Show HN: Agent Arnold – Gym tracker 100% vibe-coded from my phone between sets

https://agent-arnold.app/

Agent Arnold is a gym tracker with a built-in AI coach. Here's how I use it:- "this exercise hurts my shoulder at the end of the movement, remind me proper form and cues"- "how should I modify my workout today based off last week's reps and weights"- `/generate` a bouldering-focused workout routineThe app is free, your data is fully exportable (no walled-gardens), and there's an anonymous...

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) on Monday December 15, 2025 @05:33PM (#46281759)
Purposefully not building software but cold calling 100 businesses in my niche. Starting at 1 call per day for 10 days, then 2 calls per day for 10 days, then 2 conversations per day for 10 days, and scaling up until I reach 100 calls. Exposure therapy as well as product discovery wrapped in one.

YASRFM - yet another scroll reverser for Mac

https://github.com/Caldis/Mos

There's already billions of businesses for referral and affiliate marketing with Stripe: Rewardful, PromoteKit, Branch.io, Viral Loops, +∞ more...

I don't see any specifically targeted towards iOS app developers. At a very high level you would need to integrate a few APIs: - App Store Connect API to generate referral codes on demand - App Store Server API to verify receipts

Is this a niche hole in the market? I'm assuming companies like Dropbox and Uber do it in-house, but is there no solution or demand for "In-App Purchase Referrals" specifically?

Thanks in advance

Show HN: Edit and export subtitles for your social media, fast

https://getsubtitles.app/

Hello again HN,My YouTuber friend told me that editing subtitles in Premiere, Final Cut, etc. is a huge pain. So I built them a website that lets you split subtitles with a single click (https://getsubtitles.app/).I want to make the best *subtitle editing* software. Once you're done editing, you export the standard SRT file and bring it into your video editor of choice. Yes, video editors now...

Re:Feedback for Idea to App: launch to the AppStore fast on Sunday April 28, 2024 @06:50PM (#40192708)
Hi HN,

I have a lot of experience in iOS app development and over the years of working on countless projects and at several different companies (obligatory ex-Googler, Gmail iOS mention), I have developed templates, frameworks, extensions, etc... all which make business development on the iOS platform as fast as possible. It's what I use to spin up idea fast.

That being said, I've started getting everything production-ready and I wanted to ask you for feedback on my landing page: https://ideatoapp.xyz

I know most of you are extremely tech savvy, so you might not be my target audience, but still I would appreciate your feedback on this idea. Thanks.

Nice, you're absolutely right
Re:Share Google Maps with your friends better on Saturday April 27, 2024 @11:03PM (#40185666)
Hi HN,

My wife and I are always sharing our Google Maps lists with our friends who are visiting or traveling to countries where we have been to. Whenever anyone asks for recommendations we spend so much time curating our recommendations to what we know their preferences are.

So I figured why not make it ultra simple to search, filter, and sort our already comprehensive list of restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks for pointing that out, will post in the appropriate thread in the future

Show HN: Create private emails like you create passwords

https://hidemail.cc

Hi HN,Personally, I find it infuriatingly annoying how many emails I get. Especially as an early adopter, I like to try out new products but I hate getting marketing emails for life.Even worse, we've gotten to the point where even unsubscribing isn't enough. Companies are required by law to send you policy updates (Privacy, GDPR, etc...). It's genuinely ridiculous.There's different classes of...

Hey thanks! I'm happy to answer technical questions, I'm on Telegram at the same username I use here (without the 4).
yt-dlp is great, fortunately for us not everyone is a software engineer
The TLDR is: an AI subtitle editor for videos.

The longer story is:

I started working on an AI-empowered subtitle editor in 2020 before the GPT boom. The idea was great but unfortunately my work-status didn't allow me to launch. So I waited until everything was proper, and then launched Double Subtitles late 2023.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my first customers.

A few differentiators with Double Subtitles are:

1. The speech-to-text response time is industry leading 2. It supports up to 1 hour long videos while most competitors support 5-10 minutes max

isn't that what marketing is? inflating your product with words
Thanks for the heads up

Show HN: A no-watermark video downloader for Any social media

https://www.fastdownload.io/

Hi HN reader,I'm a solo-founder navigating product market fit. I've spent 3 years building Double Subtitles which I am very proud of, but I don't know how to do marketing and my growth is somewhat stagnant. Through learning about SEO, I discovered this opportunity that I want to share:There are a lot of websites that let you download social media videos, which have extremely high traffic. But...
