Show HN: I built iOS app to turn saved workout videos into structured routinesI built FitSaver — an iOS app that imports workout videos and converts them into structured routines you can actually follow.It’s not trying to compete with trainers or AI coaching apps. It solves a simpler problem: people save workouts, but rarely turn them into usable plans.Some interesting things I’ve learned since launching in early January: Most paying users are 35–55, not 20-somethings. The biggest pain point isn’t discovering workouts — it’s organizing and following them. Users describe it as a “workout video compiler,” which wasn’t language I initially used but turned out to be accurate. Several reviews mention that scrolling at the gym is the real friction.A few actual user quotes:“Other apps just have set workouts that aren’t as customizable as I’d like — this app provides that customization.”“I scroll Instagram all the time and saving workout ideas is a mess. This was super helpful.”“There’s nothing worse than scrolling social media or notes in a busy gym. This solves that p
Ask HN: How do you handle VAT / Sales Tax accounting as B2C SaaS?Hey! I run a B2C SaaS and I use Stripe for all of my sales (subscriptions).I am looking to learn how others handle their VAT / Sales Tax filing.I know that the standard answer would be to use Paddle / LemonSqueezy / Polar.sh, but I already have a lot of subscribers on Stripe which makes quick migration non-trivial.I am especially looking for some reliable accounting companies / accountants that can register and file Sales Tax across US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. (It does not have to be a global solution).It's my understanding that solutions like Stripe Tax, Alavara, Quaderno, etc. only help collect the necessary data (which I consider the easier part, at least for digital goods), but do not handle the registration & filing (though I've learned that Quaderno will support filing Sales Tax in the US on your behalf soon).---Some jurisdictions are relatively easy to handle (for example, one can handle whole EU by uploading a simple CSV [1] once a quarter and the CSV is easy to generate fr

Ex was charging $125 an hour for the most Jr engineer work on my team and over there seems like it tops around $80 an hour. -Government contracts -> Seems like this has a lot of lead time. -> How to create a funnel from online either marketing or cold reach is completely unkwon to me and would love some input on it.
Ask HN: Text-DaVinci-003/ChatGPT made up research sources?I'm using text-davinci-003 to find some research backed findings to build up my startup pitch. However, when I ask for the research source (title and url) for AI's answer, the report title and urls given by AI are usually not accessible or searchable online. https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-chatOvertime, I started suspecting, are those reports and url fake/generated by AI?Examples of the reports referred by AI: 4.

Why doesn't OWASP recommend to hash passwords both on the client and the server?Since the recent problems with GitHub and Twitter:- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-accidentally-recorded-some-plaintext-passwords-in-its-internal-logs/- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/twitter-admits-recording-plaintext-passwords-in-internal-logs-just-like-github/I was wondering, why isn't the best practice to bcrypt the password both on the client and the server? Since I won't change anything that already are the best practices for the server side (salt, strong hash, HTTPS), it can only be safer. The server would consider the already hashed password as the password, and would hash it again before store it.- In case I log the entire request when an exception is thrown, if an exception happens in the login/signup request, I would never get access to the user plaintext password- I know that if somebody have access to these only-client-side-hashed passwords, either by MITM (which a lot of companies do in their private networks replacing the SSL certif
Ask HN: How can I learn human psychology?I want to understand how humans think. Mostly to help me make software products more understandable to more people (usability and UX), also to fathom solutions to problems like climate change (which I think are now primarily psychological problems), and also to understand my own psychology to better harness my potential.I have no background in psychology. I am a software engineer and team leader in a successful 50-person software company. I have been interested in how other people think only for a few years. "How to win friends and influence people" was very influential for me.After thirty-something years I think I understand my own psychology pretty well. At least, I no longer find it deeply interesting. I am acutely aware that I am just one example of humans, and I am not like others; If you could measure individual's psychologies in a single dimension, I think my own psychology would be just outside the standard deviation.I tried reading about Freud's id, ego and super-ego on Wikipe
