3. Show HN: An open-source reverse proxy that authenticates users
URL: https://github.com/stack-auth/auth-proxy
Author: n2d4
Description: auth-proxy is a minimal HTTP reverse proxy that shows login pages on protected pages, and passes user information in headers. My goal was to build something that’s as flexible as possible and can add auth to any existing infrastructure.
It’s pretty straightforward to use, after setting up Stack Auth (which this is based on) you can use the Docker container to proxy port 3000 to 3001:
If you now go to http://localhost:3001/handler/sign-in, you will see a log-in page.docker run -it
-e NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PROJECT_ID=<project-id>
-e NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PUBLISHABLE_CLIENT_KEY=<client-key>
-e STACK_SECRET_SERVER_KEY=<server-key>
-e SERVER_PORT=3000
-e PROXY_PORT=3001
-p 3001:3001
stackauth/auth-proxy:latest <protected-page-patterns>
Once you’re authenticated, every request to your HTTP server will have the following extra headers:
- x-stack-authenticated (“true” if authenticated; not present otherwise)
- x-stack-user-id
- x-stack-user-primary-email
- x-stack-user-display-name
If you’re building an SPA or client-side app, you can also fetch the current authentication status on /handler/me:
This is all still pretty hacky, but I’d love to hear your feedback. Any cool ideas on what to build?{ “user”: { “id”: ”…”, “primary_email”: “[email protected]”, “display_name”: “John Doe” }, “authenticated”: true }
PS: Big props to fellow HN user rudasn who brought it up first, and who gave us plenty of ideas after another Hacker News thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195470

5. Show HN: Build Apps via Voice
URL: https://www.tiram.ai
Author: sganesh
Description: TiramAi - Beta - We have built an app that is now available both on App Store & Play Store that allows non-technical users to build web apps, mobile apps and logic apps as it seems fit by generating user stories and personas. Can be refined as many times. For web apps, the code gets generated in html, cs, JavaScript for the frontend and uses firebase as the db. For mobile app, flutter code gets generated and it takes us a day or so to get it out into test flight or beta testing, due to the app distribution hurdle. Logic apps use c# minimal api and gets deployed on Azure / Google. Exporting of User stories is behind a paywall. We are still fine tuning the code output for all the apps. You can provide feedback within the app as well by shaking the device. Any input / feedback / thoughts are appreciated.

6. Show HN: I am slowly building a mobile epic RTS game with 10k ships
URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/galactic-admirals/id6480380895
Author: realmcqueen
Description: Here we go, another indie game dev story haha.
I’ve been a gamer for as long as I can remember, always dreaming of making my own games one day. Life got in the way for a long time, but now I’ve finally had the chance to create Galactic Admirals (https://www.galacticadmirals.com), my love letter to the RTS genre, the promise of mobile gaming with a retro minimalist touch. I goal is to put 10,000 playable ships on the screen.
Inspired by my love of games, movies, anime, and novels about naval warfare, space, and strategy, this game is something I’ve dreamt about for a long time. The current version of the game available is just the first step. Rather than building something massive, complicated, and something no one wants to play, I am focused on building in steps.
Focus for now is getting the core gameplay right; so I am building fast and slowly lol, keeping it small on purpose, shipping it quickly so I can expand it piece by piece, learning and improving along the way. With each update, I aim to refine and expand the game, learning from your feedback every step of the way.
I hope you’ll give Galactic Admirals a try and share your honest feedback.
P.S. I am going to blog along the way. I think the cool kids call it buildingitinpublic =). https://galacticadmirals.com/#developer-blog

10. Show HN: Stride – local-first Markdown-based engineering calcs and documentation
URL: https://www.get-stride.com/
Author: weikequ_
Description: Hey everyone, I’m Weike, one of the founders of Stride, a more modern technical documentation + calculation software for engineers and other calculation-driven professionals.
I worked as a structural engineer before and have always found the tools to create calculations (Excel and Mathcad mainly) to be unintuitive, terrible at communicating the intent of the calcs, and hard to integrate with my other tools.
Honestly lots of it was just doing stuff on Excel, then screenshottinng it, and then putting it in a PDF document.
Years later, I worked as a software engineer and saw all the fantastic tooling available (vscode extensions, version control, pull requests, commit histories, etc) and saw a really big parallel between code and calcs.
Stride is our attempt at bringing some of that tooling to traditional engineering. Our V1 currently is just being able to do dynamic calculations in a clear format with a robust units handling system, with version control/small reviews as well as an extensions platform following later.
More than happy to answer any questions here!

