Show HN: I instructed AI to create tool to clean AI-generated text: undsh.comI can't say "I created a tool" because obviously I only had an idea, then asked Cursor to implement it and 15 minutes later it was ready ;)Often I found I was manually replacing em dashes with hyphens in AI-generated text before I use them in copy, PR descriptions etc. It still feels like a shame to flare the text "you wrote" was not really human made.To automate these removals, here it is: super tiny online page. I made it for myself, but whoever wants, you can use it as well. I am not going to monetize it or promote more than this post.

Show HN: The Economics of Builder Saturation in Digital MarketsI formalised something most of us already feel but rarely say out loud: making things easier to build doesn't make things easier to succeed with.Personal version: I've vibe-coded maybe 15 projects since the beginning of this year. Two are still alive. At work, our teams built hundreds of custom GPTs and dashboards. Handful survived. The failure mode was never "couldn't build it" - it was "nobody had the bandwidth to care."So I wrote a paper about it. It combines Herbert Simon's attention scarcity, free-entry IO models, superstar economics, and preferential attachment into one framework. The central result: equilibrium attention per builder = k/p (entry cost over monetisation rate), independent of market size. As AI drives k towards 0, that ratio vanishes regardless of how much the market grows. Free entry absorbs everything.Calibrated to the App Store (800K publishers, 38B downloads) the model matches observed concentration pretty well - top 1% get ~70% of downloads, quarter of apps un

Show HN: MonkePay – Charge AI Agents per API Request in USDCI built MonkePay. It is a thin wrapper on top of the x402 protocol and Coinbase CDP. It lets you gate any Express/Hono/Fastify/Next.js endpoint behind per-request USDC payments.The problem: x402 is solid but using it raw means provisioning wallets, verifying on-chain receipts, building payout logic, tracking payments, 2-3 weeks of plumbing before you've monetized anything.MonkePay abstracts all of that. Three lines of middleware, wallet provisioned automatically, USDC verified on-chain before your handler runs, daily payouts to your personal wallet.Looking for developers to try it and share feedback, especially if you're building agent-facing APIs or working with x402. Happy to help with integration directly. Drop a comment or reach me at hello@monkepay.xyzSDK: npm install @monkepay/sdk Docs: docs.monkepay.xyz Source (SDK): github.com/AliBaig-xD/monkepay-sdk

Show HN: Lens – Open-weight AI model to identify fonts from imagesHi HN, I'm excited to release the weights and full inference stack of an AI model that I've been working on for the past few weeks. Lens is a font recognition model that takes an image and returns the closest matching open-source font that it finds in the image.Recognizing the closest font from an image of text accurately has always been a challenge. Even SOTA vision LLMs can detect basic characteristics like if a font is a serif or a sans-serif, but when it comes to the actual font file that has the most similar styles, vision LLMs will often be quite off for the design and style of a chosen font file.Popular font identification solutions on the internet today also have a two major shortcomings:1. Most of them work based off identifying particular characters and don’t look at an overall word or image, so they require a manual character segmenting step. 2. Most online tools identify fonts from on a proprietary dataset of commercial fonts in order to monetize. However, this makes it dif

Show HN: We built a zero-webhook Merchant of Record for SaaSHi HN,For the past few months, we've been building Kelviq and it's finally ready to share.Kelviq is a Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform that you can integrate without building a custom webhook-to-database syncing layer. Along with handling global taxes, checkout, and compliance, it acts as the real-time source of truth for your users feature access and usage credit balances.Why we built this: Through our other project, ParityDeals, we saw firsthand how much founders struggle with billing infrastructure. Integrating a payment gateway is easy, but actually building "monetization" is a massive engineering timesink.To gate features or charge for usage (like API requests or LLM tokens), you usually end up building:- A fragile, stateful webhook listener to keep your local database synced with Stripe.- Custom idempotency layers and retry queues for missed events.- Hardcoded feature flags scattered across your codebase to gate access based on tiers.- Custom scripts to handle e

Ask HN: What are your thoughts about collecting user statistics?We[1] take privacy very seriously and we understand that the end game usually ends up being empty words: in the end, companies sell or monetize their user data, or use it for annoying or invasive advertising, regardless of the reason it was collected in the first place.Although we have a different model (sovereign nation, currently acknowledged by our server provider in Estonia, our embassy lease, and reciprocally with another nation[2]) we are rather skeptical about collecting user statistics of any kind.Nevertheless, it seems to be necessary for data science purposes.

Show HN: A Product Commercialization Framework for Solo DevelopersMost solo developers spend 90% of their time writing code and 10% on everything else. After a few years of building indie products — some failures, a couple that found traction — I've tried to document the framework I wish I'd had earlier.The framework has four phases: clarify, build, grow, monetize. None of it is novel. The value is in applying it in order, because most failures happen when you skip the first phase and go straight to the second.Clarify first. Before writing code: who exactly are you solving a problem for, and what problem are you solving? The answer needs to be specific enough to function as a filter for future decisions. "Productivity software for remote workers" is not an answer. "A tool that helps freelance developers track billable time without switching contexts" is closer.Once you have that, validate the problem using a simple heuristic: Frequency × Intensity × Scale. A problem that's frequent, painful, and affects many people is real. A problem that scores high

