Mintly 1.0

Hi We built [Mintly](https://usemintly.com) to make ad creation stupid simple. You pick an ad layout from brands like Gymshark or rhode, upload your product image, and it recreates the ad with your colors, logo, and product — no design skills needed. I kinda got annoyed with how complicated or sucky some of these tools were + I live by two philosophies: keep it simple and steal what works. So we automated the entire process. Mintly now gets used by 500+ brands, and it takes ~60 seconds to go from product image → finished ad. Would love to hear your feedback, questions, or…

    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…
