Products that do what We made a global competition for one math problem a day does
Hi HN! We’re Devin and Aki. We made Pegasus to explore ideas on how to make learning more engaging. We were inspired by our own experience as students – we grew up being bored or disinterested with school, but found that friendly competition through our school’s math and science team was a great motivator for learning. Every day at midnight (PST), a new problem is released on pegasus.fm. As the first of many experiments we’re planning, we’d love to hear your feedback!

Hi All - I'm Eric, and I’ve been working on a math-tutoring application that continually adapts to a child’s learning needs as they answer questions: www.grokkoli.com/beta (introduces new concepts in granular steps, figures out where/how learners might be confused & attempts to resolve it, speeds kids past the stuff they understand clearly, tracks their recall, answer-speed, and more). Currently in beta, looking for families with kids in grades 1-6 to beta-test. Especially interested in taking on families that are finding math to be a challenge. Happy to share more details if…

Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!

I'm trying to get the motivation up to actually finish building out a "real" product, and I found myself needing a "win" to keep my momentum up. So, I hacked out a little one sentence journal app last night. I experimented with a few UI things (e.g.., the autosaving of the sentence for today and so on), so it was a good learning experience also. You can check it out at: http://osod.im

Hi HN, Last month, I have worked with my team here at Amy.app to make a stand-alone SAT Tutor. I'm pretty excited about this product, as it's our first attempt to make a stand-alone product targeted directly at students. So far all our products were targeted at teachers/schools/publishers. But we never found product-market fit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Our SAT-Math tutor is designed to find your knowledge gaps and gets you up-to-speed as fast as possible. We believe it offers a fresh approach on how online learning usually works. Please let me know what you think. The product has a 3 days…

Hello HN, When my daughter was in 2nd grade, I signed her up for math contests as a last resort to spark her interest in learning math. It was a success - being surrounded by smart kids who earned medals for their hard work made her perceive being good at math as "cool." I started hosting math contests at my workplace for colleagues' kids, and my daughter eagerly participated in dozens of these through elementary and middle school, continuing to this day. The hard part was helping her prepare. One-off sessions wouldn't work - I needed a long-term system. I had to source problems and…

Hi HN, This is ProofTree, and in TLDR: it is a platform where you can chat with an AI to do math, the way you already do, with context-awareness and knows how you personally do math, connected to the fora of other live human mathematicians. So, when you are talking to an AI about a proof at 3 am, and you need a human expert looking at it, or a discussion around it, like you do on StackExchange, this is it! You need an approved email account to use it, so please write here if you would live to try it out.

Hi Hacker News! My friend and I [1] would like to share with you something we did this week-end. We really like the idea of game jams like the Ludum Dare, and we’d like to participate, but it’s often complicated for us, as we are often limited by the rules inherent to this kind of competition: we have to be available at specific dates, and the rules doesn’t always work for us. For example: if you want to participate as a team in a Ludum Dare compo, you have 72h instead of 48h, and you are not required to publish your code. We realized that what we really like is: - To work together. - The…

Built this with my roommate over the weekend. At the end of the game, GPT will share its reasoning for each choice, which yields some funny results and explains why its so hard to win. Enjoy!

I had an idea for this concept for a while and decided to build a little website around it. It's kind of a silly idea but I'm really curious to see how it plays out. If you're a particularly curious person, be warned. By submitting a payment to the game, you get to see how many other people were curious enough to play. You will be ranked based on your payment amount, and get to discover some interesting insights about the game's dynamics. Hope you like it

If you're currently caffeinated you may or may not want to hop on to this zap-or-confetti mental math operant conditioning chamber Sorry for the low effort app slop but this is what you get haha Certified sound free because that sort of dopamine is just distracting

I’m a math grad student. I wanted to create ephemeral calculator documents and spreadsheets that I can quickly use along with AI and embed in blog posts. I ended up making a bunch of collaborative calculators that support embedding, shareable live links, and an MCP interface.
