4. Show HN: An AI Platform that unearths creativity
URL: https://cmind.buzzchat.site
Author: fredabila
Description: People often ask me questions because they realize that I’m so good in tech and have everything figures out. They actually never realize that everything and every knowledge i have is sourced from the internet and achievable if they research too. Sometimes researching and finding what you’re searching for is hard especially when you don’t know how to go about it. Maybe that’s not exactly why I built CMTA (Creative Minds Think Alike) but i think of it as a resource centre that will give people access to tools to help them achieve exactly what they want.
I believe in Creativity and i believe with a little push, we can get things done. Here’s my gift to the world. Let’s make this happen

5. Show HN: Odinize now on Android – Generate individual courses on any topic
URL: https://appdistribution.firebase.google.com/pub/i/b5fcc0c2831c13f1
Author: odinize
Description: Hi everyone,
We are looking for beta testers on Android now to provide us with honest feedback on our app idea. The Android preview is brand new, so kindly give it a try.
The app allows users to generate comprehensive courses on any topic they would like to learn in any style they prefer. It will also feature a community to browse / share courses and bite-sized daily knowledge for any topic the user is interested in. A chatbot helps with questions during a course.
This (actually alpha) version provides the core feature of course generation only, while the full version will feature the above functionalities. In this limited scope you will be able to go back to a previously generated course (if any) to type in “Prev” in the topic field and hitting “Continue”. We highly encourage you to provide us with feedback via this thread or any other communication channel. You can also visit our website at https://odinize.app where you can find more information.
Thank you in advance and happy learning!

The following article provides a high level introduction and demonstrates some use cases: https://www.soundingfuture.com/en/article/aoo-low-latency-pe…
AOO has been in development since 2020 and it has been used in several art projects since. Now it has finally reached a stage where I feel comfortable presenting it to a larger public.
This is still a pre-release and I want to get more feedback before making a final release, so tell me what you think!

Author: hudecekdev
Description: Hello! I made a simple online text to SVG converter, mainly for my own use (I was tired of launching Inkscape for such a simple task). It supports Google fonts, font size, color, line breaks, etc. It uses OpenType.js.
I am a big fan of really simple tools, which do one thing and do it well. Hopefully this is one of them.
I’ll be happy if anyone else finds it useful.
Thanks!

10. Show HN: I built a no-code tool to add custom popups to your website
URL: https://www.popuppilot.com/
Author: DividePeaks
Description: Hey Hackers,
Over the last year i’ve launched a number of small start-ups and side projects. I was able to drive traffic to these projects but when it came to converting on that traffic I struggled…
One of the best ways I found to increase conversions was to implement a popup strategy for my sites. I built PopupPilot so that I could quickly generate popups and experiment with different ideas. I have found the tool useful so I am rolling it out as a little product.

Anyway, I hope it makes using my website a little more fun - even if it does add a bit of friction. lol.

13. Show HN: SSO – Small String Optimization
URL: https://github.com/feelamee/sso
Author: feelamee
Description: I wrote this just for fun when saw article about sso in Rust[1]. My string can store up to 23 (excluding null-terminator) 8-bit chars without calling allocator.
Here I can mistake, but..
Curious fact: both - libstdc++[2] and libc++[3] - do access to union member without any check that it is active now.
AFAIK, this is UB in C++. But I assume that they just rely on theirs compiler features. I tried to avoid this using std::byte[].
But I’m still sure that there are several UB’s in my code :)

Author: drumnickydrum
Description: Hi all! I built this starter script so that with a single command you can build a React app that is ready to deploy — globally and for free — to Cloudflare. It will bootstrap a pnpm monorepo with a client side React SPA deployed to Cloudflare Pages, and a server side Hono api deployed to Cloudflare Workers with KV storage. It is also prepped for Sentry error monitoring.
I omitted some critical components like a component library and routing so people can use it with their favorite tools. If you find what’s included or omitted to be odd, or see improvements for the readmes, post an issue and we can build out the most useful version.

35. Show HN: Sendsheets.com – send personalized emails from Google Sheets
Author: coolastekatten
Description: hey y’all!
i’m a product leader and previous startup founder, so i send a ton of emails.
most businesses rely on google sheets as their backbone, but no tools make it easy to use sheets as a database for emails. most solutions either try to move you off sheets or are just clunky mail merge tools.
so sendsheets:
- lets you send personalized emails using data from google sheets and your own email
- tracks open rates and gives ai suggestions for improvements
- no sending limits during beta, free to use
a few main use cases currently:
- user correspondence/or your network for feedback or interviews
- event invites or project updates
- manage freelancers by sending status updates or project feedback
i use it all the time, specifically for the 20-50 recipients target
please give it a spin

37. Show HN: I make a AI tool to batch process codes
URL: https://github.com/qiangyt/batchai
Author: qiangyt
Description: I often rely on ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, but it is a little bit frustrating to constantly copy and paste between the copilot chat window and my open code files. Why not update the files directly? I also tried using Cursor, which solved the first problem, but still have to open each file individually to add them to the AI’s context.
That’s why I created batchai. The idea is simple: less copy-pasting, fewer clicks on ‘Add to Chat’ or ‘Apply.’ batchai traverses files and processing each of them. Since AI isn’t always perfect, I’ve designed it to run only on a Git directory, so we can easily diff the changes and choose to either commit or revert them.
Currently, batchai only supports code review and fixing common issues (think of it as a local AI-driven SonarQube). The next feature in progress is generating unit test code in batches, which I plan to use in a few of my personal projects (including this batchai), as they have very few unit tests. Other planned features include code explanation, comment generation, and refactoring — all of which will be handled in batches. Additionally, I’m working on enabling batchai to have an overall insight of the project’s code, such as building cross-file code symbol indexing, which should help the AI perform better.
Here are some interesting findings from testing batchai on my personal projects over the past two weeks:
It can identify issues that traditional tools, such as SonarQube, tend to miss.
It may not report all issues in one go, so I need to run it multiple times.
Due to outdated LLM training data and hallucinations, it’s crucial to confirm the changes for accuracy by myself - That’s why I make batchai work only on clean Git repository directories.Popularity: 1 points | 0 comments
