Ask HN: Does everyone here hate ads?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47618571First off, I don't like ads.When I'm watching American sports like the NBA, I'm surprised by the amount of ads you have to sit through. It's a stark contrast to watching football (soccer). Although I think the upcoming FIFA World Cup is going to adopt the American-style ad model.When I'm using a mobile app on my phone, I hate having to wait for the disruptive ads to go away. When I'm watching a YouTube video, I hate when ads come up just as I'm really enjoying the content.Back when I was using Facebook, I hated how infested with ads it was. It was almost unusable.I see people here complaining about ads a lot, and a recent example is the front-page thread here about LinkedIn - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47613981#47614309But if they are hated so much, why do companies spend billions of dollars on ads. They clearly work... don't they?In all my years on the internet, I've never clicked on an ad to make a purchase (okay there was one time when a particular ad on buying cheap domaiApr 2, 2026 6:48 PM

Show HN: VeilVault – an Android password manager built to stay localhttps://veilvault.codeveil.de/index.en.htmlI used to keep important passwords in ways that were a lot more primitive than they should have been, mostly because I never fully got comfortable with putting everything behind an account or cloud sync by default.That eventually turned into building the password manager I actually wanted to use myself: Android-only, local-first, offline-first, and built around keeping the vault on-device.I’ve been using it daily for a while now, and that shaped the app more than trying to chase a giant feature checklist.It’s called VeilVault. I published the crypto/storage core separately for anyone who wants to inspect the local encryption and storage side.Mar 24, 2026 9:06 AM

Show HN: An aesthetic customizable online flip clock and my first ever apphttps://flipcloc.com/I know there are many flip clocks out there, but flip clocks are truly wonderful and my version FlipCloc is smooth, optimized, detailed, and fully customizable to match your workflow / aesthetics / mood.Often, flip clocks online feel half baked: choppy animations, bad flipping animations, lazy flap separations, sometimes not even distinct top and bottom flaps, zero customization, and so on. After playing with time related concepts in various projects, I wanted to build an app of my own and made this using WebGL and React. This is my first ever app and I’m quite proud of this beta version.Try the full experience for free in any browser. No ads, just a beautiful clock you can run in a tab, window, or PiP while working or studying. (One-time purchase unlocks saving custom themes, settings, and presets and is usable on the web, app, or screensaver.) You can start by trying out some of the different preset styles and then customizing it to your preferences.Key features:• Show/hide seconds, Feb 12, 2026 12:52 PM

Ask HN: How many of you now use AI over doctorshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45508047I have recently essentially ceased using doctors for most run of the mill items and instead turned to Ai to diagnose and recommend treatment and then purchased the medications from online pharmacies.For example I order my own blood work. I decide what labs to order and interpret the results via chatGPT / Grok, etc. I then order medications via online pharmacies. Recently started taking High blood pressure medication all worked out with Ai and the results have been great.I still use doctors for things I cannot such as colonoscopy, etc but for everything else I use Ai.I just got frustrated at having to wait 6 - 8 weeks to see a doctor, get labs and then wait another 6 - 8 weeks to see them to review the labs when I can get the entire thing resolved myself in a week.Anyone else do the same?Oct 7, 2025 7:58 PM
