Show HN: Laser-Tracer, programmable virtual volumetric vector displayhttps://westoncb.github.io/laser-tracer/This was an idea I had 7yrs ago that I recently decided to go ahead and build since by working with LLMs (mostly o3 and Gemini 2.5 pro) it seemed doable in reasonable time.The original motivation was partly aesthetic, but mostly that this was the ideal "language" for me to express arbitrary 3d forms through. I wanted something with zero boilerplate that would be a natural fit for algorithmic expression. For me, writing programs that say how to move a "pen" around in 3d space was more intuitive than e.g. writing pixel shaders.The format is inspired by Logo/Turtle, and somewhat mimics how a 3d printer works in that Laser-Tracer programs are G-Code like: the fundamental operation is depositing points; from there we get 'traces' specified by either relative (pen.traceBy(x,y,z)) or absolute destinations (pen.traceTo(x,y,z)). And built on top of traces are 'macros' for doing things like drawing text or sweeping polygons.When deposits are made by the 'pen,' it emits additively blended particlJun 12, 2025 9:28 PM

Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – AI agents for healthcare back-officeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44237769Hi HN! We’re Connor and Ambar, and we’re working on BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). We build AI agents that handle repetitive administrative tasks in healthcare clinics like filling out intake forms, prepping charts, or managing referrals.We were early employees at Forward, which provided primary care across the US. To scale this, we relied on thousands of remote contractors to do repetitive administrative work like reconciling patient records, and scheduling follow-ups based on care plans. It was a huge bottleneck—expensive, error-prone, and always pulling attention away from clinical care. Our software solutions were always too brittle, never managing to handle the variance of clinical data we oversaw.AI, when applied well, is capable of performing a lot of the tasks we manually did. So we decided to take another crack at the problem by building today what we would have liked to have back then, and to help clinics use it.Clinics send us their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures—forJun 10, 2025 3:09 PM

The first identifies the biggest space hogs that you could offload to reduce storage; the second separates your best shots from the mediocre and rubbish ones that you might want to delete.PhotoSort is available on the Mac App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739038077). The free version reveals your 30 largest files. The paid version ($5 for lifetime use) shows the full sorting and creates the two albums.

Show HN: OwnPlan – AI todo app that breaks down big goals into stepshttps://apps.apple.com/fr/app/ownplan/id6745399897?l=en-GBHi Everyone, I’m a solo dev who often got stuck on big, vague goals (“launch a project”, “write a thesis”). Most todo apps just gave me a checklist, but never helped me figure out how to start. So I built OwnPlan: - Enter any big goal - AI instantly breaks it down into actionable steps - Organize with lists, Today view, weekly reports - Minimalist UI, no clutter Built with Flutter, multi-model AI backend with intelligence select algrithom base on the task u enter(Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenAI), and local storage (Hive). No ads, no tracking. Would love feedback from anyone who’s struggled with starting big projects or wants smarter todo tools!Jun 2, 2025 8:45 PM
