Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads.

TuneJourney.comApr 2026 · tunejourney.com · ▲77Hi, I built TuneJourney to solve a specific annoyance: radio ads and DJ chatter. The core feature is an in-browser "AI Skip Talk" filter.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
