Show HN: Coherence, the developer platform to end yak-shaving
Hey HN! I’m Zach, from Coherence (https://www.withcoherence.com/). We’re building software that provides an integrated way to write, preview, and deploy code from one simple configuration. Check out our explainer video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2YHVx8QsLg and a high level demo here: https://www.loom.com/share/072c2afd1099496298f69ab21fdf2820<p>We started Coherence because we found technology teams spent 30-40% of their time yak shaving and writing glue code, instead of building products our customers love. We don’t think every team should have to build their own internal development platform, so we’re building the software we’d want to buy. Following the example of other great products like Replit, our toolkit is based on integration across the stages of an app’s lifecycle - from dev to production.<p>Coherence provides one integrated dashboard with cloud development environments, automatic CI/CD, and full-stack environments for each branch (as well as production), all with one simple configuration. A developer can write, test, review, and deploy code from one interface with best practices built in. Devs are intuitively navigated to their own cloud resources when needed, eliminating time spent searching consoles for every log, metric, or configuration setting you might need. We currently support containerized full-stack web apps on AWS and Google Cloud. Unlike the PaaS category defined by Heroku, our goal is to help teams leverage the platforms provided by the best cloud providers, keeping the benefits of running in your own cloud account: unlimited extensibility, cost savings, compliance with audit requirements, and freedom to easily exit our platform without an impact to your systems.<p>You can play around with a Coherence sandbox and get a taste of the developer experience at app.withcoherence.com/sandbox. If you like what you can see, you can also deploy an app into your AWS or GCP with one of our starter templates for a new project: app.withcoherence.com. We’re happy to support onboarding on a call or via Slack and we’d love to discuss what it would look like to migrate one of your existing apps to Coherence. We’re excited to get your feedback, so please feel free to drop us a note at hn@withcoherence.com

Show HN: I unlocked reaching 10.000 real potential customers as low cost as $50
As a founder without an audience, building great products is no longer enough.<p>It is difficult to find first paying users, grow, and discover where and how to reach them. You have to find the right people through the noise.<p>As a founder who likes to break the rules, I discovered a method.
I unlocked reaching 10.000+ real potential customers as low cost as $50 with 90% successful targeting.<p>Solution: Twitter custom audience lists.
This is the Holy Grail.
you can turn it into a lead generating machine by using custom audience list.<p>Twitter lets you use lists to target.
But there is more important. For this, it does not ask for private information such as e-mail. Only twitter handles (i.e. usernames)
You just need to have a list where you have Twitter handles.<p>If you are willing to take some time, collect the handles (usernames) of your potential customers.
Or use our createtargetaudience.com tool, which searches and lists according to job title or interest written in the profile bio.<p>E.g;
If you have a product for developers, list the people who write developer, software in their profile.
If you have a web3 or NFT community, people who write web3, NFT on their profile.<p>or marketers, designers, founders, no-coders, investors, SaaS, etc.
You can get your list in CSV format.<p>By uploading your list to Twitter ads, you target only the people you want. So no wasted. And you know who you're showing the ad to. � successful targeting.<p>You will be surprised at the engagement and conversion rate with very low costs. (over 30% for me)
Cost = €5 / $6.5 per 1000 impressions.
You can know how much you will spend based on the size of your list.<p>If your target audience includes a job title or interest, it's worth a try.

Show HN: Earn 9.62% on US Treasury I Bonds on Yotta
Hey all<p>My name is Adam, and I’m a co-founder at Yotta (YC S20), an app that uses behavioral psychology to help people save money by making saving exciting.<p>We built a feature on Yotta where you can earn 9.62% APY via US Treasury I Bonds. (https://www.withyotta.com/i-bonds)<p>This is an absurd yield for a security that is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government - the strongest guarantee you can get. For comparison, most high-yield savings accounts with FDIC coverage are paying ~2%.<p>The backstory:<p>I Bonds were established by the US Treasury in 1998 to provide returns linked to inflation to protect consumer purchasing power. The rate on I Bonds is determined from the last six months of CPI data and is adjusted twice per year. Inflation is typically around 2% per year, so I Bonds have never been relevant since the rate was never that attractive.<p>Inflation spiked in 2022 driving I Bonds reached a record high yield of 9.62% APY. If you buy them by October 31st, you lock in this rate for six months from the purchase date. In the last 12 months, around $27B has been deposited as a result of the insanely high yield. This compares to $348m in 2020. Note that you have to hold I Bonds for at least a year and you forgo 3 the last three months of earned interest if you redeem before five years. You can deposit a max of $10k into I Bonds per calendar year.<p>So if you can get 9.62% APY on a government backed security when savings accounts are yielding 2%, why doesn’t everyone have I Bonds?<p>A few reasons.<p>1. Most people have never heard of them.<p>2. People don’t want to tie up cash for a year in a CD-like product.<p>3. The only way to buy I Bonds has been on the world’s worst website, Treasury Direct. You have to fill out long forms, click on a virtual keyboard to type your password, can’t use the back button, and make one mistake and you get locked out of your account. The whole thing is a colossal pain in the ass.<p>To solve 1) and 3), we wrapped an easy-to-use UI to buy I Bonds within Yotta. Users opt into Yotta creating a Treasury Direct account on their behalf, and we automate the painful part - interacting with Treasury Direct on the backend. This enables us to provide a great customer experience, making it easy for people to get the 9.62%. If anyone wants to control their Treasury Direct directly without Yotta, they can request it, and we will transfer over their account to no longer be managed by Yotta.<p>Hope you guys check it out and can take advantage of the 9.62% rate before 10/31! Note that if you already have a Treasury Direct account, we are unable to support you for I Bonds unfortunately.<p>Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to any feedback.<p>P.S. We were featured in Bloomberg for the launch last week if you want to check that out https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-28/buying-i-bonds-there-s-an-easier-way-to-earn-9-62-interest
