#313https://www.saintbeluga.org/ I was a YC founder in 2006 and still do software engineering and data science full-time, but on the side I also do Christian apologetics, helping fellow engineers/scientists/mathematicians seek answers to life's deepest questions. Some cool articles for the HN crowd: - My interview of Evan O'Dorney, a three-time Putnam Fellow and two-time IMO gold medalist, who converted to Catholic Chris…
I was just considering an app to facilitate the other side of the apologetics argument with an interactive resurrection of IronChariots.org as a native app.

#314It's an email-only Korean (and English) language learning service started by me and my partner! We've both been interested in language and, since I've been learning Korean and she's been improving English, I've been looking for a modality that works for me -- apps don't click for me for some reason.
It started by me sending myself an email everyday with new Korean vocab/grammar, but we thought it would be nice if it responded with corrections and learned from my common mistakes to make better questions. So, we've built it out to work for us, and turns out other people also like it and are growing everyday!

#315I'm working on a customizable app for self-tracking, a combination of habit trackers, health logging and journaling. You should be able to track what you want in a way relevant for you. Think of a combination of free form CSV programs x habit tracker or health app. App will be local-first and without locking important features behind a subscription. Very recently I finished my bachelor thesis which was about this app…

#316We’re trying to make AI-first apps accessible to everyone. Here’s a simple app my toddler made to generate toy trains[0]. “Real users” are using it to build personal software tools like finance dashboards, content generators, and educational apps. Right now the functionality is great for many simple tools, but it’s notably lacking a first-class data layer (coming soon!). All of the AI-generated code runs in secure Mi…
> Here’s a simple app my toddler made to generate toy trains[0]. Can you explain what you mean by this? How did a 3-year-old (or younger) meaningfully contribute to the design of this app? Do they know how to read?
He simply asked it to make toy trains, all I did was clean up the text to "create toy trains"
From that prompt, it goes through steps to build out a UI and any back-end functionality (Loops) needed.
To use it, he tells me what type of train to generate ("underwater"[0]) and I type in the prompt. He has a lot of fun with it!

#317A wifi router that blocks all websites except for those needed for kids to study when you need it, and there is no way to escape, not even with vpn or tor or whatever, also with dashboard to show where they spent time on for how long. My middle school aged kids was able to escape with free proxy, vpn, tor etc in the past which forced me to figure out a way to lock it down totally when it's absolutely needed.

#319https://pwnscan.com A binary static analysis tool that identifies vulnerabilities. Right now, still just focused on buffer overflows. It can find some known CVEs and I’ve made several reliability improvements over the past month or so. I think I’m going to expand to additional vulnerability types soon.
