Show HN: DepositGenie – stop unfair deductions with photos and AI reportsHey everyone! I’m a solo founder building a tool I wish I’d had years ago.If you’ve ever rented a place, you’ve probably worried about your security deposit. You take move-in photos, cross your fingers at move-out, and hope the landlord doesn’t decide the scuff on the wall is “$400 worth of damage.” I’ve been there..and it sucks.That’s why I built DepositGenie: Deposit Armor — an iOS app that helps renters actually keep their deposits by making documentation dead simple.What it does: - Organize your move-in and move-out photos by room, with timestamps and notes.- AI highlights possible deductions, like comparing before/after shots and flagging what looks new or changed.- Export everything into a clean, court-ready report if you need to dispute charges.- Track key deadlines so you don’t miss refund windows or inspection dates.Basically, it’s a pocket-sized armor kit for renters.Why now:More people are renting than ever, and most of us don’t know what to do when deductions happen.You don

Show HN: Generate chargeback responses using LLMsHey HN!We built a free tool to help businesses generate chargeback responses using LLMs. Most businesses lose chargebacks because they don’t know what the bank reviewers want to see, not because they did anything wrong. We wanted to build something that gets them as close as possible to a good response without them needing to know anything about chargebacks.The way it works is you can upload whatever context and supporting docs you have for a chargeback. We use LLMs first to judge how to make the case better, and then to generate a PDF document with the final response.We were surprised by how good LLMs are at this. One of the hardest parts about writing a response is taking a bunch of scattered info (emails, terms of service, tracking info, etc.) and turning it into a clear story with arguments. We were expecting to need a lot of prompting to get this to work, but it turns out that models do well with just some basic guidelines and examples.We’d love for you to try it out and let us kn

Hubble Observes a Peculiar Galaxy ShapeThis NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals the galaxy, NGC 4694. Most galaxies fall into one of two basic types. Spiral galaxies are young and energetic, filled with the gas needed to form new stars and sporting spiral arms that host these hot, bright youths. Elliptical galaxies have a much more pedestrian look, and their […]

Six Adapters for Crewed Artemis Flights Tested, Built at NASA MarshallAs a child learning about basic engineering, you probably tried and failed to join a square-shaped toy with a circular-shaped toy: you needed a third shape to act as an adapter and connect them both together. On a much larger scale, integration of NASA’s powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and the Orion spacecraft for […]

Launch HN: Metriport (YC S22) – Open-source API for healthcare data exchangeHey HN, Dima and Colin here from Metriport (https://www.metriport.com/), an open-source platform that makes it easy for healthcare organizations to access and exchange medical data for their patients. We support all major healthcare IT systems in the US. Try out our product and watch a demo video here: https://docs.metriport.com/medical-api/getting-started/quick.... Oh and here's our github: https://github.com/metriport/metriport.If you’ve been to doctors in the US, you may have encountered the problem: how does a healthcare provider get access to your up-to-date medical history to treat you properly? Reliance on archaic methods is still the norm: typically you, or your provider, need to call the facilities where you’ve previously received treatment (assuming you remember them all), just to have them send your records via fax (yep, fax). This can take weeks, only then to have a provider sift through hundreds of pages of unstructured docs, just to figure out basic things like your activ

Ask HN: Help extract address lookup call from Spectrum's website?I noticed when I go to Spectrum's opt-out page (https://www.spectrum.com/policies/your-privacy-rights-opt-out) it fetches my exact address in the background (down to the apartment number) before I've filled anything in. In Chrome or Firefox you can just hit F12 and choose the "Network" tab before loading the site, scroll halfway down to click on the 'tnt.js?userProfile=' request, and look at the "Response" data to see your address.Inconveniently, it doesn't fill in the form to save customers' some unnecessary typing. I would like to turn this into a more general lookup service, making a few requests in a command-line python program instead of opening a browser, but I'm having trouble figuring out what sequence of requests, headers, and post data is needed to get it to work in isolation. Nothing malicious here, it would just help to know when remote employees have moved and forgotten to update HR.It seems it first does a basic GeoIP request to (https://www.spectrum.com/bin/spectrum/resi

Launch HN: ElectroNeek (YC W20) – Automatically find and automate routine workHey Hacker News! We are Sergey Yudovsky, Dmitry Karpov and Mike Rozhin, founders of ElectroNeek (https://electroneek.com), an automation platform for repetitive business tasks. The product we build let users design software ‘robots’ that imitate human actions in apps and websites, and deploy them to eliminate routine work. Our software also spots patterns of repetitive processes that users do in business app and suggests what to automate in the first place.Some of you may have heard of a technology niche called Robotic Process Automation, or RPA. Basically, it’s about automating user actions on Graphic User Interface level, so no API is needed to automate any type of repetitive work on the computer. It has been known for 20+ years in the software testing space but emerged as a business process automation tool over the last decade, getting big momentum in Enterprise (95% of Fortune 500 use it for back-office task automations). If you know what Selenium is and how it automates work in br

