Ask HN: What do founders want from a one person dev studio?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47782421I’m a full stack developer and recently started a small solo studio:https://www.launchcraft.studio/The idea came from a pattern I kept seeing with early-stage founders:They don’t usually struggle with ideas.They struggle with execution speed.Either they:-hire agencies that take months-or try to build themselves and get stuck midwayI’ve been focusing on helping with:-MVPs-landing pages-small SaaS productsMostly handling everything end-to-end (frontend, backend, deployment).What I’m still trying to figure out is:What do founders actually expect from a setup like this?Some tradeoffs I’ve noticed:-speed vs long-term scalability-polish vs shipping quickly-fixed scope vs iterative buildsIf you’ve worked with freelancers / agencies / solo devs before:-what worked well?-what didn’t?-what would make this actually valuable to you?Trying to refine this into something genuinely useful rather than just another “dev service”.

Show HN: Count Me In, a metronome that counts numbers for youhttps://labs.tiffzhang.com/count/Hey Hacker News! I recently made me own metronome app for my music practice because I often get lost in rhythm, and I thought it might be helpful to create metronome that counted actual numbers out loud for you to help me learn to count.So, for example, if you subdivide 4/4 into 16th notes, then the metronome would say:1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e+aOne thing where this has been especially helpful for me is that I added support for asymmetric rhythm patterns. In pop music, it's common for songs to use a 3-3-2 rhythm pattern with eighth notes. Even though this is usually written out in 4/4, in my app, if you set the rhythm to 8/8 and explicitly define the beat groups as 3+3+2, it will count this for you! This ends up being:1+a 2+a 3+You can see an example of what that looks like here! https://labs.tiffzhang.com/count/?bpm=100&ts=8-8&sub=2&vm=co...What do other people think? I'd love to hear if this helps anyone else with their music practice or if people have thoughts on things they'd like to see f

Show HN: Libretto – Making AI browser automations deterministichttps://github.com/saffron-health/librettoLibretto (https://libretto.sh) is a Skill+CLI that makes it easy for your coding agent to generate deterministic browser automations and debug existing ones. Key shift is going from “give an agent a prompt at runtime and hope it figures things out” to: “Use coding agents to generate real scripts you can inspect, run, and debug”.Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDpIntmHAM. Docs start at https://libretto.sh/docs/get-started/introduction.We spent a year building and maintaining browser automations for EHR and payer portal integrations at our healthcare startup. Building these automations and debugging failed ones was incredibly time-consuming.There’s lots of tools that use runtime AI like Browseruse and Stagehand which we tried, but (1) they’re reliant on custom DOM parsing that's unreliable on older and complicated websites (including all of healthcare). Using a website’s internal network calls is faster and more reliable when possible. (2) They can be expensive since they

Ask HN: Non AI Contributor on Project Teamshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47780915Once upon a time, we deployed a project to production and it seemed to have lots of bugs - some involving pagination not working on ui of all things.So many features felt flaky. As the team lead who reviews everyones PR and was also in charge of the deployment and monitoring, it created a lot of work for me because I had to fix every hotbug - a case in point was a pagination not working on some page or other.During some of these fixes, I felt my knowledge of the codebase wasn't as it ought to be especially since I didn't participate as much.Also, there were a lot of code that was so much more complex that I felt it will be if a human had written it - I felt my review was lacking in some capacity as well.For a while I struggled reviewing PRs that turned out to be miniature ai slops. And of course, under pressure of meeting deadlines and other things you end up merging PRs that just worked via click-testing without actually reviewing the code.In the end, I felt the codebased lacked a tea

Show HN: I built an AI music tagger for DJs, fusing metadata, audio DSP, and MLhttps://choon.appBuilt this for myself. I DJ, throw parties in Portland, and my digital library is 10k tracks and unmanageable. Tagging everything was a nonstarter.Project started as a Python script that fed track metadata into ChatGPT. Worked surprisingly well for something so basic. Friends kept asking me to run their libraries through it, and eventually I built a real app around it.The core insight: no single signal is enough. Metadata lookups miss obscure tracks. Audio analysis alone lacks context. LLMs alone hallucinate. So the app combines them:* Metadata cross-referenced against a 200M record Discogs-based DB for known releases * A Mac companion app for managing library / tagging / syncing to Rekordbox * Python DSP that analyzes audio directly (BPM, harmonic content, energy) * A trained ML model for obscure tracks the main databases don't cover * Multiple AI models handling different classification dimensions * Four tag dimensions: genre (50+ sub-genres), region, era, vibe * Syncs to Rekordbox's

Show HN: I built on-device TTS app because I run out of audiobooks on a flighthttps://loudreader.ioI didn't want to upload my own material to a third party cloud service, use mobile data for voice synthesis and kept running out of podcast queue on flights, so I spent a while trying to get Kokoro running on my iPhone.LoudReader is what came out of it - an iOS app that reads essays, articles, and books aloud, fully on-device. No account, no network after install.The model running once reading a sentence was the easy part. Making it not feel like a demo was the rest: streaming synthesis so playback starts before the sentence finishes, porting misaki to swift because I could only find python releases, thermal monitoring and strategy was a tough one as well. Runs well on iPhone 14 Pro(what I have) and newer. Tested on my mom's iPhone 12 Pro and it chokes sometimes, so I ported KittenTTS as a lighter fallback for older devices. The whole project took around 2-3 months on the weekends with claude code and codex.Smooth TTS was the hard part but the app around it grew larger than I expected

