Ask HN: Calorie Trackershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362413Hi HN. Trying to get into calorie tracking. Only tried MyFitnessPal. Looking to strike a balance between being concious about what I eat and tracking with a reasonable degree of accuracy and flexibility (e.g. eating out).Interested in hearing what other people’s experiences with calorie tracking have been like and lessons

Show HN: Pack AI and scientific models as self-contained boxeshttps://github.com/suffro/scrollcaseHi! I've been working on an open-source project called Scrollcase. I started this cause moving Python or ML projects between machines is often painful. You need the right Python version, libraries, native builds, model files, and so on. So instead of making someone rebuild a Python environment on their machine, Scrollcase packages everything once, including Python, locked dependencies, code, and model files.Then they can verify it, unpack it, and run it. No Python install, no pip install, no Docker, and no dependency to mantain. You just define what goes inside, lock the dependencies, and build a portable, self-contained, verifiable package that's ready to run.Would love feedback from people who had to package Python, ML, or scientific environments for machines they don't control.

Show HN: MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/Hi HN, author here.Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots.I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on the phone).The newest part is Privacy Mode, and it exists because after an earlier release someone told me in plain terms they'd never use it because, rightfully, they didn't want the LLM provider to see everything on their screen! So now a combination of a small local model plus deterministic detectors identify personal information (emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, national IDs, English names,

Show HN: Infinitely nestable visual task organizer and workload simulatorhttps://projectzen.com/homeI built ProjectZen because ordinary task managers often show what needs doing, but not whether the accumulated workload is realistic.The homepage includes a working demo, no login required. I’d especially value feedback on whether the workload view makes sense without explanation and whether it would change how you plan a real project.This project is personally interesting to me because, as a product manager for many years, I never found a tool with the usability and visual workload simulation I knew was possible. Without the latter, I felt disoriented and more helpless when it came to being pressured into scope creep. ProjectZen was created as a side project using Angular, Django, Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, and Firebase Authentication.The tool includes Infinite nesting for breaking down projects and tasks (inspired by tools like Workflowy and Dynalist) Displaying items in kanban boards Visualization of tasks based on size and simulation of overall workload over time Also inc

I'm so f-n tired of the Internet It has become the worst placehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49361760Today, my 3-year-old Reddit account has been banned for no reason. They deleted all my posts and comments as well. Yesterday, the website I invested years of my time in SEO into was nuked by Google and lost its position overnight due to new anti-spam policies that rolled in. A month ago, on another project, I missed an email from a payment processing provider and lost payments and all revenue, only because Gmail put the most important email in spam. Nothing works well in this fucking shthle. I'm sick of that.

Show HN: Anonymous age verification with passkey-powered encryptionhttps://loginwithone.com/This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present.tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be issued to requesting applications (18+, no PII shared) without requiring users to re-upload their documents. The SSO user experience is built on top of the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow.https://loginwithone.com - demo video + high-level architecture + FAQI also made the parody demo apps from the video public if anyone wants to play around with the user experience:https://demo.brainrot.loginwithone.com
