5. Show HN: I made a tiny device for automatically recording digital pianos
Author: chipweinberger
Description: Hey HN!
A few years ago, I left my cushy big tech job to make hardware.
And made the device I always wanted - an automatic piano recorder!
I usually play piano improvisationally, and manually hitting record never meshed well with that. But there are always moments I wish I recorded, and now they are!
Hopefully it scratches a similar itch for some of you as well!
A few of the tech details:
- built on an esp32-s3
- custom injection molded enclosure
- BLE comms, sd card storage, DS1302 RTC
- android & ios apps with Flutter
- Shadertoy vfx support for video sharing
- Chip

8. Show HN: AI to monitor your favorite podcasts and send insights to your email
URL: #
Author: dspiniak
Description: I built a daily newsletter that uses AI to monitor podcasts and youtube channels, and bring you the highlights from top-tier interviews and news in tech, business, leadership … and everything you like. Basically, in 5 minutes you can get the key insights over dozens of hours of top-tier shows.
Webpage here: https://aipodcastinsights.com/
I’m looking for early feedback into this concept. I wasn’t sure whether to post here since it’s a newsletter. But, this since this is a personalized newsletter with a fair bit of heavy lifting and lots of code to produce, I thought it was worth a shot.
For now, it only allows to subscribe to a subset of tech and business shows (due to AI gemini costs), but I also want to add functionality so users can pick their own shows and follow top shows within their interests.
Here’s a preview of what the newsletter looks like (today’s edition for my favorite podcasts, mainly on tech and business): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ce_SKtzrlP9X593yMH3Thf7H…
To try it out, fill in this form and you’ll receive tech podcasts daily plus any others where there’s been a lot of demand: https://forms.gle/yXN1KySQdQqkfh2A7
More specifically, I’m looking for following feedback:
- Feedback has been sort of meh, though most users open it daily
- I’m having trouble with newsletter form, since a fair bit of users are pretty alergic to more emails, but I’m also weary of building “another app”. Feeling a bit trapped here.
- If this turns out to be just a slightly more sophisticated production form for a newsletter, what do you think might be good beginners pack to market it?
Thanks in advance for your feedback and comments!

14. Show HN: Skipper – Tab management that works with ADHD brains
URL: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/skipper-fewer-tabs-more-f/cjiinmicahhdcmfpdohhaahgkdiehfga
Author: popol1991
Description: I’m Kyle Gao, CTO and cofounder of Skipper. This product emerged from research done at Carnegie Mellon University about focus and browser design. People leave tabs open to serve as reminders or for quick access to things they want to get back to. But as the pile of open tabs grows, the browser becomes incredibly cluttered and tabs are indistinguishable from one another - failing to either remind or provide quick access as intended.
Skipper is a Chrome extension that automatically saves and closes unused open tabs, and then organizes them by topic and time used. We aspire to make manual organization frictionless and easy, and then leverage the user’s personalized organization system to extend it and keep it up to date on an ongoing basis using AI. That way, only the tabs you’re actually using are left open in your browser bar, so they actually are easy to get back to.
We are focused on “the ADHD entrepreneur” - this persona emerged from interviews with our early adopters. Those who are diagnosed with ADHD or who simply struggle with focus tend to appreciate the automatic decluttering the most as it prevents them from rabbit-hole-ing on the wrong thing unintentionally.
I am looking for feedback about whether Skipper fits into your workflow naturally without you having to change your own habits to get value from it. Give it a try and let me know what you think! You can also email me at [email protected]

Author: dyloxim
Description: Many HN readers will be familiar with iterated functions system fractals. Famously, images of these attractors may be produced via a chaos-game process. This process is simple to implement thus making it a perfect candidate for a graphics programming practice project.
Interestingly, methods developed for ‘the inverse problem’ (inferring IFS parameters to approximate an input image) have been applied to create compression algorithms.
This project provides an interface for exploring the space of possible attractors visually and interactively.

