Show HN: Morning Stack finds real job openings, tweaks resume and cover letterJob hunting sucks. That grind of digging through LinkedIn and Indeed, sifting through endless spammy emails from headhunters who try to get the biggest possible audience, clicking "Quick Apply" to silent response, and trying to figure out which of all of these jobs are even real. My wife hit all of this when she started job hunting a few months ago, so I built her a tool to take the worst part of it off her plate. It turned into this. Oh, and she got an offer letter from a major company in just shy of two and a half weeks. Now, she loves her job.Morning Stack runs overnight. While my users sleep it works through the big job boards (and some niche ones), and then it tries to disprove every listing before it trusts one.Is the job even real? - It opens the posting in a real browser (Playwright) and checks. There's no API scraping and we don't login to anything. Then, we resolve back to the company's own ATS page so you can apply directly to them. If it can't find it, the job is dropped.Do
Show HN: I tested 50 AI video APIs and built a comparison platformLast year, I spent $3,200 on video production tools. Professional cameras, editing software, stock footage - and still wasn't creating fast enough.Then AI video tools exploded. Everyone promised to "revolutionize video creation." Reality? *90% are garbage*.I tested 50+ AI video tools over 6 months and built [FindAIVideo.com] to share what actually works.---## Why Most AI Video Reviews Are UselessMost "top 10 AI video tools" articles are: - Written by people who never used the tools - Paid affiliate spam - Outdated immediately - Missing hidden costsI wanted real testing, transparent pricing, honest comparisons.---## My Testing Framework: 3 Must-Haves### 1. *Output Quality* - Minimum 1080p (ideally 4K) - Consistent results (no lottery) - Passes the "uncanny valley" test### 2. *Usability* - < 30 minutes to first video - Intuitive interface - Generate in minutes, not hours### 3. *Cost Transparency* - No hidden fees - Clear credit systems - Honest export limits---## 5 Tools Actually Worth Y
Show HN: Git Guide - The open source travel guide on GitHub ActionsHello HN!This is my first open source project, and I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share it with you.I love traveling, but I’ve lost trust in traditional review sites. Between SEO spam, bots, and paid 5-star ratings, finding genuine recommendations has become a noise-filtering exercise. I wanted a curated list where the "noise" of anonymous internet crowds is replaced by a transparent commit history.Git Guide is an experiment in building a community-curated travel directory without a traditional backend or database.* No Database: The "database" is just folders of Markdown files (countries/Italy/Rome/Eat/best_pizza.md). * No Servers: It runs entirely on GitHub Actions. * IssueOps: Data isn't entered via a custom form; it's entered via GitHub Issues with YAML templates.How it works: 1. A user opens an Issue to propose a place. 2. The community votes using GitHub reactions (/). 3. Once a threshold is met (currently testing with net 100 votes) and a moderator approves, a Python scrip
Dinner is Served!Dinnertime fare on the International Space Station takes center stage in this Aug. 15, 2025, photo. One tray features shrimp cocktail on whole grain wheat crackers, while the other holds sushi made with seaweed, Spam, tuna, and rice.

Uceprotect HijinksI'm pretty sure everyone knows what a RBL (Realtime Black List) is. It's a more than imperfect attempt to identify offenders on the 'Net--spammers, phishers, etc.Why imperfect? Because there is no one RBL site. There are, literally, dozens if not hundreds. And there is no universal guide or standard for operation--how sites are flagged, how they can be removed, or what the trust level of the RBL may be.Some are very good--they have reliable reporting and analysis mechanisms in place, are responsive to reports of false positives, etc.Some are horrendous--they are badly designed and implemented, or are unresponsive to reports of false positives (this is especially bad for RBLs located in uncooperative countries, such as China), have "died"--either are no longer funded/maintained, etc.)--but are still reporting results.And worst of all--there are "aggregator" sites that are in use by various organizations and individuals. These query a bunch of RBLs and other flagging sites, and return an

