What it does

Z Tales writes and illustrates a bedtime story where your child is the hero — their name, their look, their age's reading level, and a lesson you pick (kindness, courage, sleeping in their own bed). Text lands in ~30 seconds, watercolor art paints in behind it, and it can narrate itself over a lullaby. No account needed to try. Premium adds narration, interactive choose-your-path stories, music, and printable PDF keepsakes — and every story ends calm, by design, to actually help kids wind down.

Personalized bedtime stories starring your child — written and illustrated in about a minute, and every one ends calm and ready for sleep. Free to try.

A gentle, illustrated story made just for them — one that ends calm and ready for sleep. Other apps hand you a library to search. Z Tales writes tonight's story just for your child — ready in seconds. Tried it with my niece's name and the watercolor art came out prettier than I expected for something generated in 30 seconds — the calm ending actually worked. “Turns the page into something gentle and alive instead of a static PDF.” “The calm ending part, especially — that's always the hardest.” Every story ends calmly and kindly — no scary twists, no sad endings. Designed to help little ones wind down. Your child's name and details are used only to tell their story. Never sold, never shared,…from ztales.com

    Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project my co-founder and I have been working on - TaleBot. What It Does: TaleBot creates a personalized bedtime story based on parent/caregiver's inputs. You can customize the theme, the challenges (kid-friendly obstacles) the characters face, and even the moral lesson it teaches. Once the story is ready, you'll receive a PDF file, and an AI narrated voiceover of it. Try It Out: We've made it as barrier-free as possible for you to test. Use the promo code HNFREETALE on our story creation form, and you can get a story written for free, no sign-ups…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
