Ask HN: What are you working on?

After spending 30 years in IT doing everything from coding to enterprise architecture, I quit the consulting world this year to get back to what I enjoy most: building.

I'm working on Brain Hurricane (brainhurricane.ai). It's the kind of structured tool I wish I'd had in my career. I was tired of unstructured brainstorming sessions that recycled the same ideas and the passive waiting for a "great idea" that never arrives.

My goal was to create a systematic process. It uses AI to help you generate ideas with proven methods like SCAMPER and Six Thinking Hats, then immediately analyze them with frameworks like SWOT, PESTEL, and the Business Model Canvas. It's about moving from a fuzzy concept to a validated idea with more confidence and clarity.

On a personal level, this project was my way of diving headfirst into modern AI development. I'm building it with Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and Linux, which has been a fun and humbling experience coming from a more traditional enterprise stack.

It's still early, but the core features are live. I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback from the HN community, especially from those who have struggled to turn abstract ideas into something concrete.

This is lazy but can you make your website a hyperlink? (Probably just add https:)

Good catch, thanks for the heads-up. The edit window closed on me, so I can't fix it in the original post.

Brain Hurricane sounds like a fantastic tool! I really appreciate how you're bringing structure to the brainstorming process with proven frameworks like SCAMPER and Six Thinking Hats. The integration with analysis frameworks like SWOT and PESTEL is brilliant because it immediately validates ideas rather than just generating them. Too often, brainstorming sessions feel productive in the moment but lead nowhere actionable.

Curious, since there are so many SaaS and tech founders here, how do you guys launch on Product Hunt? Would love to hear your playbook or any launch stories.
