1. Show HN: AI Feed
Author: saran945
Description: I’m developing a tiny app that allows users to create AI-agents to filter the web for personalized content. Here’s how it works:
users set up profiles describing their interests, like: Profile 1: AI researcher focused on LLMs Profile 2: React developer interested in frontend tech, etc.
the agent will match new content to each profile and assigns relevance scores to content based on the profile. Then, it delivers a daily digest of few high-quality, curated links tailored to each user’s interests.
so far, I’ve built a feature that generates a structured feed from any webpage.
Now, I am writing code for profile setup. . to refine filtering capabilities for each profile for more customized results.
does this sound interesting? please check this out and provide your valuable feedback.

12. Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework
URL: https://github.com/basis-robotics/basis
Author: a_t48
Description: Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we’ve been working for the past six months. It’s a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it’s better to launch a bit before you think you’re ready.
It’s a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++ publishers/subscribers directly, you declare the topics and types your code cares about in a configuration file, along with conditions on those inputs. Doing this allows for deep knowledge about the code running, which unlocks the possibility of deterministic simulation and testing (along with making it easy to generate bindings for other languages, create alternate schedulers, more easily swap out internal concepts, etc). It also enables easy static analysis of the codebase - given a launch file and arguments to the launch file, one can analyze the topic network and find missing publishers or publishers that publish to nothing.

13. Show HN: NKode – Easier to remember and more secure than a password
URL: https://nkode.tech/
Author: dabkelly
Description: nKode is a pictographic passcode that is easier to remember and more secure than a password.
Here are some of its unique features:
- Keypads are randomly generated from thousands of icons.
- Keypads are randomly shuffled after every login, so somebody can watch you enter your nkode and not know what it is.
nKode on the Server: A traditional password is composed of ASCII and sometimes Unicode characters. These are salted, hashed, and stored in a database. nKode is similar. An unsigned 64-bit integer represents every icon, though it can be a byte array of any size. These server-side attributes can be rotated daily, weekly, or at any desired frequency. Here’s how it works:
1. An administrator or cron job starts the server-side attribute renewal.
- The server-side attributes are rotated, and an intermediate transformation is applied to the user’s server-side keys.
- After a successful login, the user’s keys, salt, and hash are all replaced.

14. Show HN: Query standup data in natural language
URL: https://howsthisgoing.com/
Author: kanishkdan98
Description: Hey HN,
I was a PM for ~ 4 years before deciding to ditch everything to learn how to build software on my own.
As a PM, I was doing standups every day with our engineers, but whenever I’d need an update I’d still end up pinging them on Slack. Why?
- No notes from those standup calls
- Folks being unavailable
- No solid insight from those standups.
We ended up using a Standup tool but it didn’t do much apart from converting our calls to text + making standups async. Sadly, there was still no insight.
So decided to do build something myself: howsthisgoing - it’s an AI-powered standup bot that lets you query team updates using natural language (built with Gemini, Claude, Python/Django, Celery, Tailwind).
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijCTM3PmaU
Technical details:
- Set up slack apis for running standups
- Use gemini for standup based summaries
- embeddings using voyageai
- natural language queries handled in 2-parts (first with claude for extraction, then gemini for filtering)
- first time setting up RAG pipeline was fun! (let me know if you’d like to know how I did this)
Currently exploring integrations with Github/Linear for deeper context on technical updates. Particularly interested in solving the challenge of connecting different data sources (commits, tickets, standups, sales updates) into a queryable knowledge base.
Looking for feedback on:
- Which data sources would be most valuable to integrate?
- Planning to pivot to an “all-in-one updates app with github/linear/hubspot etc. being as source. What do you guys think of this idea?