URL: https://www.journable.com/
Author: stevehoyek
Description: Hi, I’m Steve and I’ve built this mobile app to solve my very long-standing problem of not consistently using any calorie tracking apps due to the poor UX (many clicks, too much friction).
So, although I am not the best UI/UX designer, I have tried to remove friction at every corner with Journable. This applies to the
1. Tracking experience: Chat-based interface (think ChatGPT) to log food/exercise 2. Onboarding experience: No login screen, no measurements or goals, straight to the main chat window 3. Photo entries: Just take a picture of your plate and done
That said, I’m not the best UI/UX designer so I would really appreciate any feedback on the app, and I welcome any and all comments & suggestions. Should I make it easier? Faster? Simpler? Does it need more color? Keen to hear it all!

22. Show HN: BemiDB – Postgres read replica optimized for analytics
URL: https://github.com/BemiHQ/BemiDB
Author: exAspArk
Description: Hi HN! We’re Evgeny and Arjun, and we’re building a better way to do analytics with Postgres.
We love Postgres for its simplicity, power, and rich ecosystem. But engineers have to still get bogged down with heavyweight and expensive OLAP systems when connecting an analytics data stack.
Postgres is amazing at OLTP queries, but not for OLAP queries (large data scans and aggregations). Even in this case, we’ve still heard from countless scaling startups that they still try to use only a read replica to run analytics workloads since they don’t want to deal with the data engineering complexity of the alternative. This actually works surprising well initially, but starts to break for them as they scale or when integrating multiple data sources. Adding lots of indexes to support analytics also slows down their transactional write performance.
When growing out of “just use Postgres”, companies have to understand and wrangle complex ETL pipelines, CDC processes, and data warehouses — adding layers of complexity that defeat the simplicity that undermines their initial choice for Postgres as their data storage in the first place.
We thought there had to be a better way, so we’re building BemiDB. It’s designed to handle complex analytical queries at scale without the usual overhead. It’s a single binary that automatically syncs with Postgres data and is Postgres-compatible, so it’s like querying standard Postgres and works with all existing tools.
Under the hood, we use Apache Iceberg (with Parquet data files) stored in S3. This allows for bottomless inexpensive storage, compressed data in columnar files, and an open format that guarantees compatibility with other data tools.
We embed DuckDB as the query engine for in-memory analytics that work for complex queries. With efficient columnar storage and vectorized execution, we’re aiming for faster results without heavy infra. BemiDB communicates over the Postgres wire protocol to make all querying Postgres-compatible.
We want to simplify data stacks for companies that use Postgres by reducing complexity (single binary and S3), using non-proprietary data formats (Iceberg open tables), and removing vendor lock-in (open source). We’d love to hear your feedback! What do you think?

24. Show HN: I built an agent to make open source contributions easier
URL: https://github.com/potpie-ai/potpie/blob/main/readme.md
Author: dhiren_m
Description: Over the last few months I’ve built a tool that breaks down your codebase into a knowledge graph, generates and stores inferences about the code with each node and provides tooling for agents to fetch graph structure, perform similarity search, fetch code etc in order to do engineering tasks.
My favourite thing about this is how easy it makes getting started with a new codebase that I have no context about. As a young engineer when I was trying to get into open source, it always seemed out of reach because the large codebases always scared me and documentation was not fun to read.
Use cases I’ve tried so far:
- Generating “Getting started” documentation for a project: I could not find any steps on how to build and test the AgentOps SDK locally. I’m more of a microservices guy, had never heard of tox or built SDKs. The tool was able to read the configuration files and tell me exactly how to build and run the tests [1]
- Generating a plan for changes to be made for a Github issue description - Tried this with the Portkey AI gateway and Signoz codebase where I picked up an open issue from the repo and tried to get the agent to tell me what needs to be done. [2][3]
- Understanding behaviour of a repo that is not documented - I was debugging a latency issue and noticed an evaluation task prompt in our LLM observability, our agents are built with CrewAI, but I could not find any reference to this on their documentation. Using the tool I was able to pinpoint where it was coming from and its purpose. [4]
I’m experimenting with new use cases everyday and trying to see what else is possible. How would you use these agents?

