Heynds
Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…

NovaVoiceApr 2026 · novavoice.app · ▲578Hey HN, Today I’d like to show what I’ve recently built with my 2 friends. We’ve called it Nova. The idea is to built all-purpose AI Voice Assistant, which is able to interact with mail, to-do apps, messengers and socials, task trackers, apps like UberEats, Notion and some other daily apps. How we decided to work on it: We’ve recently read YC Request for startups Summer25 and were inspired by the idea of AI Voice Assistant for Mail by YC partner Tyler Bosmeny. What we’ve got: We’ve gone a bit further than Assistant for mail only and connected Gmail, Todoist, Google Calendar, and…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
