ShouldBuild
Find out what your market wants before you waste months
What it does
You can build for months before finding out nobody wanted it. ShouldBuild reads what real users already complain about — across the app stores, Reddit, Hacker News and the open web — and hands you a build / don't-build verdict backed by quotes you can click. Keep the findings worth keeping, turn them into a concept and a backlog, and every Monday see what moved: new rivals, new complaints, and whether what you shipped made its complaint go down. 7-day free trial, no card needed.
Find out whether your idea is worth building. ShouldBuild reads what real users already complain about, maps your competitors and turns it into a market report and a roadmap.
Building the wrong thing costs you months; finding out costs minutes. Describe your idea and ShouldBuild reads what your market already wrote — reviews, threads, complaints — and comes back with a verdict: build it or don't, with the quotes to prove it. No surveys. No cold DMs. No three months of building to find out. This isn't a screenshot. It's the real product with a real report — click anything. “ Easy to log exercises, the new interface is easier to see/read/edit rest periods. ” Describe it in a couple of sentences. We'll find your competitors, read what their users say, and tell you if it's worth building. A mobile app to log strength workouts at the gym. It records your sets,…from shouldbuild.io

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