URL: https://www.vanity.services/
Author: thisismydesign
Description: Hey HN!
I’m a freelancer and having a non-gmail address helped me a lot.
But cool domains are expensive, and DNS setup is annoying to non-tech people.
I thought what if one person buys dev.com and sells a bunch of [email protected] email addresses? I think this can work, so I built it! Bought some domains too, not dev.com yet, but hopefully someday. :)
Currently, I have a few domains from which you can buy addresses. I would like to democratize this and build it into a service where anyone can offer their domain to be used as an email address provider. I think domain parking is a wasteful enterprise, like having a bunch of nice buildings and never using them. Let’s use them!

URL: https://regrets.io/
Author: luskira
Description: Yoooo HN,
I’m Lucas Schiavini and I built Regrets.io, a platform to share regrets and to let your inner curious child endlessly look for pros in cons in everything. It’s supposed to be simple and scrollable and a place for you to research anything you want and get easy pros and cons.
So why not just use reddit? I’ve been on endless reddit threads on posts to gather all the info I needed to buy my legion go, my remarkable tablet, my new macbook, and I’d really love to find all their info under one page, extra points if an ai can summarize the pros and cons from the user answers(regrets.io feature coming soon!!).
I made it much harder to create similar regrets like “going to college” and “going to university”. It’s still not perfect and the duplication is still possible if you try hard enough but those things are being fixed.
As of right now you can type in anonymous responses without an account and if you want a bit more features you can login and still leave anonymous responses if you choose to.
This is a project I built after I heard the idea on one of the my first million pods(thanks shaan) and I felt it was very interesting. I’m looking forward to build more features to help people move past their regrets and to overcome difficulties in their lives. I want people to feel like heros and like mentors on this website.
I’m posting here to gather feedback and if this resonates with you or you’re curious I’d love your feedback, ideas, and honest impressions.
[Check it out here](https://regrets.io), and let’s see if our shared experiences can help us all make better choices moving forward.

42. Show HN: Tile.run – Extract structured data from any document via API
Author: ntkris
Description: Hey HN,
Today, we’re launching tile.run, an API that extracts structured data from unstructured documents (PDF, images, text) with support for custom schemas.
The Problem: Extracting data out of unstructured documents is surprisingly hard. We built tile.run while solving this for our product Kili (automation for invoicing/reconciliation). We found that getting to accuracy that is reliable enough for automation is challenging. Dense documents (e.g., lots of tables or line items) are even harder, and these are the most valuable to automate. After talking to other teams and developers, we found many other teams were after similar solutions.
Key Features:
- Multiple formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, plain text
- Custom schema support with nested objects/arrays
- Specialized in dense documents with tables
- Self-serve API - start extracting in minutes
Technical Details:
- REST API with simple JSON responses
- Robust error handling and validation
Coming Soon:
- Improved accuracy
- More file formats
- Self-hosting options
- Zero data retention mode
Links:
- Landing page: https://tile.run
- Documentation: https://tile.run/docs
I appreciate there have been a bunch of launches in this area recently, so wanted to address that head on as well:
- Clearly this problem is very valuable to solve but requires significant effort
- There are many ways to approach the same problem. For example, tile.run targets technical teams whereas other teams are solving this for business teams or specific functions (e.g. ETL).
We’re excited to hear your feedback on the product.

