Hypertest - A test runner for developers with ADHD
TL;DR: a test runner focused on making devs w/ ADHD happy. Hello HN! My name is [redacted], a dev with ADHD. I believe there's different design constraints on tooling for devs with ADHD compared to their "normal"counterparts. That's what I'm here to solve. I gathered experiences of other ADHD devs, to summarize: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33280461) - Memory: People w/ ADHD have horrendous short term memory (hard to keep grasp of the current *thing/task*) - Distraction: Are easily distracted, tend to fall off the focus wagon easily. - Boring…

Hyper: Self-driving Company BrainMay 2026 · heyhyper.ai · ▲121Hey HN -- I'm Shalin, one of the cofounders of Hyper. My cofounder Kanyes and I have been power users of a lot of second brain type software like Notion and Obsidian for years, and tried fine-tuning GPT-2 back in 2020 to solve this exact problem of giving AI access to all context of my life so it can do work for me more intelligently. We were too early then, and spent the next 4 years building robots at Matic. Earlier this year, we realized this was perhaps the right time to take a second crack at this problem, so we quit our jobs and built Hyper. It's super exciting that we finally shipped…
- IBI built a free tool for breaking down tasks into manageable subtasks2024 · voxtodo.com · ▲48
Hi HN! First time posting. I created a tool for my Autistic son who is in high school junior battling severe ADHD symptoms. His difficulties include; 1. Time blindness 2. Lack of executive functioning skills 3. Task initiation issues These three were severely affecting his grades. We had a consultation with a Developmental Psychologist who prescribed Concerta that improves his ability to focus in class. In addition he also has the boilerplate ADHD accommodations(2X time on tests and quiet place to take the test). These collectively improved his test taking abilities. But, when it came to his…

HypermonkeyFeb 2026 · tryhypermonkey.com · ▲6Hey HN, I'm Jon. About a year ago, I built Hypermonkey, a productivity app for my friends who were struggling to stay productive because of their ADHD. I gamified it so my ADHD friends would stick to using the app like Duolingo and start checking off tasks on their to-do lists. The trick is to earn a banana every day by interacting with the app. The app uses the latest GPT and Sonnet models for all the smart features in the app, such as using your voice to add/edit/delete tasks, breaking down your tasks, prioritizing them, or suggesting the next tasks to start. Currently, users can…

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
