Hello Aria▲163I built HelloAria because every task manager I tried required too many steps to do something simple. The core idea: say "remind me to review the PR tomorrow at 10" and it creates the task, sets the reminder, and files it. No forms, no manual input. It works on iOS natively and also through WhatsApp, Telegram, and email — so you can capture tasks from wherever you already are. Tech stack: Swift/SwiftUI on the client, with NLP handling the intent parsing and entity extraction from natural language input. Looking for feedback from the HN community. What would make this actually useful for…

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can't. I went down the ContentEditable rabbit hole for a few years, but always came to realize others had solved it…

Hello! This is Jeane and Samuel and we’re building RecipeUI. RecipeUI is an open source Postman alternative that uses TypeScript to statically type and autocomplete requests. We built this because current API tools don’t deal with the fact that some APIs are just painful to work with. For us, it’s usually error after error as we try to figure out how to properly form the first request. We recorded a demo to show you how TypeScript helps us autocomplete a request correctly. https://youtu.be/O_Mly_p-g5s How does our platform improve the developer experience? The analogy is…

Heynds▲125Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…

Hi HN! I'm Greg and I've been working on Yaak for just over a year. I usually describe it as a Postman alternative since most developers are familiar with that, but it's targeted more toward users that just want an API client (no mocking, testing, spec design, etc). Having also created Insomnia for a similar purpose, I never thought I'd build another API client again. But, after selling Insomnia in 2019 and watching it expand into the broader feature set of Postman, I was left wanting a simpler tool again. Yaak was my answer to that. It's hard to describe how it's better than the 100 other…

Hi HN, Since 2019, I’ve been working on a writing platform designed for creating complex documents (e.g., theses). I personally use it for everything as it also allows to classify documents in categories so you can organize them efficiently. As of a few months ago, the app is also available in the browser, and you can now invite coworkers to collaborate on a document in real time. The app is somewhat inspired by LyX. It offers an intuitive, modern editor, but users don’t need to know any LaTeX. When it’s time to export, they can choose from a range of templates (IEEE paper, thesis, etc.). A…
