Inspec – Specification scheduling software for interior designers
Hi HN, I'm Nick and I built Inspec with my partner Caitlin (she's the interior designer, I'm the developer). Inspec lets interior designers create and manage FF&E schedules - basically spec sheets listing everything that goes in a room before the furniture: flooring, paint, countertops, lighting, fixtures, etc. This process is currently exclusively done using Excel, and while this works to some degree, it comes with a lot of manual work and clunkiness. When Caitlin started working remotely, I watched her deal with these issues daily. So I spent the past 9 months building a better solution.…

In plain words
Inspec is scheduling software for interior designers to create and manage FF&E (furnishings, fixtures, and equipment) specification sheets. It replaces the manual Excel-based process with real-time collaboration, revision control, professional PDF exports, and QR codes for on-site access to the latest versions. The tool maintains a familiar Excel-like workflow while offering customizable fields, designed to reduce the administrative burden of coordinating room specifications across teams and contractors.

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…
