Beaver

Turn noisy community chats into information that matters

What it does

Group chats are great for conversations, but useful information can quickly disappear under hundreds or thousands of new messages. Beaver introduces a different approach. Communities live in Spaces, while Stacks let you define the information that matters to you. Add your interests to a Stack, and Beaver can surface relevant messages from the Spaces you choose. Less searching. Less noise. More of what matters.

    Hi HN! https://flat.social is a web video meeting app for organising fun online meetings & social events. Each participant can move around and talk with others in their proximity.

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life.

The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