Ask HN: Dear LinkedIn, do you want to do business, yes or no?I have created my account while spending how many hours to organize my profile, send requests to old colleagues and acquaintances, only to find out the very next day that my account was deactivated for security purposes without me knowing the reason.I have spend hours trying to find a way to communicate with LinkedIn helpdesk without success, only to receive an email late at night that the reason they deactivated my account is because I edited my Headline (!!!) and they considered this a phising attempt!I went through the stupid process of providing my government ID and still cannot proceed as the third party service, Persona, still processes my request or so they say, and I'm stuck here without having a way to login so I can upgrade to a premium, or so I wanted to do but not anymore!This is not a serious company anymore, they have lost the plot and the only thing they need to do is to close it down; they offer absolutely nothing other than spamming you with AI content (slop I believe

Receive calls only from saved contactsHello folks, I built an app to block calls from non saved contacts, it works for Android.I live in Brazil, and at least here the situation with spam and bot calls is pretty bad, some days you can get calls from unknown numbers constantly.If someone wants to talk to me, they can usually reach me asynchronously (email or whatsapp) and I answer when I can/want. If it’s urgent, the people I care about enough to receive an immediate phone call from are generally already saved in my contacts.So Fone1 does one thing: when enabled, it blocks calls from numbers that aren’t saved in your contacts.I know this usage pattern definitely isn’t for everyone, but if you feel similarly, I’d love for you to try it and share feedback.It’s free and has no ads.If you are an Android user and wants to test, just send me your email so I can add you to list of testers.

Show HN: PingChange – monitor web pages and OpenAPI specs for meaningful changesI built PingChange after watching the same thing happen over and over: a competitor prices change, a company policy is updated or important web content changes but there is often no reliable way to track it and know when it happens.The tool monitors web pages and API on a schedule and alerts your team when something meaningful changes. The keyword here is meaningful. Most monitoring tools trigger alerts for everything (ads, timestamps, cookie banners etc) and could be noisy or spam in your inbox. With PingChange, you can give it an instruction e.g "alert me when pricing changes" and it analyzes the page content and only notifies you when the changes matches what you're looking for on the page.Here are the main features:- Visual region selection / HTML element selector for tracking specific location on the page. - Changed diff viewer and screenshot of the pages. - Geolocation support - Monitor URL's from specific location to detect content from different geographies. - Anti-bot resoluti

I'm so f-n tired of the Internet It has become the worst placeToday, my 3-year-old Reddit account has been banned for no reason. They deleted all my posts and comments as well. Yesterday, the website I invested years of my time in SEO into was nuked by Google and lost its position overnight due to new anti-spam policies that rolled in. A month ago, on another project, I missed an email from a payment processing provider and lost payments and all revenue, only because Gmail put the most important email in spam. Nothing works well in this fucking shthle. I'm sick of that.

Ask HN: How to implement a friction-less authI'm kinda new to coding and developing a very simple two-player board game and need guidance in how to design the auth system. Right now I have a normal username+password auth wall for a registered users only queue and a guest system for non registered users that mints a guest account when someone not logged in queues. I'm happy with the friction-less this provides but I'm not so happy with anyone being able to spam either my guest creation endpoint or my username+pwd signup.I love sites that offer either functional guests or fast non-email signups, but I don't know how to prevent someone from creating fake accounts and making the matchmaking awful besides rate limiting, but as the expected pool of legitimate players is small, any trivial amount of fake accounts (10s) can severely impact the queues.I know, I know, "0 users" and "just put something out there", but I really enjoy the back-and-forth of the design and implementation, just a bit lost here so any guidance on what to do, but

Is there room for an AI-powered webmail service built on a single-letter domain?Hi HN, I’m a solo, non-technical founder working on W, an AI-powered webmail service built on a premium single-letter domain (https://w.xyz).I secured the domain and used AI agents to build out a functional proof-of-concept for the client. To handle infrastructure, I routed the application logic through Mailgun. Internally, the prototype is fully operational — emails successfully send and receive from @w.xyz handles. W combines a highly optimized interface with built-in AI capabilities like Spam Scanning, Smart Reply and Text Summaries.I currently have a 30+ organic waitlist as I finish the final touches and prepare to move away from the prototype stack.My questions for the community:Concept Validation: Given how crowded the email space is, do you see a viable market for an AI-native premium webmail service, or do you believe the switching cost from Gmail/Outlook too high for users?Scaling Roadmap: As a non-technical founder moving away from an AI-generated prototype stack, what are th

