Hi BFE devs! Quick intro: I'm a front-end dev (React/TypeScript/Next.js) who kept losing entire evenings to "which AI tool should I use" threads - ten open tabs, conflicting reviews, no side-by-side comparisons. So I built the thing I wanted: <a href="https://waypointo.com/">WayPointo</a>, a high-signal directory for AI and creative products where you can compare alternatives and decide faster.
Three things the build taught me:
<ul>
<li>Curation is the feature. The value isn't listing every tool - it's leaving most of them out.</li>
<li>Comparison beats discovery. People don't want more options, they want fewer, clearer ones.</li>
<li>Launching is scary and necessary. We launched Oct 31 and I'm still polishing the compare view weekly.</li>
</ul>
The hard problems were all data, not UI: normalizing categories, deduplicating screenshots, keeping pricing info honest. If you've built anything in the tools-discovery space, I'd love to swap notes. And if you're shipping an AI or creative tool yourself, listing takes a few minutes.
Happy to answer anything about the stack!Basic Markdown and Shaku syntax are support!
<pre class="shiki github-dark shaku"><code>import { useState } from 'react';export default function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0);<div class="shaku-underline shaku-underline-wavy" style="left:16ch">~~~~~~~~</div> // This // is // Comment function handleClick() { setCount(count + 1);<div class="shaku-underline shaku-underline-solid" style="left:4ch">-------------------</div><div class="shaku-callout" style="left:4ch">Underline and callout!</div> } const blog = "https://jser.dev" console.log('jser.dev') return ( &lt;button onClick={handleClick}&gt;<div class="shaku-callout" style="left:8ch">Supports JSXAwesome,right?</div> You pressed me {count} times &lt;/button&gt; );}</code></pre>

Front-end dev here - I launched WayPointo, a directory for comparing AI and creative tools

It's a good idea to prepare a short self-introduction, not only for interview but also for other social purposes.…
