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. My third question is for anyone who knows about ECG analJun 16, 2025 10:41 PM

Show HN: A server that gives AI tools like ls/diff/cat to explore github reposhttps://github.com/BaoNguyen09/github-second-brainHi HN,I want to share a recent project that was born out of a personal struggle.Roughly two months ago, I was trying to contribute to a large open-source project to gain more experience. The repo was just too big for a first-timer, and I felt completely overwhelmed. I wanted to use an AI assistant to help me navigate, but I had no good way to provide the necessary context.So, I built a tool to solve this: a self-hosted mcp server that gives an AI client a set of tools to explore and understand GitHub repos on its own.My first attempt was naive: I used a library to ingest the whole codebase into a single text file and dump it to the AI. As you can guess, this immediately exceeded the context window limit for any reasonably sized project.The better approach, and the one this tool uses, is to let the AI explore the code on demand. I gave it tools to fetch a directory tree, get the content of any file or folder, diff any two branches/commits/tags, and pull context from issues/PRs. This worJun 16, 2025 4:05 PM

Show HN: BatchShots – In-browser batch editor for image and SEO optimizationhttps://www.batchshots.com/enMy aunt runs a small side business selling handmade figures, which means she takes a lot of photos. I became her photo editor, and the job was always the same: fix dark images, remove background clutter, find the best shot from a group of duplicates, and get them ready for her online store.The manual work was slow. It wasn't just photo editing, it was also getting the images ready for the web. I had to resize and compress them, then create SEO-friendly filenames (slugs) and product descriptions to help her store show up in search results.I started with Photoshop and Lightroom, but the process was slow. I tried open-source tools like GIMP and wrote my own scripts with ImageMagick, but it was still not fast or easy enough. I needed one tool for everything: batch processing, AI-powered improvements, image optimization (compression + resizing), and generating SEO content. So, I built BatchShots.Here's a quick look at how it was built:- I began with the backend, experimenting with various oJun 16, 2025 11:39 AM

Show HN: Get nutrition labels for any recipe (YouTube, Website, Text, Image)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44284234Heya HN,I love watching cooking videos on YouTube, and one day an idea sparked: Can I instantly get the nutritional values for this recipe?The problem: Great recipes are everywhere, but figuring out the actual nutrition is a chore.Most of us who track calories or macros have to:* Manually get nutritional info for every ingredient.* Wrestle with spreadsheets for calculation.* Or just give up and eat that lasagna.Let’s be real: no one enjoys that, especially when you just want to cook and eat your food.So I built Recp.ai. It’s a free tool that pulls the nutrition data for you. Just give it a YouTube link, a recipe from a website, a photo of a cookbook page, or even just pasted text. It identifies the ingredients and quantities, matches them against the USDA database, and gives you a full nutrition label.It started as a script to pull ingredients from YouTube transcripts using Gemini. Then I got obsessed. Why not any website? So I added a scraper. What about any list of ingredients? AddedJun 15, 2025 6:53 PM

Show HN: A Liquid Glass UI Generator for Web (not just basic glassmorphism)https://glass.danilofiumi.it/Hey HN!I just built Liquid Glassifier: a tool that brings Apple’s new Liquid Glass aesthetic (introduced in iOS 26) to the web, with simplicity and actual depth.I’m not a designer, but I do appreciate when things look and feel right and Liquid Glass... It’s just cool.Lately, I’ve seen "Liquid Glass" thrown around online, but most of it ends up being just the usual glassmorphism — frosted blurs, translucent layers, and surface-level mimicry. It might look like glass at a glance, but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s static, shallow, and boring.Apple’s take is something different: It moves, adapts, and feels alive and 3D.Liquid Glassifier makes it easy to recreate and export your custom button for the web using a intuitive interface- Realistic refraction using dynamic distortion (May not fully work in Safari due limited support to backdrop-filter and SVG filter) - Works in both dark and light scenarios, with smart contrast options - Ships as a Web Component — plug it into any React, Vue, or Jun 15, 2025 4:23 PM
