Products that do what VisaWhen – Data on US visa issuance backlogs does

Heya! Not the usual sort of thing to be posted here, but I wanted to show off what I made yesterday. Here's a sample page about H1-B visas issued in Bogota: The code is source-available (not open source) at . It's my first time choosing a source-available license over MIT, mainly out of fear of existing immigration startups just gobbling this data and code up; frankly I didn't think the implications through though, I just threw a safe license on there. The way the project works is: - Use requests-html to find publicly available PDFs from government pages - Use camelot to OCR the PDFs and…

    I built http://www.hirerefugees.org to connect refugees with work visas for safe countries and employers who want to help. Hiring a refugee is a rare chance to change – and possibly save – someone’s life. You can do it for about the same cost as hiring whomever you would have hired otherwise. It may be one of the most efficient ways to make the world better. The Syrian civil war as created the world’s greatest refugee crisis. There has been fighting in every major city for years. Over 160,000 people have been killed since the beginning on the conflict. Over 9 million people have…

    The US Department of Labor releases base salary data for every H-1B visa application and has done so for the past 19 years. This data is often useful to people negotiating an offer, researching a company, or just curious about industry salaries. h1bsalaries.fyi allows you to quickly search through this huge trove of salary data by company name, job title, and location without the obnoxious ads, pop-ups, and distracting elements that are characteristic of other similar websites. In other words, just H-1B salary data. No bullsh*t. Open to thoughts, comments, and feedback.

    Hi HN! Ben here from hyprsqrl, and I just open-sourced something we’ve been quietly running in production: *hyprsqrl is a self-hostable bank. Think Revolut (if you know it), but every line of code is MIT/AGPL, you can run it on your own box, and the crypto bits stay hidden under the hood. --- ### Why we built it Moving money between USD and EUR still means wire fees, surprise freezes, and “call your bank” hoops. Fintechs like Revolut help—until their pricing changes or a regulator knocks. hyprsqrl aims for the resilience of self-hosting *without* forcing users to study crypto. Two…

    After I posted about https://cosme.dev/ask-docs on Reddit I received some messages asking me how If I was going to make the code open source or if I could show them how I did it. So I decided to create this repo so you can take a look at the code and maybe apply the same techniques on your own apps. It's made using only PHP as language so I think is pretty different since most stuff out there is made using python or javascript. It uses the OpenAI API and Redis as a vector database.

    Hey HN! I’m excited to introduce Companero, my open-source ridesharing solution! As a traveler, I often struggled to find rides in smaller cities. So I built Companero on Telegram using pure Java 21 and MongoDB. I recently added a rating system to this app to make rides safer, but all in all, you can request a ride using your location, can see recommended trip price based on your country (it has an index for each country and a currency converter) and much more features. I’d love your feedback and any questions are welcome! Thanks!

    As I couldn't find a proper web based open source tool that could help me with my bookkeeping, I spend a week to built one myself. It's based on laravel and provides revenue, expenses, travel allowance and depreciation sections. Everything is then merged to an annual statement, that can be exported as a pdf and used for tax filing. It's far away from perfect (no tests yet), but I would be happy to hear what you think about it and maybe find someone to join in.

    Hi HN, https://companies.bx.tc My colleague and I put together this tool for easily searching UK company data. We run a few server side batches daily to extract data from various government sources before linking it all together in (what is now) a fairly large database. We're also using this project as a way to test out a new JS UI library we built (similar to Vue, but a bit faster) to see how it stands up in a real project. We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have for how we can improve the dashboard! Thanks :)

    Hi HN! In the last couple of weeks I've been working on Cranki: Cranki = Crosswords + Anki. (It's a stupid name tbh, haha) I like doing crosswords in Spanish (to learn vocab) but none of the apps out there allowed me to use my own list of words that I come across. So I built one instead. It's entirely client-side. No server, no database, no accounts, etc. Your words and stats are stored in local storage. I built this for myself but let me know if you like it!

    I vibe-coded a small project that turns the “Ask HN: Who is hiring?” thread into searchable job data using OpenAI, PostgreSQL, and Metabase. It pulls the thread using the Hacker News API, uses GPT to extract fields like company, role, location, salary, and contact, stores everything in PostgreSQL, and spins up Metabase so you can explore and search the results. Right now it runs locally, but would anyone be interested if I built this out a bit more and made a public dashboard?

    I built a minimal opensource CMS, I use it myself for my blog and for other SaaS. l love blogging, and sometimes I post random thoughts on my blog. The only thing is, I always did it with .md files, which is fine too However, I was excited about the idea of using a CMS that was very minimal and avoiding the option of connecting something like WordPress or other big platforms. Open source (if you want to fork it or contribute) and free to use (unless I see you have a million views haha). Star the repo if you like it!

    This project started with me wanting to find a nice place to live with my partner. I'm a data scientist by day so I thought I'd approach it systematically. When I showed it to my friends, many said they wanted to try it too, so I made it into an app and put it online. (-> MIT licensed) The app is German, but it's translator friendly :) Instead of a single "best place" ranking, it scores ~0.5 km2 hexes across Germany based on user preferences on a dozen or so liveability layers like rent, commute time, recreational potential, noise level, and many more. User preferences are reflected on the…