17. Show HN: HexSeq – A physics-based ambient music sequencer
Author: maxquinn
Description: HexSeq is a web-based recreation of Teenage Engineering’s Tombola sequencer from their OP-1 synthesizer. It uses React Three Fibre and Rapier physics to create generative music through bouncing balls inside a rotating hexagon.
Drop chords in with your keyboard, control the hexagon’s rotation speed, adjust its shape, and experiment with different physics parameters to create unique musical “patterns”. The lack of structure probably makes it best suited for generating some interesting ambient sounds. It can be quite mesmerising to play with.
Made using React Three Fibre (three.js) for 3D rendering with the rapier physics engine, and Tone.js for audio.
The mobile experience isn’t great as I think triggering too many sounds causes crackling and audio clipping, at least on android/chrome.

URL: https://www.camypro.com/spar/spar.html
Author: loftsy
Description: Hi HN!
Filament winding is a manufacturing process in which reinforcement (like carbon fiber) is wound around a mandrel to make strong lightweight structures. Since leaving my previous startup in composite materials I have been working on a tool called CamyPro.
When you click “Find Patterns” the tool runs a wind simulation and finds optimal fiber paths on the geometry. You can view the coverage analysis of various patterns by clicking “Show Coverage”.
I am steadily increasing the complexity of the geometry. Perhaps working up to shapes as complex as a bike frame in the future.
Hope this is of interest!

22. Show HN: Interactive price comparison for AI models (LLMs and Speech-to-Text)
URL: https://ai-pricing.vercel.app/
Author: nuxdie
Description: Demo: https://ai-pricing.vercel.app/ GitHub: https://github.com/WiegerWolf/ai-pricing
I built this tool to solve a common problem: understanding the real cost of using different AI models at scale. It compares pricing and performance metrics across major AI providers, with interactive calculators for both Large Language Models and Speech-to-Text services.
What it does:
- Compares 20+ LLMs (GPT-4, Claude 3, Gemini 1.5, Groq, etc.)
- Shows Arena ELO scores, processing speeds, context sizes
- Calculates monthly costs based on token usage
- Compares STT services (Deepgram, AssemblyAI, OpenAI Whisper, etc.)
- Displays per-minute/hour pricing and free quotas
- Updates regularly with latest models and pricing
Technical details:
- No frameworks or dependencies, just vanilla HTML/CSS/JS
- Data stored in JSON files for easy updates
- Responsive design, works on mobile
- Keyboard navigation support
- Open source, MIT licensed
Example use cases:
- Calculate costs for different usage scenarios
- Compare model performance vs price
- Find models with free tiers
- Check real-time STT capabilities
- Verify context window limitations
The tool helped me choose providers for several projects, so I thought others might find it useful too. Feedback welcome!

35. Show HN: Spook the Machine – Art/Science Game Exploring Emotional Algorithms
URL: https://spookthemachine.com/
Author: LevinBrinkmann
Description: We often consider machines to be cold and lacking emotional responses. But what if machines had ‘emotional’ weaknesses? Could that alter our relationship with them? To explore this question, we built Spook the Machine, a small, interactive game, where players test the limits of machine’s ‘emotional’ vulnerabilities.
In Spook the Machine, players select one of four AI models, each designed with its own unique weakness. The challenge: generate images that might ‘spook’ the machine by tapping into its specific vulnerabilities.
With this art meet’s science project, we want to explore if emotional expressions of AI foster stronger connections with humans? As AI grows in intelligence and autonomy, should we design these systems to exhibit emotional responses? Could emotional expressions in intelligent machines serve as a safeguard against human misuse?
This project is a science-meets-art initiative by the Center for Humans and Machines at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development.

