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…

Kula – Lightweight, self-contained Linux server monitoring toolMar 2026 · github.com · ▲93Zero dependencies. No external databases. Single binary. Just deploy and go. I needed something that would allow for real-time monitoring, and installation is as simple as dropping a single file and running it. That's exactly what Kula is. Kula is the Polish word for "ball," as in "crystal ball." The project is in constant development, but I'm already using it on multiple servers in production. It still has some rough edges and needs to mature, but I wanted to share it with the world now—perhaps someone else will find it useful and be willing to help me develop it by testing or providing…
- 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…
Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service2025 · kuvasz-uptime.dev · ▲29A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI. Highlights - configurable uptime & SSL monitoring - Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!) - fully-fledged REST API - a responsive, modern & fast UI - monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them - Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images - Only one…
Kurisu – Statistical dashboard in a single HTML fileJan 2026 · nocturnefoundry.gumroad.com · ▲5I 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…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons
Dev tools · May 2026 · kilo.ai
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…
