We're building an automated CO2 emission tracker app for households
Hi, we're Zerofy, and our goal is to build a fully automated, real-time, and holistic carbon emission tracking app for households! Our approach relies on tapping all digital data streams representing your life and calculating carbon emissions from them. In the linked post, we describe our approach, show a demo app, and are soliciting feedback! (Once we track emissions, we want to build AI tech that helps reduce. But that's for another post.)
We're building an automated CO2 emission tracker app for households launched on August 19, 2022 with 11 votes, #938 of 3,307 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Zerofy is an automated carbon emission tracking app for households that calculates environmental impact by collecting data from users' digital activity and lifestyle patterns. The app provides real-time, holistic tracking of household emissions across multiple data sources. It is designed for environmentally conscious individuals who want to understand their carbon footprint automatically without manual logging. The product currently focuses on tracking; future development is planned to include AI-powered recommendations for reducing emissions.

At Zerofy our goal is to simplify a low-carbon (and ultimately zero-carbon) lifestyle. Measuring and understanding where emissions in one’s life or household come from is the first step before identifying the big levers to take action. In this article, we describe our technical and design approach toward automated and real-time household carbon emissions tracking. We have built the first version of our app guided by the above principles. It doesn’t yet fulfill all our aspirations to match these principles, but we already track a large part of emissions fully automated. To automate carbon footprint tracking, we start with the insight that modern life is increasingly represented by a set of…from zerofy.net

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
