Products that do what (Our startup) DistilBio, a search engine for life sciences data does
Link: http://www.distilbio.com DistilBio lets you look up detailed information on drugs, diseases, proteins etc. You can ask questions like "Find drugs which interact with Tylenol, and proteins which are targeted by these drugs", or build more complex queries if you like. While it is targeted at scientists in the life sciences field, we've found that many people like finding out more about drugs they're using, diseases they know about etc. We're continuing to add more data and make it more useful for the layman too. We thought we'd like to show our app to HN users and solicit feedback before…

TL:DR - https://morningbrief.ai/setup Hi, HN -- We're two indie cofounders who bootstrapped a new product to scratch our own itch: there's so much great content out there, but it's hard to find it. Sites like HN serve us like-minded people, but there are many more topics in other non-HN niches. Our idea is this: an email you get once a day, filled with only top articles (posted to HN, Reddit, etc) that match your specific interests. You can specify which interests, and how many links you want. Ranked by our signal score. To start, we built an ingestion engine. In the first few…

Hello community. Some time ago I was trying to create a project for my students using Hacker News data. As you might know, HN offers an official API [0], but it's based on Firebase and I felt it's main usage is to build clients, rather than consult data. I found out that Algolia also provides an official REST API [1]. It's exactly what I needed: the ability to "search" HN. Either by keywords, type of stories (Show HN, Ask HN, etc) and/or date. So I created a thin python wrapper on top of Algolia's Search API: https://github.com/santiagobasulto/python-hacker-news The…

Hi Hacker News! I’m the founder of DocOne (https://docone.io). DocOne delivers the most relevant physicians for any medical condition based on expertise. We currently cover all US physicians and ~4500 conditions. Why? The complexity of medicine is accelerating exponentially. Medical knowledge doubles every few months. To keep up, physicians are focusing on narrow groups of conditions. While there are only around 40 traditional medical specialties, in reality there are >500 ultra-specialties. If there’s one thing we’ve heard over and over from physicians (when they refer their…

Hi HN, I’d like to share MediSearch with you. A few months ago, I had a knee injury and got several surgery options from doctors. I had to make an important decision, but the medical information search experience was terrible. The sites I found either did not answer my questions (long health blogs) or were too technical to easily understand (scientific papers). This gave me and my friend the idea for MediSearch. Our goal is to build a system that provides direct accurate answers to medical questions based on trustworthy sources. We’d like to make MediSearch helpful to everyone and we still…

I'm 17 and recently launched a private beta for Biohack - a tool that scans food products and gives a longevity score based on impact on aging factors such as inflammation, omega ratio, toxins and more. Still early and a bit rough, but I'm looking for honest feedback from people who care about health span and deep nutrition. Would love your thoughts.

hey i made suppscheck so you can find out if your supplements work and are lab-tested for contaminants. they're ordered by evidence according to meta-analysis/randomised controlled trials you can find products that are not great - feature coming

Input a SMILES string (or pick one molecule from the examples) and it returns up to 100k molecules closest in 3-D shape or electrostatic similarity – from 10+ billion scale databases — typically in under 5-10 s. *Why it might interest HN* * Entire index lives on disk — no GPU at query-time, less than ~10 GB RAM total. * Built from scratch (no FAISS index / Milvus / Pinecone). * Index-build cost: one Nvidia T4 (~ 300USD) for one 5.5B database. * Open to anyone, predict ADMET, export results as CSV/SDF. Full write-up & benchmarks (DUD-E, LIT-PCBA, SVS) in the pre-print:…

Almost one year ago I asked HN if anybody is interested to make a Web app to make reading and finding scientific papers smarter [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1664648]. No one did, at least no one did what "I" think is the best way to approach this problem. A a few month ago I decided to do it myself.<p>Meet JournalClub iPad app (absolutely free), http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/journalclub/id443819334? I have a recommendation engine in the pipeline that I would introduce in the next update (hopefully in a month or so). I really appreciate any comments, feedbacks.

Since medical school years ago, I have been trying to find way for long term knowledge management and retention. I finally ended up with Obsidian on the desktop, but it's still difficult to access my knowledge anywhere online, until I made my own online wiki. Things that helped me get to this step: 1. "How to Take Smart Notes" 2. Evergreen notes by Andy: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes. This website shows the culmination of my personal knowledge with search bar. The idea is that I should be able to find what I'm looking for within seconds, otherwise the title…

Hi, I installed that HN clone for all things science. Most likely there are already others out there already, but I thought it's worth a try. Let me know what you think about the idea and what features you would like to see...a search function is on its way...Thanks in advance! http://www.heurekalab.com

https://blendful.com Hi everyone. I'm a technical founder who's built a MVP of a crowdfunding product intended to fund spectroanalysis testing on popular foods for contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Right now food products are a sort of black box, and consumers don't really know what they're getting. I'm looking to elucidate those details. Warmly looking for feedback and/or ideas if you find this useful. Also would be interested in partnerships/cofounders (biz dev/marketing help especially). Thanks so much for reading!

Hi HN! I started working in Cancer Research at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center 4.5 years ago in March 2018. If you thought programming and computers were complex, WAIT until you start trying to wrap your head around cancer. We're talking Orders of Magnitude more complexity. I know it might seem outrageous that a lowly CSV file will help in the quest to build a cure, but I truly believe it might. I think what seems like miracles always comes down to grunt data collection, with a few moments of key insights. Anyway, the site will launch November 1st. Please give it a star and a share…

I love the idea of quantified self and recently decided to pull all of my data in one place. I pull all of my data from ActivityWatch, Wakatime, and Health Connect APIs :)
