Show HN: NoteSub Now with Decentralised Sharinghttps://notesub.comSocial media without being a social media platform. I wanted to be able to share aesthetic notes/posts/audio without social media intermediaries. PDFs are never made for phone screen views... so I implemented .NoteSub file creation in app and sharing so that you can send notes to be seen as good as they were designed via whatever sharing method you use.Also, it is free to download and use for every feature apart from an IAP for iOS sync.

Show HN: Vizzly – Visual testing platform with built-in review workflowshttps://vizzly.devHey HN! I’m Robert. I worked on [Percy’s SDKs/support from 2018–2022.](https://github.com/percy/cli/graphs/contributors) If you ever reached out to support or opened an issue, I probably helped you. Hopefully it was positive :) After a few years away, visual testing still felt stuck, so I'm building Vizzly.The problem: Design handoffs kinda suck. Designers make beautiful specs, devs implement them, then everyone realizes the details got lost somewhere. Current visual testing tools catch broken CSS but miss the real issue - making sure what ships actually matches what was designed, functionally (like really in the browser/OS/etc).What it is- Visual testing + review where you send actual screenshots (not DOM re-renders). Can be _any_ image to review (PDFS!)- Collaboration built-in: reviewer assignment, approvals, @mentions, screenshot-level threads.- Baselines: automatic (Git-aware), manual (not Git-based), or hybrid.- Team-based pricing; generous free plan for OSS; on-prem available.Wha

Show HN: My Daily Journal – An iOS Digital Journal Without Subscriptionshttps://mdj.geodim.dev/I built a journaling app because I wanted something simple, private, and reliable - without subscriptions, third-party servers, or ads. Most journaling tools felt over-engineered or locked behind recurring payments. I wanted something lightweight and accessible.Right now it’s free for testing and feedback. Long term, I’ll add a single one-time unlock, not a subscription. This was my first big React Native project, I learned a lot about iCloud sync and native integrations along the way!*Features so far:*- iCloud backup (no external servers) - Daily highlights with a single image (on purpose) - Pin lock + biometrics - Custom prompts for entries - Morning & evening journaling - Mood tracker (syncs with Apple Health) - Weekly challenges & daily quotes (Stoic + others coming) - Reminders & timeline view*Would love feedback on:*- The UI/UX: does the minimalist approach work? - Features: what feels essential, missing, or over-complicated?App link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-daily-journa

Show HN: Access Terminal – A site that trains you to write like a spyhttps://unifyanddisrupt.substack.com/p/supercharge-your-productivity-byI built Access Terminal to help people write with the clarity and precision of intelligence operatives.It’s a minimalist web app that trains you to communicate using spy-style writing techniques—like BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front), consequence-driven phrasing, and ruthless clarity.Why? Because most startup communication is bloated and vague. Spy agencies train operatives to write in a way that’s fast, decisive, and sharp. I wanted to bring that same style to founders, teams, and professionals—without the friction of courses or logins.Key features: – No sign-up required – Quick, repeatable writing drills – Teaches high-impact habits like trimming fluff, writing for outcomes, and structuring for decision-making – Free to use now — will switch to a subscription model soonIf you run a startup or manage a team, this can save time, improve clarity, and reduce decision friction across the board.Would love feedback from this community—especially around use cases, UX, or expansion ideas.

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 and

MVP in 15 days and why strangers became angelshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44402928How we leveraged Events, LinkedIn, Open-source, free accounts. With 0 Strategy. Just plain curiosity to learn & solve a problem.Curiosity > StrategyWe didn't know words MVP, pitchdeck nor about fundraise, co-founder. Startups, VC, angels world was alien to me....So here's how we started. We would ping strangers on LinkedIn & events that I joined. I even spent Indian Rupees 1L ($4900 in PPP terms) on paid events/niche trainings.I’ve never hesitated to spend on my Curiosity. It pays back in long run.We helped strangers without expectations. Still ppl won't respond... I wondered why? These people posted they needed help.But this pain paid back in long run. You learn this is how the world works. You reach 20 — if 2-5 respond, you're lucky.Deal that crashedI helped 1 wanna-be US VC raising $100M fund, 2 wanna-be startups & 2 folks with overlap to our idea. Since we weren't sure about any idea — VC thing looked exciting.We helped with what we know best — tech, connects — without even knowing

Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shapehttps://www.cutmuse.com/Hi HN,A few months ago, I started building Cutmuse after hearing the same thing over and over from friends and family:“I never know what haircut suits me.”The idea was to create a tool that uses AI and facial analysis to recommend personalized haircuts, hair colors, and even glasses based on each user’s unique features.You upload a photo (no login required or payment for the free version), and within minutes get a custom style report that includes:Haircuts that fit your face shapeHair color suggestions based on your skin toneEyewear styles that match your proportionsAnd optional grooming/skincare tipsThis isn't like Instagram filters or beauty apps that overlay random looks. What makes Cutmuse different is the depth of the analysis. It applies real visagism principles — a method used in professional image consulting — combined with facial landmark detection and color analysis to give you results that are not just aesthetic, but structured.We're currently live with users in 10+ countrie

Show HN: macOS app PhotoSort could help reduce your monthly iCloud billhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44236094PhotoSort does two simple things that Apple Photos (deliberately?) doesn't.It sorts your iCloud and Mac Photos library by file size and aesthetic quality.This lets you find not just your best photos, but also large, unwanted photos and videos filling up your iCloud storage, and the hundreds of useless screenshots and forgettable photos cluttering up your Photos library.PhotoSort creates two albums in the Photos app: SizeSort and QualitySort. The first identifies the biggest space hogs that you could offload to reduce storage; the second separates your best shots from the mediocre and rubbish ones that you might want to delete.PhotoSort is available on the Mac App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739038077). The free version reveals your 30 largest files. The paid version ($5 for lifetime use) shows the full sorting and creates the two albums. More details at www.photosort-app.com.PhotoSort is available in English, French, German, Spanish (ES), Spanish (MX) and Russian versions. The

Validating a women-only beauty service platform (React/Node/Next.js)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43994182Hey HN, I'm Ziad — currently building a prototype for a women-only beauty services platform, and I’d love your early thoughts before we ship an MVP.The idea hit me unexpectedly. One day, my mom booked a beauty freelancer to come to our home. It was a disaster. The stylist had no online profile, no reviews, no credentials, and… no clue what she was doing. I asked, “Where did you find her?” My mom replied, “Someone just recommended her.” That’s when it clicked: why isn’t there a vetted, trust-based platform for this?So I started mocking up a product:Think Airbnb UX meets Glossier aesthetics with a Node.js + PostgreSQL backend, and a Next.js + Tailwind front.We’re building an app where women can find verified, reviewed, and skilled beauty freelancers or salons just for women, filtered by price, location, ratings, and availability.For freelancers/salons: they’ll get a dashboard, booking system, and verified profile (with KYC & portfolio upload).Here’s the interesting part from a product-ma

Feedback on Tool I Created?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43871726Hey- I've been working on a minimalist tool called QuickPoint — it’s a minimal tool for quick text-first creation and sharing structured thoughtshttps://quickpoint.meBut rather than push a vision, I’m here to learn what people actually need. I built a rough prototype and are watching closely how (or if) people use it.I’d love your honest feedback: Please feel free to tinker about- and say whatever comes to mind. If you need to structure your feedback - I put some questions below. However- I'd rather just hear anything you have to say.Does it feel like it solves anything you’d do in real life? What’s your first instinct about what this tool is for? What’s good and what's missing or broken in the concept itself?Not trying to pitch- just trying to listen. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Show HN: Vibe Styler – Transform Any Website's Style With a Prompt + Gemini 2.5https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43555608I vibe coded a Chrome extension that lets you redesign any website using a simple prompt, powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro's million-token context window. It analyzes the full DOM and existing CSS, then generates contextually-aware styles based on your requests – from specific tweaks ("make the header sticky") to complete themes ("apply cyberpunk aesthetics").The extension maintains style persistence across visits, handles CSP gracefully, and lets you manage styles per website. All processing happens through the Gemini API (you'll need your own key), with no intermediate servers. The API is currently free to use.Note: Since the extension sends the entire context of the website to Gemini, be careful not to send any sensitive data.Try asking it to style as "Star Wars" or "Simpsons", or "add subtle animations to all buttons" – it's pretty fun to experiment with!GitHub: https://github.com/majidmanzarpour/vibe-stylerDemo: https://x.com/majidmanzarpour/status/1907275311798206561

Ask HN: Should I Price Ithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43537273Hi guys. New here. New founder too. I need some help figuring out how to price my product.. I'm not sure about the rules so I'll not post any of my product links or whatever.So I currently have a product that consists of a Chrome extension and a web platform. It allows my users to highlight any text on the internet, add notes and open LLM chats directly on-page linked to their highlights.My current features are:- highlight text (underline / background as a highlight style)- add notes to highlights- open LLM chats directly on-page- auto-scroll to highlights (works on LLM apps like Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)- auto-sync to their account so they can cross-browser itSo... what should I price it? What should the model even look like?? Some form of freemium, of course.. but what? Nr of highlights, notes & chats per day and then something like $7.99?Are the current features too few to price it? I guess to figure out if anyone wants to pay for this core functionality the features are just enough?An
