I was tired of people dmming me just "hi", so I made this - NoGreeting
most people on social media don't know how to text they think starting with a greeting and waiting for a response is kind because that's telephone etiquette, but don't understand that doing that over text is like someone calling you, saying "hello," then putting YOU on hold. literally making the other person do extra work to find out what you want. so I made this website Instead of spending time explaining them this concept (and maybe coming off as very rude), I just keep this in my bio or send them this link when they do. Pick your name. Pick the greeting trigger. Get a link. (optionally…

In plain words
NoGreeting is a tool that generates shareable links to educate people about text etiquette. Users customize their name and greeting triggers, then share the link when someone opens a conversation with just "hi" or similar greetings. Recipients receive a friendly explanation of why leading with context in messages saves time and reduces back-and-forth exchanges. Available in 16 languages, it helps people establish communication preferences without awkward direct confrontation. The tool is designed for anyone frustrated with inefficient texting habits among their social networks.

I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings2022 · unblah.me · ▲451Hey HN! Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York. I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings. The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by: * Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking * Catching myself before I talk too much * Developing a better sense of timing I truly love having conversations with people in real-life. But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The…
OverleadFeb 2026 · overlead.co · ▲146Here's the problem: I launched two products. I wrote blog posts. I posted on X, built in public. I tried running ads. And you know what actually got me customers? Replying to someone on Reddit who asked, "What's the best tool for this?" One reply. Three signups. I felt like an idiot for not doing it sooner. But here's the issue: I don't have time to refresh Reddit all day looking for these posts. I have products to build. Bugs to fix. Emails to answer. Life to live. So I built Overlead to do the searching for me. Overlead scans Reddit, Quora, and Hacker News (and many more to come) for…

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…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey 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…
