Show HN: A tool for services businesses to improve their customer experiencehttps://sashy.ai/demoI took a 9-week Data Science bootcamp last year, having previously had no formal software development education. My previous jobs had been mechanical product development and business development.During the course, I came up with the idea to extract valuable information from natural language. Online reviews seemed like a good place to start.Unlike other platforms that pass reviews to an LLM and get it to output the sentiment, I came up with a formula for calculating how much each individual review comment affects the business's overall Google rating (see Reviews page of the demo).The 'impact' values are then added up to tell business owners where they are doing well/poorly in terms of customer experience and suggests prioritised improvement actions (see Actions on Dashboard page) so that they know where to focus their attention.So far, 25+ businesses are using the platform, mainly restaurants and food & beverage consultancies, but also cleaning services, bakeries.I built the product mysJul 1, 2025 4:41 PM

Airbnb has locked payment on my account for 8 weeks and still no follow-up emailhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424041A little before mid-May I opened Airbnb, as I’ve done hundreds of times over the past decade, to secure a house for an important summer event with friends. I clicked “Book,” waited for the familiar animation… and the payment failed.No big deal, I thought. I switched to another card. Same red banner. I tried my balance of gift credits. No luck. Over the next hour I repeated the ritual from three different devices—laptop, phone, even an old tablet—using cards issued while living and working all around Europe, both Americas, the Middle East. Every attempt ended the same way: an error, no explanation.For the first time in ten years of globe-trotting stays—rooftops in Lisbon, cabins in Patagonia, canal apartments in Amsterdam, lofts in San Francisco, studios in Dubai—Airbnb slammed a door in my face.So began my long walk through support.The chat agent was polite and assured me a “specialist” would email me. Days passed, and no email came. I tried again and again. Each new thread ended with Jun 30, 2025 2:48 PM

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 knowingJun 28, 2025 7:45 AM

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+ countrieJun 22, 2025 4:56 AM

It’s about giving you a canvas to make something uniquely yours with paints, markers, or crayons.You can:Turn your child’s sketch into a paintable masterpieceConvert a favorite photo into a fun coloring projectDownload a PNG ready to print and paintI’ve been tweaking this for months and finally got it ready to share.

How to get my ECG data?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44294050I wore a heart monitor for a month and want the data. I've called and exchanged email with "Bio Telemetry, a Phillips company", and all I've received is a stack of paper with a "Daily Patient Report" for each day. (Well I've also received a statement from BCBS saying that they won't pay Bio Telemetry $9,000). My first/primary question to HN is:Do you have advice on how to get the actual data?My second question for non-US readers:Does $9,000 seem excessive?Background: For 10 minutes in April I was seeing double. Fearing that it was a transient ischemic attack, MDs ordered lots of tests. The heart monitor was to check for arrhythmias that could cause a clot. I was surprised that the study found ventricular tachycardia; see: https://www.fraserphysics.com/page2_ecg_report.pdfCoincidentally, I have been thinking about ECGs and have written code for analyzing them; see Section 6.3.1 of my book at https://www.fraserphysics.com/book.pdf.
