Purpose Reminders
Hi HN, I built Purpose Reminders (https://purposereminders.com). Our first monthly action – "Leave a positive review for a local business" – goes out June 1st (very soon!). The core idea: What if thousands of us did the same small, positive act each month? You get one email, choose to act or skip (no pressure), and then see the collective, anonymous impact. It's 100% free, built with Next.js/Supabase/Resend. My attempt at a simple way to foster some collective goodwill. What do you think of the concept?
Purpose Reminders launched on June 1, 2025 with 8 votes, #3,354 of 7,999 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.
What it does
Every month, we send one meaningful action to everyone on Earth. You choose: do it or don't. Then see how many people joined you in making the world a little better.

I made this for people like myself who keep a list of ideas for apps / startups. I also made it for people who are curious to see what projects others have "in their drawer"... and who may want to have a say in which idea should see the light of day. https://ideas.dynamate.io/ The site allows creators to anonymously showcase their idea: Title. Description text. Maybe some mockups... I've tried to make it so that it's quick and easy to just dump an idea in there that's been sitting on some list of yours for months - and hopefully get some feedback on it. If someone else on…

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…
