Launching Hakkle – an AI project coach for developers

Hi everyone 👋

I'm building Hakkle, an AI project coach designed for developers building side projects, SaaS products, or learning projects.

Over the past year I've been using AI constantly, and I noticed something surprising: writing code stopped being the hardest part.

The real bottleneck became deciding:

  • What should I build next?

  • Is my MVP already too big?

  • Am I solving the right problem?

  • Should I refactor now or later?

  • Is this architecture good enough?

Current AI tools are excellent at generating code, but they don't help much with the decisions that happen before you start coding.

That's the problem Hakkle is trying to solve.

Instead of acting like another coding assistant, it helps you:

  • turn vague ideas into an actionable plan,

  • prioritize features,

  • review technical decisions,

  • think through architecture trade-offs,

  • run weekly project reviews,

  • keep a decision log so you remember why something was built.

I'm currently validating the idea with early users before building the full MVP.

I'd really love your feedback:

  • Does this solve a problem you've experienced?

  • What's the hardest decision you face while building your projects?

  • Would you use something like this, or do you already have a workflow that works well?

You can check it out here: https://gohakkle.com

Thanks! I'm happy to answer any questions and would appreciate any honest feedback—even if your conclusion is "I wouldn't use this." That kind of feedback is just as valuable.

    I really like the idea behind Hakkle. AI has made implementation much easier, but product decisions are still where most builders get stuck.

    Joined the waitlist and looking forward to testing it. One thing I'm especially curious about is how Hakkle differentiates itself from using ChatGPT or Claude for product guidance. Excited to find out when I get access. Good luck with the launch! 🚀

    The weekly project review caught my attention.

    Individual decisions are easy to ask an AI about. The harder thing is noticing when several individually reasonable decisions have slowly pushed the project away from what you originally meant to build.

    A recurring review could surface that drift before another month of work gets built on top of it.
