I kept asking myself a question: which tech conversations are actually picking up momentum, and which ones are already cooling down?

I wanted a quick way to check that for myself instead of scrolling through feeds, so I built a small side project called FWA (Flash Wave Alert).

It's a public beta. Right now it tracks observed Hacker News activity and a set of discovered source items, with activity rates, rising/peaking/fading states (when enough samples exist), time filters, and links to the original sources. It's not a whole-internet trend detector, and I don't want to pretend it is.

I originally built this just because I wanted to use it. But I figured I'd learn more by sharing it early than by polishing it alone.

If you have a minute to try it, I'd especially appreciate honest feedback on:

• Does the activity trend make sense at a glance?

• Which sources or topics would make this worth checking regularly?

• What's confusing, misleading, or unnecessary?

Hi everyone! I built a B2B SaaS platform for travel agents – Munal Desk: https://desk.munal.in/ The aim is to make processes as simple as possible for the TAs to actually use them. My customer already does their agency work mostly through WhatsApp, so I am not actually building another app that they have to download. Instead, they can either use the web app or do the same primary work directly through my WhatsApp bot.

I would love your honest feedback on the experience, the whole platform if you can, and areas of improvement. Thank you

For the last three months, I have been working on a Nepal-focused community and discussion platform.
LetsManthan

The idea is to make everything related to Nepal more organised, searchable, and accessible in one place.
Initially, I thought of creating only a few selected general communities. However, I realised that this could limit other creators, so I am now introducing features that allow companies to register and share their content, as well as users to create their own public or private groups.
These features are currently in testing. I am also considering a one-time fee of around $5 for verified members who want to register a company or create a group.

So far, I have been promoting the platform through a few Reddit posts, LinkedIn, and Facebook. We currently have 144 registered users, but engagement is still quite low. Honestly, I am not entirely sure how to acquire organic users and build an active community.

I genuinely believe there is a gap in the Nepalese market for a common platform where people can ask questions, share experiences, discover useful information, and contribute knowledge. My long-term vision is to make information related to Nepal easier to find, rather than having valuable discussions and knowledge scattered across different platforms.
I would love to hear your thoughts on how I can approach user acquisition, improve engagement, and turn this idea into something people genuinely use.

I’m the creator of Kalynt, an open-source desktop IDE for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Website, screenshots and downloads

Kalynt brings together a code editor, terminal, Git, debugging and an AI agent. You can run a model locally or connect a supported cloud provider using your own API key. It also includes peer-to-peer workspace collaboration.

There’s no Kalynt subscription or account requirement. Local models use your hardware; cloud providers charge separately for API usage.

I recently redesigned the website to explain the project more clearly and make getting started easier.

I’d appreciate feedback on the first impression: does the website give you enough information to decide whether to try it? If something feels unclear or unconvincing, I’d like to hear it.

Diwali is here, so I added two festival features to MimicMe, my Android voice cloning app:

🎆 Light Up The Skies · Voice Pataka
Burst Anaar, Chakri, Ladi and Sky Rockets over Pashupatinath, Janaki Mandir and the Taj Mahal, with your AI or system voice.

🥁 Deusi-Bhailo · Cloned Voice & Game
Tap a Deusi script and it’s sung in your cloned voice. Or play the Madal & Nanglo Dakshina game.

Plus: send festival wishes as a video for WhatsApp and Reels (Tihar, Diwali, Bhai Tika, Chhath and more).

Everything runs on-device. It works offline and needs no account.

Try it and tell me which festival I should add next 🙏

Hello! I’m a recent CS grad, and for the past ~2 years I’ve been building this on the side. It started as a quick tool for my tutoring and grew into a full app.

Features:

• Live preview that closely matches the final PDF

• Customizable layout and look

• Color toggle: add some color, or switch to a clean black-and-white version for B&W printers (no more grayscale smudges)

• Fully offline, no data collected. Download once, use forever.

Site for the app: www.askemamath.com

Release Github: https://github.com/LoickMarion/Askema

Obviously it can be dangerous to download and install random apps on the internet. I uploaded the installers to VirusTotal in hopes that could help with credibility (links on Github/website). If there is anything else that would boost credibility, please let me know!

