Helios

What it does

Most freelancers pay £80-100/month across HubSpot, Harvest, Bonsai and Mailchimp — tools that never talk to each other. Helios replaces all of them. Leads, sequences, invoices, proposals, contracts and time tracking in one place — with automation built in. Sequences run automatically. Invoices chase themselves. Stale leads surface before they go cold. Free plan available. 14-day Pro trial, no card required.

  A $20/year invoicing tool for solo developers (simple, fast, no bloat)Dec 2025 · sidepay.app · ▲13

  Hi HN! I built a super lightweight invoicing platform for solo developers, freelancers, and one-person businesses. Most invoicing software costs $20–$40/month and is packed with features you don’t need. Mine is $20/year and focuses on the essentials: • Create invoices in seconds • Send invoices by email • Automatic email reminders • Recurring invoices • Simple dashboard for paid/unpaid tracking • No team features, no CRM, no bloat I built this because I freelance occasionally, and every invoicing tool I tried either felt bloated, overly enterprisey, or was way too expensive…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
