Show HN: Trott – search,sort,extract social media videos(ig,yt,tiktok)https://trott.hattimatimlabs.inI built Trott out of frustration with my own “Saved” folders on Instagram and YouTube. I’d save reels and shorts—workout tips, recipes, travel spots—thinking I’d find them again later. But, like most people, I ended up with a black hole of unsorted videos: no search, no filters, and if I ever did find the right video again, I’d have to dig through the whole thing just to get that one detail I needed.When I tried looking for solutions, I found only genre-specific apps or tools that demanded manual uploads or new workflows. None felt like they understood how real users behave or save content. So I decided to build Trott.What makes Trott different?You can share any Instagram Reel or YouTube Short (TikTok support launches next week) to Trott, straight from your phone’s native share menu—no manual uploads.Trott uses AI to extract relevant info automatically (ingredients, places, products, etc.) and sorts everything for you.It’s fully searchable with natural language.

Show HN: Coinstate View crypto prices across multiple exchangeshttps://coinstate.coHey HN,Last month, I wanted to buy some Bitcoin and noticed something strange: the price was different on every exchange. Unlike the stock market, crypto doesn’t have one official price.I tried using CoinMarketCap and other sites to compare prices, but they didn’t really help. So, I built Coinstate a simple, free tool that lets you see and compare live crypto prices from many exchanges in one place.It currently pulls data from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, KuCoin, HTX, Bybit, and Gate.io, with Crypto.com and Gemini coming soon. You can filter by trading pair, sort by price, and see near real-time updates, no signups, ads, or paywalls.It’s a small side project, but it’s helped me find better prices when buying or selling. I’d love your feedback or ideas for improvement.You can also sort by highest last, bid, or ask price. Here’s an example for Bitcoin: https://coinstate.co/compare/btc?sort=lastPriceOct 14, 2025 4:21 PM

Show HN: Free API to extract PDF datahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45581760Hi HN,Like everyone, I'm working on an product that uses LLMs to extract data from photos and documents. Part of the processing pipeline is extracting data from PDFs as raw text or a raster image.As part of our leadgen strategy, we've opened our REST API that lets you process pages of a PDF. The API is completely free to use anonymously, but is rate limited to 1 page per 30 seconds. Creating a free account removes this restriction.The two endpoints are:- https://extract.dev/api/pages/extract/raster - Rasterize a page of a PDF- https://extract.dev/api/pages/extract/text - Extract text from a page of a PDFBoth have the same request format: { "file": "https://assets.extract-cdn.com/data/hd-receipt.pdf", "page": 1 } I've outlined more of the documentation here: https://extract.dev/docsUnder the hood, the API is using Poppler to extract text and rasterize pages. Note that the text extraction functionality extracts actual text encoded in the PDF, and does not employ an OCR model. Give it a sOct 14, 2025 4:10 PM

Show HN: A modern and dynamic AI chatbot that converts your visitorshttps://orchis.appTL;DR: We built an embeddable AI agent that turns any website into an interactive, knowledge-driven platform. Upload PDFs or docs, and the agent answers user questions contextually. Unlike typical chatbots, it knows your visitors and can offer or show dynamic contents.Problem: Most websites rely on static FAQs or generic chatbots. Users leave confused, conversion rates drop, and support load grows. Traditional chatbots often require external APIs and are limited in context-awareness.Solution: Our On-Page AI Agent embeds directly into your website. It: • References PDFs, documentation, and custom content. • Provides contextual, personalized answers. • Reduces support load and increases engagement. • Can be styled and placed anywhere on the site.Key Metrics / Early Results: • Increased trial signup rates by 25–30% for early adopters. • Reduced support tickets by 20%. • Fully self-serve deployment in under 2 minutes.We’re looking for early testers and feedback from SaaS founders.

Show HN: Tabsdata – Pub/Sub for Tables to Replace ETL Pipelineshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45569167Hi HN,I am one of the founders of Tabsdata, a new system for data integration built around publish/subscribe for tables.Tabsdata is a self-managed system you can deploy in your own environment. It is built in Rust for performance and safety, with Python bindings for expressing data flows. You get both a browser-based UI and a CLI that covers the full surface area of the platform.We started this project after spending nearly two decades in data integration. Over that time, we have seen the modern data stack emerge in layers: ingestion, preparation, quality, productization, and so on. Many of those layers were designed to handle semi-structured data and schema drift. But that complexity often left data teams with brittle workflows and limited visibility.One of the key lessons for us was this: no matter how data starts out, it always turns into tables. APIs, logs, Parquet files, event streams - everything eventually lands in tabular form. So we made tables the first-class unit in the systOct 13, 2025 3:08 PM

Show HN: Aidlab – Health Data for Devshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45549392Hey HN! I'm Jakub, and together with my co-founders Agnieszka and Nathan, we built Aidlab, a wearable that gives developers gold-standard physiological data.Unlike health trackers with locked-down APIs, Aidlab ships with a free SDK [1] across 6+ platforms so you can just pip install aidlabsdk or flutter pub add aidlab_sdk or whatever platform (even Unity), and start streaming raw health data and events in real time with simple didReceive*(timestamp, value) callbacks.Currently, we are exposing 13 data types including raw ECG, cough/snoring, motion, raw respiration, skin temperature, bodyweight reps, body position, and 20 high-level stats like stress or readiness through the API.The most common questions I got are:1) "how is it better than my smartwatch?"2) "why we built it?"Chest-mounted wearables are considered the gold standard for physiological measurements. For example, whenever Apple validates their watch, they benchmark against chest straps [2], as some signals can only be reliablOct 11, 2025 2:24 PM

Show HN: Heads or Tails? The Story of Building a Better Coin Fliphttps://coin-flip.vip/It all started with a simple, age-old need: I needed to flip a coin.It wasn't for anything monumental, just a friendly debate with a colleague over who would pick up the coffee tab. I went online, typed "coin flip," and was met with a sea of functional, but utterly soulless, websites. A pixelated, generic silver coin spun on my screen. Click. It landed on heads. The experience was… underwhelming. It felt like using a basic calculator when you were hoping for something more.That's when the thought struck me. For centuries, the simple act of a flip a coin has decided fates, settled arguments, and sparked games. It's a tiny moment of suspense and pure, unadulterated chance. Why was its digital counterpart so bland?Driven by this minor frustration, I dug deeper. What if you needed to decide between more than two options? What if you were a game master needing to simulate multiple events at once? I searched for a site that could let me flip a coin ten, or even twenty times, simultaneously. Oct 11, 2025 3:17 AM
