chelm | 10 days ago | on: I charge for a single-file web app I can't protect from piracy

I can say I am pleased to see that!

I did something similar with it. It addresses the pain points of typical real estate owners (landlords and tenants). https://der-walter.de/

On Google, the game I made is more trending than the tools.

I think the monetization is still unresolved.

I did some experiments with the File System Access API. So users can select a folder, work in it via the web app, and just leave.

chelm | 3 months ago | on: Show HN: Free SEO Image Generator WordPress Plugin – Rule Based and Zero AI

I just made it for my blog and added a few templates in https://github.com/atraining/featured-image-generator-wordpr.... Perhaps someone wants to create images faster and directly add relevant alt text and correctly named media files to the WordPress media library, too.

chelm | 3 months ago | on: Green AI – Do you care?

I wrote an article and would be interested if you think it's a must have or just another hype topic.

Tools like https://mlco2.github.io/codecarbon/ or https://developers.thegreenwebfoundation.org/co2js/tutorials... might provide a staring point.

Cool work! I did not yet add vendors that generate “synthetic data” or collect documents to my list. If you like, create a PR, I'll merge it. https://idp-software.com/contribution/

chelm | 9 months ago | on: What's working for YC companies since the AI boom

Adding 4 hypotheses to the dicussion.

B2B opportunities are inherently easier to identify during early-stage evaluations due to clearer revenue models and problem-solution alignment.

YC’s network amplifies B2B growth by directly connecting startups to other batch companies as potential early adopters or customers. I found it interesting that https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/legora (former Leya) is using Reducto. If I get page 9 in the pitch deck correct: https://www.pitchdeckinspo.com/deck/Reducto_02c1f2af-3fa2-4a...

Early-stage B2B startups require less capital and shorter timelines to demonstrate product-market fit compared to B2C.

YC’s founder archetype—technical, execution-driven, and efficiency-focused - naturally gravitates toward building scalable B2B solutions.

Thanks for pointing out Reducto! I added it to my market overview: https://idp-software.com/vendors/reducto-ai/

TLDR

The IDP market remains a massive and growing space. There will be a new segment of the market for simple cases that do not need domain expertise, validation, and integration. Generic Document AI tools, so-called AI wrapper, provide easy wins for basic input extraction / categorization and splitting tasks.

Operational complexity, on-premises, integrating directly with enterprise infrastructure and domain-specific validation across fields mean different workflows require specialized handling. I think this is why Hyland, Abbyy and others can compete with the market, event the tech stack lagging.
