A pink aesthetic wallpaper hub for makers/creators, with built-in AI edit toolshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46599320This might be a bit of an unconventional Show HN, but I think many of us here (myself included) are tired of generic default wallpapers or overly busy designs. We stare at our screens for so long, and a visual environment that feels calm or joyful can have a real impact on focus and mood.So, I built Pink Canvas (https://pinkcanvas.net).The core is simple: a curated library of pink-themed wallpapers. But I wanted to make it genuinely useful, particularly for the tinkerers and creators among us:Precise Curation: Walls are well-tagged (Kawaii, Floral, Minimalist, Fantasy, etc.) and by resolution (Mobile, Desktop, 4K). It saves the time of sifting through Pinterest or Unsplash for that specific look for a specific device.Built-in Maker Tools: Here's the key feature and why I'm posting it here. I integrated AI Generate and AI Edit tools directly into the site. You can take any wallpaper and, using natural language, ask it to "add a small cat in the corner" or "make it cyberpunk" to create a

Show HN: I built a lightweight AI tool to analyze visitor behaviorhttps://getallinsights.comI started working on this when I realized what's wrong with tools like FullStory. I work at a B2C iGaming company in product management. We use FullStory and it has been very helpful for watching session recordings to analyze customer behavior, but also for session replays during bug investigations.However, there are a couple of problems with it. It's very expensive and very heavy because it captures all DOM changes, so it slows down the experience of the end user. For these reasons you are forced to do heavy sampling, for example record only 10% of the sessions. Apart from that, you need to spend a lot of time watching session replays, and sometimes you cannot find the session you are interested in as it might not be included in the recorded sample.This was basically the trigger for the idea. I started working on building my own tool. The idea was to make it as simple and lightweight as possible, and focus on clarity rather than adding a lot of bloat.Also worth mentioning, I have noti

Show HN: I built a video-to-text tool – 10 min free daily, no signuphttps://harku.ioHi HN! I'm the founder of Harku (https://harku.io ), a video/audio transcription tool I've been working on for the past few months.The backstory: I was frustrated with existing transcription services - they either required expensive subscriptions upfront, had poor accuracy for non-English content, or forced you to create accounts just to try them. As someone who frequently works with meeting recordings and content in multiple languages, I needed something better.Technical approach: - Built on OpenAI's Whisper V3 (latest model) for 98.5% accuracy - GPU-optimized processing pipeline that transcribes 1-hour videos in ~2 minutes - Supports 100+ languages with automatic detection - No user data retention - files are deleted within 24 hoursWhat makes it different: - 10 minutes free daily without any signup (just drag and drop) - Works directly with YouTube URLs - no download needed - 500MB file limit even for free users (vs 100MB industry standard) - Clean exports without watermarks, even on

Show HN: Healthcare Price Comparison Toolhttps://app.openbook.healthHey HN,We spent 5 months turning technically "transparent" but practically useless hospital pricing data into something patients can actually use.The problem: Hospitals publish prices in massive CSV and JSON files (billions of rows, inconsistent formats, missing codes). Legally transparent, realistically worthless.What we found: Same colonoscopy costs $2,675 at one hospital, $7,431 at another in Florida. Same insurance. 3x difference.What we built: Simple tool to compare 100+ procedures across Florida hospitals, filtered by insurance.Still very early (Florida only, lots of rough edges), but would love HN's feedback: - What am I missing? - How would you improve this? - Is this solving a real problem?Technical details about the data wrangling happy to share in comments if anyone's interested in that nightmare.Thanks for any feedback!

Show HN: SHAde – A tool that turns Git Commit Hashes into deterministic Arthttps://github.com/LalwaniPalash/SHAdeUnderstood. Hacker News requires a different approach. The audience is technical, skeptical of hype, and appreciates conciseness. The tone should be direct and informative, letting the project's technical merit speak for itself.The convention is to post a link with a title, and then add a comment immediately with more details. Here are the two components for your post.1. The Hacker News Title Use the Show HN: prefix. The title needs to be a factual, one-sentence summary of what the project is.Title: Show HN: SHAde – A tool that turns Git commit hashes into deterministic art2.

phototopixel.art
Show HN: I just built a tool to turn any photo into pixel arthttps://www.phototopixel.art/Hey everyone,I'm excited to share a brand new side project I just finished building: phototopixel.art. It's a simple web tool that automatically converts any photo you upload into pixel art.I've always been a fan of the aesthetic of pixel art, but manually creating it is a tedious process. After trying out some existing tools and not being fully satisfied with the results, I decided to build my own. My goal was to create a fast and easy-to-use solution that consistently produces great-looking pixel art.Behind the Scenes The core of the tool uses a combination of color quantization and pixelation algorithms. When you upload a photo, the system analyzes its color data and reduces it to a limited palette, while simultaneously creating the iconic blocky look.One of the biggest challenges was fine-tuning the balance between preserving key details and achieving a genuine pixel art feel. I experimented a lot with the algorithm to find the sweet spot, allowing users to choose different setting

Show HN: Toolbox: Run FFmpeg, Imagemagick, 7Zip and Friends in the Browserhttps://toolbox.computer/I got sick of sketchy online converter sites that phone home and may keep your files and walking non-technical friends through brew/apt/choco installs every time they need ffmpeg or imagemagick and telling them what command to run.So I built Toolbox, a 100% open source site that compiles my most-used command-line tools to WebAssembly and runs them fully client-side: - FFmpeg (video + audio) - ExifTool (metadata) - 7-Zip (archive/zip/rar/7z) - ImageMagick - PandocRoadmap: - Batch mode - Shareable presets. Complex commands can be saved as URLs so you can send a one-click recipe to a friend, inspired by cyberchef - GPU acceleration via WebGPU someday? (mostly looking at ffmpeg, maybe with WebCodec)Source: https://github.com/akshetpandey/toolbox (MIT licensed)I’d love feedback, bug reports, and requests for other tools. If it helps you ditch shady sites or long install docs, mission accomplished.

Show HN: Semcheck – AI Tool for checking implementation follows spechttps://github.com/rejot-dev/semcheckHi HN, like many I've been interested in the direction software engineering is taking now that coding LLMs are becoming prevalent. It seems that we're not quite there for "natural language programming", but it seems new abstractions are already starting to form. In order to explore this further I've built semcheck (semantic checker). It's a simple cli tool that can be used in CI or pre-commit to check that your implementation matches your specification using LLMs.The inspiration came while I was working on another project where I needed a data structure for a GeoJSON object, I passed Claude the text of RFC-7946 and it gave me an implementation. It took some back and forth after that before I was happy with it, but this also meant the RFC went out of context for the LLM. That's why I asked Claude again to check the RFC to make sure we haven't strayed too far from the spec. It occurred to me that it would be good to have a formal way of defining these kinds of checks that can be run in a
