Hi HN,I kept missing warranty deadlines because receipts were scattered. Some on paper, some in email, some as random photos. When something broke, I either couldn’t find the receipt or realized the warranty expired last month.I built Receiptly Pro to fix that. You snap or upload a receipt, keep it stored in one place, and actually have it when a warranty or return matters. The goal isn’t...

I built a small Chrome extension after realizing how often surprises get ruined by autocomplete and browsing history on shared devices.Surprise Guardian auto-cleans specific browsing traces so things like gift research, trip planning, or random curiosity don’t suddenly show up when your partner borrows your laptop.No tracking. No accounts. Everything runs locally. It’s intentionally simple.This...

We built this tool after years of frustration working on massive, undocumented COBOL systems. The core problem is that simple maintenance tasks turn into high-risk, multi-day exercises because there is no clear, automated way to map program dependencies or control flow.The Challenges We Solve:Dependency Sprawl: A single program change often ripples through dozens of Copybooks, which themselves...

I’ve been stuck maintaining a legacy project that relies on massive .accdb files. I wasted two days trying to get the 64-bit ACE.OLEDB drivers to play nice with my Python environment without breaking other dependencies.Access also kept segfaulting when I tried to export tables over 1GB to CSV, so I wrote a dedicated tool to handle the extraction.The Tool:Standalone: Doesn't require a local...

Lovable is amazing—you chat with the AI, it builds your app, and you’re live fast.The problem: Google can’t see your content because Lovable apps are single-page apps.Your AI-built site looks great but never ranks.I built a Chrome extension to fix that. It prerenders your Lovable app into static HTML and deploys it straight to your Vercel account. SPA behavior stays intact.You click build, and...

Nothing fancy, just a small side project I hacked together when I needed a break from “serious” work. No ads, no monetization, just clicking, upgrading, and watching numbers climb.

I built AskDesk because I wanted a simple way to talk to my computer without all the setup. It’s kind of like Raycast for Windows — you can type or speak commands like “clear temp files,” “open Spotify,” or “remind me to call my wife in 10 minutes.”It also supports custom shortcuts, clipboard actions, and AI-powered commands. The AI part helps with things like searching, summarizing, or running...

Hey HN,I’ve been using Claude Code for a while and noticed something odd: even simple tasks burned way more tokens than expected. The model is great, but the token usage isn’t optimized — and since they sell API calls, that’s probably not their top priority.So I built Nexus, an open-source agentic code assistant you can run right in your terminal. It’s lean, local-first, and 3× cheaper to run...

A client once sent me a React project where a single component was 1,800 lines long. It came out of an LLM code generator, and it was basically unmaintainable.That pain led me to build React Code Splitter an open-source CLI that takes those monster files and helps you break them down into smaller, meaningful components. It uses ASTs under the hood, detects props automatically, and has an...
Hey HN!If you’ve ever started a new Lovable project—just a React SPA under the hood—and later realized you need SSR, SEO, or file-based routing, you know the pain of manually reshaping every route and import.I felt that pain too, so I put together a tiny CLI that:Takes your existing Lovable SPA code (components, hooks, routes) as-isAutogenerates Next.js pages from your React Router or Vite...
GitMatcher is primarily aimed at the sourcing stage, where recruiters can find devs based on their actual code contributions. But I agree, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution — it's not meant to replace LinkedIn or fully capture your career.
It’s not meant to be the only tool in the hiring process, but rather to help make the first step more data-driven.
I appreciate your thoughts — it helps make GitMatcher better.
Hey HNAfter years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern:Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built.So I built GitMatcher.It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on:Their public reposCommit historyOriginality and usefulness of codePatterns that show...
It's totally fine to ship fast, but you gotta ship smart too.
Just because something's an MVP doesn't mean you can skip security entirely.
Nothing against Marc Lou and levelsio this is more about the general approach some people are taking.

I believe a good developer chooses technologies based on use case and requirements, not emotions.
All technologies can coexist effectively.
Personally, I use PHP, Node.js, and other like Python for different scenarios, selecting the best fit for each project's needs.
PHP was always the most in-demand tech for backend development, and of course, this includes frameworks like Laravel and Symfony.
So yes, PHP is thriving.
It doesn’t mean that other languages are bad or something that’s ridiculous.
this is just to answer the "PHP is dead" folks
Every language has its place, and they all have their strengths in different contexts.
