Hey HN,I built a free widget that adds an "Ask AI About Us" button to your website. I think it's a great idea to let AI be your advocate. When a visitor clicks the AI icon, it opens the AI platform in a new tab with a pre-filled prompt.It's not a chatbot. There's no training data to maintain or conversation flows to design. It simply connects your site to the AI platforms that people already...

RCS Composer (rcscomposer.com) is a simple tool that allows you to receive an API payload for Google’s RCS endpoints (https://developers.google.com/business-communications/rcs-bu...).It lets you build messages like rich cards and carousels and then copy the generated JSON to use in your integration.Bonus: I added a quick reference list of carriers that support RCS on Apple devices.Would love...

In fact, the fine was actually what we paid (minimum tax + missed deadline + interest).
“Normal fine”: We just didn't expect you to be able to incorporate a company and if you miss the tax payment deadline, you will receive a fine 100 times higher than the cost of incorporating the company, no matter what.
But of course, I don't recommend our way. Don't do it. It was wrong. Pay your taxes. Fill out all the required documents.
At the same time, with a C corp, only the company itself is liable for taxes and fines, not its founders. If a company does not have sufficient funds, it cannot operate, and there is a process for automatically dissolving the company (after several years, if you have no outstanding obligations to third parties, no fraud intentions, etc.). We didn't want to do this and be left with an unpaid bill in our minds.
However, we thought that starting a company would motivate us because we would be "commited" and this would demonstrate to each other that we were serious about it, given that we all had other jobs. And to this day, I still think it has some meaning.
In 2020, in the middle of COVID, a few friends and I decided that obviously the world needed another presentation tool.Our pain point was simple: we hated fighting with PowerPoint/Google Slides. We just wanted to write content and get nice slides without babysitting fonts, sizes, alignment, colors, and 19 different "Title + Subtitle" layouts that all somehow looked bad.So we built a prototype:...
Anyway, nice work! I created something similar for our product (a list of divs that switch visibility based on keyboard input).
Personally, I hate having to edit slides in Google Slides or PowerPoint because everything can be moved! After every simple text edits, I have to change the position of every text element, and so on. Awesome functionality is missing from HTML and CSS: auto-aligning.The idea of converting Markdown to slides is not new. There are lots of tools that do it well.Unfortunately, libraries like...

WTF? Privacy first?

Please don't explain technical things as if you were talking to children. Explain them as if you were talking to a colleague sitting next to you. Talk to them as a person and as a professional.
Last weekend, I wondered whether I could replace our clunky contact form with a WhatsApp chat. Forty-eight hours (and a lot of Claude Code prompts) later, OWA.link was live.
Stack (all edge-deployable): Cloudflare Workers KV for storage/DB React app link generator (most of the UI and functionality was generated by Claude Code). SimpleAnalytics was used for anonymous click stats.
Here's what you can test:
Try this link: https://owa.link/book-meeting
Click and answer to see WhatsApp open with a pre-filled message that includes your form data.
Alternatively, try this simplified version: https://openwa.link/plDumo
It's completely free if you're OK with sharing your analytics data (everyone can add "+" to the end of links to see the number of clicks, like bit.ly does).
Why share? I'm curious to know if this edge-only approach makes sense in the long term.
Is the AI actually useful? This is my first project that has been created entirely by AI (front end, back end, help guide and translations), and I think it's pretty awesome.
All feedback (technical, UX and business) is welcome! If people find it valuable, I’ll clean up the code and open-source the Worker next week so you can host it yourself.
Thanks for your attention, and happy hacking! :)
Hey HN,I was fed up with using online converters and generators. They were slow. They used server encoding. They were full of ads. Or they required cookie confirmation for simple tasks.Opening VS Code or Sublime with plugins was also slow.So, I built a simple, web-based toolkit called Stringify that I thought some of you might find useful. It started as a personal project with no aspirations to...
