Show HN: OwnPlan – AI todo app that breaks down big goals into stepshttps://apps.apple.com/fr/app/ownplan/id6745399897?l=en-GBHi Everyone, I’m a solo dev who often got stuck on big, vague goals (“launch a project”, “write a thesis”). Most todo apps just gave me a checklist, but never helped me figure out how to start. So I built OwnPlan: - Enter any big goal - AI instantly breaks it down into actionable steps - Organize with lists, Today view, weekly reports - Minimalist UI, no clutter Built with Flutter, multi-model AI backend with intelligence select algrithom base on the task u enter(Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenAI), and local storage (Hive). No ads, no tracking. Would love feedback from anyone who’s struggled with starting big projects or wants smarter todo tools!Jun 2, 2025 8:45 PM

Ask HN: Why are dating apps so bad? Why hasn't anyone made a good one?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44154162Almost all dating apps that have achieved the exponentially growing network effect have been acquired and subsequently enshittified by Match Group. The intent of these apps is to keep you single and spending money. I think Bumble is the only large scale independent app but they've managed to enshittify themselves too.So let's assume there is a deficit in the market for dating apps that are actually good. So why hasn't one been made?Definition of a good dating app: An app with no dark patterns where you can find dates and relationships.Ideas:- By internet standards, the market is so mature people aren't motivated to download another app. You're never going to get enough of a positive feedback loop from the network effect.- No one has made a good app yet.- A majority of humans aren't compatible with online dating for one reason or another. Maybe they prefer dating in person. Maybe they're unattractive (physically or personality wise), bad at selecting partners, egotistical, selfish, lazyJun 1, 2025 10:19 PM

Tell HN: eBay doesn't allow changing countryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44140192On 2025-05-30, I received an email from eBay saying "Peter, are you still using your account?"I got a security code by email, and successfully spoke to a nice man from Florida on the phone.I noticed that my address has changed, because my parents sold their house in France and moved to New Zealand. So I updated my address as well.On 2025-05-31, I received another email from suspension@ebay.com saying "MC092 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay - peterburk"The first thing I did when I turned 18 years old was to open accounts on eBay and PayPal using my old iBook G3 (before even going downstairs to open birthday presents).And now all my 88 positive reviews are for nought, because eBay blocked me.If anybody reads this, please let me know an email address in eBay so I can contact a real human to verify that my account is real.This is not AI, this is not a drill, this is the real world and life is just a little complicated.May 30, 2025 9:49 PM

Tasks Per Day – A minimalist productivity app that workshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44133072Built a Flutter app that limits you to 3 daily tasks. No feature bloat, no subscriptions, just focus on what matters. Born from a Reddit discussion about simple living.The ProblemMost productivity apps suffer from feature creep. They start simple but gradually add calendars, teams, AI assistants, notifications, analytics, and eventually become the very complexity they promised to solve. I was drowning in a 20-item daily to-do list when I found a Reddit thread in r/simpleliving discussing the "three tasks rule."The Solution3 Tasks Per Day does exactly what the name suggests. Each day, you choose three tasks that matter most. That's it.Core features:1. Plan 3 tasks per day (morning/afternoon/evening) 2. Optional calendar sync with device reminders 3. Task completion with subtle celebration 4. Future planning with calendar view 5. Dark/light themes 6. Privacy-first (no accounts, local storage)Intentionally missing:1. Teams/collaboration 2. Complex project management 3. Time tracking 4. DeMay 30, 2025 5:09 AM

Ask HN: Stopping YC backed business from advertizing fake jobs at my companyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44113672A business, claiming to be backed by YC is sending me 5 to 10 unsolicited job applications per day from candidates who have been told that my company in Vietnam is hiring.I have no plans to hire anyone, not least in the roles that they applied for, and feel sorry that the candidates have wasted their time. Sending a spam application would put them on my blacklist anyway.I am hesitant to reply to the emails as I thought they were some sort of phishing scam at first and would just mark me as a positive responder, resulting in more phishing / spam. Though I signed up with a fake email and it seems that they are actually trying to build a job site business at www.featurii.com.The site asks users to connect their Gmail account then appears to spam me as the user, meaning that I can't just block the domain. I am also concerned about supposed mistreatment of candidates damaging my business image.How would you approach getting them to stop?May 28, 2025 7:53 AM

Ask HN: What projects do you donate to?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44071321With the Internet rapidly undergoing its corpocene mass extinction event, the few initiatives trying to keep the web and the software ecosphere habitable depends mostly on individual contributions.Traditionally, advertising your charitable contributions might be seen as distasteful virtue signalling for which one has already earned their reward. However, I think in the cultural context of digital initiatives, it’s actually helpful and quite important to show off what you have been donating to, it is a much stronger signal to draw people’s attention to important projects by word of mouth.Thus, this thread is intended to be a celebration of your personal contributions to initiatives towards digital freedom.Think of it as an “MyAnimeList for donations”, or a “Goodreads for open projects”, list out which projects you personally have your sights on you think are important that other people also hear about.Examples:- the Blender project: a lifeline to rescue creative professionals from the cMay 23, 2025 9:33 AM

When a Giant Sells You a Ghosthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44050279In today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name. The agreement involved financing the acquisition of a specialised high-performance server, sold as new, state-of-the-art, and mission-ready.What they received was a system that, within days of installation, failed to operate as advertised. Investigations revealed indications that the equipment had been previously used, and internal communications suggested that even the supplier’s own staff were aware of problems.But here’s the true outrage: the financing contract — designed by the supplierMay 21, 2025 11:22 AM

How to Fix the Gaming Industryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44038154Hey everyone! For some time now, I have been observing how some practices in the gaming industry are increasingly moving away from the interests of players.So I decided to collect the most common pain points and put them in the form of a simple, clear “Gaming Industry Consumer Bill of Rights.” These are 12 principles that, in my opinion, should become the standard if we want a fairer and more transparent market. I have tried to approach the subject sensibly, from a player’s perspective, but also without hostility towards creators.Share your thoughts – what would you change, add, or remove?§1. Prohibition on remastering young games A remaster/remake may be released no sooner than 8 years after the original's release.§2. Prohibition on deleting original versions of games after the release of a remaster/remake. The original must still be available in digital distribution.§3. The remaster must contain the original. By purchasing the remaster, the player must have access to the original verMay 20, 2025 5:43 AM
