Show HN: An API for human-powered browser taskshttps://browser-work.com/At APM Help, we have a large team that performs repetitive, browser-based tasks. Years ago, to manage this work securely and get a clear audit trail, we built an internal platform we call "Hub." It's essentially a locked-down environment where our team works that records their sessions, tracks every interaction, and prevents data from being copied or shared. It's been our internal source of truth for years.More recently, like many companies, we've been building more automation. And like everyone else, we've seen our automations fail on edge cases—a weirdly formatted invoice our parser can't read, a website layout change that breaks a scraper, etc. Our team would have to manually step in to fix these.We realized other developers must have this exact same problem, but without a 250-person team on standby. So we connected our old, battle-tested Hub to a new, modern front door: a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) API. We're calling it browser-work.com.The idea is simple: when you hit a task that neJul 21, 2025 4:16 PM

Epistemological Primeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44521212I am on a quest for the epistemological primes. These are the deep foundational knowledges which underpin everything. Somehow relates to that "high-leverage generalist" concept, but it's like the next level above that. We're talking level 3 jack of all trades here.The epistemological primes of mathematics might be logic, set theory, category theory, model theory, graph theory, and a few others. Things that can't be reduced any further; their own whole ways of thinking.These primes exist in everything. Doing drugs (the way I do them) involves knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, and cognitive psychology. Cooking also involves chemistry and thermodynamics, and the knowledge of "flavor profiles" (which cores does that come from?). Doing projects involves some kind of "how to work" prime."Physics" is not a prime, but kinematics probably is a prime.It's hard to figure some of them out. Demographics feels prime, but is probably actually a few things mashed together. Same for metrology, phJul 10, 2025 2:00 PM

One line email taught me more about communication than months of buildinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44453367I'm Francesco, as you might have read here I'm building a job application tool called interviuu, and this morning, like every morning, I was checking emails. After recent launch day my inbox looks like a mix of user feedback and people offering their services, but there was also this one message that really hit me."Interesting approach no free time don’t know what’s behind the curtain just pay the money good luck"Super simple email, just a few lines, but the value was huge. Made me realize that if my startup doesn't have a free trial (or freemium plan) I have to communicate the real value of the product way better on the landing page or in any educational content.I'm not saying this is some groundbreaking discovery or that it wasn't obvious, but there are certain interactions when you launch that make you pay attention to these obvious things a lot more.So, for me, a clear, realistic view of what your product actually does can solve three major issues: - Potential misunderstandings andJul 3, 2025 9:52 AM

Show HN: A tool for services businesses to improve their customer experiencehttps://sashy.ai/demoI took a 9-week Data Science bootcamp last year, having previously had no formal software development education. My previous jobs had been mechanical product development and business development.During the course, I came up with the idea to extract valuable information from natural language. Online reviews seemed like a good place to start.Unlike other platforms that pass reviews to an LLM and get it to output the sentiment, I came up with a formula for calculating how much each individual review comment affects the business's overall Google rating (see Reviews page of the demo).The 'impact' values are then added up to tell business owners where they are doing well/poorly in terms of customer experience and suggests prioritised improvement actions (see Actions on Dashboard page) so that they know where to focus their attention.So far, 25+ businesses are using the platform, mainly restaurants and food & beverage consultancies, but also cleaning services, bakeries.I built the product mysJul 1, 2025 4:41 PM

Airbnb has locked payment on my account for 8 weeks and still no follow-up emailhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424041A little before mid-May I opened Airbnb, as I’ve done hundreds of times over the past decade, to secure a house for an important summer event with friends. I clicked “Book,” waited for the familiar animation… and the payment failed.No big deal, I thought. I switched to another card. Same red banner. I tried my balance of gift credits. No luck. Over the next hour I repeated the ritual from three different devices—laptop, phone, even an old tablet—using cards issued while living and working all around Europe, both Americas, the Middle East. Every attempt ended the same way: an error, no explanation.For the first time in ten years of globe-trotting stays—rooftops in Lisbon, cabins in Patagonia, canal apartments in Amsterdam, lofts in San Francisco, studios in Dubai—Airbnb slammed a door in my face.So began my long walk through support.The chat agent was polite and assured me a “specialist” would email me. Days passed, and no email came. I tried again and again. Each new thread ended with Jun 30, 2025 2:48 PM
