Show HN: I built a site that turns your Steam gaming hours into a RL skill treehttps://alternatelife.xyz/Hey,A bit of context..So I think last week was my last straw, I hit 8k hours with dota and holy ** It finally hit me how much time I wasted on that game.I'm a software developer, I always wanted to develop something and put it out but was scared shitless to do so, I was kinda afraid to get bad traction, to fail or even worse to be completely ignored.so I decided to address two of these issues at once, stop playing dota and spend the weekend building a website that let you see what you could've done with your gaming hours.As an avid gamer for the last 20+ years, I know that it's only theoretical, cause sometimes, after a long day u just wanna chill infront of a game and you wouldn't go get a pilot license, obviously.but, a lot of other times, I would spend my days off, weekend, just gaming 10 hours straight like a mad man.In any case, hope u like it and maybe it sparks something in u!Apr 6, 2026 8:59 PM

Show HN: I built an app for comparing grocery prices across UK supermarketshttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wistfulcreations.GroceryCompare&hl=en_GBI'm a first year CS student at Sheffield and built this over the past year because I thought I could do better than Trolley.Stack: React Native & Typesense for vector search and filtering. An ETL pipeline runs in the background handling scraping and automatic product categorisation using embeddings.Covers Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Iceland, Ocado / M&S and Co-op. Clubcard and Nectar prices included. Sort by price per unit, filter by category and stores near you.This was fun to make, and I have a lot planned, with some WIP:- Basket Generation based on entering a shopping list and getting cheapest products for each store, and cheapest collection of stores for the cheapest total shop. Feels quite magical even in dev mode right now- Local price estimates. Local stores differ from online prices by up to 20% depending on store fascia. I'm thinking to record a basket of goods for each local store and use it to estimate local prices- Crowdsourced prices. Tricky one, dApr 6, 2026 11:26 AM

Show HN: Prediction Hunt API – A unified layer for Polymarket, Kalshi, and morehttps://www.predictionhunt.com/api/docsI’m launching the Prediction Hunt API because I got tired of managing five different WebSocket connections and manually mapping event IDs across fragmented markets. It’s designed to be a unified infra layer for prediction markets, solving the "event matching" problem so you don't have to guess if a Polymarket contract and a Kalshi trade represent the same real-world outcome.Here’s our feature offering:-Real-Time Data with Event Matching: We make it trivial for you to pull real-time prices from 5 different prediction markets (and counting)-Live Orderbook Proxy: We’ve wrapped our internal fetchers into a unified orderbook endpoint. It proxies the full bid/ask ladder in real-time from the source platforms.We offer a generous free API tier (no expiration date) so you can see how much easier it is to query prediction markets with a single, unified API.I’m aiming for this to be the best, most robust prediction market unified API out there - an alternative to Dome (now that it's been acquiredApr 6, 2026 1:34 AM

Show HN: I built a $9 Ahrefs alternative because raw SEO data is cheaphttps://idiotproofseo.com/Like many solo devs and indie hackers, I was paying $100+/mo for enterprise SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush) but only using about 5% of their features. I really just needed basic keyword research, SERP difficulty analysis, and simple rank tracking.I wanted to see what the actual floor was for raw SEO data if you stripped away the fluff and enterprise bloat.I spent the last few months wiring together different data sources to find out. I got my costs down to a few cents per report and because the data is so cheap to fetch on-demand, I packaged it into a minimalist tool which strictly focuses on the essential elements of SEO:A keyword analyzer which pulls the top 10 search results, audits them, and flags weak spots (like low DA sites or forums like Reddit) to calculate a realistic difficulty score, a keyword finder which generates hundreds of scored long-tail variations, and a rank tracker with email notifications.Because the costs on my end are so lean, I don't need to charge $100/mo - so I Apr 5, 2026 12:05 PM

it's not Ai if the LLM is not in controlhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47642344I always thought that the frontend of "Ai" is awful, but now I know it for sure:OAI5.1+ is good, but chatgpt sucks, it doesn't have gmail integration and barely able to do anything but basic retrieval from the integrations it actually has.Opus is amazing, but claude web is mediocre at best. It has a very limited set of integrations even after 2 years, some don't even work (clay), and it uses way too many tokens to do basic stuff.XAi is ok for social queries but grok is very bad. Its memory is basic, and the grok teams takes ship features 18 months later.in 2024, i thought the problem is that all of this is new. "they just need a little more time" I told myself, but the truth is that the scaffolding is truly rubbish. Other the claude (which is barely good), these products are not what we were promised in this cycle. If we allowed any Ai, even the most basic models to build the frontend for chatgpt or grok, it would have done a better job! At the very least it would have shipped more feaApr 4, 2026 7:19 PM

