Legal Eyes – Turn casual text into legalese with one click

Hey HN, I built a Chrome extension called *Legal Eyes* that rewrites your casual messages into sharp, professional legal language. Use cases: - Freelancers chasing late invoices - Founders dealing with vague contract terms - Anyone trying to sound more serious or formal (without being a lawyer) No prompt engineering, no copy-pasting — it sits in your browser, and converts selected text with a click. I built it using React, Supabase (for auth and usage tracking), OpenAI (for the rewriting), and deployed via Vercel. I launched this to help the little guys when they need a stronger voice. I…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, I built a Chrome extension called *Legal Eyes* that rewrites your casual messages into sharp, professional legal language. Use cases: - Freelancers chasing late invoices - Founders dealing with vague contract terms - Anyone trying to sound more serious or formal (without being a lawyer) No prompt engineering, no copy-pasting — it sits in your browser, and converts selected text with a click. I built it using React, Supabase (for auth and usage tracking), OpenAI (for the rewriting), and deployed via Vercel. I launched this to help the little guys when they need a stronger voice. I hope this goes out into the world and helps someone :) Would love your feedback on: - Features you'd expect in v2 - Thoughts on monetizing vs keeping it free - Weird or niche use cases I haven’t thought of You can try it here (free version available): [https://legaleyes.uk](https://legaleyes.uk) Thanks! Happy to answer anything.

    Using AI to Summarize Terms and Conditions2018 · ▲91

    88% of people never read the terms and conditions of websites or services they use. However, most people want to know what they are agreeing to in those terms. That is why we created Legal Leaf. We strongly believe that everyone should have easy access to those agreements, in language they can understand. Legal Leaf works behind the scenes, in your browser, to read and summarize these terms using powerful AI. We're constantly working to improve the accuracy of these summaries. The results are displayed in the top right corner without affecting web speeds. Legal Leaf is a beta product still…

    Magistrate – Plaintext legal contracts for developers2022 · magistrate.khanna.law · ▲279

    I made this because I think that if contracts were written in plain text files and managed more like software, from version control to IDEs, lawyers would work more quickly and intelligently for their clients, saving them money. But the entire practice of transactional law is stuck on Microsoft Word. My clients are mostly technology companies with an appetite for innovation. With their encouragement, I am moving my own legal practice away from formats like Microsoft Word and into plain text. Electronic signatures of plain text contracts is the starting point for that effort. The MVP is this…

    I wrote an open-source browser alternative for Computer Use for any LLM2024 · github.com · ▲180

    Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
