●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem

Cuts through dense regulation with a 60-second triage quiz, no signup required.

Strengths

•Genuinely addresses a real friction point — EU AI Act text is notoriously hard to navigate; this distills it to actionable risk bands.
•No dependencies, no tracking, no email friction — static HTML keeps barrier to use absurdly low.
•Integrates three useful layers (quiz + news feed + Reddit validation + regulation explorer) without overwhelming; information hierarchy is thoughtful.

Weaknesses

•Narrow audience — only applies to teams shipping AI to EU; outside that, this is a reference document, not a tool.
•5-question quiz may oversimplify genuinely complex obligation tiers; teams needing real legal certainty will need actual legal review regardless.

Post Description

The EU AI Act main obligations kick in August 2, 2026. If you ship AI products that touch EU users, you probably need to figure out your risk tier.

I found the official text hard to navigate, so I built a 5-question self-check that sorts you into a risk band and points you to the relevant articles. The whole thing is a static HTML page with no dependencies -- source is plain JS, no framework.

A few things it does beyond the quiz:

- News feed tracking official EC announcements - Reddit community questions matched against official regulation text - Chapter-by-chapter explorer with direct links

No email, no login, no tracking beyond basic pageviews.

Curious if others here have started thinking about AI Act compliance, and what parts are confusing. The GPAI obligations section in particular seems to trip people up.

Radar – Automated vulnerability scanning for SMBs (free in beta)

Verifying ownership with a DNS TXT record and spinning up ephemeral Cloud Run jobs to produce a PDF report in under an hour is a pragmatic approach — cheap to operate and low-friction for SMBs. It's explicitly automated (no manual pentest), which keeps expectations honest, but the market already has mature scanners and few standout differentiators here beyond pricing and convenience; continuous monitoring, remediation guidance or integrations would make it much more compelling.
