Dwellable – The app I built after waiving home inspection during Covid
When my wife and I bought our first home in 2020, it was peak COVID. Our agent actually asked us to waive the home inspection, which was terrifying. I ended up walking through the house myself with a set of handwritten notes: “check if Kitchen outlets are GFI,” “make sure toilet flushes”, “test the bath fan”, etc. That experience became the seed for Dwellable, a home maintenance and inspection app for homeowners like us who didn’t know where to start (both before and after buying). The app automatically pulls your property records (square footage, year built, fuel type, etc.) and uses AI to…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
When my wife and I bought our first home in 2020, it was peak COVID. Our agent actually asked us to waive the home inspection, which was terrifying. I ended up walking through the house myself with a set of handwritten notes: “check if Kitchen outlets are GFI,” “make sure toilet flushes”, “test the bath fan”, etc. That experience became the seed for Dwellable, a home maintenance and inspection app for homeowners like us who didn’t know where to start (both before and after buying). The app automatically pulls your property records (square footage, year built, fuel type, etc.) and uses AI to recommend reminders and seasonal maintenance tasks. It’s free right now, built entirely native on iOS and Android. On the side, I’ve been experimenting with VLMs (vision language models) to analyze photos that users take during inspections, for things like spotting corrosion or damaged caulking. If you’ve ever felt lost after closing on a house, this might resonate. Tech stack: - Backend: Python + gRPC, RabbitMQ - AI: Perplexity + OpenAI - iOS: SwiftUI - Android: Fully compose Would love feedback!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

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…

Hey 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…
