Big Stepper

Earn Your Screen Time — Walk First, Scroll Later

Big Stepper launched on September 11, 2025 with 6 votes, #3,803 of 9,306 launches that month.

What it does

Big Stepper is a behavior-first app that converts movement into access. Instead of nagging or permanent blocking, it asks one simple thing: move a little, then use your phone. The result? More energy, better focus, and phone time that actually feels earned.

    Progressor – coach that breaks down big goals into actionable steps2025 · progressor.me · ▲32

    I built Progressor to help with a problem I kept running into: setting ambitious goals but getting stuck in planning, motivation, or knowing what to do next. You start by describing your goal — the more detailed, the better. Progressor then asks a series of targeted questions to understand your situation. Based on your answers, it creates a personalized step-by-step plan with small, focused daily tasks. Each task comes with relevant guidance and resources. You can adjust the plan at any point, and Progressor sends reminders to help you stay on track. This is not a habit tracker or to-do list…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • 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. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
