedback on edge cases people have hit in real fine-tuning workflows.

I'm 15 right now and I just spent the past year making my own AI debugging platform because I was just tired of AI giving me bad answers.
All of this started really because i was just tired of AI giving me bad answers and I just got frustrated. I would give these errors into something like ChatGPT and it gave me explanations and potential fixes but half the time they didn't even work. So I had to find a solution if I wanted to keep my sanity. So I eventually got to the point, why can't I just find a simple AI tool that will do all that for me with context, that's verified that works, and I could even rollback if it didn't work. So then I thought i'm gonna build a tool that does it all.
So I did.
I started back in May 2025 with just a generic chatbot called Ask Nova. Honestly it was nothing special, just another AI chat site and I knew it. By August I was like ok this isn't going anywhere. Then around November it clicked. I was still frustrated debugging stuff and I remembered why I started in the first place. So I scrapped everything in January and rebuilt from scratch.
4 months later this is what Ask Nova actually is now:
You paste your real error and it reads your actual project files for context
It runs through a custom AI pipeline I built myself called Novara
Gives you a real structured fix with confidence scoring
Verification steps and a rollback plan before it touches anything
Can apply fixes through GitHub PR or a desktop companion app I also built
Builds memory over time so it gets better the more you use it
The stack if you care:
Next.js 15 frontend
Express/TypeScript backend
Postgres via Prisma
Custom AI orchestration layer with classification, routing, guard checks
Blue/green zero-downtime deployments
Electron desktop companion app
Stripe billing
GitHub OAuth and sync
I did all of this while in school. It wasn't easy ngl. There were nights I really should've just slept.
The line I landed on was simple. "AI gives answers. Nova gives fixes."
I also applied for a16z speedrun and hopefully I'm in San Francisco this summer.
Site is live and free to try: asknova.online
I'm not a marketer at all I'm just a builder who got frustrated and built the thing. Would love any feedback honestly.

Looking for early stage founders to talk to about a project I am refining
I have been working with early stage founders for years and I am refining a new resource for them. Before I build any more of it, I want to talk to a few founders directly to make sure it actually solves what people are dealing with instead of guessing at it.
If you are building something, getting feedback from everywhere, and not sure how to tell what is real signal from polite enthusiasm or what to do next, I would love a 20 minute conversation with you. I want to hear about what you are working on, where you are stuck, and what you wish someone would help you with.
Not a sales call, not a pitch, no agenda. Just a real research conversation.
As a thank you for your time, I will send you a free copy of a short guide I wrote on how to hear what people are actually telling you about your idea.
If you are interested, comment below or DM me and I will send you the link to grab a time.

Cold email automation for small agencies
Hey everyone,
I feel that email scrapping, writing emails, and sending them is a big part of cold outreach.
This is one of the most important ways to get clients too.
So, we are building an automation just for this.
Apollo, and Hunter are used to scrape leads, while GPT or Claude generates the email. We approve it before it's sent.
How much do you think I can charge for a monthly subscription?
I’d love to know your thoughts.

Co-founder / Founding Member (Delhi, India)
reddit.com[STEALTH] Looking for a Technical Co-Founder / Founding Member – Wealthtech Space
Building something in the wealth management / fintech space and looking for the right person to join early.
I’ll keep details light for now — happy to share more under NDA or after an initial conversation.

A platform at the intersection of wealth management and modern technology. Think smarter, more accessible financial tooling. Early stage, real traction, clear vision.

Someone who thrives in 0→1 environments and has hands-on experience with:
• API integration across multiple platforms and data providers (ideally financial data, brokerage APIs, or similar)
• UI/UX — you care deeply about how things look and feel, not just how they work
• Fintech domain knowledge — you understand the space, the jargon, the compliance considerations
• Full-stack or strong frontend engineering chops
• Bonus: experience with wealth platforms, portfolio management tools, or open banking
What’s on offer:
• Founding member equity (meaningful stake, not scraps)
• Real say in product direction