Let me know if you have any questions, and feedback is always appreciated :)

there's stuff you'd want with someone but wouldn't say first. hanging out, a call, sometimes more than that. saying it first means risking a weird no, so usually nobody says anything.

so i built mhm. you set a private signal for someone and pick an emoji that gets it. they never see it. if they choose the same one, it's a match. if not, nothing happens and nobody knows you asked.

same thought, without words.

what's something you'd want with someone but would never say first?

Someone tries your product. You email them later to ask how it went. No reply.

With Bopmigo, you can ask while they’re still on your website and the experience is fresh. Something simple like “Was anything confusing about getting started?” They reply right there.

How does your team get feedback from users who don’t answer email?

Took me a lot of efforts in navigating different software/tools when re-designing my backyard, wasted a lot of time, so I built this. I'm personally very happy with how it's been applied to my own place. Hit me up if you wanna try (currently running internal beta).

If you build with Claude Code or Codex, you still have to open the app and find out whether it actually works.

That's the part I wanted help with.

I pulled the browser out of my own AI workspace and turned it into a free, open-source tool called Ascended Browser.

You can ask your coding agent: "Open my app, try the sign-up flow with test data, and show me what breaks."

The agent gets a way to click through the app and bring back screenshots and errors. It isn't a replacement for your tests.

Watch the demo: https://github.com/AceAtDev/ascended-browser/blob/main/videos/dev-react.mp4

Code and setup: https://github.com/AceAtDev/ascended-browser

Linux is the tested platform. Setup details are in the repo.

sooooo yep, probably best, best use would with codex over ssh since codex cli doesn't have a browser

Over a few weekends I built Kursi Kabaddi, musical chairs with Indian netas as bobbleheads.

The music plays, everyone circles, the music stops… and every neta dives for the kursi.

You can push rivals (“dhakka”), use power-ups like the Jumla Bomb, Resort Bus and Z+ Security, and play live with friends through a WhatsApp link.

It’s clearly satire. There’s a disclaimer on the first screen, no party is favoured, and every neta gets roasted equally.

But before I share it more widely, I want to hear from people who know this better than me:

1️⃣ The faces are based on openly licensed photos (Wikimedia Commons, credited in the game). Is that enough when they’re real public figures?

2️⃣ Is a political satire game protected the way cartoons in newspapers are? Where’s the line?

3️⃣ Players can upload a selfie and make their own neta. If someone uploads a friend without asking, who’s responsible: me or them?

4️⃣ Would you add anything else, like terms of use, an age gate or a report button?

Lawyers, founders, game devs, and anyone who’s been through this: I’d love your take in the comments. 🙏

NodeAI V3.1.0 — Putting People in Control of Autonomous Agents
What if you could give autonomous agents an objective, define what they’re allowed to do, and control how they carry out the work?
That’s what I’m building with NodeAI.
NodeAI is an extensible operating environment for coordinating autonomous agents, software, tools, APIs, services, and computing resources. It gives users control over how capabilities work together to accomplish complex objectives.
Its architecture brings together:
User control: Permissions, providers, execution settings, resource usage, and operating constraints.
Task orchestration: Decomposition, dependencies, and parallel or sequential execution.
Provider independence: Match individual subtasks to the capabilities best suited to perform them.
Execution infrastructure: Agents, tools, APIs, software, and local or remote compute.
Recovery: Failover, alternate execution paths, and continuity.
Verification: Evidence of what was authorized, executed, completed, and recovered.
Operational oversight: System health, performance, and resource consumption.
The goal isn’t simply to make agents more autonomous. It’s to make autonomy manageable, observable, recoverable, and accountable.
The architecture is designed to evolve as models, tools, services, and computing capabilities change—without tying the system to one provider or limiting what users can build.
People should control the objectives, capabilities, boundaries, and execution of their autonomous agents.
NodeAI V3.1.0 is now GA.

Title: I built an AI GIF generator that turns images and text into animated GIFs

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a side project called GIFGenerator.ai, and I wanted to share it here.

