24 alternatives to Fonic – turning scattered work into a shareable report
Hi HN! We’ve been working on Fonic, a tool for turning scattered notes, metric, transcripts, screenshots, and project updates into an interactive report you can easily share. Here’s a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNzw_h2Ztnw We kept hearing the same complaint from account managers: they were spending hours every week building client updates. Most of the source material already existed. The hard part was pulling it together from docs, Slack threads, screenshots, transcripts, and project tools and turning it into something they're proud enough to send. We found…

Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

folio▲74hi HN! a couple of months ago I had to analyze a few thousand audio recordings to help identify issues with customer support. i was able to get some raw high-level initial results with python scripts invoking LLM APIs, but they were too general and unhelpful. writing basic prompts is easy, but tuning them and making them specific enough to ensure no faint signal is missed is hard. you need to iterate through the data with an initial prompt, segment the data into different buckets, chain another prompt for each bucket etc. Then you need to constantly review the raw data to tweak the prompts…

Hi HN! I'm Kam, the founder and one of the authors of Linen. Today, we are launching Linen.team (https://linen.team/), a lightweight threaded messaging app for your team. Modern workplace messaging apps (like Slack) are based on IRC, which is great for small groups, but as it scales, breaks down quickly: you either get overwhelmed by notifications or you have to turn them all off. Most chat apps have threads tacked on but aren't built from the ground up with this design in mind. We wanted to create a thread-first experience where you can organize and prioritize conversations…

Hi HN! Flat’s a lot like Trello, but with a cleaner, simpler, friendlier UI and real discussion threads. Flat also sports a first-class GitHub integration. To take it for a spin without signing up, just go to https://try.flat.app. And there’s also a quick demo video here: https://youtu.be/NW2c9cZVaD0 We made Flat for ourselves, after a decade of wanting a simple, lightweight tool to stay on top of our work and not finding one. Trello is close, but we find it really frustrating to use in lots of ways. And most everything else is way too complex. We think there’s a…

Hello HN Community! I've transformed the "Ask HN: Who's hiring? (November 2023)" post into a Google Sheet. Here's a quick rundown of the method: I utilized the Hacker News Algolia Search API to extract data. You can find the specific thread URL here: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=comment,st... Using a GET request, I fetched comments from the thread and processed them via the ChatGPT API. Employing the ChatGPT API for each comment, I parsed crucial job details such as company, position, location, and more. This information was structured and…

Hi HN! We're Seth, Andrew, & Marcin. After a decade of wanting a simple, lightweight teamwork tool and not finding one, we decided to build one ourselves. We’re calling it Flat, and we have two main goals: 1. Everyone can figure it out in just a few minutes, from the intern to the zero-patience CEO. 2. It doesn’t create extra work for anybody. Everything written in Flat would have been written somewhere anyway; Flat just provides an obvious, consistent place to put it. If you check out the demo, please let us know how you think we’re doing on these goals and where we could do better. (Mobile…

He HN, I'm an entrepreneur, and I help startups to ship products. I find out that for startups tools like Jira, Monday, slack and others are expensive and unnecessarily complex. That's why I decided to built a Freemium software for simplifying project management process. Workfeed is all-in-one soft, including docs, kanban boards. I plan to add chats in couple of months too. I hope this product will help you to manage your projects simpler and faster. Would love your feedback plz Enjoy !!

I have been a daily HN reader and would like to use this as a starting point to show SimWorkflow so that the HN community can get to know SimWorkflow. This project has been the love child of myself for the past year or so. A bit of background: Previously, I worked as a consultant specializing in designing, implementing, and maintaining Business Process Management and Content Management Solutions. I was surprised at the effort required to implement such solutions; specifically, the time it took, the number of people involved, and the amount of custom code. I thought: What if we could make…

Hello! I used an LLM to extract structured data from each comment on the “Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (January 2024)” post, available at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38842977. This created a dataset of 400+ jobs with data such as title, company name, location, is job remote, salary data, and the URL/email to contact. For the UI, a NextJS static site was created to filter and view the structured data.

Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of Erudyte, a platform providing computer science teaching tools. We’re excited to share it with HN! Our website is https://erudyte.io/ and you can try it now without creating an account. As students we didn't like the traditional method of coding on paper. Not being able to test our code and the inconsistencies in grading made the process frustrating for both us and our teachers. Therefore, we developed a platform that simplifies authoring and grading questions. You can generate hundreds of test cases easily using a no-code visual test case…

A friend and I built this as a side project to help us collaborate on files with our agents. Claude / Codex kept outputting .md and .html files which are great until we needed to share them, so we built this small website to help with that. Agent can either use an HTTP + Skill or an MCP which also uses MCP Apps to add widgets to Claude Desktop / Mobile chat. Would love any feedback and hopefully this helps someone else as it did us!

Hello HN! I did a Show HN a while ago regarding a project I’ve been working on called SheetSQL, which enables users to query and join their Google Sheets data with simple SQL in seconds. > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39689685 I’m happy to announce a new feature: Workflows! With workflows you will be able to define data operations that transform or operate over your sheets as sources. Currently the supported operations are SheetSQL queries and sending an email with the output of an operation. Expect more to come soon! You can think of a workflow as a DAG (directed…

Hi HN, I’m Safoan, founder of Narrativee. We built Narrativee because we realized how it sucks it to get a clear picture from raw spreadsheet files. I found myself spending hours staring at rows and columns, trying to extract context and manually turn that data into documents I could actually share with my team. The Problem Spreadsheets are great for calculation, but terrible for communication. To get the "story" behind the data, you usually have to screenshot charts or write long emails explaining what the numbers mean. This is why we built Narrativee to remove that friction in minutes. >…

I was experimenting with building a local dataset generator with deep research workflow a while back and that got me thinking. what if the same workflow could run on my own files instead of the internet. being able to query pdfs, docs or notes and get back a structured report sounded useful. so I made a small terminal tool that does exactly that. I point it to local files like pdf, docx, txt or jpg. it extracts the text, splits it into chunks, runs semantic search, builds a structure from my query, and then writes out a markdown report section by section. it feels like having a lightweight…

Hey HN! I'm a founder first, lawyer second. I understand code stacks well enough to explain them, but I've never been able to actually build software, and this has been a chip on my shoulder my entire life. So Scribefully started as my first vibe coding project last summer. I'd read that building something with HN-style upvoting was a good learning project, and I was curious to try Claude Code. The more I built, the more I realized I wanted what it evolved into: a single place to aggregate all my scattered professional work -– articles, papers, videos, code -– into one shareable page, with…

Hi HN, I'm the CEO at https://replay.io. We've been working on time travel debugging for web development for a while (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28539247) and more recently an AI app builder that uses that debugger to get past problems instead of spinning in circles (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43258585). We've gotten to where we can pretty easily build apps to replace business-critical SaaS tools, some of which we're now using internally: * We built our own issue tracker to keep track of all our development projects, tickets, bug…