Privacy is an underrated advantage in Slack appsMaybe more of a big deal should be made about the flood of internal private company information that can pass through to third-party Slack app developers?I suspect most that install Slack apps aren't aware (or don't care?) that their entire list of employees and Slack profiles can get shipped out pretty easily. Anyway here's a little blog-spam on it, enjoy.https://dibsonstuff.com/privacy-concerns-queue-bot-vs-dibs-on-stuff.html(written by me, not ai)

Show HN: Make your bio link worth clicking, even for agentsHi HN, I'm Andras, one of the founders of YourSitee (yoursit.ee), a link-in-bio tool.We recently added optional native Markdown versions of public profiles. The same profile is available as a visual page at /{username} and, - if enabled by its owner -, as structured Markdown at /{username}.mdDemo: https://yoursit.ee/showhn https://yoursit.ee/showhn.mdI'm curious about two things: would you prefer explicit .md endpoints or accept: text/markdown? And should we eventually let agents create their own clearly labeled public profiles, or is that more likely to become a spam/identity problem than something useful? Would love to hear your thoughts :)

Ask HN: What are GitHub's push-farm botnets for?Every hour GH Archive records ~160K public GitHub events, and right now ~64% of the pushes are spam. Thousands of auto-created accounts (word+digits usernames like smithhoward5868, gibberish repo names) push hundreds of times an hour to fresh repos, 24/7. One repo, LiamBruhin/SillyStuff, pushed 690 times in a single hour from ONE actor, and has kept that up for 13+ hours straight.I built a live radar that had to detect these farms to rank honestly, and I've been tracking them for 34 hours. Live: https://github-pulse.surge.sh — full writeup with charts and the farm ledger: https://github-pulse.surge.sh/report.html — open-source single script: https://github.com/Atheistam/github-pulseBut I genuinely don't know what they're FOR. No stars, no forks, no issues, no PRs, no meaningful README — just endless pushes to fresh gibberish repos. SEO? GitHub Actions reselling? Training-data poisoning? Has anyone seen this pattern before, or does anyone know what the endgame is?

Review Overhaul – done-for-you Google review generation for local businessesHey HN,I built Review Overhaul for local business owners who need more Google reviews but don't have time to chase them down manually.The problem I kept seeing: small businesses have happy customers but almost no reviews. Asking for reviews feels awkward, and most owners forget to follow up.You hand us your customer list once. We send a review request, then two follow-ups, then stop. No spam. We also set up and optimize their Google Business Profile and respond to every incoming review on their behalf.The interesting part was building the follow-up sequencing so it respects timing and doesn't hammer people. We guarantee 40 reviews in 90 days or we pause billing entirely — no credits, no fine print.Would love feedback from anyone who has dealt with local SEO or reputation management tooling.

Show HN: Remove LinkedIn reaction-promoted posts using uBlockIf you're like me, and 99% of your LinkedIn feed is just "likes this" or "celebrates this" repost spam from LinkedIn to make it "appear" like their feed is an actual feed, add this to your uBlock filters:linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/likes this/i) linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/celebrates this/i) linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/supports this/i) linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/loves this/i) linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/finds this insightful/i) linkedin.com##div:has(> h2):has-text(/finds this funny/i)

Do YC companies get preference on the homepage?I'm guessing the answer is yes, but I see a lot of posts about jobs at YC companies that don't seem like they're getting enough attention to be on the homepage. I'm assuming they artificially put them there to help them, but that feels like ads/spam since this is generally used as a forum.If that is the case then admins probably can't do much about it, but it'd be good to keep that in the `jobs` tab or something so it's not cluttering up the news page

Show HN: I built a cold email platform with built-in inbox placement testingSpamCipher is a cold email platform I have been building. The part HN might find interesting is the deliverability layer: campaigns can run inbox placement tests against a network of real seed mailboxes (Gmail, Outlook, Zoho and others) that report whether your mail landed in the inbox or the spam folder, and mailbox warm-up engages with mail using human-paced reads, replies, and archiving. It also does email verification, DMARC monitoring, and blacklist checks.If you want to poke at something without signing up, the spam checker at https://spamcipher.com/check is free.Happy to answer questions. Running the seed mailbox network honestly has been the hardest part to build.
