24 alternatives to Location based querying on your phone with almost any dataset
For any data source with latitude / longitude info, you can now run queries in a few taps and visualize results based on where your phone's current location (or another location you choose) For instance: * Logistics: Which warehouses near me are sold out of a product and need to be restocked? * Food Delivery: Which orders out for delivery are more than one hour since order time? * Maintenance: What locations near me have high-priority maintenance tickets open? It works with Google Sheets, bigquery, Snowflake, Presto, Trino Software Foundation, Starburst, Oracle MySQL, Postgres, Amazon…

SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

Hey HN Community, I'm excited to share something we have been working on for over the past few months: Locale.ai. Its heart and soul lie in its SQL-configurable nature. You can directly connect Locale to your databases, data warehouse, or any SaaS tool that you use internally and craft custom alerts and ticketing conditions with SQL queries. The issues also get resolved on their own as we can detect them through data. Before starting Locale, we worked across companies and managed tons of cron jobs with email reports, slack alerts for customer success operations and product. It’s a tool born…

Just a fun hack I did while bored over the weekend. My wife was busy shopping, it got me thinking that can VLMs solve the indoor location problem in a mall? Can I just show a VLM a map and an image and have it doa good enough job locating me? I hacked this P.O.C and it seems to work.

Aruko▲38A few months ago I shared my travel app here. Today I'm back with something that solved a real technical challenge I was facing. The problem: Parsing booking confirmation emails accurately. Built a parsing system that: - Distinguishes between connection hubs and actual destinations - Captures all segments (flights, hotels, trains) in the right order - Handles different booking site email formats - Creates complete itineraries automatically Happy to discuss more if anyone's interested :)

Hey! I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own. I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code. Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website/API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable. This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups/month), so there's no need to pay. Any advice or tips on how to grow and…

Hello HN, We spent the last 2 years building software for data teams. After many iterations, we've decided to rebuild everything from scratch and open-source it for the entire community. Latitude is an open-source framework for building high-quality data apps on top of your database or warehouse using SQL and simple frontend components. We're actively looking for feedback and contributors. Let me know your thoughts!

Yet another "talk to your data and build a dashboard" app, where data does not leave your browser. You ask a question, agents produce multiple SQL queries to in-browser sqlite, never seeing results, and write dashboard configuration code. The data you analyze will be indexed with a local semantic index (embeddings generation + sqlite vector search fully local). Next, sandboxed QuickJS runs this code to produce rich dashboards directly in your browser, no backend attached. This is a fully frontend app (except OpenRouter or other remote LLM). All data sent to LLM's is heavily sanitized and…
