Show HN: Pastport – Your iPhone Left an Airbnb

I got up and was switching between Airbnbs, already annoyed at the Airbnb app sending me back and forth to Safari and Google Maps.Safari even warned me: “You are leaving airbnb.com.”Later, I applied my agents to my Safari history. It showed how many times I edited a flight booking, when my iPhone left an Airbnb, and that I had requested wheelchair assistance.That last detail was easy to explain: I was recovering from a surfing injury.That became Pastport—not another chatbot for browser history,

Show HN: I built the simple expense tracker I wanted to use

Hi HN! I built Spenso because I wanted a simple record of my spending, but never kept up with budgeting apps.I wanted to type or dictate something like "Starbucks 25" or "Uber Eats 25, Lidl 54.30 yesterday" and call it a day.

When someone starts a workout, everyone else has 30 minutes to ask for a self

Show HN: WaitToUnlock, a website that makes your Screen Time limits unbypassable

I love iOS Screen Time because app blocking happens at the operating system level. It’s built into every iPhone, so you can’t just uninstall it like a third party app.The biggest weakness is the “Ignore Limit” button. You can set a Screen Time passcode, but because you know it, you can always enter it and bypass your own limits.So I built WaitToUnlock.It generates a random Screen Time passcode and guides you through entering it in a deliberately confusing sequence (for example: enter 5, enter 8,

ASK HN: Why has technology become so unreliable?

Even though I'm a software engineer with long experience with serious projects, I'm become so disillusioned with the whole thing nowadays.Forget the ridiculous AI hype, forget about the lack of ethics and a moral compass; What's getting to me right now is the unreliability of it all. It seems like everything is held together with duct tape, and the tape is falling off.Just in the last few months, all these have happened:- My Macbook Air M1 has been acting up, refusing to charge in
