Heuristic estimate (AI scoring not configured). Remembering Bob Lee shows 2,090 engagement on askhn. Buildability is inferred from the description; add an AI gateway key for a tailored read.

Deliver it

A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.

Build a minimal version of "Remembering Bob Lee". Read the original at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35457341 for the exact requirements, then scaffold a Next.js + Tailwind app, implement the smallest valuable slice first, and ship it. (Enable AI scoring for a tailored, detailed prompt.)

How you'd build it

1Open the project and list its 3-5 core user-facing features.
2Scaffold a Next.js + AI Gateway app and rebuild the smallest valuable slice first.
3Wire any external data/APIs it depends on; stub what you can't access.
4Ship a thin public version and measure whether the demand signal reproduces.

Risks & moats

Traction may be launch-day spike rather than durable demand.
Heuristic scoring can't judge true novelty or competition — verify manually.

Original context

I want to draw attention to Bob Lee, a well-respected technologist and prototype hacker, always curious and sharing lots of interesting technical developments. He was a great role model for how Engineers should be respected in an executive capacity as he advanced his career from 'Software' to 'Product'. His efforts contributed to technology used by millions. What happened to him is tragic and wrong; he deserved better. Thank you, I'll miss you 'crazybob'. Please share your stories featuring Bob Lee, who I'm sure would like to be remembered for his contributions rather than as a victim of this unfortunate awful event.