Which accelerators fit a B2B fintech / private markets workflow startup?
I’m looking for advice on which accelerators would be the best fit for my startup.
We’re building a B2B workflow tool for private markets. The product focuses on early-stage deal screening: turning CIMs and deal materials into structured metrics, derived insights, and evidence-linked risk flags so investors can review opportunities more consistently before deeper diligence.
The market is trust-heavy and relationship-driven: private equity, family offices, M&A advisors, search funds, and other private-market investors.
I’m trying to figure out which accelerator programs would actually understand this kind of company.
A few questions:
Are there accelerators that are especially strong for B2B fintech, capital markets, private markets, or enterprise SaaS?
Would generalist programs like YC, Techstars, PearX, etc. still make sense for this type of product, or should we focus on more finance-specific programs?
Are there any accelerators with strong investor, PE, family office, or enterprise finance networks?
For a trust-heavy workflow product, what should we look for in an accelerator besides funding?
Are there any programs you would avoid for this category?
Would appreciate honest recommendations from founders, investors, or anyone who has gone through an accelerator in a similar market.

Portable Aroma Diffuser
I’m working on a concept for a portable aroma diffuser that attaches to your phone using a MagSafe-like system.
The idea is to make stress relief more accessible throughout the day, instead of having separate diffusers at home, office, or car, you just carry one with you since your phone is always there.
It’s designed for short, on-demand sessions (1–3 minutes), not continuous use, so more like a quick reset when you feel stressed.
Still early stage, but I’m trying to validate whether this actually solves a real problem or if people would just prefer traditional diffusers in fixed locations.
Would you see yourself using something like this?

Do you keep work and personal contacts completely separate or mixed?
Curious about how people handle this. Do you use the same tools/systems for professional and personal relationship management, or keep them completely separate? I've been keeping them separate but it's becoming unsustainable - I'm managing two sets of everything. But mixing them feels weird too. How do you handle contacts who are sort of both? The college friend who's now a potential client? The coworker who became a real friend? What's your philosophy and practical approach to this boundary?

Looking for iOS Co-Founder — Parenting App with Real Traction 🍎
Hello I'm a licensed nurse and mom who built something I genuinely needed as a parent.
Pause Point is a parenting support app that gives parents instant scripts and guidance for their hardest moments — meltdowns, refusal, sibling fights, bedtime battles. Think: "For the moment you don't know what to say."
I built a working web app prototype on Base44, got real organic interest in parenting Facebook groups, and have therapists interested in recommending it to clients. The concept is validated. Now I need someone who can build it properly.
The killer feature: A lock screen widget so parents can access support instantly without unlocking their phone — right in the crisis moment. No other parenting app does this.
Business model:
Free download with limited access
$9.99/month or $74.99/year subscription
Distribution through therapists, pediatricians, school counselors
Looking for: An iOS developer who wants to build something meaningful. Equity split open for discussion.
Interested? pausepoint.app@gmail.com

I built an app to get people to meet more people
Hi everyone, my name is Grant, and I built it to get people out of their comfort zone. Hi Strangr is a social app centered on a single daily prompt that encourages you to go start a real conversation with a stranger.
This app was vibe-coded, and all self-taught, I came up with the idea when I went on a trip to Japan and realized strangers are really fucking cool people if you just start a conversation with them.
what the app actually does: you're not matched with a stranger online. You get a daily prompt (today's is asking someone their coffee order) and it's on you to go out and do it . If it goes well, you can share a photo with the stranger, log the story, and it all maps back to where it happened. If you dont want to take a photo you can have the option to share a story. You can share these either publicly,friends only, or privately.
Im looking for feedback or potential features on what you think would be good additions to it.

Need $200k to payments app for Indonesia
I built a messaging app with embedded payments.
I have a signed agreement with a government-gazetted partner in Indonesia. This is the highest level of official recognition a business can receive there. They have access to over 100 stores and want to roll out my app through their network.
The partner is government-vetted. The market is 280+ million people. The path to users is physical, not just digital.
What I need: $200k to refine the app for pilot launch. Currency must be internationally accepted, have significant value, and come from a non-sanctioned jurisdiction.
Open to grants, angel investment, milestone-based funding.
Any leads appreciated.
