Products that do what I built a monitor for AMC movie tickets does

Reverse engineered the AMC GraphQL API to monitor for tickets to Oppenheimer, but the code should be fairly easy to modify to monitor other movies / formats / theatres. This was just a fun weekend project between a concert, Yankees game, and seeing the movie myself. I'm monitoring AMC Lincoln Square over at https://twitter.com/OppenheimerTix if you live in or near NYC and want to see the movie in 70MM, which I would highly recommend.

    Hey HN, I am the creator of senatestockwatcher.com and im finally happy to say that the same data that is filed from the House of Representatives is now live for everyone to watch, report against, and use. https://housestockwatcher.com When Senate Stock Watcher was released, the US was in the midst of an election year and after the COVID market crash the SEC had opened some investigations on 3 Senators for insider trading allegations. My interest in politics and finance lead me to build that website, but the number one question I always got was "where is the houses' data?" The…

    Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted. The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore. Repo: https://github.com/kadoa-org/congress-trading-monitor Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements!

    I've never posted on ShowHN before, but I wanted to share my Xmas 2025 project; to try a new approach to controlling our kids screen time. This also involved massively over-engineering a solution in order to play with a shiny new gadget (and avoid the in laws at Christmas, obviously) I've shared some learnings on AI coding with embedded devices, and how I approached the product design/hardware selection side of things. The Web App is at https://screenie.org - and I'm Open Sourcing the device and web app code later today (links to follow on that site)

    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 Things would go out of date, and then no one would really know if we were on track.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…

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/movies-trailers-showtimes/id954721891?mt=8 I'm proud to show you the latest version of my passion project Marquee - an app for discovering movies, showtimes and trailers. It's chockfull of little details that make the app a pleasure to use. Rather than try to raise funding and pursue this full time, I've chosen to do this on 'Hard Mode' and treat it as a side project until it gets more traction. I realize that probably creates a catch 22 situation. How can I get traction if I don't devote time to it. Given my current life…

    I was watching "Longlegs" yesterday in the movie theater and couldn't find a good time for a bathroom break. So, I made a free app today that tells you the best time to step out during a movie without missing anything important. Check it out and enjoy it for free! You can start a timer that updates even when your phone is locked. See current movies playing in theaters. I’ve added stuff by hand, so please don’t scream if it’s not 100% right. Feedback welcome!

    I've made an web app to create collabrative watchlist with my friend(s). Easily create the list, invite your friends and start making movie lists private to you. Check it out! I am open to feedbacks. If you find any bugs or some feature suggesitons I'll do it in a couple day or hours. Thank you.

    I built a free, anonymous app for sorting ideas collectively. I feel like this could be useful for product teams prioritizing tickets as well as friends choosing what movie to go see. This is my second time posting in case it fell under the radar, but I won't post it again. Not spamming! I built it using https://partykit.dev/ and it runs on Cloudflare. It was actually pretty easy to throw together in a week. Let me know what you think or if there are tweaks that could make it more useful for you and your team. Thanks!

    I was already doing this semi-manually for a handful a websites of my own and then I thought "Hey, other people might want to do this too". Tracking the Google homepage and BBC News can be pretty fun too. Got my first paid customer on the weekend, which felt good. :) Anyway, here's the site: http://dailyscreenshot.com/ Thoughts, comments, feedback?

    Hey yall, I built this for my makerspace. We wanted to let each other borrow things, but also didn't want to put up a big shiny sign saying "hey everyone, my garage has a super fancy oscilloscope just sitting there" and also didn't want to necessarily always need to say yes to everything. However, when I show it to people, they've been suggesting using it for other things like board games, or wedding equipment, etc. I'm still trying to find PMF, so please let me know what you think! For the stack, it's all Elixir + LiveView which is really nice, and then Fly.io, Fly's MPG, Tigris Data,…

    Hi HN, The two of us are working on our real time analytics service Worldlogger for two-an-a-half months now. Today we rolled out a new version. It still has some bugs here and there, but it works :) Worldlogger kind of does what Chartbeat and Getclicky are doing, but we try to mix the best from both worlds ;) Curious what you think about it! http://worldlogger.com/ Cheers E

    Hey any astrophysicist reading hn there? Was sick in august (yeah isn't that nice) and made a small python fits table viewer for the terminal with textual. It would be great to have people try it so if you find any issue I can improve it. If you have no FITS file but would like to try regardless there are some test file in `/test`. Ciao!

    14 years ago, I launched my original version of TicketData via a Show HN. While the public site didn't get traction, the data proved valuable to those in the ticketing industry, and it became a B2B data product that's kept me busy ever since. I'm now relaunching the front-end site as a totally free and public tool for anyone to make smarter decisions when buying tickets for live events. The re-launched site shows live resale price charts (using data from sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, etc) that update as often as every few minutes. You can see price history for the cheapest…

    I put this together to simplify finding where to watch an online movie. I'm not picky about which provider I use, but I do have an order of where I check for availability first. I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime, so my process usually goes: check Netflix, check Amazon Prime, compare prices between iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu rentals. It's an inefficient process, so I aggregated everything to one search. This is a "for fun" project to get familiar with Solr. I am about to push a "Newly Released" page, and if anyone has any other suggestions or comments, I'd be very appreciative. For those…

    Hey HN. I built an AI agent harness over the past few months and I'm open sourcing it today. Some context on why. I've been building with Claude Code daily using this harness. It orchestrates multiple AI agents as a team, with a dashboard, chat, kanban board, the works. I used it to build a full SaaS product (MyUpMonitor, https://myupmonitor.com) in about 24 hours of focused coding. Then yesterday Anthropic announced Mythos and decided to keep it behind closed doors. Meanwhile I'm paying for Claude and I can't access their best model. I don't think that is nice at all... So I'm…

    There are exactly two audiences that I can think of that might understand the punchlines which I am rather proud of one is in Las Vegas and the other is right here, which I can reach from my home in Texas.
