I made this thing called LOL Verifier: a device that only lets you type lol if you’ve actually laughed out loud

I've been using this for about a year now - I parsed 6 months of my messages on slack and found the most common phrases I use and generated keyboard shortcuts for them.

Hi HN, I'm Daniel Nguyen. In June, I quit my job to start indie hacking full-time. The idea of KTool first came to my mind when I was reading "Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?"[0] I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. My right eye is basically blind. Doctors said there is no chance to cure it. I was genuinely scared. Like holy shit, if my left eye stops working, my life is done. Since then I've been very conscious about time spent on computer screens. That's when I started using Kindle-related products: to offload as many reading materials as possible to…

BeepThatOut▲108Hi all, my friend and I have built an AI-powered (whisper) editor for youtubers, podcasters, and video editors, that should cut down manual editing time by a lot. It's 'a bit' more than just a whisper wrapper, because you can configure a lot: - what kind of profanities to filter - add your own words (i.e. 'covid') to prevent demonetization on platforms like youtube - adjust the transcript in the editor like in google docs - readjust the position of each word - use 1000Hz beep, silence, or your own sound and more. You can export your work as audio, video, or as an .xml project for popular…

Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

Hey HN, I built a small experimental writing tool called nowrite.fun. The concept is brutally simple: You set a timer (e.g. 5 minutes), start writing — and if you stop typing, your text vanishes. No drafts, no recovery, no forgiveness. Inspired by apps like Write or Die, but rebuilt from scratch with a lightweight stack: Deno + TypeScript, XState, anime.js, and canvas-confetti. Hosted on Deno Deploy. It’s a tool for short, focused writing sprints — a tweet, a blog paragraph, a newsletter blurb. Keep typing → you win. Hesitate → it’s gone. It’s minimal, a bit stressful, and surprisingly…

Hey HN, I built justanotherday.lol today as a quick, fun project for people who aren't really into Valentine's Day. Just a lighthearted take on what some of us might be doing instead—scrolling Instagram, working late, or convincing ourselves that saving money is self-care. No signups, no fluff — just a simple site I put together in Next.js + Framer Motion in a bit of a hurry. Hope you find it fun. Let me know what you think!

I’ve been playing around with local LLMs for the past couple of months and decided to build something that can run on an iPhone. It’s a universal app built with SwiftUI and the excellent ggml library. The model is an SFT fine tuned and 4 bit quantised version of the RedPajama-INCITE-Chat-3B-v1 OSS LLM. It works reasonably well on recent-ish (~3 year old) iPhones, iPads and Macs. It was launched on the App Store yesterday[1] and Product Hunt today[2]. It seems to be reasonably ok at natural language interactions, but given its size, does pretty badly at coding and reasoning. Also, it…

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 analyzes content progressively: Blocklist (L0): Your custom blocklist for instant flagging Static (L1): Exact match against known profanity…

With April Fools' Day coming up, I thought I'd share my VSCode extension again: Whoopee cushion keyboard. When installed, it makes fart noises as you type. And with the new version I just released, you can now enable this per language (command palette: "This is a smelly business"). So if a coworker who doesn't like CSS happens to leave their desk without locking their screen, who knows what might happen...
