Spectre
Hi HN! I'm Seth from Spectre, the world's first Cursor for Google Docs. Everyone's building a Cursor for writing, but no one is integrating into existing platforms that have billions of monthly active users such as Google Docs and Microsoft Word. We currently have two features - an autocomplete that's similar to Cursor's 'tab' system and a diff editor activated with Ctrl + Shift + K over a selected piece of text. You can check out a demo on our website and download the extension from there. Not many people are building this deeply in extensions from what we have seen so we are super stoked…
Spectre launched on June 24, 2025 with 15 votes, #1,055 of 7,999 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year 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…
