Cool research! I went to the repo to see what the DSL looked like but it was hard to find a clear example. It would be cool if you added a snippet to the README.
Re:Show HN: Prune – a tiny tool to sharpen your thinking on Tuesday September 16, 2025 @09:03AM (#45261683)
Hi all, I built this as part of my fellowship research — it’s a tiny tool called Prune

The idea is simple: you start with a single sentence (a claim, assumption, or half-formed thought). Prune asks a gentle question, then offers branching rewrites. You prune, merge, or refine, and bit by bit your sentence gets sharper.

It’s closer to a journaling tool than a productivity app — but I’ve found it surprisingly good for surfacing hidden assumptions and clarifying ideas I thought were obvious.

Would love feedback on: - When it feels useful vs. when it falls flat - Features that would make it more than a toy - Whether you’d see yourself using this for work/thinking

Live demo here: https://www.prune.quest

Hey HN! I haven’t shared TeamSort here in a while, but after some great feedback from folks in the co-operative governance and computational social choice communities, I’ve added new voting algorithms and improved the experience. Here’s the latest version—now with Borda, Condorcet, and IRV, all in a frictionless, anonymous polling tool. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

I built a free, anonymous app for sorting ideas collectively. I feel like this could be useful for product teams prioritizing tickets as well as friends choosing what movie to go see. This is my second time posting in case it fell under the radar, but I won't post it again. Not spamming!I built it using https://partykit.dev/ and it runs on Cloudflare. It was actually pretty easy to throw...

Good question! It's fairly easy to implement and also it "tends to elect broadly-acceptable options or candidates (rather than consistently following the preferences of a majority)" (wikipedia) But I'd like to add other ranking methods in the future

Hi HN! Creator here. I built this because I noticed teams often need to quickly prioritize or rank items, but existing tools add too much friction to the process.This uses the Borda count algorithm to aggregate everyone's preferences into a single ranking. While simple voting works for yes/no decisions, sorting captures more nuanced preferences and helps find consensus, whether you're...

Re:SnapDiagram – Instantly Convert Hand-Drawn Diagrams to Digital with AI on Friday August 23, 2024 @03:04PM (#41332028)
No, you can’t upload an image- it’s just via prompt. SnapDiagram looks really useful!

I can't fathom how much that domain must have cost
Re:Show HN: Dizzy – Customized Shadcn UI Components on Saturday March 16, 2024 @11:17AM (#39726654)
Interesting! In the future I may try to build a framework-agnostic version. HTML-only would be pretty cool. Thanks for trying it out.

I'm starved for some feedback over here. Would you use this?

Show HN: AI Chat Duo – A sandbox for AI conversations

Hey HackerNews, I built AI Chat Duo - a sandbox for AI conversations. It lets users sculpt two AI's personalities and govern a chat between them. I've used it for everything from debate stimulation to scenario planning, and it's been a wild journey of discovery. I'm keen for feedback on interface and user experience, so give it a go and let me know your thoughts!

Re:Wise is deactivating Business cards in the US on Oct. 31st on Friday October 27, 2023 @11:56PM (#38046994)
I had the worst experience with Wise and their support this past week. So bad it almost sent me to Twitter to rant. It used to be an amazing service but something has changed and I’m swearing off it too.
Re:Ask HN: Do you use diagrams while developing software? on Friday August 18, 2023 @06:17AM (#37173621)
I’m the creator of flowchart.fun which is a quick text-to-diagram tool. If I’m being honest I didn’t use it much when developing stuff at first but of late I find it’s really nice if I have a mental dependency graph that I just want to visualize to help prioritize tasks and think about blockers. Mermaid.live is awesome for this. Anything you can drop into quickly imo
Re:Styling Flowcharts Using CSS on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @11:44AM (#36774336)
Thank you! Much needed feedback. Going to fix that today.
Re:Styling Flowcharts Using CSS on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @11:37AM (#36774218)
I want to make architecture diagrams more natural in the future. This is far from perfect but here's my quick attempt at producing something like this in Flowchart Fun - https://flowchart.fun/n#EoUwhgxgLgBA3gKBjYB7ArlEAnJMDCqAtgA6...
Re:Styling Flowcharts Using CSS on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @11:03AM (#36773599)
Thank you so much! I'm reworking app flows this week and I was hesitating about removing this demo. I'm taking this comment as a sign that it's got to stay.
Re:Migrating from Supabase on Friday May 19, 2023 @04:16PM (#36006356)
Supabase is also great for auth. Did you reimplement auth yourself or switch to another auth service or framework?
Re:Ask HN: AI to study my DSL and then output it? on Wednesday April 19, 2023 @05:21PM (#35633476)
On https://flowchart.fun I found that I got better overall results by asking GPT for an intermediate syntax that it was less likely to mess up (and easier for me to parse), and then parsing and transforming that syntax to my DSL. The relevant code: https://github.com/tone-row/flowchart-fun/blob/main/api/prom...
Re: on Thursday March 23, 2023 @09:43AM (#35274671)
Links in flowcharts is a really useful feature that people have been asking for for a while. Try it out and let me know what you think!
