Show HN: A Product Commercialization Framework for Solo Developers
Most solo developers spend 90% of their time writing code and 10% on everything else. After a few years of building indie products — some failures, a couple that found traction — I've tried to document the framework I wish I'd had earlier.The framework has four phases: clarify, build, grow, monetize. None of it is novel. The value is in applying it in order, because most failures happen when you skip the first phase and go straight to the second.Clarify first. Before writing code: who

Think of it as a precise ignition seq

Show HN: Legal RAG Bench
