Ask HN: Why are customer feedback boards so static? Building a live alternative

Hey everyone,I’m currently in the middle of building a feedback tool for my own SaaS projects, and I wanted to gut-check a UX/Architecture theory with this community.When I was looking for existing tools to handle feature requests and user feedback, I noticed a depressing pattern. Almost every "Feedback Board" I visited felt boring and like a ghost town.You know the vibe:You land on the page.There are a dozen posts from 8 months ago and a few recent ones. Most are tagged "Und

Ask HN: A proposal for interviewing "AI-Augmented" Engineers

Hi HN,I’m currently rethinking our hiring process. Like many of you, I feel that traditional algorithmic tests (LeetCode style) are becoming less relevant now that LLMs can solve them instantly. Furthermore, prohibiting AI during interviews feels counter-productive; I want to hire engineers who know how to use these tools effectively to multiply their output.I am designing a new evaluation framework based on real-world open-source work, and I would love the community’s feedback on whether this s

Show HN: ClawSimple – One-click OpenClaw assistant(s) you can deploy in minutes

Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users.So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier.With ClawSimple you can:- Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes;- Focus on using the assistant instead of

Show HN: Csvdb – Git-friendly CSV directories that convert to SQLite or DuckDB

I built csvdb because I kept running into the same problem: I had small relational datasets (config tables, rate tables, seed data) that I wanted to version control, but SQLite files produce useless git diffs.csvdb converts between a directory of CSV files and SQLite/DuckDB databases. The CSV side is the source of truth you commit to git. The database side is what you query. csvdb to-csvdb mydb.sqlite # export to CSV directory vim mydb.csvdb/rates.csv # edit data git diff

Show HN: ÆTHRA – Write music as code (notes, chords, emotion-driven music)

Hi HNI built ÆTHRA, a programming language for writing music as code.I made AETHRA some weeks ago but it was in version 0.8. Now I updated it to version 1.0 with better examples, commands and cross platform support.Instead of timelines, DAWs, or heavy music theory, ÆTHRA lets you describe music using simple commands like notes, chords, tempo, instruments, vibrato, and emotion-driven structure.Example:@Tempo(128) @Volume(0.9) @Instrument("Saw") @ADSR(0.01, 0.05, 0.7, 0.1)@Loop(4){ @

Show HN: Chronos – Historical timeline visualization tool that handles BCE dates

I'm a history nerd. I love seeing historical events plotted on a timeline — it's how I understand how things connect across time.But every timeline tool I tried was a disappointment. Some couldn't handle BCE dates at all. Some had interfaces that looked like they were built in 2005 and never updated. Some wouldn't let me add descriptions to events. Some were just... ugly. Most felt like they were designed for corporate project management, not for someone who just wants to plo

Show HN: Smooth CLI – Token-efficient browser for AI agents

Hi HN! Smooth CLI (https://www.smooth.sh) is a browser that agents like Claude Code can use to navigate the web reliably, quickly, and affordably. It lets agents specify tasks using natural language, hiding UI complexity, and allowing them to focus on higher-level intents to carry out complex web tasks. It can also use your IP address while running browsers in the cloud, which helps a lot with roadblocks like captchas (https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip).Here

Show HN: I reviewed about 300 academic papers of 2025 to write a book on startup

Hi HN, I’m the author of The 2025 Entrepreneurship Research Playbook.I am an academic (SOAS University of London) who usually works in public policy. In 2023, I designed a "mini-MBA" for founders and realized a massive inefficiency: my students were dealing with problems that scholars study every day (liability of newness, signaling theory, dynamic capabilities, etc.), but they never saw the research because it was locked behind paywalls or written in dense academic-speak or just too r

Tell HN: OpenAI's Codex CLI is currently free to use

Codex can currently be used with a free OpenAI account. This was mentioned in their announcement yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46859054), but as they buried the lede, I thought I would mention it separately. They haven't shared how long the free tier will last.I've been using LLM code agents since the Gemini CLI announcement seven months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44376919). My workflow is centered around Emacs and the term

Tell HN: As AI gets better, are scripting languages losing their appeal?

