    Hey HN! We're so excited to show you Val Town (https://val.town)! A "val" is a JavaScript/TypeScript function or value that runs on our servers. We aim to get you from idea to running code in seconds: type code, run it, get its API endpoint, schedule it - all from the browser, in a couple keystrokes. We're a startup of 4 people, mostly in NYC. We've been working on this for 6 months and are eager for feedback from the HN community. Why do we need yet another online coding IDE? While researching devtools[1], I found myself wanting something halfway between Replit and Zapier: a…

    Hi HN, I’m Joan, the developer of Quicklang. I made this app to easily translate and keep in sync all my localization JSON files for my side projects. While searching online for a similar tool, I only found enterprise solutions that do not allow direct editing of JSON files. I used to use ChatGPT to translate the JSON translation file changes before coding Quicklang. However, I realized that ChatGPT only allows you to input short content for translation into another language (even if you provide a .json file), and each time I had to request translations for one language at a time. So, I…

    A few years ago, right after high school, I decided to try to make a simultaneous translation app for Android as a side project, it took longer than expected (about 2 years) and I had to make a lot of compromises (I had to use Google's API and therefore make users use a developer key because at the time there were no free solutions for speech recognition and translation that had good quality). At the end of university, I decided to pick it up again and finally, using OpenAi's Whisper for speech recognition and Meta's NLLB for translation (with both running locally on the phone), I managed to…

    Hello ! David from Spain here :) I built TransLite because I was tired of breaking my flow every time I needed to translate something before sending it. The usual workflow was: copy → open a browser tab → paste → translate → copy again → paste back. I've created a small macOS menubar app that lets you translate the current clipboard instantly using a keyboard shortcut, in any app. It works locally and supports using your own OpenAI / Claude API key. It’s intentionally simple — no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions. Happy to answer any questions. Best regards, David

    Glovio▲11

    Hi HN, Like many of you, I've neglected localizing my apps because the process is a hassle. Managing 10+ languages across iOS and Android usually involves a chaotic mix of Google Sheets and manual copy-pasting. I built Glovio to automate this. It centralizes your title, description, and keywords. The feature I'm most proud of is the Image Text Extraction. It analyzes your marketing graphics to catch English text that needs translating—something I often forgot until users complained. I'm looking for feedback from other mobile devs on how you currently handle this pipeline. Is this better than…

    I built this because I was frustrated with how messy translation files get as projects scale. Most i18n solutions force you to manage big JSON dictionaries, spread across multiple files, and then manually wire everything into your UI. It quickly becomes hard to keep things organized, especially in component-heavy apps. This approach is component-first i18n: translations live close to the UI they belong to. That makes it easier to keep things organized, avoid duplication, and scale without the usual chaos of string management. It’s lightweight, works with React/Next.js, and is designed…
