Midday▲969I’ve been working on automating bookkeeping tasks, and one big pain point was manually reconciling receipts with bank transactions. We built a system that runs in the background, parses receipts (including Gmail), suggests matches, and learns from confirmations to auto-match over time. It's built into Midday and fully open-source. Let me know if you have any questions!

Ever looked at a price tag and thought, How many hours do I need to work for this? Instead of just seeing numbers, what if you could instantly see the cost in terms of your time?

Whether you're shopping online or budgeting, it helps you make decisions with time in mind, not just money. Just enter your hourly wage, and the extension automatically overlays the converted value on any product page. No more impulse buys—just instant, clear insight into what something really…

Hi HN - Like many in tech, I've thought about relocating to different cities. But comparing salaries, income tax, housing costs, and overall cost of living is hard. It's hard to know where you'd actually save up more money. So I built a site to make it easier. It's my first HN project, hope you find it useful. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Hi HN, I built AffordWhere to answer a question I kept running into: “If I earn X, where can I actually afford to live comfortably?” The site lets you compare cities based on income, rent, taxes, and day-to-day costs, and see how far a salary realistically goes in each place. It’s intentionally simple: Focused on affordability rather than averages Designed for relocation and remote-work decisions No account required I’d appreciate feedback on: Whether the affordability framing is useful Missing cost factors you’d expect Data accuracy or methodology concerns Link:…

Excited to share my New Year’s project. For a long time, I’ve wanted to build H-1B data directly into Levels.fyi. Every time I went looking for this data elsewhere, it was a frustrating experience to use. Most H-1B sites felt antiquated, unintuitive, cluttered with ads, or just overwhelming to use. The data was there, but it wasn’t usable, and definitely not pleasant to explore. So out of that frustration, I decided to build the H-1B data experience I personally wanted to use. Right into Levels.fyi. https://levels.fyi/h1b/ Some other pages I'm excited about: Wage Heatmap:…
