hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable. So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff. Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it. Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan.…

Friends, HNers , countrymen: tl;dr Employee Unions are dead (non-existent in tech). A collective where employees own shares in the company they work for should give a voice to the employees with the management. I am happy to launch Rank And File, a platform for employee activism. Think Institutional Investors but instead of suits, it is employees who own a large number of shares in their own company and act as a collective. R&F aims to provide a private forum for employees to discuss company policies and act as a platform where employees can connect with legal experts and activists who will…

For years, I have struggled to understand my cash flow and save for the future. In addition to that, my wife has many credit cards and accounts that complicate matters. I am building a tool that connects all our accounts, helps us create a budget, and tracks and adjusts expenses on the fly. I am also sprinkling some AI magic on it for financial suggestions. I am looking for feedback on the implementation. More importantly, I am looking for more beta testers to improve the product.

I'm Yash, and I'm building LaminarFlow — an AI-native, open-source platform to help startups, founders, SMBs, manage their fincial ops more efficiently. It brings together financial insights, banking, invoicing, payment tracking, time tracking, and banking-style reconciliation — all powered by an AI agent that automates the boring stuff. We’re building this as an open startup, sharing everything publicly, and keeping it fully open-source (MIT). Would love your feedback and thoughts!

I built LedgerApp to solve a problem I kept running into: tracking shared expenses with my team was always more complicated than it needed to be. What it does: - Log expenses in under 15 seconds (amount, category, date, receipt) - Real-time per-person balance calculations - Automated "Settle Up" calculator that minimizes transactions - CSV/PDF exports for accounting - Free for teams up to 3 members Tech stack: - Next.js 15 with App Router - Supabase (Postgres + Auth + Storage) - Stripe for subscriptions - AWS SES for emails - TypeScript throughout What makes it different: Most expense…
