News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Not sure, maybe check on reddit in one of the real estate subs.
No, I had a couple of agents give it a spin. I am letting them use it for free in exchange for feedback.
I just built this yesterday, so 0. Want to be my first?
Ok, gotcha. I think this is doable. Show the excerpt from the original document so the user has confidence the data is correct.

Thank you for the feedback.

My apologies, yes this is for the American market.
Yes, I think it varies by state.
Hello HN, I’m a solo developer building tools for real estate workflows. I built OfferGridAI after watching listing agents repeatedly struggle with the same problem during hot markets.

When a property gets multiple offers, each offer usually comes in as a 10–20 page PDF. Under tight time pressure, agents have to manually dig through each document and rebuild a spreadsheet to compare things like price, net to seller, contingencies, financing, closing timeline, escalation clauses, etc. It’s not conceptually hard, but it’s stressful, time-consuming, and easy to miss details buried deep in the PDFs.

I wanted a way to make that moment less chaotic.

The idea: Upload multiple offer PDFs → extract the key terms → generate a clean, side-by-side comparison grid that’s easy to walk through with a seller.

Instead of just dumping text, the tool normalizes the information into comparable fields (price vs net, contingencies, financing strength, days to close) and adds a short summary highlighting tradeoffs (e.g. highest price vs highest certainty to close).

What it focuses on:

Structured extraction of common purchase-agreement terms

Normalizing offers so sellers can compare apples to apples

Surfacing risk factors (financing type, contingencies, timeline)

Producing a seller-ready grid rather than raw AI output

What it intentionally does not do:

Make decisions for agents or sellers

Replace professional judgment

Integrate with MLS or transaction management systems (at least for now)

The goal is to be a fast decision-support tool for a very specific, high-pressure moment.

I’m early and still refining the scope, especially around:

Which fields matter most in practice

How to communicate “risk” without over-claiming

How tolerant users are of “best effort” extraction vs perfection

I’d love feedback from anyone who’s worked with complex PDFs, document comparison, or decision-support tools under time pressure, or from anyone who’s built vertical SaaS in heavily regulated industries.

Happy to answer questions and learn from the community.

I respectfully disagree. Your LinkedIn job history should match what your resume says (generally speaking).

This is a recruiter-facing tool that compares a candidate’s resume with their LinkedIn profile PDF (uploaded by the recruiter) and flags mismatches in job titles, dates, roles, skills, and timelines.

I would love some feedback.

I don't think you can find older kids channels in YouTube kids.

YouTube kids does not have Minecraft building channels, at least not ones that my kids watch. That's why I created this.
Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @12:15PM (#43623425)
the idea is that you trust the channel that you add. so assuming every video on that channel is safe....
Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @12:12PM (#43623390)
YouTube kids doesn't have the channels they watch. AFAIK the creator has to designate their videos as kid friendly. Not all creators do that.
Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @11:52AM (#43623191)
Not all channels my kids watch are on YouTube kids.

They watch Minecraft building channels.

I also grew up on Beechwood. Small world :)
Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Monday April 07, 2025 @02:54PM (#43614674)
I added the ability to exclude shorts. Is it wrong to assume if the channel is ok, that all videos within the channel are ok?
Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Monday April 07, 2025 @02:20PM (#43614356)
That is correct. I can add some detailed FAQ.

Thank you for the feedback.

Re:Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids on Monday April 07, 2025 @01:50PM (#43614063)
This is not a fancy web app. I simply made it because I'm a single parent and while I'm trying to make dinner my 9 year old is down some YouTube rabbit hole. I figured I would share because I can't be the only parent that has this issue.

So I made a web app where I could add channels that I approve. There is no algo recommendations in the side bar, just the video.

Please share feedback if you have any.

Didn't humans make AI?
Re:Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace on Saturday January 07, 2023 @04:08PM (#34292827)
I'd be curious to know which ones you "recognize"...I'm familiar with how my logos are produced, you aren't. Again with the assumptions.
Re:Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace on Saturday January 07, 2023 @02:37PM (#34291778)
Yep, especially with all the orange in my logo you have linked.
Re:Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace on Saturday January 07, 2023 @02:35PM (#34291741)
You sure are making a lot of assumptions about my process.
Re:Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace on Saturday January 07, 2023 @02:29PM (#34291680)
Thank you, not sure how I'm going to approach market yet.
Re:Show HN: I Made a Logo Marketplace on Saturday January 07, 2023 @02:27PM (#34291657)
I love it, thanks. :)
