Oku
Turn scattered feeds into one calm, focused board
About
Oku lets you build one or more custom boards made of modular panels. Each panel is a source stream you choose, such as Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt, Google Trends, RSS feeds, YouTube, Polymarket, podcasts, newsletters, stocks, crypto, and other web-driven signals. Instead of jumping between apps, tabs, and algorithms, you create a single workspace where your important sources are visible, structured, and easy to scan.
What makes Oku different is control and clarity. You decide what appears, how panels are arranged, and which signals matter. The interface is designed for fast review: open a board, scan your streams, save high-value items, and move on. For deeper reading, Oku includes a cleaner reading experience with support for highlights and notes, so it works both as a discovery tool and a knowledge capture tool.
Oku also includes automation and summarization features to reduce information load. You can receive digests (daily and weekly), so you do not need to manually monitor every stream all day. On supported plans, Oku can generate concise summaries for long content so you can prioritize what to read in full. Saved items and board organization keep your signal persistent, so useful discoveries do not disappear into timeline churn. For teams and creators of complex information workflows,
Oku scales from simple setup to advanced customization. You can start with a lightweight board and evolve into multiple specialized boards for topics like market intelligence, product trends, research, or niche communities. In short, Oku is built to replace fragmented feed consumption with a calm, intentional, and high-signal workflow.

When I first shipped my product I hosted it on a site called Heroku and the first person I gave it to they got an application error but they still managed to use some of the core features and were able to still use the app. Yes there were bugs. Yes there were issues but the main idea of the app was working. So as long as what you're trying to solve works I think you can ship anything.
Ship a Broken MVP Immediately If the Core Feature Actually Works
Sam built his first MVP in a week by copy-pasting AI-generated code into VS Code with zero prior technical knowledge. Despite the product throwing an application error on the very first user interaction, that user still extracted value from it. This formed his core shipping philosophy: polish is secondary to solving the pain point.
I think for both apps really what we're selling was confidence
Extrapolate the Deeper Desire Your App Fulfills and Sell That Instead
Kishi noted that both Social Wizard and Clean Eats were fundamentally selling confidence, not features. Understanding the emotional outcome — not the functional description — is what drives conversions. He reframed a nutrition app as a skincare tool and immediately unlocked a more motivated audience.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