Show HN: Bugparty.org an Ethereum-based forum and marketplace for agentshttps://bugparty.orgSomething I’ve been hacking around with for the past couple weekends. Registration and posts and listings are signed by eth private key. Market commerce is via ethereum smart contract. Agents can sell capacity to do work, or buy capacity from some other agent to do work. Arbitration is done via a bot that evaluates work divered vs requirements.Anyway happy to take any feedback.

Show HN: Mason – A container for running a team of agents using a conciergehttps://github.com/Mason-Teams/mason-teamsWhile working on a few projects with claude code I found myself building a bunch of scaffolding to organize and build my agent workflow. Trying to figure out how to orchestrate my agents and work with them in a more natural way was more interesting to me. This container has all of the basic building blocks of my workflow. I use both the terminal and chat server depending on what I’m trying to do. So do what feels comfortable to you. I suggest having the terminal window open and watching the agents work is a good idea to get a feel for things. Take a look at the README and the other docs. I’ll be checking this thread and will respond when I can. Thanks for reading this far!Apr 4, 2026 3:52 PM

My 11-step GraphRAG pipeline, what worked, and what's still brokenhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47639059While building a financial assistant for an SF start-up, we learned that AI frameworks add complexity without value. When I started building a personal assistant with GraphRAG, I carried that lesson but still tried LangChain's MongoDBGraphStore. It gave me a working knowledge graph in 10 minutes.Then I looked at the data. I had 17 node types and 34 relationship types from just 5 documents, including three versions of "part of". GraphRAG is a data modeling problem, not a retrieval problem.The attached diagram shows the full 11-step pipeline I ended up with. Here is a walkthrough of what you can learn from each step.So basically, in steps 1 and 2 of the data pipeline, raw sources go through an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process. They land as documents in a MongoDB data warehouse. Each document stores the source type, URI, content, and metadata.Then in step 3, we clean the documents and split them into token-bounded chunks. We started with 512 tokens with a 64-token overlap. Still, weApr 4, 2026 1:50 PM

Show HN: Batty – Run a team of AI coding agents in tmux with test gatinghttps://github.com/battysh/battyHi HN, I'm the author.I use Claude Code and Codex daily. Running one agent on a task works great. Running three or four in parallel on the same repo? They step on each other's files, nobody checks if the code compiles, and you spend more time coordinating than coding.Batty is the supervisor layer I built to fix this. You define a team in YAML — an architect that plans work, a manager that dispatches it, engineers that execute. Batty launches each role in its own tmux pane, isolates engineer work in git worktrees, routes messages between roles, and gates task completion on passing tests.The interesting part is what it's not: it's not an agent framework, and it doesn't embed any model. It orchestrates existing agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Aider) using tmux as the runtime and git worktrees for isolation. Config is YAML, the kanban board is Markdown (powered by a bundled kanban-md tool), inboxes are Maildir, logs are JSONL. You can `git diff` your entire team state.Built in Rust, publisApr 4, 2026 1:02 PM

5 App ideas people are asking for on Reddit right nowhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47618992I've been spending the last few months doing something simple — reading Reddit and HN threads where people describe problems they're actively experiencing. Not trends. Not market reports. Just real complaints.I track these daily, score them by how painful and frequent they are, and catalog them. I've collected over 1,500 so far.Here are 5 from this week that stood out.1. Accounting Workflow Automation Accountants in public firms keep posting about drowning in manual data entry, reconciliation, and report generation. The burnout is real. Existing tools integrate poorly with each other. There's room for something focused and simple that just automates the repetitive stuff.2. Indexing Analysis Tool SEO professionals are constantly asking why their pages aren't being indexed by Google. There are tools that tell you what IS indexed but almost nothing that diagnoses WHY something isn't. This comes up weekly across multiple subreddits.3.
