AUREA

A dating app focused on real interaction

What it does

Dating apps today often feel passive — endless swiping, ghosting, and very little real interaction.

    SmallTalks was born from my personal experience dating in NYC, where I struggled with the apps for quite a while before eventually figuring things out.

Most online daters are not strategic about designing their Hinge or Bumble profiles but it's actually immensely important to be intentional about that process.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped!
