24 alternatives to Fatebook – Superforecasting in your Slack

Hey HN! I’ve been building Fatebook for the past couple of months. It’s a slack bot to help your team make and track predictions, right where you work. I see forecasting as anti-bullshit technology: - It gives you truthseeking incentives - You communicate your uncertainty as a probability, which is way clearer (70% is better than “probably”) - You can aggregate forecasts to get wisdom of the crowd effects - You can see everyone’s track record, and pay more attention to people who are consistently accurate I’m a fan of prediction markets [0] and forecasting platforms [1]. But predictions on…

    A few weeks ago I realized i was spending way too much time trying to write quality posts for Twitter. So I decided to look into scheduling tools which could help me automate my writing. I tried a few, but none of them satisfied me. Either the interface was way too complicated or the features i wanted were just not there. Finally, after some time I gave up… and instead I decided to just do it! I hacked up a quick prototype in a weekend. Tried it out - it worked!! Mostly.. I fixed some bugs, made a nice UI, and now (3 weeks later) I think I built one of the nicest scheduling tools out there.

    Hey guys, I left my PM job in December to learn how to code. The plan, - Build something that "I" could build with my background (I haven't studied CS) - Something that already existed and I used so I didn't have to spend time finding PMF Over the past 4 months I've been building howsthisgoing.com (a standup bot for slack with AI summaries). My ex-employed signed up in May & I got another customer through a university batchmate sometime in June (the company he's working at). However, since then it's mostly been 0 new customers, I get roughly 6-10 views on my site daily. The bot and my…

    A few months ago, I was asked to build a reporting Slack bot for our internal stakeholders. This bot, among other things, had to send them some charts. During my make-or-buy process, I evaluated some services, but I wasn't totally satisfied with any of them, mainly for two reasons: firstly, because in most of those services, the data is sent as query parameters, and since the data in my case are sensitive, I didn't want that. The second reason was that the rendered chart images were not as cool as I wanted. I'm the kind of person who likes beautiful things . So, I did some testing, and I…

    Hi HN, When I was in FAANG, I despised ticketing. I was always the eng that refused to update. Then when I was a tech lead, I had the pain of pinging everyone for updates because they hated it too. Things would go out of date, and then no one would really know if we were on track. We also had little visibility into what the team was doing outside of pinging/standups. So I made an AI that looks at every commit you push and updates tickets for you. It can create tickets if there isn't one, update, leave comments, tag associated commits etc... Basically, it's an "AI Board Babysitter" so…

    Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could build something like DataFa.st myself, so I made MochiAnalytics. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. It’s got all the bells and whistles a small team or solo founder would need to track campaigns and to see which channel is driving revenue. It’s a cheaper analytics tool for side projects, indie hackers, and small apps. I honestly wish I could make it free, but it still needs servers, a database, and a backend to keep event ingestion running 24/7, so there are real costs behind it. I’m still working on it and will keep adding more features…

    I've been lurking on HN for years. You know the drill: interesting headline, 200+ comments, you dive in thinking "I'll just skim for 5 minutes"... and an hour later you're 36 chambers deep in a thread about memory allocation patterns in Postgres and you've completely forgotten what the original article was about. I don't just want a "summary" (which usually just shortens the noise). I want the meta-consensus: "What is the actual trade-off being debated? Who is winning the argument? Why does this matter?" So I built HNSignals. Think of it less like a "summarizer" and more like a Chief of…

    Claude Imagine generates software dynamically - no predetermined code, just adapts to what you need. That made me ask: why doesn't Slack work this way? Slack forces predetermined channels. You join #marketing, now you get pinged about everything from brand strategy to pizza parties. The structure is static, your work context changes constantly. THE PROBLEM: I was drowning in 50+ channels, checking Slack 60+ times daily. Tracked my time: 2.5 hours/day just PROCESSING messages, not working. WHAT I BUILT: Float applies the "Claude Imagine philosophy" to Slack: - AI creates dynamic inboxes…

    I have recently developed a bot capable of simultaneously scanning over 140+ sportsbooks around the globe. It analyzes millions of odds in real time and uses this data to find overpriced odds. The logic behind it is straightforward: it uses odds from all sportsbooks to calculate the probabilities of an event occurring. Then, with simple maths it determines if the expected value is positive, meaning the potential payout exceeds the risk. Unfortunately, sportsbooks limit your accounts once they realize that you are profitable and not a losing customer. So I have already been limited at more…

    I created a bot which analyses Euro 2024 betting odds and performs some basic analysis based on the recent form of each team and provides advice on which odds are under/over-priced by email to all subscribers. The intelligence of the bot is admittedly rather basic but this simple app shows how easy it is to reliably scrape and parse structured data with AI and perform insightful analysis. The initial version of the bot, shown in the notebook took about 15 minutes to build. Disclosure: this bot is built on our new graph based #nocode platform NodeScript.dev, which we've recently brought…

    Hey folks! This is a project that I've been working in my free time for the past few months. It's a news aggregator that uses AI to select relevant articles and summarize them. The default sources are frameworks and libraries' updates, popular HN topics, and languages' subreddits threads that make past a certain threshold. You can run a local instance (needs an OpenAI key) and customize it with your own sources, and adjust the prompt as well. The resulting website can be browsed at https://dev-radar.com/ My next experiment will be with local news. I'm building some feeds with…

    A couple of weeks ago I was listening to a conversation with Elon Musk where he mentioned something that stuck with me. At Tesla, they don’t run every possible simulation. They focus on the ones that produce real signal. The branches that generate learning. The boring ones get pruned because they teach nothing. That idea kept rattling around in my head. If we take the simulation hypothesis seriously (as he does), maybe the same applies more broadly: only timelines that produce learning are worth exploring. The ones where people take clear positions, make bold calls, and are willing to be…

    Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

    Hey HN! I love those moments when LLMs are just working right away, but I'm also quite frustrated when they can't complete a single simple task. In those moments I'm always wondering "Is it just me or...?" So I've built AI Daily Check. Made the frontend with Node.js under Cloudflare Pages (with Functions for SSR). Took the opportunity to learn how to make a lightweight SSR engine (Claude Code was incredibly helpful for this!). The backend in on Cloudflare Workers. The challenge is getting votes, so I've started to scrape Reddit, running a small sentiment analysis on the posts and storing…

    Hey HN! I am a developer working on a startup doing lots of payment integration stuff with payment providers like Stripe. I built a tool to talk to Stripe data, just so that I can answer questions from our team. I turned that into analytics tool (sort of) to answer questions about MRR, churn, revenue etc. (https://www.dataraccoon.io/). There is a two minute demo video on the page if you want to see how it works, or you can use free trial without needing a credit card.
