Technically Voiceio also does TTS, but it's really crappy and just meant to read stuff loud / select a lot of text and listen to it podcast style whilst I'm e.g. washing the dishes…

Super cool!! I've been using my own solution since January. I'm on Linux, and can't use Aqua, Whipsrflow etc... So i made my own. Recently cleaned it up and made it install friendl…

Really neat. Immediately added to my own small blog: https://hugo0.com/wander

Shameless self-promo: We've been working for the last two years on making money movement free. We use ethereum (and stablecoins) for that, and integrate with the novel real time pa…

I found this gem. Hadn't seen it on HN yet, so I thought I'd post it! I've always found Japanese design fascinating

Hey folks! I wrote this piece. It's about ERC-20, an ethereum payments standard that has bothered me for years. I work in payments, and it's made my life so much harder. I think th…

perfect, thanks

I'm trying to change my internet usage habits to be more on a weekly cadence, rather than daily. I dislike my current default state, where my usage of HN, Reddit and other internet…

Surely the extrapolation is wrong? at 4 heads, just randomly select a jury of 3. and you're back on track. at a million heads, just sum up all their guesses, divide by one million,…

ah, it seems i completely misunderstood your question. I think there's two angles here: personal accounting for the user, and compliance for us as a company. From a user perspectiv…

hmmm that's a very fair point on the FAQ! Will add it

Also, to expand on this a bit more: Currently merchants get kind of shafted by VISA/Mastercard. Not only do they have to wait until they get their funds (sometimes even up to two w…

No, the landing page communicates customer fees (which are 0 for peanut to peanut flows and pass through for banking flows). We're very transparent with any FX or fees users experi…

Unfortunately Firefox rarely has passkey support; so our whole auth system sadly doesn't work on that browser. In the future we'll add multiple auth methods. But for now you can sw…

That's an excellent question and has a lot of nuance to it. In principle there's ~200 countries in the world, and most of them have their own currency, which leads do 200^200 = 40_…

Thanks! Do you like the flashy design, or the actual UX of the app? US and EU banking rails are both fully supported!

We're literally adding it this week! Give me your email or some place to reach you, i'll notify you You can also try the dev build at https://staging.peanut.me but it's quite unsta…

neat technical sidenote: to stay non-custodial, the "key" parameter in these links is after a # hash. This ensures servers don't actually see this link-secret and steal the funds!

Just to show how easy it is to send/receive money with Peanut, here's a few links with $2 each. (they are only claimable once, so please be courteous and don't claim all, leave som…

Hi HN! I’ve been frustrated with traditional payments for a while. Paypal has frozen my funds on two occasions; and in one of them the funds were never recoverable. When I’m not us…

Peanut | Froject Manager | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $40-110k + 0.5-2% equity We're bringing currency back to cryptocurrency. We care a LOT about UX and are at the forefront of chain…

Today Google Chrome disabled my adblocker, and the internet with ads experience shocked me. I can still re-enable it, but it seems like June 2025 is the actual deadline for support…
