I built a tool that lets you ask questions about pro League of Legends data (players, teams, champions, splits) and get answers from a dataset I curated in plain English.The dataset itself is from riot + Oracle's elixir.Just click on select data source and it's the one called "Lol Esports" (playin with some other datasets also).It’s early and probably a bit buggy. I’d appreciate feedback on the...
Out of curiosity how do you deal with moving files in the file system?
Hey guys, I want to build a dashboard to track some key metrics for my SaaS side project. I am thinking about tracking revenue, usage, and # of people on a waitlist + a couple of extra random things. I am thinking about building this admin dashboard myself but curious to know if someone has any other suggestions.My question for HN -> what do you use to build your dashboard? Also curious to...
At my new company we're looking to adopt an internal wiki/intranet and I was wondering what do you guys use where you work?I know that big companies like Facebook have built their own solutions but curious to see what other companies use. For example, I recently came across Stripe's Home (https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-home), which seems to be their own internal version of a...
5. There are no good tools for building my church’s community online
"This might sound a little weird but I am part of a congregation (church) and I wish that we could have a way to build our community online. I imagine something that combines Slack, Facebook Live, Shopify and Patreon.” All of these things can be done independently today but a software that bundles everything together would remove a ton of friction.
6. There is a need for tools (e.g. CRMs) for creators that will make use of Instagram’s new Checkout feature.
"This week Instagram launched checkout. There’s a massive opportunity to help a new generation of creators and creatives more easily become entrepreneurs." These sellers will be phone-only, and there are no good CRMs and adjacent tools to help these creators manage their business.
7. In the US It's extremely hard to compare prices across hospitals
"Hospitals in the USA are now required to publish online price lists of the services they provide. I hope someone is working to aggregate and make these easily searchable/comparable."
8. I wish there was something like MoviePass but for museums and other attractions
“It sucks that I have to pay $25 to go to SFMoMa. As a college student I got free access to all of these museums in New York. I wish there was something like MoviePass but for museums and stuff like that.”
9. A good karaoke app out there (for individuals or bars) is something that doesn't exist
“For a while now I've been trying to find a good Karaoke app that works with Spotify or Apple Music but there's nothing out there. Smule and Musixmatch are ok for lyrics but this isn't actually Karaoke. The same thing applies for Karaoke bars. They either use YouTube or some crappy software. One app that creates a great user experience for individuals and clubs/djs/bars etc. could be a game changer.”
Hi everyone. I have been aggregating a weekly list(http://houston.substack.com) of interesting problems that people have shared that if solved might turn into great businesses. A couple of interesting things have repeatedly come up and I thought HN might find them interesting. Here's what seem to have resonated the most with people:1. I wish the startup I work at allowed me to choose my own...