Show HN: AI Game PlaytesterHey everyone! Wanted to show off a little side project I've been working on. A lot of people have been using AI to one-shot games, but they're often quite buggy - glitchy graphics, collisions aren't setup, or regressions in earlier levels. With an AI playtester in the loop, I've been able to one-shot games like Candy Crush or Crossy Road that would previously have bugs like cut-off UIs or stuck retries.The way it works basically goes like this:1/ The playtester starts by reading the code to understand what its parent AI is asking it to play, and to decide what breakpoints, hooks and logging to add 2/ The playtester sets up the scene with the needed environment 3/ The playtester sends a sequence of inputs, then pauses the game 4/ The playtester then uses a vision model to understand the scene, queries the hooks it initially set up, and reads the logs to decide what to do nextAfter doing a few input loops, it then determines if the game is working, the game is broken, or if the test fail

You Don't Need AI to Generate CodeHi Guys, I'm going to make a heretical statement. It's this: you don't need AI to generate code and you shouldn't use AI to generate code.Instead I believe AI should be used to elicit the user requirements and the AI can then be used to generate a specification from which code can be mapped to produce code deterministically. We were doing this in a simplified form in the 1980s. If you think this is relevant as an alternative to vibe coding and agentic engineering. Let me know I can show you how all of this works and why it is important in 2026 and beyond. Yes, I am actually that old, but I have a view on the fundamental basics of software engineering. I feel like a survivor of a lost civilisation that has been washed away and forgotten. My approach brings together formal methods and AI in a way that was impossible back in the day. But... now that we have the compute and proper AI, not just IKBS, we can focus on generating a specification and not the code. A specification that can persi

Show HN: Active Source of Truth for Your Coding AgentsHowdy! Happy Saturday everyone!As a solo founder, I have always tried to maximize my speed by letting coding agents build as much as possible in parallel. However, as an engineer, I don't trust that AI will always make the right decisions and work with the right context. In the past, I always needed to click through my sessions to glance at the AI's output, try to understand what it was doing, and hopefully steer it or stop it in time.As a result, the maximum number of concurrent sessions I could manage at once was only 4. I didn't want to be the bottleneck, so I built Meetless Agent (MLA). It basically does what I had to do manually before:- Monitors the coding agent's tasks and actions to supply it with the correct, up-to-date context.- Continuously reconciles running information (such as provided/tagged documentation, the agent's output, and the agent's decisions) to actively maintain the source of truth at all times.- Keeps track of the current rules for the repo, and if an action

Show HN: Anjadhe – privacy first AI assistant, no account, no server DBHi HN, I am Ram. For the last few months I have been building Anjadhe. It is a personal AI assistant for macOS. The main idea is simple: A macOS app where AI does the job of a personal assistant for the user. Not a chat only app where user needs to dig through chats to understand today’s schedule or a project they planned with the ai last week, but a canvas where the user and AI work together around basic tools.I started building this as DYI tool for myself, but at this point I see that its truly useful for me, so sharing with others to see if it can be useful to others too.Here is a quick Demo - https://www.anjadhe.com/demoWhat it can do today:- It reads your incoming email and files the important things: bills with due dates, renewals, receipts, deliveries. A bill becomes a task with a date, by itself. Two booking emails become one trip. - You set goals by talking to it, not by filling forms. It asks you questions, makes a plan with dated tasks. Later you can say "work got crazy, pus

Show HN: Deploy apps with agents, no humans requiredHi HN, we built Compartment with a simple idea in mind: deployment should be as simple as possible. Just write this to Claude or Codex: “Deploy this app to up.compartment.dev.” Your agent authorizes itself, inspects any existing deployment files or generates the necessary configuration, builds and deploys your app, then gives you a URL. Basically, Compartment is built for agents, and humans don’t need to interact with it in any way. I believe this is how software will work in the next couple of years.

Show HN: AI-generated music box version of any song (for baby)title basically covers it. project #2 from my paternity leave. My partner & I got frustrated with hearing Brahm's Lullaby and Wheels On The Bus repeatedly. I also stand by that babies can enjoy adult music just as easily as they can enjoy "kids music". But most adult music is too dense/complex for babies to understand, so I created this to generate baby-friendly, slowed down versions of songs that we like to play for our baby & sing along with.Uses BS-roformer for stemming out the input audio + spotify Basic Pitch for transposing to midi. Still needs some work, kinda sounds like a drunk little music box version of the original but very fun.
