1. Show HN: Boardzilla, a framework for making web-based board games
URL: https://www.boardzilla.io/
Author: joshbuddy
Description: Show HN: Boardzilla, a framework for making web-based board games
Tldr: We’ve made a framework for web-based board games. You can try out some games over at https://boardzilla.io, or you can take a look at https://docs.boardzilla.io to learn more about how to develop your own game. Source is available at https://github.com/boardzilla
Hey y’all. My brother and I have made a framework for board games. During the pandemic we started to look at BGA but got discouraged by how old-fashioned the tools were and how cumbersome the development process was. We set out to make our own framework where you could use the same code for both the client and server. Our hope is anyone familiar with Typescript and CSS could code up a game without worrying about state management, persistence or networking.
It’s still very much a wip, and we're rapidly adding features and games. But we’ve got our first draft of developer docs done, and we've put up a few games we've developed to showcase and test out the platform. Source for the games and framework is available on Github, and we’re excited to code more games and hopefully encourage other people to try it out. Happy for any feedback.

3. Show HN: Phrasing – learn every language, to any level
URL: https://phrasing.app/playground
Author: barrell
Description: Hey there HN -
Today I'm sharing a demo of my our language learning tool, Phrasing. It's a tool born from the language acquisition hypothesis, too many hours in an anki slog, and a strange desire to always be learning obscure languages.
The method is simple:
1. type in a show
2. learn the most important words
3. watch the show/acquire the words
4. review the words when needed in the future.
On top of that, we're trying to:
- do some novel things with spaced repetition (no more anki slog)
- expand the sort of content you can learn from (I want to to refresh my French by reading The Stormlight Archive)
- make an insanely beautiful tool for all languages (I want to learn Sanskrit and Hawaiian and such)
I think we're off to a great start so far, and I'm happy to be able to share what we have already! We've taken some of our core features, and ripped them out to put them on a playground for HN to explore. There's so much more to come though, this is just the beginning.
I'll be here all day to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out and have a wonderful day <3
EDIT: This link was meant as a demo so hacker news has something to click around on (as per the rules of Show HN). The main marketing page can be found at https://phrasing.app/ - I think that's causing some confusion

7. Show HN: Submit your startup in 150 directories in 5 min
Author: mathisvella
Description: Back in November 2023, I faced a significant challenge with my AI startup. I was banking on Product Hunt to boost our visibility, but things didn't pan out as expected.
I quickly realized what was missing—a straightforward yet effective strategy to stand out: getting listed in directories.
That's when I developed QuickListing.
QuickListing simplifies the process of increasing online presence. It’s an automated tool that submits your startup to over 150 directories with just one entry.
It’s ideal for founders who need to maximize exposure, but have limited time and resources. QuickListing efficiently handles the directory submission process, ensuring your startup gains visibility and SEO benefits without the need for manual, repetitive tasks.

9. Show HN: Privacy-first cross platform spreadsheet pipeline app
Author: matrix1010
Description: In my previous role at a small startup, I frequently developed simple scripts to assist recruiters and marketing professionals in handling data processing tasks on Excel or CSV files.
These tasks were typically straightforward and repetitive, stemming from the periodic export of data. This experience sparked the idea to create a straightforward tool dedicated to such functionalities(also mobile friendly, as they occasionally need to process data on their smartphones).
There are powerful tools like Power Query and Tableau, but they often prove too complex for non-technical users to navigate effectively. Additionally, ETL tools that support CSV/XLSX formats often come with a high price. That's why I build Tablesmith, an easy-to-use and free spreadsheet automation tool that empowers anyone to automate their data-related tasks with ease.
Furthermore, I also include AI autofill capability, which I believe would be useful.

12. Show HN: A protocol for sharing knowledge via semantic lookup with use in LLMs
URL: https://github.com/BerenOfEdain/SemanticLookupProtocol
Author: BerenOfEdain
Description: A great way to enhance chatbots is to allow them to look up information for context, typically using a vectordb.
If you have writings you would like to share with others, you can offer a server that allows others to do semantic lookup, and that way anyone can have a chatbot which can pull from your writing.
The goal of this project is to have a protocol that makes that easy. Strictly speaking, the protocol is for semantic retrieval and doesn't require using LLMs although LLMs are the motivating application.
For far more details and how to get a demo up and running, see the readme.

