SwapBite – AI-powered healthy recipe swaps for junk food lovers

Hey HN I’m a solo founder from Slovenia, working on a micro SaaS project called SwapBite. The idea is simple: You type in the junk food you're craving (like "Big Mac" or "Chips"), and AI instantly suggests a healthier alternative recipe – considering your diet, allergies, preparation time, and number of servings. I built it because I was tired of getting generic advice like “just eat a salad” when I wanted something satisfying but still healthy. As someone into nutrition and tech, I wanted to use GPT-4 to nudge people into better choices without guilt. I’m using: OpenAI API for the food…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN I’m a solo founder from Slovenia, working on a micro SaaS project called SwapBite. The idea is simple: You type in the junk food you're craving (like "Big Mac" or "Chips"), and AI instantly suggests a healthier alternative recipe – considering your diet, allergies, preparation time, and number of servings. I built it because I was tired of getting generic advice like “just eat a salad” when I wanted something satisfying but still healthy. As someone into nutrition and tech, I wanted to use GPT-4 to nudge people into better choices without guilt. I’m using: OpenAI API for the food intelligence NestJS + Prisma + Stripe for the backend Tailwind + React for the frontend Happy to share tech stack or details. It’s still early, but it works! Feedback, suggestions or roastings are all welcome. Live here: https://swapbite.com Would love to hear: Is this something you'd use personally? Any ideas for how to make it more helpful/fun? Thanks! – Gaber

    I spent 3 years building an e-commerce side project to order groceries online, which later pivoted in the last 6 months to a complete Ai nutrional assitant, that can personalize meal plans, recipes, meal suggestions, and even scrape the internet for where to purchase grocery items in your chat.

  • 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…

    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…
