Show HN: Hazbin Hotel OC Maker – Create Original Characters with AIhttps://aiocmaker.com/oc-maker/hazbin-hotel-oc-makerHi HNI built a Hazbin Hotel OC Maker, an AI-powered tool that helps fans create original characters (OCs) inspired by the Hazbin Hotel universe.As a fan myself, I noticed that many creators struggle to turn vague ideas into a complete OC — especially when it comes to personality, backstory, visual traits, and tone consistency with the Hazbin Hotel style. Most tools focus only on images or only on text, so I wanted to combine both into a single workflow.What it doesGenerates original Hazbin Hotel–style characters (not existing canon characters)Helps define:Name & demon typePersonality traitsBackstory & motivationsVisual description suitable for artists or AI image toolsDesigned for writers, roleplayers, and artistsWorks entirely in the browser, no setup requiredWhy I made itI’m building a broader AI OC creation platform, and this is one of the first focused generators aimed at a specific fandom. Hazbin Hotel has a very distinct tone and aesthetic, which made it an interesting challenge Dec 14, 2025 5:56 AM

Ancient Martian brines left bromine rich fingerprints in jarosite mineralshttps://www.marsdaily.com/reports/Ancient_Martian_brines_left_bromine_rich_fingerprints_in_jarosite_minerals_999.htmlTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Jarosite, a sulfate mineral widely detected on Mars, records interaction between acidic, oxidizing waters and the planet's surface rocks, but the halogen chemistry of those fluids has been difficult to reconstruct. New experimental work examines how bromine and chlorine enter jarosite under Mars-like conditions, using them as tracers of fluid evolution and environmental conditions. ResearcDec 14, 2025 3:47 AM

Show HN: PlanEat AI, an AI iOS app for weekly meal plans and smart grocery listshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46254964Hi HN,I am Valerii and I have been working on PlanEat AI, an iOS app that builds fully personalized weekly meal plans with a smart grouped grocery list.The problem I am trying to solve is simple most people who want to eat better do not struggle with nutrition theory, they struggle with the daily questionswhat to cook today, how to keep it sustainable, and what to buy for the week.I tried Instagram and TikTok recipes, ChatGPT prompts, and existing meal planner apps. For me they failed in three places 1. low personalization I hate a bunch of ingredients, my wife hates a different bunch, and apps rarely adapt to that 2. they treat recipes and grocery lists as separate worlds 3. too many perfect recipes that do not fit real life time and local productsWhat PlanEat AI does now^ - builds a weekly meal plan based on goals, dislikes, available time and basic cooking equipment - generates simple step by step recipes using normal ingredients - creates a smart grocery list that is grouped by stoDec 13, 2025 2:57 PM
