Show HN: Continuum – Financial simulations for DIY multimillionaires

https://continuum-app.xyz/
2•charleswcho•37m ago
Hey HN, I'm Charles, the solo founder of Continuum (https://continuum-app.xyz/).

Continuum is a financial planning web app for people with 1-15M. It helps you create simulations of job offers, house purchases, and life events. Its goal is to replace human advisors that cost thousands, or even worse, take AUM fees of 1%.

The MVP includes AI voice onboarding, scenario and mural creation, and 4 modules. The simulation math engine is code to ensure determinism. The LLMs don't do any simulation math.

Demo: https://youtu.be/EDUK26Rs0cE?si=hCSdgSDkgKJt3Ni2

The biggest technical challenge has been tuning the mural generation not to hallucinate. Lot's of weird bugs!

The most fun part has been playing with the founder equity offers. I've modeled paper, expected value, and median exits (0).

Me: Senior software engineer @Google with 10 YOE. 5 YOE at startups before joining Google. Excited to be building fast again!

Looking for 10 design partners to help shape the product + roadmap. I'll be happy to give you a demo and onboard you. 50% off the first year + VIP support.

No account required for the free version. There is also a 14 day Pro trial. I will give as many demos and onboard as many users as I can.

Reach out to charles@continuum-app.xyz

> Honest pricing.

compared to what exactly? did you even proof the website copy or just take what the model spit out wholesale?

charleswcho•21m ago
Fair criticism. I'm very new to marketing and writing copy I admit I lean too much on the models. I'll do a pass at writing the copy myself.

maybe back in the day imperfections showed a lack of polish and professionalism. we are entering the era of wabi-sabi where you want to show that care was taken by signaling it was crafted by a human. you're not going to stand out by looking like every other LLM generated website.

True, marketing is a very important new skill I'm learning. I've been in the classic engineer pitfall of working on the product for 3 months without launching.
