[Shameless plug] The problem with current llm based website builders is that they all end up looking the same, almost have the same flow and structure.

We have been working on a website builder https://dollarpage.club

We have worked really hard to let users create beautifully designed bespoke websites

Re:Show HN: Museum of Numbers on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @11:50AM (#49895421)
Thanks!. Let me work on this one
Re:Show HN: Museum of Numbers on Saturday September 26, 2026 @01:37PM (#49858762)
Hey HN

I built NumberMuseum because I love those moments when you discover that a completely ordinary looking number has an extraordinary story behind it.

I really liked the story of 1729, the famous Hardy Ramanujan number. Hardy visited Ramanujan in hospital and mentioned that his taxi number, 1729, seemed rather dull. Ramanujan immediately replied that it was actually very interesting: it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways.

I realized there are thousands of stories like this hiding inside numbers. So NumberMuseum is my attempt to collect them. It isn't meant to be a mathematics encyclopedia. Each number is treated more like a museum exhibit, with a story to tell. I'd especially love suggestions for numbers that deserve an exhibit. If there's a number with a great story behind it, drop it in the comments I will turn it into the next one.

> how does it work with long papers? will it ever work with small books?

yes it should work.

> i can’t upload the document

Could you please drop an email to rahul at magnetron dot ai with the document. I will set things up for you

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2025) on Sunday October 12, 2025 @05:40PM (#45562189)
Thanks for the feedback. Will work on making the narration and the animations sync better.

I am working on Magnetron (https://magnetron.ai)

It is a tool that lets you create whiteboard explainers.

You can prompt it with an idea or upload a document and it will create a video with illustrations and voiceover. All the design and animations are done by using AI apis, you dont need any design skills.

Here is a video explainer of the popular "Attention is all you need" paper.

Would love to hear some feedback

Thanks for the feedback. Working on the making the video and narration sync better.

> Where can I follow the progress or get notified ?

I send out product updates once a week or so. Will keep you posted.

Shameless plug: I have been working on a tool that lets you create whiteboard explainers.

It also works with research papers.

Magnetron.ai – Instantly Create Lead Magnets

I have been working on this tool to create lead magnets. Magnetron researches the web for your topic and creates a well crafted ebook as your lead magnet.

Text files are amazing, and for when you need to structure data you can use sqlite.

I am using it for https://loadjitsu.io/ Still looking for a good solution to seamlessly sync local sqlite to cloud for backup when the user wants

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)? on Sunday August 25, 2024 @02:30AM (#41344927)
I am working on Loadjitsu (https://loadjitsu.io) It is a modern alternative to JMeter.

Have spent the last few months working on the current release.

It uses rust and Tauri under the hood.

I am working on app that I wrote initialy in electron, but now have moved away from it.I have perspectives on both good and bad sides of electron

The good parts

Low barrier to entry - if you know javascript you are good to good. No need to learn C++ or Java for building a desktop app.

Truly cross platform - any platforms that chromium supports, electron supports

A very active ecosystem - The community around electron is amazing. I am a big fan of electron.build, things like code signing / auto updates etc are provided out of the box

The not so good parts

IPC hell

Electron has a main process and renderer process and they communicate via events. I found myself swimming in the event soup very often.

Easy to make mistakes

This is more for a note for me or any beginner, but it is easy to write compute heavy code in the renderer and make the ui unresponsive or sluggish. There are many other things like this where it is easy to do things the wrong way.

Security

Electron still has a capable browser which can open any webpage. Mix that with native access and you have a remote code execution vulnerability on your hands.

Bloated binaries

Even the simplest of the electron binaries are large, thats just the nature of electron.

Shameless plug

The app that I am working on is https://loadjitsu.com, I rewrote it using golang, couldnt be happier.

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more? on Thursday March 24, 2022 @01:49PM (#30793219)
The most important reason i think is that the web has progressively become good enough for majority of the usecases. However there are still a few areas where good desktop apps are needed.

Shameless plug

I am working on loadjitsu, a desktop app for load testing. https://loadjitsu.com

Hey thanks for reporting this. It is a single go binary Please do the following after you have downloaded 1. chmod +x loadjitsu-mac-.0.0.2 2. ./loadjitsu-mac-0.0.2 server This should start the load testing server
Hey it is single binary You should be able to run it with `./loadjitsu-mac-0.02` might have to do a chmod +x
Tried to fix this. Can you please try again. Thanks for reporting this.
I am working on a scripting framework for Loadjitsu. You should be able to run custom tests with domain specific inputs
I agree JMeter is a great tool, it has tons of features. Will be gradualy adding more to Loadjitsu, one day I hope it can compete with JMeter
I am working on a scripting interface for Loadjitsu as well. You will be able to run tests using a small DSL very soon.

Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter

https://loadjitsu.com

Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making.Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored.This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that...