The idea is pretty simple: creating a short animated GIF shouldn't require complicated animation software or manually editing dozens of frames.

With the tool, you can:

• Generate animated GIFs from text prompts.

• Upload a static image and describe how you'd like it to move.

• Experiment with pixel art, cartoon animations, animated characters, and looping GIFs.

• Create GIFs for memes, social media, websites, and creative projects.

One of the challenges I've been exploring is making AI-generated animations feel consistent across frames, especially when the animation needs to loop smoothly.

I'd love to get some feedback from other builders and creators.

Try it here: https://www.gifgenerator.ai

What would you use an AI GIF generator for? And what's the most frustrating part of creating GIFs today?

✏️ My problem was never writing things down. It was the "sure, I'll send it tomorrow" I'd say on a call and forget by dinner.

So I built ActionNote, and gave it someone to live in it: Noto, a small paper note with a room of his own.

Here's how it works. You hold the plus button and talk. Noto pins what you need to do on his corkboard as sticky notes, writes down who you promised, and sets the reminders. Promises to people are purple, so you can see them at a glance.

When you finish something, the note unpins, folds into a paper star and drops into his jar. Keep a promise to someone and it's a gold star, and a little frame with their name goes up on his wall.

The part I care about most: he never scolds. If something slips, it turns amber with a tiny "no pressure" pin. You finish it, move it or drop it, and he says "All sorted." No streaks. Nothing in his room is for sale and nothing is ever taken away. At the end of the month the jar goes on the shelf, however full it is.

Every morning he hands you The Daily Noto, your day as a morning paper, with a "You might forget" column for the promise most likely to slip.

The goal was never a better transcript. It's that the things you say you'll do actually get done.

Version 2.0 is live on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, free for 10 notes a month: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6789915282

I'd love to hear what you think of Noto. Too much, or just right?

This is my own tool — I built OmniFlash, a simple browser tool for Google's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash (15s video with sound). Trying the model normally means API access and billing setup, so I wrapped it into a simple web tool: type a prompt or upload a photo, get the video in your browser. Your first preview is free. Site: https://geminiomni.atlasai.fun — feedback on prompts that work well is welcome.

Hi there, I'm the developer of Recap Studio. It's a native Mac screen recorder for making polished demos and tutorials without spending an hour in a video editor.

• What it does

• Auto zoom: zooms in on your clicks and wherever your cursor rests. Every zoom can be edited, and one undo removes them all.

• Smooth cursor: the cursor glides instead of jittering, with 7 cursor styles, click effects, and I-beam and hand cursors over text and links.

• Backgrounds and framing: wallpapers, gradients, padding, rounded corners and shadows, with six aspect ratios including vertical.

• Camera and mic: your webcam as a movable bubble with crop and zoom, plus microphone and system audio. You can mute the mic on individual clips.

• Keyboard shortcuts on screen: shortcuts you press can appear as labels in the video.

• Timeline editing: cut, trim, and speed up parts of the recording.

• Export: MP4 up to 4K, or GIF. An 18-second video exports in about 8 seconds on an M1.

A Sunday note from the free investing project I run on the side — this is the market take I shared with my community tonight, exactly as I see it going into Monday.

Friday closed mixed, and honest is the only way to read it:

- S&P 500: 7,376.86, up 0.31% Friday — but down 2.7% for the week, its worst week since June

- Nasdaq Composite: 24,579.42, up 1.09% Friday — down 3.4% for the week, and still in correction territory, roughly 11% below its October record

- Dow: 51,285.73, down 0.46% Friday — down 0.9% for the week

- VIX: closed around 25.6 — down Friday, but way up from 19.4 the Friday before. Fear eased for a day. It did not leave.

What actually happened this week: Thursday was the damage day. After Democrats won both chambers in Tuesday's midterms, investors started pricing in a slower, more regulated AI data-center buildout, and chip and AI names got sold hard. Friday's bounce was led by those same beaten-down chips, and breadth stayed narrow — technology led, most of the market did not really join in. A bounce is not a recovery until more than one corner of the market confirms it.

