Products that do what How Loud Is My Hotel? does
Hey HN, I build "How Loud Is My Hotel?" as a simple way to check for possible loud noise near a hotel (or any other address) before booking it. I've had some negative experiences in the past so this automatically checks for things like nearby Clubs, Police Stations with sirens, big roads, railroads etc. and gives you a "noise score" based on them. It's free, works worldwide and needs no account. It estimates outside noise risk rather than measuring decibels, so building insulation and temporary noise aren’t included.

I built didtheywinornot.com this week in my spare hours before work. Currently it only does baseball scores, but as new seasons start in the fall, I think I'll expand it to other sports. Would love some feedback and any ideas as to how to make it better, keeping in mind that this is meant to be single purpose and not at all bloated. Did I miss a stat that people really care about? Is the amount of information good enough?

I got tired of bookmarking weather sites wherever I went so I created this. It generates a forecast based on your current location. I'd really appreciate any criticism and feedback even more so.

I'd like to get some input on my project from the Hacker News community. The Reddit thread can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/j5bl3/can_whoever_makes_browsers_please_consider_adding/ The extension itself is located here: http://www.mutetab.com/ Basically, my project is a Chrome extension that attempts to provide browser-wide sound management to the extent possible within an extension. It helps a user find what is making sound by identifying what is possibly making sound, allows automatically muting background sounds, and provides a context menu with sound…

311 is NYC's consolidated line for non-emergency local government services. They'll forward complaints to the correct department, everything from missed trash pickup to apartments without heat or hot water. I was browsing through their data and was surprised to discover that more than a quarter of all complaints -- hundreds of thousands per year -- are noise related. I built NoisyNYC on top of the noise-related data. No plans for commercialization, this is a small side project.

I made this simple site that tells you which travel adapter you need for your next trip. I found myself googling this info and always being linked to a random article that was super long. Decided to make this crisp page that gives key info above the fold. Built with NextJS + Tailwind. I'd love some feedback and what should I add?

I built https://www.Bonvago.com in my spare time as a friendlier alternative to other hotel booking engines. Slow dev server, no VC cash, no hype—just me + caffeine, so thanks for your patience. Every “painfully’ slow search helps improve speed. What it does: - Unlocks hidden rates (AAA, Costco, double points, etc.) - Summarizes hotel reviews using AI so you don’t have to doomscroll. - Gives you BONV points (aka tokens you can spend on hotel bookings). - Travel agents get 10% commissions (most OTAs give you like... 6%) Up Next (maybe): Flights, rental cars, tours, cruises—and an AI…

Hola HN, I thought I'd show off a new hobby project I've been working on! It's called SeenDB and is a site to help music fans remember all of the concerts they've been to. If that sounds cool, check it out at http://seendb.com or see my blog post here: http://blog.justinthiele.com/seendb-site-remember-concerts-youve-been-to/ Happy Holidays! Justin

Hello fellow hackers! I love creating products that solve people's needs. One day, my wife asked me if I knew of any tools that could help plan a week-long company getaway. The requirements were fairly straightforward: - 14 people - A 7-day trip - Sometime in the next 6 months They weren’t concerned about choosing the exact time yet; they just needed to know which dates would work for everyone—or put another way, when does it NOT work? I searched but couldn’t find anything that met this specific need, so I decided to build it myself. The concept is simple: think of it as an inverse Doodle.…
