Restryde Some fun and surprise!
I joined in on Hackwithus and Restryde is currently sitting in 3rd place on the Tiun x Microlaunch hackathon leaderboard. Mostly I’m more excited to be building alongside other builders, getting some experience/feedback on the product and just having a good time. If you’ve got a minute and want to support an indie build, every vote helps. Link’s below if you want to check it out. https://www.hackwithus.dev/?flow=leaderboard&entry=restryde&ref=hackathon-support ———————————————————— Something I didn’t expect this early in building Restryde… I recently noticed several automated-looking signup attempts probing the app. They didn’t get through — the security boundaries worked as intended — but it did reveal a couple of things I wanted to tighten up. So I patched them. Honestly, I never expected a product this early in its journey to attract this kind of attention. It’s a strange feeling seeing someone actually trying to find a way into something you’ve spent months building. But I’m glad it happened now rather than after having hundreds of businesses relying on it. No breach. No customer data exposed. Just a useful early warning and a stronger Restryde because of it. #Security #OnlineSafety
Huge congrats on hitting 3rd place on the leaderboard with Restryde! And honestly, catching those automated probing attempts early is a blessing in disguise—proves the security boundaries are holding up while giving you a chance to patch things before scale. Keep crushing it!
This is a great early lesson, Lachlan. Automated probing usually shows up well before real users do — the fact that your security boundaries held and you patched the gaps now rather than after scale is exactly the right sequence. It's also the part I find most interesting about early products: the first "attackers" are often the ones that teach you what real users will eventually need. Nice hackathon run too — 3rd place is solid. Good luck with the votes!
