  Bible Note Journal – AI transcription and study tools for sermons (iOS)Dec 2025 · biblenotejournal.com · ▲6

  I got back into church a couple years ago and would try taking notes with Apple Notes. It was a struggle trying to type notes while focusing on the sermon. Honestly, it would have been easier to write it in a notebook but in the end I built this iOS app to solve that problem. You can record audio during a sermon (or upload files), and it transcribes using Whisper, then generates summaries, flashcards, and reflection questions tailored to Christian content. The backend is Spring Boot + Kotlin calling OpenAI's API. Instead of deploying the backend through one of the cloud providers directly I…

  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…
