Building ideasurf

Ideasurf is a platform that helps you generate ideas for your startup. The core idea was to eliminate the friction between different tools and create a unified interface that understands natural language commands and finds all the projects on the internet similar to your idea.

Honestly had a great time building this project, the basic workflow is to scrape YC, A16z, etc - seed database with project vector embeddings - query database with your idea - get similar ideas!

• Next.js
• FastAPI
• Selenium
• TypeScript
• SupaBase
• Vercel
• OpenAI Embeddings

In the future I plan to scrape more sources like Crunchbase, PitchBook, and other startup databases to get a more comprehensive list of ideas. I also plan to add user voting & ranking to the ideas to help prioritize the most popular ideas.
