Urpal – An AI-powered productivity canvas for file notes and tasks

Hi HN, Built URPAL – an AI assistant that converts emails and call recordings into professional file notes for legal/consulting work. *Tech:* React + Node.js + PostgreSQL + OpenAI GPT-4o + Stripe *Key innovation:* Smart detection of communication direction (did you send/receive the email? make/receive the call?) using pattern matching, not just AI guessing. *Live at:* https://urpal.com.au (14-day free trial, then AUD $15/month) The trickiest part was building bulletproof logic for email/call direction detection – turns out simple rules work better than…

    I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together. I hope others build on it/it inspires them to play with hardware. I worked on it with two other people and I had a lot of fun with some of the ideas that came out of it. * Extendable/hackable - I tried to keep the code as simple as possible so others can fork/modify easily. * Communicate with light. With function calling it changes the light bulb, so it can match your mood or feelings. * Populate info from clients you control. I wanted…

    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…
