Show HN: Fundhog – A Ko-Fi Alternative for Accepting Crypto DonationsI’m thrilled to share Fundhog, a platform I built to let creators, developers, and nonprofits accept cryptocurrency donations directly. It’s like Ko-fi, but for Web3, supporting Ethereum, Polygon, and other EVM-compatible chains—with no middleman. Every transaction happens straight between the donor and creator.Why FundHog?Fiat platforms charge steep fees and limit access. Fundhog uses blockchain for direct, low-fee, transparent donations. Here’s the scoop: Button Builder: I added a simple tool so creators can design their own donation buttons. Pick size (small/medium/large), border radius, and colors to match your site, then grab the embed code.No Middleman: Funds go directly from donor to creator. I don’t handle your crypto—Fundhog just connects wallets.Easy Embedding: The ~1KB embed.js script adds your button to any site (HTML, React, etc.) in minutes.Multi-Chain: Donors pay via MetaMask or similar on Ethereum, Polygon, and more. Chain detection ensures a smooth flow.Secure: A light

Show HN: An AI-powered swingers dating appHi HN community,I’m excited to share Venus (TakeMeToVenus.com), a project we’ve been working on to foster more meaningful connections within ethical non-monogamy.Why we're building Venus?Non-monogamy is a rich tapestry woven through human history. To put it simply, humans love sex.From the polyamorous practices of ancient indigenous societies to the consensual multi-partner relationships in historical religious sects, loving more than one has always been part of our story.The free love movement of the 1960s reignited this flame, challenging societal norms and celebrating love in all its forms.Fast forward to today, and digital platforms have thrust non-monogamy into the spotlight, making it more visible and accepted than ever before.Yet amid this surge of easy access to others, we’ve lost sight of something essential: meaning.When you’re on Venus, it’s not about more connections, it’s about better connections (and better sex).1. It's an evening social networkVenus operates within a uni
Quit my career as a doctor. Terrible environment at homeI belong to a middle class family. This is the second attempt at a start up, with the previous one being a Telemedicine Platform which I started in my final years of med school. Everything seemed fine until medical insurance companies seemed to block the path of investment as in the country of Georgia they run the healthcare industry through a lobbyist monopoly .

My parents now have stopped supporting me financially which I don’t blame them for as I have wasted a lot of their money wasting an entire semester due to injuries and money to develop my first app, all so they could see me become a doctor, although I haven’t quit medicine and can pursue it anytime. But my parents are pushing 60 with health problems and have sacrificed so much for me and reason why despite i
Show HN: Non-Lead Pickleball Weights – Material Science FTWMy buddies and I love playing pickleball and also nerded out to make some non-lead pickleball weights. We use a copper suspended in a polymer to make flexible, non-toxic weights. Took vacation to attend a wedding in Brazil, so you can also see them photo'd in some amazing locations. We originally just wanted to make them to get the lead out of the game, but we found that they were more shock-absorbative than their lead predecessors. We ship them out of Idaho. If anyone wants them, we'd love to get you some!