18. Show HN: Fasten Health – open-source Personal Health Record – 27,000 providers
URL: https://www.fastenhealth.com
Author: analogj
Description: Hey HN!
About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic condition and I realized that my medical history (and the medical history of my family members) is a lot more complicated than I realized. I need a single, private location to store our medical records, and I just couldn't find any software that worked as I'd like:
- self-hosted/offline - this is my medical history, I'm not willing to give it to some random multi-national corporation to data-mine and sell
- It should aggregate my data from multiple healthcare providers (insurance companies, hospital networks, clinics, labs) that I've used over my career/lifetime.
- automatic - it should pull my EMR (electronic medical record) directly from my insurance provider/clinic/hospital network - I don't want to scan/OCR physical documents (unless I have to)
- open source - the code should be available for contributions & auditing
So, I built it
Fasten Health is an open-source, privacy-first, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator, designed to integrate with 100,000's of insurance companies, healthcare providers and laboratories. It securely connects patient healthcare providers together, creating a personal health record that never leaves the patient's hands without their consent.
Fasten Health recently released v1 of our software and our desktop app was finally published in the App Store!
Your feedback & support would be incredibly helpful :)

19. Show HN: Hacker News AI
URL: https://hn.aidev.run
Author: bediashpreet
Description: Hi HN, I built an AI that can interact with the Hacker News API and answer questions about stories, users, whats trending, what on show etc..
Check it out at: https://hn.aidev.run
You can ask questions like:
- Tell me about the user pg
- What's on hackernews about AI?
- What's on hackernews about iPhone?
- What's trending on hackernews?
- What are users showing on hackernews?
- What are users asking on hackernews?
- Summarize this story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39156778
It uses function calling to query the HN api.
To answer questions about a particular topic, it’ll search its knowledge base (a vector db that is periodically updated with the “top stories”) and get details about those stories from the API.
If you give it a try, I’d love your feedback on how I can improve it.
If you’re interested, I built this using phidata: https://github.com/phidatahq/phidata

Description: Hi HN,
Because I love to learn I've always felt like I'm wasting time on social apps. On X, for me there's too much noise/clickbait versus helpful learning content.
I've built a site where you get a feed of educational Q&As organised by topics and across fields like tech, science, design.
I'm onboarding creators at the moment who answer new Qs asynchronously in video, audio or text.
Jason Fried/37signals was cool with me posting his X Q&As to show how it works.
Let me know if you have any thoughts about what is good/bad and how it could be a better experience.
Thanks

URL: https://github.com/saketh12/Auto1111SDK
Author: thaiberry
Description: Introducing auto1111sdk, a python package that encapsulates all the main features of the Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion WebUI.
pip install auto1111sdk
https://github.com/saketh12/Auto1111SDK
Why we built this, what you can do with it right now, and where we plan to go below:
Why we built this:
As a developer using stable diffusion, you’ve probably used HuggingFace’s diffusers library. However, it just doesn’t make sense to use diffusers when the “gold standard” tool for stable diffusion is Automatic1111’s Stable Diffusion Web UI.
We detail some limitations of diffusers here: https://flush-ai.gitbook.io/automatic-1111-sdk/auto-1111-sdk...
What you can do with it right now:
- Text-to-Image, Image-to-Image, Inpainting, and Outpainting pipelines.
- Upscaling pipelines for ESRGAN and Real-ESRGAN
- Download & run safetensor model files from Civitai
Where we plan to go:
We’re an open source project, and we intend to remain this way. Our next step is to add support for Stable Diffusion XL, Lora’s, and Dreambooth finetuning. We welcome all contributors!
In the meantime, check out our docs and join our discord.