13. Show HN: Hacktrack.info – Email Notifications for New CVEs Affecting Your Stack
Author: cardz
Description: I’ve been working part-time on https://hacktrack.info, a SaaS that alerts you when new CVEs or exploits are published for the software you use. By subscribing to assets in the CVE database, you’ll receive email notifications whenever a new vulnerability or exploit is released that impacts your stack.
Alongside notifications, we provide users with an AI-generated analysis of each CVE, including potential impact and recommended mitigation steps, helping you understand the severity and take action faster.
The idea came to me while working on an incident response team, where I noticed that many companies were hacked due to using software versions affected by recently published CVEs or exploits.

16. Show HN: Arch – an intelligent prompt gateway built on Envoy
URL: https://github.com/katanemo/arch
Author: adilhafeez
Description: Hi HN! My name is Adil Hafeez, and I am the Co-Founder at Katanemo and the lead developer behind Arch - an open source project for developers to build faster, generative AI apps. Previously I worked on Envoy at Lyft.
Engineered with purpose-built LLMs, Arch handles the critical but undifferentiated tasks related to the handling and processing of prompts, including detecting and rejecting jailbreak attempts, intelligently calling “backend” APIs to fulfill the user’s request represented in a prompt, routing to and offering disaster recovery between upstream LLMs, and managing the observability of prompts and LLM interactions in a centralized way - all outside business logic.
Here are some additional key details of the project,
* Built on top of Envoy and is written in rust. It runs alongside application servers, and uses Envoy’s proven HTTP management and scalability features to handle traffic related to prompts and LLMs.
* Function calling for fast agentic and RAG apps. Engineered with purpose-built fast LLMs to handle fast, cost-effective, and accurate prompt-based tasks like function/API calling, and parameter extraction from prompts.
* Prompt guardrails to prevent jailbreak attempts and ensure safe user interactions without writing a single line of code.
* Manages LLM calls, offering smart retries, automatic cutover, and resilient upstream connections for continuous availability.
* Uses the W3C Trace Context standard to enable complete request tracing across applications, ensuring compatibility with observability tools, and provides metrics to monitor latency, token usage, and error rates, helping optimize AI application performance.
This is our first release, and would love to build alongside the community. We are just getting started on reinventing what we could do at the networking layer for prompts.
Do check it out on GitHub at https://github.com/katanemo/arch/.
Please leave a comment or feedback here and I will be happy to answer.

Author: zh2408
Description: The problem I’m solving is that moving customer information into new systems when setting up accounts is usually slow and full of mistakes, which frustrates everyone involved.
I happened to have a research project on general data transformation. So I built a quick demo to tackle this issue.
The demo uses Claude 3.5 and a prompt framework to transform customer CSV files into your application’s data model. The UI is built with Streamlit.
I started with CRM data as an example, but I’d love to expand to more complex use cases with various data types. If you have interesting scenarios, let me know.

23. Show HN: An app where you suggest me your vet, I suggest you my babysitter
URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tenkudos&hl=en_US
Author: Giarty
Description: 10 Kudos is an app to share the contacts of trusted service providers with your friends.
I built it because I often seek some kind of provider: a plumber, a cat sitter, a lawyer, a web designer, even a hint for a restaurant, whatever. I don’t want to just find a random provider on some website, and I don’t trust their mostly fake endorsements. I want to tap my friends’ network of trusted providers.
I usually end up calling my friends one by one, trying to imagine which are more likely to know a good provider, but it’s not very efficient. I would prefer to have this kind of shared Rolodex.
Similar projects, like Yelp, usually have the two-sided-market, or chicken-and-egg issue: they are useless for costumers until they don’t have providers, and useless for providers until they don’t have customers.
The way I designed it, it’s distributed and personal: it doesn’t need a database (and actually even if it had it, a new user wouldn’t see anything on it, because it only shows the favorite providers entered by your friends). Instead, even if just two or three friends use it to share their trusted contacts, it’s already useful to them.
Plus, this layout eliminates the issue of the usual fake reviews, and of the effort for the real users to enter diplomatic assessments: this app is just an exchange of contacts, if I need that kind of provider I will then call my friend and ask her for more feedback.
This app is a formalized word-of-mouth. It serves two needs: it is useful for anyone like me who often seeks a specific kind of provider, but it’s also useful for a provider who wants to increase her customer base. Suppose I’m a math tutor, I will download the app, enter my profile, and then send a broadcast from the app to my WhatsApp contacts asking them to endorse me (and then to share further the app with the endorsement).
The Android version of the app as I envisioned it, is complete, no users yet (I know, you’ll say I should have progressed the other way around, got it). I have tested it with some people, they are positive but not enough to use it. I need to understand how to make it more appealing so that it can spread.
I’m not seeking investors, I believe that if the product/market fit is achieved the app can grow almost naturally, if it isn’t achieved money won’t help.
I would love your comments and suggestions!

