This was a swift app. I wanted a bit more native feel and didn't go for react native.

Yeah , that's fair. More than promotion i was trying to suggest i had also built something similar and kind of understand the product space. It's this dev thing, can't shake it off i guess. But i get what you meant.
Apart from that i have a theory that there is a lot of ML based ranking and classification that is happening at the backend.

I posted this
``` Hi ,Congrats on the launch. I built a free iOS app also which has chess puzzles.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/knighty-chess-puzzles/id674524...
Would appreciate feedback. ```
Not sure if that's why it was moved to `stub for off topicness`. I wonder if it is some kind of categorisation logic based on text.

Thanks. Currently i am using the HN api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) . It's a read only API and doesn't support writes. I heard that might be away to do this with a webview initially, haven't explored that yet.
Show HN: HN client app that remembers reading history
hey HN,I am re launching an HN client app that i built this year. It got very little traction when i launched earlier. Following YC advice to do multiple launches, I am going to give it another shot.It’s fairly basic, but here are some of the features that I hope you would like.- Minimal, distraction-free UI- keyword based search functionality to see past stories.- Dark mode support- Breeze...

Isn’t it advice from YC itself to launch multiple times :)

You can checkout h for hacker news. It has a search API over algolia.

Congrats on the launch.
I built a similar app with search functionality and bookmarking some time back

This was primarily built as a way to learn building apps. I went for a style similar to the website and tapping the comment closes the parent comment.
Show HN: I built an app that scans 2D chessboard to get Stockfish chess analysis

Hey HN!I've been fascinated by chess for years , and always wanted to build a commercial app related to chess. So here is my humble attempt at that.The app scans 2D chessboards using your camera, then runs Stockfish analysis on the position.Here's how it works technically:- We do segmentation first to crop the chessboard from the full image.- Then we perform object detection to identify...
Re:Show HN: Chat with 19 Years of HN
on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @02:58AM (#44038578)
I asked what's the best time to make a show HN post and got the below output.
When should you hit “Submit” on your Show HN? TL;DR The historical data say your odds of going viral improve when you post:
Saturday 18 UTC (≈ 2 PM US-Eastern, 11 AM US-Pacific)
Early Sunday 02 – 04 UTC (Saturday evening in the Americas)
Week-day late morning UTC, especially
Tuesday 11 – 15 UTC (7 – 11 AM US-Eastern)
Wednesday 15 UTC
Friday 12 – 14 UTC
These slots combine the highest average scores with a healthy number of past posts, meaning success isn’t due to just a few outliers.

Ask HN: How do we improve the discovery of apps in appstore?
I built Libris.fm[1] , it's a free iOS app written in swift which gives access to users for 10000+ free audiobooks.The app is objectively better than many popular apps in this segment which have a paywall and tons of ads. However i hardly get any downloads since the launch.I have tried posting in r/audiobooks[2] and got some decent feedback. But I don't have any other clue on how to get more...

on Sunday April 27, 2025 @11:25AM (#43812573)
Yeah, the app is highly misleading and many people think they are official. I echo your sentiment on ads, that was one of the reason that pushed me to build this app as well.

I am trying to learn building apps. I came across the public API of HN and tried to build an app around it. Let me know what you folks think.

Really liked the fact that the team shared all the shortcomings of the model in the post. Sometimes products just highlights the best results and isn't forthcoming in areas that need improvement. Kudos to the OpenAI team on that.

While Freestyle is being suggested as a superior format, there appears to be some issues with it such as few starting positions which gives significantly more advantage to white than black. Figured this out by running the starting position against the `stockfish` engine.

Is this some form of similarity matching on the plot synopsis? Could you describe what's under the hood?
