Ask HN: Anti-John the Baptist?
https://share.google/rSPD6gqe4StTYz6YUBetween the satellites, the “prison phone” cars, grok, over a dozen heirs, AI beginning to solve original problems rather than mere copyright laundering… something very bad is brewing, and it is far outside the ragebait left-right paradigm. They clearly think super intelligence is just around the corner. Whoever is first to the finish-line (be it Musk or Altman or Zuck or Brin), past performance suggests that the first application will be do
Show HN: Ahoy_analytics, live analytics gem for Rails app
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so I just give it a try.Here's the context:I just finished building my website to sell my software. Then I realized I had a big problem: I have no idea what's happening on my site, where people are visiting from, how they interact, etc.I've used Shopify a lot, and I'm addicted to the Shopify live view.

Show HN: Davia – Visual AI roleplay with image-based conversations
Hi HN,We’re Ruben, Afnan, and Theo, and about a month ago we started working on a beta webapp for a more visual roleplay experience.We felt that roleplay works best when it feels like a real conversation, not like reading a chat log. So we focused on a phone-exchange format, where characters message you as if they’re on the other end of your phone and can send images that evolve with the story and react to what’s happening.Since the first beta, we’ve been building around a few core ideas:- Nativ
Ask HN: How do you AI code from your phone?
I would like to find a good way to use coding agents like claude or codex to code from my (Android) phone. But I can't find any tools that work.What I tried:An ssh terminal app on my phone. This works, but a TUI interface is far from what I would call "comfortable" on a mobile phone.Happy Coder (happy.engineering) promises to be the solution but I found it rarely works reliably, it can't deal with claude's new question format and (judging from issues and discussions) see
Ask HN: iPhone 15 pro handset just damaged my hearing, what now?
Title says it all. Wish I was kidding.I had a power outage tonight even before the big snow arrived. My shitty power utility has a call back feature if they restore power, which is useful since I have to throw the primary disconnect to use my generator.They called as I finished getting the generator going and I answered while standing nearby. This is an automated system that waits for a voice, and I said 'Yo' into the handset. Immediately after the loudest recording I've ever hear
Show HN: Bread Count – Private Net Worth Tracker
Hello, everyone,
I've been trying to keep track of my finances, but I guess I'm too lazy for budgeting apps. At the end of the day, I just want to know if numbers go up or down. To fix this, I've built an app that allows me to add snapshots from my banks and assets to get an overview. I've been using it for months and it's been great, so I've decided to improve its appearance and publish it.This app has no tracking or in-app purchases. Buy it once and use it on your
Show HN: DayZen: Visual day planner for ADHD brains
Hey HN,I've struggled with time-blindness my whole life. ADHD means I can write 14 tasks on a to-do list and genuinely believe I'll finish them before lunch.

No more lying to yourself about what actually fits.Just shipped 1.4 with Focus Mode