39. Show HN: EmailMagnet – A dead-simple Chrome extension
URL: #
Author: snighedis
Description: Hey HN! I built EmailMagnet because I was spending too much time manually copying emails from websites. It’s intentionally simple: it runs in the background while you browse and automatically collects email addresses, with zero configuration needed.
Core functionality:
Silently collects emails as you browse (no clicking, no setup)
- One-click export to CSV/TXT
- Basic deduplication to keep your list clean
That’s it! No bloat, no complexity
Here’s the thing: I believe in “do one thing well” principle. EmailMagnet doesn’t try to be your full-featured CRM or email marketing suite - it just finds emails really well while staying out of your way.
Why I’m sharing this:
It’s my first product launch and I’d love your feedback I want to make it better and I know HN is the perfect place to get brutally honest suggestions I’m genuinely curious if others find this simple approach valuable
The backstory: I tried several email finding tools but they were all either too complex in UI, too expensive or required too many clicks… I wanted something that just works in the background while I do my normal research.
Would love your thoughts on:
- Is this simple approach actually useful?
- What critical features am I missing?
- How would you improve it without making it bloated?
- Any suggestions for better email pattern matching?
Try it: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/emailmagnet-email-e…
Current pricing: €4/week, €8/month or €48/year (50% off)
I know this is a simple tool but sometimes simple is exactly what we need. Looking forward to your feedback!!

URL: https://github.com/freetonik/textpod
Author: freetonik
Description: Textpod is a simple UI on top of a single notes.md file + a few features I always wanted:
- add + in front of a link to fetch a local copy of the page (downloaded in the background using monolith[1])
- search is integrated into the note input, just start typing with /
- attach images and other files (stored in ‘attachments’ directory)
I made a 1-minute demo video (no sound) [2].
When you start the binary, the data is served from the current directory: the notes file and the attachments directory are created automatically. Run multiple instances from different directories, if needed (I do that to separate work and personal notes).
It’s a very rough initial version thrown together on a Sunday evening. I hope to add nicer error messages and some customizations later.

I’d love to get some feedback from the HN community! Feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.Professional Digital Profiles: Users can create a custom profile with essential details and share it instantly via a tap of their NFC-enabled card or a QR code.Analytics for Taps and Engagement: Gain insights on how often and where your card is used. Great for tracking connections and gauging networking impact. Environmentally Friendly: Instead of printing new cards, a single reusable card reduces paper waste while making it easier to share contact info in a professional way. Customization Options: Choose from templates tailored to different industries or build a personalized style for your digital profile. Easy Sharing: Aside from NFC, profiles can be shared through QR codes, making it accessible even without an NFC-enabled phone.

51. Show HN: CogniSim – Interaction utilites for crossplatform LLM agents
URL: https://github.com/RevylAI/CogniSim
Author: anamhira
Description: We built a tool to that makes it easy to create LLM UI automations for IOS and Android.
If You’ve ever tried to create tests that run with an LLM on mobile, probably encountered context problems due to the accessibility view being too long or just sending a screenshot to the LLM, which has low accuracy.
Cognisim:
1. Turns the accessibility into a more LLM parseable form for your agents, and uses set of mark prompting to combine the screenshot and text for more accuracy. We create a grid of the screen so the text representation also has some form of visual structure to it.
2. Implements a simple API to do interactions on IOS and Android
3. Maps LLM responses back to accessibility components via a dictionary that maps id -> accessibility component
Pretty simple, but we hope you get some value from it :)
We run CogniSim in production for thousands of mobile UI tests a day at Revyl. If you are interested in proactive observability - combining resilient end to end tests with open telemetry traces, give us a shout - revyl.ai

53. Show HN: Trendly–A Personalized Feed to Cut Through Content Overload
Author: Keshini_shopynw
Description: Hi everyone! I’m excited to introduce Trendly (trendly.global), an app I think you’ll find really useful.
Here’s what we’re solving:
- Social media is full of fake news and lacks depth, yet many still rely on it for updates.
- There’s too much content online, making it hard to find what really interests you.
- Switching between platforms to get full details on a topic is tiring.
Trendly (https://trendly.global/) is a mobile app that curates a personalized feed with trending updates based on your interests. It lets you dive deeper by asking follow-up questions as a chat—all in one app.
We’re in the early stages, so while the chat function isn’t live yet, the other features are ready:
- The feed acts as a recommendation engine, curating content based on past interactions.
- Delivers concise, bullet-point summaries instead of lengthy articles
- Pre-generated Q&A for easy understanding
Check it out and share your honest feedback!