URL: https://www.interviewshark.com/
Author: entrehacker
Description: Hello! I’m building interviewshark.com because I’m frustrated with how boring and price-gougey the other mock interview websites are.
I want a site where all engineers across many different levels and areas of expertise can advertise their skills on an easy to use online bulletin board, essentially. So that’s why I created InterviewShark. If you’ll notice, it’s a single page app, with no sign ups. I’m going to add search functionality and ratings in the future, to make it easy to find interviewers. But right now it does what I set out to build — easy, no nonsense, no signup mock interviews.
I targeted hardware first because that area is very underserved for mock interviews (I used to run this service in the past for https://chipdev.io). But I want to build out the software side. If you’re interested in earning a bit of extra cash, feel free to apply to be an interviewer. The onboarding is fast. If you’re not a good interviewer then I’ll probably have to kick you off, but I doubt that would be a problem for 99% of us.
Also I built out the interview platform myself too, to make this tool exactly how I wanted it: interviewshark.com/sandbox (sandbox version, no collaborative features). It’s a pretty simple tool (just websockets for collaborative UI elements + firepad for collaborative editor), but it has all that’s needed to do interviews.
Let me know what you think and how I can make this a better tool for the HW and software eng community :)

Description: I’m applying for the W25 batch, and I wanted to share my application with friends for feedback. Since there wasn’t an easy way to do this, I built one myself.
Also, for anyone at YC reading this: could you consider changing the “Finish application” button to “Edit application”? I once spent 10 minutes searching for how to keep editing because I assumed “Finish application” meant submitting it.
Edit: I feel stupid, this has the same functionality as the preview application button, don’t install, I will remove it :joy:

50. Show HN: Architectural Metapatterns Book [pdf]
Author: descri
Description: I wrote a free book (CC BY license) on software architecture. It classifies architectural patterns / system designs into groups according to their structure, so that each group features a specific set of goals and properties, as structure and function correlate. That results in a kind of inheritance for patterns, making it easy to learn them and even iterate over all the known architectures to analyze their properties. Any feedback and ideas on how to promote the book is warmly welcome!

53. Show HN: Generate video memes instantly from top TV Shows and Movies
URL: https://www.tgdm.ai/
Author: rubeekrumpet
Description: Last year, I found myself endlessly scrolling through episode after episode, trying to find ‘that perfect clip’ to illustrate a meme idea.
I was frustrated because I couldn’t find the clip I needed, and it consumed countless hours of my content creation workflow. That’s why I built tgdm.ai—a website that provides instant access to a wide library of clips from your favorite TV shows and movies, creates funny and relevant meme texts using AI, and exports memes in social-media-ready formats.
What makes tgdm.ai unique is its combination of a massive video clip library with an AI meme text generator that truly understands the humor context. While the content library is currently limited, it’s growing steadily.
Give it a try, we would really appreciate your feedback!

54. Show HN: Building an AI That Understands Your Code
URL: #
Author: vinaypanghal
Description: A couple of years ago, I noticed a gap in developer workflows. We have amazing tools for writing and shipping code, but understanding someone else’s code—especially in large repositories—often feels like solving a mystery without a map. What if there was an AI that could explain codebases as easily as a teammate would?
That idea led to TuringMind, an AI-powered code chat platform that helps developers onboard faster, explore unfamiliar repositories, and even triage vulnerabilities. It’s designed to be your go-to tool for understanding and reasoning about code—whether you’re debugging, reviewing, or just trying to figure out why the previous dev left a maze of if-else statements.
In late 2022, I started working on the foundation: enabling the AI to provide meaningful, context-aware answers to questions about code repositories. Over time, it evolved into a platform that integrates seamlessly with GitHub, analyzes repositories using LLMs, and delivers insights tailored to the way developers think.
Now, TuringMind is live and helping developers:
Answer complex questions about code dependencies and structure. Onboard to new teams or projects faster by understanding repository context. Triage vulnerabilities by reasoning about false positives and code impact. Next up is expanding TuringMind’s capabilities to automate even more tedious tasks, like triaging common CVEs or suggesting architectural improvements.
Let me know what you think of the idea! Are there pain points in your workflow where TuringMind.ai could help? Would love to hear your feedback or ideas for improvement.
