AuraText
I built AuraText – a free Windows app that sits on top of every app (Notion, VS Code, Slack, Word) and optimizes your AI prompts before they reach the model. The problem: most people get bad AI outputs because their prompts are vague. AuraText transforms raw prompts using frameworks like RISEN, COSTAR, and RTF – same AI, better input, dramatically better output. Key things it does: - Works as a floating overlay in any Windows app - Built-in AI router (Claude for analysis, GPT-4 for creative, Gemini for research) - Bring your own API keys – no subscription - Supports 11 providers including…
AuraText launched on October 22, 2025 with 10 votes, #1,488 of 8,178 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
AuraText is an AI-powered text assistant for Windows 10/11. Generate, edit, and insert AI text seamlessly into any application with intelligent cursor locking.
AuraText is the prompt-less engine for AI. Describe what you want in plain language. AuraText discovers what's missing, figures out what AI needs, and sends a complete request to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Cursor — automatically.
You know what you want. You just don't know what AI needs to get there. AuraText figures that out for you. Tell AuraText what you want. AuraText figures out everything AI needs. Between what you want and what AI produces is a gap most people never close. Tell AuraText what you want. AuraText figures out what AI needs. Tell AuraText what you're trying to build. It asks the right questions, applies proven decision frameworks, and turns your goal into a complete request — automatically. Before a senior developer, writer, or strategist talks to AI, they think through goals, constraints, and edge cases. AuraText applies that same thinking process for you, every single time.

AppifyText.ai2023 · appifytext.ai · ▲65Hi HN, on Feb 2023 I shared AppifyText, an early experiment in AI-powered text-to-app generation: you type what app you want, and it builds it automatically. That first version was very much a proof of concept. Today I’m sharing v2, which is a significant step forward in terms of output quality. What’s new in v2: 1) Better prompt comprehension – It follows complex instructions more accurately. 2) Richer app content – Generates structured apps with more details (e.g. master-detail relationships are auto-detected). 3) User roles understanding – e.g. “Sales reps and customers can access the…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
