What it does

We built Taiyaki because your most meaningful moments deserve more than a flat print or generic trinket. Built by ex-Apple, ex-Stanford engineers and designers. From camera roll to gold. Yours, by design.

  Taiyaki – AI-generated 3D jewelry from photos and sketches2025 · taiyaki.ai · ▲11

  Hey HN! I’m Elena, one of the co-founders of Taiyaki. My co-founder and I are both ex-Stanford mechanical engineers who worked on consumer electronics (iPads) and materials at Apple. We built Taiyaki because most “custom” product platforms stall at 2D (like Etsy) or require complex CAD software. So we created a new pipeline: upload a photo, sketch, or idea, and we turn it into a 3D jewelry design in seconds, then make it in sterling silver, gold vermeil, or 14k gold. We design with manufacturing in mind: things like minimum wall thickness, castability, and engraving depth are all baked into…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  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!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  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…
