Show HN: Gotaper – A minimalist, journal-inspired race planner for athleteshttps://gotaper.app/Lately I've been planning on running my first 100 miler and been struggling with organizing everything around the race. Been back and forth between google docs, notes, spreadsheets and AI agents. So in the middle of that, and a long run, though about creating a kind of journaling app for taking notes about the race and everything about it and it got interesting. So here is the first kind of working version. I would love some brutally honest feedback: - What do you think? - What is the clunkiest part of your current race-week planning workflow? - Does the journal-style layout give you more data control than just a spreadsheet? - What feature would make you actually drop your current setup for this?Jun 28, 2026 8:18 PM

Ask HN: Options for an independent AI researcher with strong results?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48689261I'm outside the AI industry, outside of academia, and no easy contacts into relevant areas. My background lends itself to exploring AI & reasonable level of care checking results. I was focusing on building practical useful things for a portfolio to help change industries mid-career, but that has become something a little different now.The exploration has led to an analytical framework that appears useful more broadly for looking at neural representational models. (It's not a model architecture or training method, benchmark, or prompt engineering.) It is a way of analyzing internal representations through the mapping of structure-preserving connections, to transport them to a frame of reference outside the model, exposing some stable relationships, while not being model-specific or require training something else.It has survived attempts at invalidation, generated useful predictions and functioning interventions, and has continued to reveal additional applications the more I do.

Show HN: BetterDB, MIT Valkey-native context layer for AI agentshttps://github.com/BetterDB-inc/monitor/tree/master/packagesToday we released an open, Valkey-native context layer for AI agents as part of our packages at BetterDB (agent memory, semantic + multi-tier caching, typed retrieval) that run on a Valkey instance no matter where it is - no vendor lock-in. We even started provisioning Valkey instances starting today. Packages are shipped on npm and PyPi.Why we made it: BetterDB originally started as a monitoring and observability platform for Valkey, Redis and any RESP compatible db. This is still the core of the product, but in the process of building this, we kept seeing that one of the fastest-growing uses of Valkey was AI - vector store and cache behind agents and RAG. So about a month and half ago we published MIT semantic and agent cache libraries for that, with the agent cache library not even requiring any modules and being able to run on vanilla Valkey. Today we are extending this to agent memory. Because we started with observability, it also runs everywhere - every cache, memory and retrievJun 26, 2026 3:16 PM

Show HN: I built a tool that matches Founders to VCs based on their pitch deckhttps://investormatch.proHey HN,I am a VC and 3x venture-funded Founder. VCs and Founders are both playing a low-probability matching game. Better targeting both ways is the way to solve this problem for both parties.So I build Investor Match - Founder uploads a pitch deck (or paste a Docsend link), and it returns 20 ranked investor matches with fit scores, contact details and pre-drafted outreach emails. There is also a deck Teardown feature to improve your deck before sending to Investors. We launched in Jan. and over 3,000 founders have run their decks. There are over 10,000 VCs in the database. Founders have reported over $100M in commitments from matches so far.When I was a founder, I was scraping Crunchbase and Techcrunch for investors and cold-emailing them, generally without enough context on stage, sector fit, or what they actually invest in. Most prior matching systems were dumb key-word matches (you are B2B, Investor X invests in B2B so match). Investor Match does full symentac match after having reJun 26, 2026 1:34 PM
