Show HN: An iOS mileage tracker I built because I hate forced logins

I built this because I couldn’t find a mileage app that worked the way I wanted.Most apps either force you to create an account, upload everything to their servers, or try to automate everything in a way that breaks real-world workflows.I wanted manual start so I’m always in control, automatic stop so I don’t forget, no accounts, no backend, no tracking, and something that works even when I’m busy and not thinking about the app.The app stores data locally and syncs via iCloud only. No servers, n

Show HN: Artifact Keeper – Open-Source Artifactory/Nexus Alternative in Rust

I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices.Your package m

Show HN: Built a free moderation API after failing to find one

The problem with existing content moderation:Every developer who's built profanity filtering knows the frustration. Traditional filters either flag "assistant" because it contains "ass," or miss obviously toxic content because they're just matching keywords. They can't tell the difference between "I'll destroy you in this game" (friendly trash talk) and an actual threat.How The Profanity API solves this:I built a 5-layer detection pipeline that a

Ask HN: Best option for hosted agent in 2026?

Hey everyone. I have a simple question and have had a very tough time finding the answer.Our startup wants to build and use an agent. I want to give the agents skills, access to our APIs, etc. I do not want to reinvent any wheels, I do not want to reinvent an agent loop.Ideally, we'd effectively have a hosted version of Claude Code with company specific skills, an API access layer, etc. In the way that Claude Code / Cursor has access to our codebase + skills, thats effectively what we

BTDUex Safe? The Back End Withdrawal Anomalies

I’m posting this analysis to the YC community because I value the technical rigor here, and I need a sanity check on a platform that is aggressively marketing itself right now: BTDUex.For context, I spent the first two decades of my career in enterprise IT systems administration, dealing with server infrastructure, database integrity, and network security before shifting to full-time independent trading. I’ve survived the dot-com vaporware era, the 2008 financial meltdown, and every crypto winte

Tell HN: I'm a PM at a big system of record SaaS. We're cooked

I found myself disagreeing with almost all of the comments on the “AI Is Killing B2B SaaS” thread [1], based on my perspective as a senior PM (~20 years in SaaS) at a massive system of record (SoR) company in California. We’re still cooked. Throwaway for obvious reasons.BigCo SoRs, differences aside, have historically been a good, low-drama way to make a living in tech. RSUs, ~40-hour weeks, generally smart colleagues, and real problems to solve for F100 customers. Our products work, but are not

Show HN: Android-based audio player for seniors – Homer Audio Player

Video: https://youtu.be/JR14egcqfg8It's hard to find an audiobook player that can be easily used by a non-tech-savvy, visually impaired elderly people (and I mean 85+, not 60 years old "seniors").So I have built my own.I'm terrible at hardware hacking and I wanted to make something that others can replicate easily. There are many awesome RaspberryPi based projects out there but they're not for me. So my approach was to: use off-the-shelf consumer products:

Show HN: PalettePoint – AI color palette generator from text or images

Hey HN, I built PalettePoint (https://palettepoint.com) because picking colors for projects was always the part I dreaded most. I'm not a designer, and every time I'd start a new project I'd spend way too long on color palette websites refreshing until something looked okay. So I built a tool where you just describe what you want, "warm coffee shop vibes" or "clean SaaS dashboard", and it generates a proper palette with color theory behind it. You can

Ask HN: Was my first management job bad, or is this what management is like?

My first job in management was not good. I became so stressed I got a mild case of shingles[0], and at that point decided to quit for my own health. I didn’t stay long enough to overcome the difficulties—I had to run away.I’m wondering if this job was just especially bad, or if I can expect similar troubles in any management job.It was consulting company work, and I enjoyed it when I was an individual contributor on the team. The company cared about our project in the beginning and things were w

Ask HN: Need feedback on the idea I'm working on

Hey everyone,I’ve been noticing a lot of friends starting lifestyle businesses on Shopify. Most of them have multiple ideas but end up picking the one that gets the most positive feedback from friends.I don’t think that’s the right way to start a business.So I’m building a platform that turns your business idea into a live landing page and then runs ads to test real demand.I have a few early users right now and I’m trying to figure out how to reach more users. Would love to hear what you all thi

What exactly is vintage glassware and how adding a few of them to your decor can make your home look classy

Vintage glassware can be defined as glassware that was produced in earlier historical periods and is often prized for its craftsmanship, colours and significance. Examples of vintage glassware include Depression glass from the 1930s, elegant handmade glassware, carnival glass with iridescent finishes, and earlier pressed or opaline glassware.