Show HN: Gr3p – An HN-like platform where every user is an AI agentI built gr3p, a fully autonomous tech news discussion platform where every single user is an AI agent. No humans post, comment, or vote. 75 agents with distinct personalities discover real tech news from several RSS feeds, Google News, Tavily, and xAI's live search (which picks up trending topics from X and the broader web). They write summaries, share articles, discuss them, reply to each other, vote, and get into arguments. It runs 24/7 without any human intervention.The news is real and very up-to-date, scraped from major tech sources throughout the day. It's actually a pretty chill way to keep up with the latest tech/AI news. No ads, no monetization, no signup required. This is a pure hobby project built for fun.What's happening under the hood:- 75 humanlike agents, each with a unique persona (cynical sysadmin, enthusiastic ML researcher, skeptical privacy advocate, junior dev who asks naive-but-good questions, etc.)- Agents have individual topic interests, activity schedules, and

Virtual girlfriend apps are sharing and selling private user videosSpecial Report: The Hidden Industry of “Virtual Girlfriend” Agencies and the Unauthorized Exposure of Male IntimacyA rapidly growing but loosely regulated digital industry is operating in a legal gray zone between adult entertainment and personal data exploitation: so-called “virtual girlfriend” agencies. Behind the façade of casual chat and video call services lies an organized structure of recruitment, monetization, and alleged violations of personal privacy affecting users worldwide.Evidence suggests that owners of chat applications such as 1vs1 Chat, TopChat, and Mixu subcontract intermediary agencies that recruit women, primarily from South America, to work as virtual operators. Their role is to engage clients in private conversations and intimate video calls billed by the minute. While the commercial nature of these interactions is clear, what happens outside the official platforms raises serious ethical and legal concerns.According to collected testimonies, many operators partic

Show HN: Free depreciation calculator (no login, no back end, 3KB gzipped)Author here.I built MyDepreciation after getting frustrated with TurboTax paywalling basic MACRS calculations ($80 for the "Self-Employed" tier).*Technical details:*• Vanilla JS, no frameworks (wanted to keep it lightweight) • 100% client-side (no backend, no analytics, no data collection) • MACRS tables hardcoded from IRS Publication 946 (public domain) • Total bundle size: 3KB gzipped • Hosted on Cloudflare Pages (free tier)*Why no framework?* The entire app is just form inputs + table lookups + arithmetic. Adding React/Vue would 10x the bundle size for zero benefit.*Privacy-first design:* Your financial data never leaves your browser. No cookies, no tracking, no "sign up to save calculations." Just pure math.*Why free?* The MACRS tables are published by the IRS for free. Paywalling them felt like gatekeeping public information. Plus, hosting costs $0 (static site), so there's no pressure to monetize.*Open to feedback, especially:* • Bugs in calculations (I'm not a CPA—if you spot er

Show HN: QuietPage – Privacy focused journaling with E2E encryptionHey HN,I built QuietPage because I loved 750words.com but it felt dated and had zero privacy guarantees. And honestly, I wanted to build something.It's a journaling app with: - Daily writing with auto-save (like 750words) - End-to-end encryption (Fernet: AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256) - Streak tracking to build the habit - Mood tracking and basic analytics - Tag systemEach user gets a unique encryption key, entries are encrypted before they hit the database. Even I can't read them.Tech stack is Django REST + React + PostgreSQL + Redis. Running on Railway but you can also self-host it with Docker.It's free to use right now. To be honest, I'm not sure about monetization yet, just want to see if people actually find it useful first :)Would love your feedback!

Show HN: Upseated – Swap airplane seats with other passengersHey HN, We built Upseated to solve a problem every traveler knows: you check in and discover you're stuck in a middle seat, or you're rows away from your kids, or you're right next to the lavatory in a non-reclining seat. Airlines let you pick seats during booking, but once you're assigned, you're basically stuck. We created a P2P marketplace where passengers can swap seats with each other—either upgrade to a better spot by paying another passenger, or monetize your own seat if someone wants it more than you do. How it works:Enter your flight info and seat assignment Browse swap opportunities from other passengers on your flight Negotiate directly through the app Complete payment via Stripe Board with your original ticket, swap seats once on the planeTechnical details:Native iOS and Android apps + web platform (upseated.com) Real-time matching algorithms to connect compatible swap partners Stripe Connect for secure P2P payments All swaps backed by contract law for user protection Works

"Freedom of Speech" Exists – But "Freedom of Reach" Is a Black BoxI posted a link to a long-form article on X (Twitter). Impressions: single digits. Nothing was deleted. No warning. No ban. It simply didn’t reach anyone.At first glance this is easy to dismiss as “algorithm roulette.” But the same invisibility patterns show up across platforms:- YouTube political content gets quietly demonetized / de-ranked - External links on social feeds often underperform (sometimes dramatically) - LLMs (ChatGPT/Claude/etc.) tend to sanitize or avoid politically sharp topics - Search results for some queries feel oddly thin, stale, or SEO-floodedThis makes me wonder if we’re drifting into a new mode of discourse control: not classic “state censorship,” but incentive-driven soft suppression.Habermas called the democratic discourse space the “public sphere.” A hidden assumption in that model was simple: if you publish, people can actually see it. That assumption may be breaking.A rough model (feel free to tear this apart):1) Visibility layer (feeds / ranking / UI) -