34. Show HN: Simple mathematic syntactic sugars for Ruby
URL: https://github.com/dalthon/math_symbols
Author: daltonpinto
Description: While writing code with a lot of hard to read math functions, as a joke I wrote this:
π = Math::PI
And after using this tiny substitution, my code became way more readable.So, for fun, I felt the urge to add many more mathematical symbols to be able to write a Fourier series like:
a0 + (1..n).∑ { |n| a[n]sin(2πnx/p) + b[n]cos(2πnx/p) }
So I continued doing this and added support for ∀, ∃, ∄ in Enumerable, even without immediate use, and kept going adding more stuff.This became this simple gem, that could be used either as refinement or monkey patch.
So I started to wonder if this wouldn't be useful to anyone else besides being a joke.
Being used at a script that only me (and possibly my wife) would read may be fun but pointless.
Assuming that in most cases code is read a few more times than written, it would make sense to take advantage of the possibilities of other Unicode characters to write mathematical functions and this joke could be useful.
What do you think?
(BTW, I also did this to play with static typing and refinements in Ruby and got a bit frustrated for the lack of support having to duplicate a lot of code. Tips and advices would be very appreciated)

37. Show HN: Oasis, the community tech collective building an advocacy flywheel
Author: jdbohrman
Description: Hey everyone, I wanted to share the project I recently launched called Oasis, which is a community-driven tech collective with the focus of driving social advocacy by creating a self-sustaining flywheel of open-core projects that feeds into our various social advocacy initiatives. The governance is set up much like Open AI, where Oasis is the non-profit that handles the social advocacy and acts as an umbrella for the various OSS projects, and we have a collective structure of contribution with shared ownership so everyone who is working on a project, while it being OSS, gets to share in the financial success.
We're 100% community driven, and anyone can join the Slack workspace now and contribute to any of the repos, but to actually be an "owner" we do require a $200/yr membership fee to help offset operational costs of adding users. All the projects we work on are thoroughly researched for profit potential and technology stack, and currently the angle we've been focusing on a lot of finding closed-source software and essentially ripping their features out into open-core versions. Tangentially, if you have a software you'd love to see a open-core version of then add a comment in here for sure. We're mainly been playing with simple CRUD apps but should the collective grow there's potential for other types of projects.

41. Show HN: A platform to host AI/ML models for clinical medicine
URL: https://www.clinicalmodels.io
Author: swizzle36
Description: Hi HN,
While completing my PhD in biostatistics where I worked with clinical datasets from Alzheimer's Disease, I always received great feedback when I made an interactive visualization for my ML or statistics models and included a link in the journal article. Therefore, I decided to make a platform called clinicalmodels.io where you simply upload a fitted R or Python model and then near-automatically get an interactive visualization.
An example model is here for everyone to try out: https://clinicalmodels.io/nickcullen31/mixed-effects-model
The idea of this platform is to fill a niche in hosting of diagnostic and prognostic models for medicine, and to be a place where AI/ML experts can come to get more clinical knowledge in order to build more relevant and impactful models. I also hope that by focusing on model sharing rather than data sharing, we can avoid data privacy issues and thereby increase collaboration within the medical community.
I would love to hear any feedback from the community on what may be missing in the model hosting space - specifically models with a clinical medicine focus.

43. Show HN: Supadash – an AI-generated dashboard to visualize your database data
Author: mattiapomelli
Description: Hey everyone! I’m Mattia. I’m building Supadash (https://www.supadash.co/), a tool that uses AI to generate a dashboard to visualize your database data. It’s like Retool only you don’t have to build charts but AI does it for you.
While working on other projects, I found myself spending a lot of time making dashboards to visualize my apps’ data. I tried many tools like Retool but generally didn’t love the UX: I had to write SQL queries, retrieve the data in a specific format, and repeat the process for every single chart.
It was kinda tedious and time-consuming, so I thought that using AI could make this process much more efficient.
From there, I decided to build Supadash, with the focus on making it super easy and quick to get a dashboard for your app. You just need to connect your database and AI will generate charts to visualize your data in a few seconds.
So far, it has helped me to save a lot of time building my own dashboards.
Today I’m launching the “AI-generated dashboards” feature (so far the process was still sort of manual) and I’d love to hear your suggestions or feedback.
You can try it and watch a demo here https://www.supadash.co/ and let me know what you think!

Author: dzdddeyyy
Description: The problem: when moving to a new city you end up spending hours comparing possible new addresses. This is especially time-consuming when you move a lot.
Much of that time is spent researching the best areas and making sure that the right services are nearby.
Solution: one place to check areas and compare addresses based on nearby services.
Workflow:
1. Check the best areas recommended based on the density of highly rated businesses.
2. Compare addresses based on proximity to businesses.
