Re:Show HN: I made an open-source Cursor Light theme on Monday June 02, 2025 @10:07PM (#44165550)
Hey HN, the maker here.

I love Cursor Dark but couldn't find a good light theme that matches the style. So I took an attempt to make something I wanna use myself.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Second this.

The price to value that you get is unbelievable!

The founder is super helpful and has a vibrant community on Discord.

I can't recommend more.

Re:Ask HN: How is your startup doing? on Tuesday October 24, 2023 @05:02AM (#37996489)
I'm a solo founder bootstrapping https://www.browserhub.io/

It's definitely not easy to grow these days. But I'm still grateful that at least the needle is moving.

So far I only launched on Twitter (not a bunch of audience). And I hope I can launch on more sites like Product Hunt next month.

And yeah, I'm worried about the future. But the best thing I can do is to be present. I'll do what I can to grow the business.

Wish me luck :)

Re:Ask HN: Heroku Alternative for 2023? on Monday October 23, 2023 @06:26AM (#37983734)
We have some great alternatives these days.

- render.com (I’m using it)

- fly.io

- railway.app

- DigitalOcean App Platform

- Vercel

So far that’s all that came to mind.

Re:Can we automate browsing actions more easily? on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @08:44AM (#36785399)
Hi hackers,

Over the past month I’ve been working on a tool called Browserhub, and it’s a way to automate browsing actions without coding. You can use it to perform end-to-end testing, web scraping, and much more.

And as we may know, there are many edge cases and technical hurdles to automate browsing actions. Solving captcha, rotating proxies, you name it.

That's why I'm reaching out to you. I’m eager to hear about your most painful process of coding your own browser automation solutions. If you have a magic wand, what would you change from the process?

Appreciate any kind of feedback here :)

Yes.

I’m building https://getmumu.com and the revenue is still growing strong over time.

And it’s been fun to make something that earns money yet people love the product.

Hey! The support starts from Catalina (macOS 10.15) to the latest Big Sur. And works for Intel or M1 processor.
> With that in perspective, the figure of 5k / 10k synonyms mentioned on your website doesn't seem that 'groundbreaking'.

I only generated it once in a go. The number will grow as the time goes by. Imagine the multiplier then.

> Just wanted to understand what value GPT3 brought to your product.

Thanks for your intent, appreciate it :) So I used GPT-3 to train all emojis, not only the new ones. That means a particular emoji will get more and more synonyms as I hire GPT-3 over and over again.

Hi! The founder here.

I use GPT-3 to generate synonyms for all of the emojis.

And yes, it’s simple to have a list of synonyms. But is it easy? Calculate the time anyone takes to write synonyms for a particular emoji, and multiply it by the number of emojis (thousands). Not to mention the energy that people spend for it.

For the 2nd question – it’s a limited price deal, and it’ll go up in a few hours.

Hi HN! The maker here.

It’s my attempt to code natively on Swift without Storyboard, SwiftUI, or anything else.

Looking forward to hear your feedback about it. I’m all ears.

Hi HN!

The maker of Mumu here.

I made Mumu because I couldn't count how much time I was frustrated by an emoji picker. Picking the right emoji has been immersed in my daily workflow for a long time. So I know it needs a change.

It's a native app on top of Swift. Not a SwiftUI yet, but probably interested to research more about its reliability.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback about it. Cheers!
