Profile

Like many devs, I often open YouTube to look up a tutorial. Instead, I land on the homepage—shorts, drama, randomness—and lose 20 minutes before I even type a search.So I built FocusTube: a minimal search interface that skips YouTube’s homepage and drops you straight into search results.At first, I was building it out like a full product—login system, access control, gated content. But integrating Stripe, Microsoft B2C took to long as my evening hours were not sufficient. I paused and asked: what’s the real problem? And how can I validate it quickly without overbuilding?So I removed the gate, and now I just email the working search link using Zapier after someone buys support through BuyMeAC

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.