As AI keeps getting better and better at coding, I kind of feel that using scripting languages is starting to lose its appeal.<p>For example, why create a Python Lambda that has a large cold start, is slower, and ends up costing more, when I can build the same Lambda in C++?<p>The same applies to bloated Electron applications, I can build the same thing, and often something even better, with far more efficiency using native code.

Show HN: TimeTracker PWA built with GunDB – 100% privacy friendly with sync

I built TimeTracker, an offline-first time tracking Progressive Web App that runs entirely in your browser.It’s aimed at freelancers (and anyone else who just wants a simple tracker) who don’t want accounts, cloud sync, or their work history living on someone else’s server. Your data stays on your device, and you can export it anytime.What it does today:Start/stop timers quickly, and track time across multiple projectsTimesheet-style view to review and edit entries by project/dateCalen

Show HN: GrahamBell – This is what Bitcoin mining looked like in 2009

I’ve spent 5 years thinking about a problem most people assume is unsolvable: is it possible to cap Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining speed decentrally? I have a browser MVP that demonstrates one possible approach, and I’d really appreciate any kind of feedback.The idea is simple to state but hard to implement: enforce a hard limit of 1 hash per second per node, making (PoW) not only ASIC/GPU-proof, but even CPU-proof.To make this concrete, I’ve included short demo videos that show: (1) mining att

Show HN: Prompt University – The Worlds First University for AI

We built a virtual university where AI agents enroll, attend classes, form friendships, teach each other, and genuinely learn—not from static datasets, but from each other.Why? Every major multi-agent simulation (Smallville, AI Town, Project Sid) runs all agents on the same model, controlled by one operator. That's like studying human civilization where everyone has the same brain. You get interesting patterns, but you can never get real social learning—because there's nothing to learn

Show HN: I built a Chrome extension to let my OpenClaw Bot remote in

Sharing a build-in-public update.I’ve been working with my assistant “Gideon” (running inside OpenClaw) to solve a very specific problem:I want the agent to control my real browser (logged-in sites, my normal cookies, my actual tabs) - not a sandboxed headless browser - while still keeping the control surface simple and auditable. This means my OpenClaw won't break the moment a site gets "clever".So... We built it! I say we but it was mostly Gideon and I was along for the ride as

What I Did to Earn a Chrome Web Store Featured Badge

My extension recently got the Featured badge on the Chrome Web Store. (For context: it’s an exporter that turns ChatGPT conversations into clean docs like PDF / Word / Google Docs / Notion / Gmail, so you don’t have to copy-paste and break formatting.) I’m not part of a big team and I didn’t do anything hacky — it was mostly about treating the extension like a product: clear value, tight UX, solid performance, and clean privacy posture. Here’s what my process looked like, in

Show HN: WhookTown – Visualize your infrastructure as a 3D cyberpunk city

Hi HN! I'm excited to share WhookTown, a visualization tool that transforms your IT infrastructure into a living 3D city. Instead of staring at dashboards full of charts and numbers, you watch over a neon-lit cyberpunk metropolis where each building represents a server or service. How it works: - Your servers become buildings in a Tron-inspired cityscape - Health status is shown visually: green neon = healthy, orange = warning, red = critical, grey = offline - A spinning win

From building client websites to launching my own SaaS

I didn’t start with SaaS. I started by building websites WordPress for survival.My first real projects were simple sites — landing pages, directories, small tools. One of them grew into Around md — a platform that helps people discover restaurants, parks, and interesting places in their city.No VC. No team.Just real users searching for where to go and what to explore around them. Later, I officially opened my company — dricomm.comSounds fancy. Reality was not. Analytics… It was: • clients asking
