Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shapehttps://www.cutmuse.com/Hi HN,A few months ago, I started building Cutmuse after hearing the same thing over and over from friends and family:“I never know what haircut suits me.”The idea was to create a tool that uses AI and facial analysis to recommend personalized haircuts, hair colors, and even glasses based on each user’s unique features.You upload a photo (no login required or payment for the free version), and within minutes get a custom style report that includes:Haircuts that fit your face shapeHair color suggestions based on your skin toneEyewear styles that match your proportionsAnd optional grooming/skincare tipsThis isn't like Instagram filters or beauty apps that overlay random looks. What makes Cutmuse different is the depth of the analysis. It applies real visagism principles — a method used in professional image consulting — combined with facial landmark detection and color analysis to give you results that are not just aesthetic, but structured.We're currently live with users in 10+ countrieJun 22, 2025 4:56 AM

Show HN: MyLineArts – Turn Photos into Bobbie Goods-Style Line Art for Paintinghttps://mylinearts.comHey HN, I built MyLineArts (mylinearts.com) for anyone who wants to paint their own art but needs a clean, inspiring starting point. It’s a simple web app that takes any photo you upload—your kid’s drawing, a family portrait, a cool landscape—and transforms it into a minimalist, Bobbie Goods-style line art outline, ready for you to paint or color by hand.I love the flowing, single-line vibe of Bobbie Goods but found it tricky to create those outlines without pro-level art skills. MyLineArts does the work for you: upload a photo, adjust line style or detail if you like, and download a crisp PNG outline in seconds. It’s about giving you a canvas to make something uniquely yours with paints, markers, or crayons.You can:Turn your child’s sketch into a paintable masterpieceConvert a favorite photo into a fun coloring projectDownload a PNG ready to print and paintI’ve been tweaking this for months and finally got it ready to share. Try it at mylinearts.com and let me know what you think! CurJun 21, 2025 1:03 PM

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: I made SEO backlink exchange platform using vector embeddingshttps://www.babylovegrowth.ai/Hey HN,I’m a solopreneur and have been in the SaaS space for the past 3 years. My last three startups failed, and a common challenge in all of them was figuring out how to reach my audience. SEO always seemed like the answer, but I didn’t know where to start. It felt overwhelming...Soo many technical terms like keyword research, clustering, SERP, semantics, topical authority… I could go on.That’s where my idea for my next startup came from -> building SEO tool which runs on auto-pilot. The complexity of SEO is hidden behind a simple UI and everything happens automatically behind the scene, even publishing and backlink exchange! I have been working on it for the past 8 months and already have 500+ registered users (not all paying ofc) (mainly got them through reddit)My biggest bet (and competitor differentiator) is the ABC backlink exchange platform we just launched. With it, we are getting our customers 4-7 backlinks per month, naturally placed within articles. No more paying for backlJun 16, 2025 7:48 AM

Spent weeks building, not marketinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44013060Hey HN,We’ve spent the last few weeks pretty much glued to the computer, obsessing over product and ignoring everything else — including marketing. I just really wanted this to work.The project is ecomdesignlab.ai, an AI-powered fashion shoot generator. You upload clothing items, and it generates realistic model shots for ecommerce — no photo shoots needed.Until recently, our onboarding was way too limited. You could upload a fashion piece, but you had zero control over how it appeared — no way to pick the model’s pose, no background options. It worked, but it didn’t feel right, especially not for fashion founders who care a lot about brand and visual control.So I stayed off Twitter, off LinkedIn, off everything, and just built.Here’s what’s finally live:You can now choose poses and backgrounds before generating. This alone made the whole tool way more usable.Image generation time is now ~3 minutes, down from ~11 (which is still common in other tools).A cleaner, guided onboarding flow May 17, 2025 9:10 AM

Why Isn't There a One-Pager for Every Politician's Performance?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43976018Just dumping a thought here — I’d love to see a world where we can objectively evaluate politicians based on their goals, promises, and actions. We’re way past the point of relying on biased news outlets or viral social media clips to form opinions. With today’s tech and LLMs, we should be able to track political figures and hold them accountable.As someone with a data engineering background, I imagine a simple one-pager dashboard for any politician or political group — showing what topics they focus on and how they’re actually performing. The public deserves that. Right now, most people make emotional decisions based on what they hear in the news or see online. That’s not a healthy trajectory.May 13, 2025 6:20 PM

Show HN: I built an app that auto-shares your referral codes for passive rewardshttps://www.refer-app.com/Hi HN,I built REFER, a tool that helps people automatically share their referral codes where others are searching for them. It’s not a marketplace or a link tree—users just enter the codes they already have (for apps like Webull, Rakuten, Robinhood, etc.), and REFER distributes them for discoverability. The goal is to make it easier for people to earn from referral programs without constantly promoting links themselves.Why I built it: I noticed a lot of folks—including creators and casual users—have valuable referral codes sitting unused. Most people either don’t know where to post them, or they end up buried in social media bios or YouTube descriptions. I wanted to make something that quietly works in the background to surface these codes without requiring extra effort or marketing.I designed and built REFER solo. It uses Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, MongoDB, Stripe (for optional paid tiers), and Auth0 for authentication. All code is deployed on Vercel.What's different: All codes are May 8, 2025 1:03 PM

Show HN: RSS Launchpad – a tiny Firefox (mobile) RSS extension extractorhttps://github.com/ilya-m32/rss-launchpadHello there!I'm sharing a small Firefox extension that I created for my own use (and for fun, of course!). The extension partially restores the RSS support that was removed from major browsers a long time ago: it extracts (or derives) RSS feeds from pages and shows them in a nice way and easy to export to some external reader.Motive I've been reading HN for quite some time, and some articles there helped me rediscover RSS. Nowadays, it has become my top source for reading, especially on tech topics, helping me to focus and detox from social media.There are a few reasons for its existence compared to other extensions I was able to find, primarily:- I wanted an up-to-date extension with the fewest possible permissions (hence, no global background scripts, most FF extensions ask this). This extension can only access the active tab and only when it is used.- I aimed for a native look and feel, including Firefox for Android.- I wanted some special logic for websites that support RSS but hidApr 11, 2025 3:06 PM
