Show HN: Appstr for Indies managing lots of appshttps://www.appstr.ai/I have 11 apps in the Apple App store and 3 in Google Play store. Every time I submit a new app, I have to provide a privacy policy, a support URL, and some sort of product description page. Even more challenging, I had to keep track or customer reviews and submitted feedback because in the very early days of app launches, those first few reviews are the most critical and carry the most weight.So I built Appstr just as mini platform to quickly auto-generate multiple privacy policies (based on the app-specific data collection), host feedback forms to capture user suggestions and support issues, and a monitor to keep tabs on the reviews as they come in. It also sends me daily and weekly summary updates across all of my apps and also automatically groups the feedback and complaints so that I can prioritize the fixes and new features.I have made Appstr available to everyone because this seems like a pretty common problem that many app developers should be facing. While this could be done b

Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.

Show HN: Open-source general-purpose alternative to Exa Websetshttps://github.com/tinyfish-io/bigsetHey Everyone!So I get to spend most of my day tweaking and playing around with really powerful search engines at TinyFish (which is so awesome). I’ve recently been super fascinated by the idea of using a search engine recursively to build datasets.Been playing around with Exa’s WebSets product quite a bit and realized it was mainly focused on prospecting, and it creates datasets with a lot of missing data.So we built a fully open source project, that can build and update datasets on any topic.Datasets I have generated so far, “All products that Starbucks sells on amazon, with their price and if they are in stock”, “All theme parks in California, with ticket prices” , “All YC companies that are currently hiring for eng roles with their hiring page link” Would love for yall’s to try it out, and drop your thoughts, stars and feedback. Thanks!

Show HN: Scan2Sheet – Receipt Scanner to Google Sheets for easy expense trackinghttps://www.scan2sheet.comAfter several months of development and refinement, my mobile app, Scan2Sheet, is finally published and live on Apple Store and Play Store.The idea for Scan2Sheet came from a problem I had myself: managing piles of paper receipts for tax deductions and expense tracking. Manually entering receipt data into spreadsheets is time-consuming, tedious, and prone to errors. On top of that, paper receipts can easily be lost, damaged, or overlooked.With Scan2Sheet, simply take a photo of the receipt whenever making your purchases. In just a few clicks, the extracted expense data and a copy of the receipt image are automatically saved to your own Google Sheets document. There's minimal manual data entry, and no need to learn or manage another dashboard, database, or accounting system.Here are the links to download:- For IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scan2sheets/id6760991697- For Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.scan2s...The product's landing page: https://www.sc

Show HN: Sixbpm – a free thing that slows your breathing downhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48320579i made https://sixbpm.com with the help of an llm, im not an engineer by trade just someone whos suffered from burnout from cluster headaches and has struggled recently with rebound headaches.there is nothing to install, no account, just a web page.You lie down, put the phone face-down on your chest and tap start.It listens to your breathing through the accelerometer for a minute, then plays two tones - one for the inhale, one for the exhale - and slowly stretches them out until you're around six breaths a minute. Fifteen minutes total.Six breaths a minute is roughly the resonance frequency of your cardiovascular system. At that rate with a long exhale your heart rate variability, blood pressure, and breathing sync up and your vagal tone climbs. There's real research behind this going back to Lehrer and Vaschillo in the early 2000s. It's also what a $320 FDA-cleared device called RESPeRATE does and the patent expired, the protocol is in the public domain, it's two tones and a timer.Mos

Show HN: Monochess – A chess variant with rule-bending action cardshttps://monochess.pages.devHey HN,A while back I saw a video[0] of people playing chess but using action cards to modify the rules mid-game (skip turns, reverse, draw 2, etc.). It looked incredibly chaotic and really fun to play, so I decided to actually build it as a playable online game. A small difference in Monochess is there's no need to call out a phrase if you just have one piece. I noticed while testing with the mrs. it became really annoying to keep doing this every move.That also gave me a really good reason to build on Cloudflare using their entire stack, something I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with for quite some time. The app is built using SvelteKit and hosted on Pages, there's a Durable Object worker-backed game server, and D1 as the database layer for accounts/games.This project included:- A Custom Engine: Standard chess engines panic when forced into illegal board states. The engine wraps standard chess logic to allow for mid-turn state changes—handling concepts like rolling back a com

Show HN: I hand-write 5 daily word puzzles before workhttps://www.dailyworder.com/I build and hand-write five daily word puzzles at dailyworder.com. Every clue and answer for the dailies are mine — I use AI for the code and it's unlocked crazy speed on small but thorny problems.One technical detail as an example: Pyramid's editor (one of the five games) uses a ~350KB precomputed dataset of valid frameworks — grids where a single vowel, dropped into every slot, produces valid English words across all rows. Building the dataset was the actual work (combinatorial search over a 60k-word dictionary with constraint checks) but I did that in one session. Runtime is trivial: pick a framework, pick a vowel, render. Works offline. Don't think I could spend the time on it before LLMs.The other four:- Fourbe — Connections-style, but the connections are spelled out in crossword-style clues across four rounds- Spying Bee — Word find flipped on it's head where players must reveal letters before they can select- Invertle — word guesser with higher/lower hints- Totum — letter-tile s

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMshttps://github.com/oeo/monkdevI'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-play

Ask HN: Encouraging a child's gaming PC build despite fear of gaming addiction?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4826332112yo son is doing dedicated research on gaming PC parts and binge-watches videos on how to build (he's not a native English speaker and has no real electronics skills, so this is quite impressive tbh). Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictively engineered and GPU-hungry multiplayer games with his friends any day.He's a good kid all in all, actively engaged in competitive rowing, with good grades etc. Plays chess also (but all the other folks are FPSing or Minecrafting, so there's that).
