   Hello Aria▲163

   I built HelloAria because every task manager I tried required too many steps to do something simple. The core idea: say "remind me to review the PR tomorrow at 10" and it creates the task, sets the reminder, and files it. No forms, no manual input. It works on iOS natively and also through WhatsApp, Telegram, and email — so you can capture tasks from wherever you already are. Tech stack: Swift/SwiftUI on the client, with NLP handling the intent parsing and entity extraction from natural language input. Looking for feedback from the HN community. What would make this actually useful for…

    Pivots and millions later, I built a lambda to start WhatsApp chats▲23

    I've been working on my startup for years to no avail. Raised VC money and burned through millions - now built a simple service that lets you add a "chat to us" button (or can hook to your forms) to launch a WhatsApp chat. The key here is that the button can open chats with different WhatsApp numbers based on rules you can set. These rules can be based on the website visitor's geography, language, time spent on your site or even your business's office hours. Can also hook onto existing forms and use form fields in the rules too. Try it out on our site by clicking the chat to us button and…
