I can start immediately!I’m Phil, a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-impact web applications across frontend and backend. I’ve spent my career shipping fast, solving real problems, and turning ideas into real products.
I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and everything required to take a product from prototype → production → scale. I love working where engineering, UX, and product meet — designing features, running growth experiments, and delivering end-to-end systems that actually move the needle.
I see my self as a product engineer as I love to take a problem and go from 0 to production! I take ownership!
I’ve built and launched 10+ products, mostly solo — sharpening my skills across engineering, UX, distribution, and growth. I love creating tools that are useful, weird, or just fun to build. Some of my projects include:
• InterestingBars.com – Unique bars around the world • puzzlepostcards.shop – Send a puzzle postcard • ReclaimDesk.com – Modern lost & found management • UseStockStore.com – Simple inventory management app • DumpIt.app – AI-powered audio note-taking • ChronaGraph – Simple graph workflows for AI • TallyTabby.com – Minimal counting app • QRFeedback.app – Instant customer feedback via a QR code • ShiftingTicTacToe.com – Real-time twist on a classic game • DecodeBodyLanguage.com – AI nonverbal insights

truetaurus | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Simple Graph Framework for Workflow Orchestration (LangGraph Alt.)
It is very much in its early stages. I was using langgraph and thought it was pretty cool but found it quite over complicated for my use cases. SO I decided to build a simple version.
Looking for any feedback!

I just launched my solo project: https://qrfeedback.app It’s a simple way to collect customer feedback through a QR code, helping businesses improve.
I’m eager to get it in front of users and would love any advice on quick, low-cost marketing tactics that have worked for others here. What strategies would you recommend to rapidly attract the right audience and start gathering feedback?
Any tips or insights would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Also highly appreciate any feedback!
Bonus: If you know anyone that runs small businesses such as restaurants, hotels, etc and you could show them it :)