25. Show HN: Tenbin – minimize the differences in test execution times across shards
URL: https://github.com/nissy-dev/tenbin
Author: nissy-dev
Description: A typical test runner implements a sharding feature that splits tests to run on different machines. However, the sharding algorithm often randomly splits tests, leading to uneven execution times across shards.
Tenbin provides tools to minimize the differences in execution time across shards. It uses the execution times of past test run when splitting tests.
For example:
shard default use tenbin
1/3 3min 4min
2/3 5min 4min
3/3 4min 4min
The optimization of the sharding algorithm is considered in E2E testing tools where test execution time is a more critical issue. In Playwright, this is being discussed in https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/17969.

28. Show HN: Bomello PLM – For mechanical and EE development
URL: #
Author: roberttod
Description: Hi HN!
For those unfamiliar, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is software used to track the lifecycle of a product (and it’s parts) from design, through to manufacture and distribution.
My team are software engineers from hardware backgrounds, and we’ve built Bomello (link: https://bomello.com/) by borrowing systems and concepts from the software world, where development practice is light-years ahead of hardware.
One of our key analogies has been to Github - which shares some similar purpose to PLM. Like Github, PLMs are the centralized data store where engineers input their work, so that rest of the company can deploy it into the hands of users.
We see the current landscape of PLMs as ripe for disruption. The market is highly fragmented, and polarized. Older players (such as Arena), work well to develop structured development processes, but are overly complicated and often require a dedicated engineer to administer. Newer entrants focus on flexibility, or introducing brand new technology such as AI. On this side, workflows and process take a back seat - which in my mind should be the core of PLM.
What we’ve built focuses on workflows, centered around a detailed review process with side-by-side comparison of incoming changes. We guide development process towards industry best practice, using modern UX inspired from software dev.
I’ve been a long time fan of HN, but this is my first time starting a company. It’s been just as stressful and exciting as expected! I would really appreciate any feedback, so let me know if these ideas resonate.
A note on PDM:
Product data management (PDM) is a different class of software, but key to PLM (and is often included). PDMs are focused mostly on the engineering users, synchronizing their work such that it can later be reviewed and released into the PLM. Some parallels could be drawn between PDMs and git, although functionally they are very different. We currently aim to be PDM agnostic, as they are typically tied to users’ CAD choice and deeply integrated. However, we have not ruled out building our own PDM in the near future.

33. Show HN: Tenno – Markdown and JavaScript = a hybrid of Word and Excel
URL: https://tenno.app
Author: deepmacro
Description: Tenno is a web app that lets you create Markdown documents that can include computational cells. You can think of it as a mix of Word and Excel, some sort of “literate programming” environment.
This is still an early version but I wanted to get some feedback from HN on what could be nice features to add.
Check out the Docs and examples page, it has a ton of (in my humble opinion) cool stuff!
Why did I build this? I was building some estimation for cloud costs in Google Sheets and I quickly ended up with a mess. I realized that if I wanted to analyze how a certain thing changes wrt to multiple variables by plotting it, I had to create a bunch of copies of data and copy my formulas everywhere… a SWE nightmare!
Tenno simplifies this because you can essentially define a function you are interested in, and only the analyzing it using plots that explore various dimensions.
BTW, you can also use Tenno to build dashboards by pulling data from APIs, checkout the weather data example.

URL: https://www.echonotes.ai/
Author: tofficer
Description: Hi everyone - My cofounder, Reuben, and I have been working on Echo, a voice & text, mobile-first, note-taking app that uses GPT-4o to organize your thoughts and bring them to life.
Download here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/echo-ai-notes/id6503351019
How Echo works:
- Write or record notes. We recommend going for a walk and just rambling. Echo works well with unstructured thoughts.
- Echo automatically organizes your notes into topics.
- You can ask Echo questions, and it will use your notes to generate a response.
We launched in the App Store on Sep 3. The most common use-cases our users share with us are:
- Habit building by capturing how you feel instead of just counting events.
- Getting unstuck when writing by talking out loud.
- Capturing inspiration when it strikes.
- Boosting creativity through daily ramblings.
Personally, I use Echo to think through a syllabus for a law school class I’m teaching in the fall. I’m a lawyer turned software designer and I’ve always struggled to write, but I get energized when talking about my ideas. So, I take Echo for a walk and just talk my way through what I want to teach these students. After a couple days of this, I ask Echo to draft a syllabus for me.
Echo is free to use. We’re still very early-stage and would love your feedback. You can reach me at [email protected]
Thank you!
p.s. We’re launching on Product Hunt today. Wish us luck.

