Show HN: Riley – Content That Sounds Like You, Not Like AIhttps://rileywrites.aiWorking for a US company with several, very different, lines of business taught me how difficult it is to post on social media consistently and keeping the essence of each brand in all posts. Standard AI tools helped me get the first draft, but that was it. I would spend hours editing the output to make it sound a bit more like me, but in the end this was more time-consuming than starting from a blank page. Tired of choosing between consistency and maintaining the brand’s essence and my voice, I built Riley. My goal was to teach AI how I sound and the essence of each brand to remove endless prompts and constant tweaking, keep creative momentum, and make content creation a smooth and enjoyable process. Riley learns from previous content you’ve written to generate pieces that sounds like you, not like AI. You can import examples (LinkedIn posts, website copy, social media, etc.), define context with @context-pills for background, audience, and style, and refine with feedback and comments

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
