SpecieSense

What it does

Spotted a bug, plant, or mushroom and wondered what it is? SpecieSense identifies the species from a single photo — and shows you why: the features it matched, where it's recorded worldwide, and an honest confidence level. If it's unsure, it says so. And it never claims something is safe to eat or touch — for that it points you to a local expert. Built for the curious — gardeners, hikers, parents fielding "what's this?". Free to try, and I'd love your feedback on where it gets it wrong.

Photograph a plant, insect, bird or fungus. SpecieSense identifies it and shows an honest, evidence-based verdict, including how confident it is and what it couldn't tell from your photo.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