39. Show HN: Seamless MySQL integration – adding a database directly in code
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EfYn7MkdyI
Author: nix_95
Description: Hey HN,
I’ve been working on a better way to set up and deploy databases like MySQL for projects without all the usual DevOps overhead. Instead of configuring everything manually, I tried something more integrated that lets me set up backend connections and then invoke them directly in my code.
In the video, I show how I used a my tool (Qubinets) to quickly set up a MySQL database. Everything is configured within the tool—from deploying the database, setting up connections (MySQL,Ingress Nginx and DBeaver for management), and then hooking those connections straight into some simple Python code. Essentially, all the backend work is handled upfront, and then I can just invoke those connections in my code without extra hassle. The whole setup took me around 30 minute, more or less.
For small teams or early-stage startups, this feels like a way to skip many DevOps-heavy steps that normally slow things down. I’m curious if anyone here has tried a similar approach—integrating backend infrastructure directly like this rather than configuring everything from scratch.
Would love to hear your take—especially if this approach could be a better fit for smaller projects, or if you see any big downsides I should consider.

42. Show HN: Handinger – API to extract data from the Internet
Author: masylum
Description: A few months ago, I was developing a bookmark manager for https://fika.bar. I needed a way to fetch metadata, screenshots, and markdown content from websites. Since Fika is a donation-based product, I couldn’t afford any of the providers out there, so I decided to build instead of buy.
”Easy,” I thought. But weeks later, I found myself building data pipelines, implementing proxy rotation schemes, and dealing with TLS fingerprinting. Not fun—and definitely not how I wanted to spend my time. My product was a bookmark manager, not a data extraction service, yet most of my efforts ended up there!
It turns out that the Internet has become a difficult place to extract information from. Many websites have implemented measures against data extraction, making it more challenging and expensive than it should be to build products that rely on web data.
Handinger is my attempt to fix this. During that time, I also noticed that people training LLMs need to fetch data at scale. So, I extracted the work I’d done for Fika and built a very affordable, general-purpose scraping API. I managed to optimize it so I can price it at only 0.0005 EUR per URL—peanuts!
Try it out and let me know what you think :)

I recently built ResumeSet, an AI resume builder that creates tailored resumes based on job descriptions from any job link.
Job hunting can feel like a full-time job itself, especially with the growing reliance on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that automatically filter out resumes. I wanted to help job seekers create resumes more likely to pass ATS checks without endless manual tweaking.

- Paste the job link, and ResumeSet’s AI analyzes the job requirements to tailor your resume to match the job’s key requirements and skills.
- The result? A resume that is ATS (Applicant Tracking System) friendly and increases the likelihood of passing automated screenings.
- PDF export feature for easy downloads and integrations into existing job platforms.
- No fancy templates, just functional and ATS-friendly formatting.
Why I built this: I noticed how time-consuming and frustrating it is to repeatedly tweak resumes for every job application, especially when fighting against rigid ATS systems. I wanted to automate this process and make job hunting more efficient by focusing on what matters—tailoring resumes specifically to each role.
ResumeSet helps users avoid the generic, one-size-fits-all resumes that often get rejected. I see how often good candidates are missed due to poorly optimized resumes. My goal was to make a simple but effective tool that bridges that gap.
Tech Stack:
- Built with Django and OpenAI API for the core AI functionality.
- Frontend is a simple Bootstrap for a responsive design.

Description: Hi HN! I’ve just released SwiftyJSONLine (https://github.com/fumito-ito/SwiftyJSONLines), the better way to deal with JSONLines data in Swift.
It enables you to easily handle .jsonl format files, string and data with Swift.
JSON Lines is a convenient format for storing structured data that may be processed one record at a time.
The JSONLines format is also often used as the format for returning batch results in LLM services such as Anthropic Claude and ChatGPT.

46. Show HN: Automatic Passkey Upgrade Demo
URL: https://passkeys.eu/automatic-passkey-upgrade
Author: vdelitz
Description: Hey everyone,
With the latest Safari / iOS / macOS, a new WebAuthn feature “Client Capabilities” was introduced that allows, among others, for conditional creation of passkeys.
For users (right now only Apple Passwords users - more password managers to follow), this features creates a passkey automatically in the background when a user signs in with username + password autofill. In subsequent logins, the passkey autofill is favored / promoted.
So far, there’s not many websites that let you experience this feature, so I added a simple one to https://passkeys.eu/automatic-passkey-upgrade
First data shows that this is a massive driver for passkey adoption growth. Once rolled out on more websites, I think this can be the tipping point for mass adoption of passkeys. What do you think?