Why Vibe Coding Failshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47778946i am using claude to maintain an agent loop, which will pause to ask for users' approval before important tool call. while doing some bug fixes,i have identified some clear patterns and reasons why vibe coding can fail for people who dont have technical knowledge and architecture expertise.let me describe my workflow first - this has been my workflow across hundreds of successful sessions: 1. identify bugs through dogfooding 2. ask claude code to investigate the codebase for three potential root causes. 3. paste the root causes and proposed fixes to claude project where i store all architecture doc and design decision for it to evaluate 4. discuss with claude in project to write detailed task spec - the task spec will have a specified format with all sorts of test 5. give it back to claude code to implement the fixin today's session, the root cause analysis was still great, but the proposed fixes are so bad that i really think that's how most of vibe coded project lost maintainability

Show HN: HWT (Hash Web Tokens) – minimalist protocol for auth statehttps://www.jimmont.com/hwt/My frustration solving auth with JWTs led to reinventing the wheel for more predictable token integrity and transparency, while improving flexibility. The mix of features separates concerns more cleanly than what's been available, allowing higher throughput, custom codecs, delegation to both services and domains while easing key rotation and other practicalities.The design is focused on the token as state guarantee, not creation, revocation and the range of other separate concerns and application responsibilities. The spec conventions attempts to ease development with jurisdiction/data sovereignty and authorization in the authz field. It also enables and eases delegation between services and domains without centralized service exposure. The implementation is standalone and has demos for Deno, Cloudflare, etc in https://github.com/hwt-protocolFeedback and critique of the security logic and approach appreciated.

Show HN: Kino is a Google TV app that turns the TV into a media serverhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrtksn.kino&hl=en_USOk, so Kino is an Android app for Google TV that uses TVs internal storage and any USB storage connected to the TV to store, stream and manage videos. You don't need any 3rd party hardware, the TV is the computer. Also the TV app has open, documented API so maybe you can do interesting things like automation.It has a native macOS companion app that instantly finds your TVs with Kino installed on your network, pairs securely and lets you upload to the TV or download the videos back into your mac and stream the files from the TV into your mac. If you don't have a mac it does offer a WebUI.The TV app can play the videos, supports subtitles(both embedded into the video container and as separate files like .srt) and remembers the last playback location of the videos so you can continue watch them later from where you left.It supports seamlessly switching from watching the videos on the TV to streaming them from the macOS app and back again.

Show HN: Financial Web Tools – decision-focused calculatorshttps://financialwebtools.com/I built a set of lightweight financial decision tools (buy vs rent, house hacking, retirement, debt payoff) after trying to model a condo purchase for my girlfriend.Backstory: My girlfriend was looking into buying a condo, and I was trying to convey to her how the costs add up, even compared to renting. I knew from my personal experience with house-hacking in Seattle right out of college that the simple "renting is throwing money down the drain" philosophy can lead you to rush into buying properties without actually understanding the financial implications. I was having a tough time conveying this to her verbally, so I built a "house-hacking calculator" for her using Codex to visually model how investing a down payment and renting compares to buying a condo.Once I finished that initial prototype for her, I realized I had built something more generally useful. A lot of the available financial tools online are either overly complex for decisions like this (require modeling tax brackets,

Show HN: Three backtested quant strategies as Jupyter notebookshttps://mattitude8861.gumroad.com/l/QuantStrategyTemplatesBundleI've spent a few years building quant strategies and most of the work isn't the math — it's the plumbing: getting clean data, structuring the backtest so it doesn't look at the future, generating a readable tearsheet. I packaged three of my working strategies as self-contained notebooks so someone can go from zero to a proper backtest in an afternoon.The three strategies:1. Funding Rate Carry — Goes long assets with consistently negative funding (market paying you to hold) while hedging directional exposure with a small short on a correlated index. Data from Binance public API, no account needed.2. Momentum + Regime — Standard cross-sectional momentum with a regime filter. The regime filter uses a hidden Markov model to identify high/low volatility regimes and sizes positions down during risk-off states. This cuts most of the drawdown that raw momentum has during trend reversals.3. Vol Mean Reversion — Trades the VIX term structure spread (VIX3M/VIX ratio) against realized vol. Core id

Has Science Become a Dangerous Religion? – Alexandre Grothendieckhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769810Video: https://youtu.be/vldYKQB-ZeAIn this interview, legendary mathematician Alexandre Grothendieck speaks as a representative of "Survivre", an international and interprofessional movement started by scientists to tackle the interconnected ecological and political crises facing our world. Grothendieck offers a radical critique of "scientism," warning that it has replaced traditional religions to become one of the most powerful and negative ideological forces today. He explains how scientism acts as a hidden, common foundation for seemingly contradictory systems, from private capitalism to Soviet state capitalism and official Chinese ideologiesRather than relying on top-down political structures or simply swapping a right-wing government for a left-wing one, Grothendieck argues for a deep ethical transformation and a complete change in how human beings relate to one another. He highlights the importance of decentralization and praises the formation of small, local groups operating on