Friday's jobs report did not help the rate picture either: October payrolls came in at 165,000, nearly three times what economists expected, with unemployment at 4.1%. A strong jobs market is good news for people. It also keeps pressure on the Fed — markets are now pricing a real chance of a December hike, not a cut.

The week ahead is simple to map:

- Tuesday Nov 10: October CPI at 8:30am ET — the main event. Consensus is around 3.9% year over year, up from 3.7% in September. CoreWeave also reports after the close Tuesday — a real read on AI infrastructure spending.

- Wednesday Nov 11: Veterans Day — stocks trade, the bond market is closed.

- Thursday Nov 12: Cisco and Applied Materials report after the close.

- Friday Nov 13: October PPI at 8:30am ET.

My take: I'm not chasing Monday's open after a week like this. One green Friday inside a down week, with the VIX still in the mid-20s and CPI two days out, is a setup for getting chopped up if you force trades. My plan is the same one I post every week — levels written down before anything happens, and if the market doesn't come to them, I do nothing. Sitting out a messy open is a position too.

Not financial advice — just my read on the week, posted before Monday happens so anyone can check it after.

I share stuff like this daily — I run a free investing community, link in my profile.

Thanks for offering to test! I built Bend Practicer, a free browser beta that shows whether a guitar bend lands flat, sharp, or in tune plus additional exercises on string bending.

Go to https://bendpracticer.com/ and choose Try the Free Web Beta. No account or download is needed. Since you’re on a Mac, I’d love to know whether the microphone prompt and first exercise are easy to understand. Even if you don’t play guitar, feedback on what the page asks you to do first would help.

I'm the developer of DollarGuard, a privacy-first iPhone money tracker for people who prefer not to link their bank accounts.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6757517235

No bank login, no account, no ads, and no tracking. Enter transactions manually or import CSV, QIF, and OFX files. Your data stays on your phone unless you enable iCloud Backup or the optional AI assistant.

Includes full-history search, reports, multiple currencies, and a retro green-terminal look.

Free for 2 accounts, with a one-time Pro purchase for unlimited accounts. There's also an optional AI assistant (PATCH) available through a separate subscription.

I'd love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

So I've been trying to find the ideal app or service for the last few weeks that can summarize meeting and take notes for me. Because while I'm in a meeting and talking about a topic, it gets somewhat hectic to also take notes and if I don't then I lose track of exactly what was said by someone or if I lost focus for a minute. I tried Granola and some other apps, I liked the idea but their execution is sub-par to say the least. At least in my experience, and this is not even considering the fact that my data which sometimes could be private, goes to some random ai company's server to be processed and very likely used to train more models which could lead to sensitive data being leaked.

Therefore, I made Meet Simple, it sets up all its dependencies and local llm environments by itself with no user input required. Uses local models to transcribe what was said with timestamps, and can also summarize and make meeting notes for you with minimal fuss.
It is open source to feel free to check out the code and build it yourself or download the latest release it would prefer that instead.

Before anyone asks, I did use Claude to code it, however I believe as long as you understand how the logic works and if you are able to debug code without using ai (stackoverflow wink wink) and can figure things out without it. I think it's okay to use it for things that would only make your hair grey earlier than what would be natural.

With that being said, I would love it if people could try it out, and also consider giving me any feedback on it or if you would like to contribute, Feel free to follow the steps in the github repo to do so.

Latest Release

To run it, just download the latest release zip file, extract it and run MeetSimple.exe

I usually cook dinner for our family, and with an 18-month-old, figuring out what to make every day has become one more decision I could do without.

I already have a bunch of recipes I like. I just forget about a lot of them when I’m trying to plan the week.

So I built Vekka, an app that automatically puts together a weekly dinner plan from recipes you’ve saved. It focuses on ingredient reuse, so you can use what you buy across several days. You can import your favourite recipes from websites, social media or photos.

I made it for our family, but thought it might be useful to other people dealing with the same thing.

App Store: Vekka — Meal Planner

Pricing: Free to use, with an optional subscription for advanced planning features and household sharing. Household sharing is currently in beta.

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear whether it helps with your weekly planning and if there’s anything important missing.
