What it does

Mentioned lets you search books and discover places, food, wine, people, and more as mentioned by authors. Dive deeper into stories and explore what inspires each book, from iconic spots to hidden gems. Available soon on the App Store and Google Play.

Share a post from Instagram, TikTok or Reels and Mentioned pulls out every place in it — on your map, with its category, rating and address.

Share any post from social media and Mentioned pulls out every place in it, saves them to your map and keeps them there for whenever you go. There is no inbox to process and no tagging to do. The whole product happens in the five seconds after you hit share. Straight from Instagram, TikTok or Reels share sheet. No copy-paste, no login wall, no leaving the app you’re in. Mentioned analyzes the post and matches every venue in it to a real listing, with its category, rating and address. Sorted by city, category and creator before you’re back on the feed. Six months later it’s still on the map where you’ll be standing. Open the map where you happen to be standing and the spots you saved for…from mentionedapp.com

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  • I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
