Kula – a family health platform that makes sense of your data
My parents are in India, I'm in the US. Their health system was continuous WhatsApp photos of lab reports, vague updates over the phone, and me finding out about doctor visits weeks later. So I built Kula. Upload lab reports (photo, PDF, WhatsApp forward) and it have them parsed and track trends. Connect a wearable and track daily health signals as well as your baselines. Everything goes into one record you can search and review over time. There's a chat layer where you can ask questions in plain language like, "what's my dad's cholesterol trend showing", and get a sourced answer from your…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
My parents are in India, I'm in the US. Their health system was continuous WhatsApp photos of lab reports, vague updates over the phone, and me finding out about doctor visits weeks later. So I built Kula. Upload lab reports (photo, PDF, WhatsApp forward) and it have them parsed and track trends. Connect a wearable and track daily health signals as well as your baselines. Everything goes into one record you can search and review over time. There's a chat layer where you can ask questions in plain language like, "what's my dad's cholesterol trend showing", and get a sourced answer from your own data. Primarily built it for my family. My parents told me they'd use it even without me, just to have their records organized before doctor visits. That truly changed how I think about it. Looking for feedback on this platform. Would you use this? What are your thoughts? What's missing? www.mykula.health

all alternatives →- AJA journaling service that runs over WhatsApp2024 · todayhasbeen.com · ▲126
Hey Hacker News, I’m excited to share a tiny service that’s very close to my heart - Today Has Been. Here’s how it works: We have a phone number that has WhatsApp Business API enabled. Your messages sent to this number (after you activate your free trial) are added to your journal. It’s a super light weight journaling service - no app download or registration is required. We also send you a daily nudge asking “How did your day go?” and after you have a few posts we send you a random blast from the past. Why I built it: I was an active user and fan of Ohlife - only journalling app that could…
- WLWhatsApp-Llama: A clone of yourself from your WhatsApp conversations2023 · github.com · ▲124
Hello HN! I've been thinking about the idea of a LLM thats a clone of me - instead of generating replies to be a helpful assistant, it generates replies that are exactly like mine. The concept's appeared in fiction numerous times (the talking paintings in Harry Potter that mimic the person painted, the clones in The Prestige), and I think with LLMs, there might actually be a possibility of us doing something like this! I've just released a fork of the facebookresearch/llama-recipes which allows you to fine-tune a Llama model on your personal WhatsApp conversations. This adaptation can…
- KSKurisu – Statistical dashboard in a single HTML fileJan 2026 · nocturnefoundry.gumroad.com · ▲5
I built Kurisu to solve a specific problem I kept encountering: analyzing sensitive data in offline settings without IT approval or cloud uploads and without needing to login and out of accounts on every device i own. The constraints led to interesting technical decisions: *Single-file architecture:* The entire app is one HTML file. No build process, no npm install, no deployment. You can WhatsApp it to yourself and open it on any device with a browser. This bypasses corporate IT restrictions and makes distribution trivial. *Statistical engine in Web Workers:* Implements Spearman Rank…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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…
