Bedtime Bulb v2 [0], a light bulb that emits less blue light than other lighting, is finally shipping. It took years to get it right, but we figured out how to make a relatively energy efficient bulb that emits infrared and dims smoothly with any dimmer.

My team is also about to ship Atmos [1], a lamp for the bedside that automatically shifts from higher-blue light during the daytime to low blue light at night.

https://mytinycafe.com/ An PWA primarily for my wife and my daughter. They can order their hot chocolate and their coffee as if they were going to grab something at a fancy café downtown, but instead it's at home and I'm the barista. It is quite nice to have for when my wife comes back from work and want something specific, or when we are waiting for the visit of a few friend, they can order exactly the available bev…

so it's a point-of-snail sort of system, perfect for taking share in a teeny tiny market, and in the growth-share matrix something of a Cashless Cow?

Hi HN — I’m Gerome, and I’m working on CodinIT.dev.

TL;DR: CodinIT.dev is a local-first, open-source AI full-stack app builder that turns natural-language prompts into prototype → production web apps. It supports local/self-hosted workflows, connects to databases (Supabase), includes an integrated terminal and git automation, and plugs into 19+ AI providers so you can iterate fast. Download desktop app at https://codinit.dev .

A few quick facts

What it does: Generate full-stack code from prompts, preview instantly, and deploy anywhere — built for indie hackers who want full control of there code without vendor lock ins (open source).

Where the code lives: active repo and org on GitHub — org name is codinit-dev.

How to try it: download and run locally; the dev flow runs with pnpm run dev and serves locally from your machine.

Progress & current priorities

Stabilising the live code execution sandbox and improving safety/UX for file uploads and agent orchestration.

Tightening integrations with community LLM providers and adding more framework templates.

Improving contributor docs and reducing onboarding friction so people can run it locally without hurdles.

If you want to poke around, try the app or the GitHub org and open issues/PRs. I’ll hang around to answer technical questions here.

I like it. Delightful.

As a medical student, I'm making a site of free tools for medical trainees, the biggest being a rank list tool to balance logical factors and gut ranking as well as pairwise comparisons/maps/etc. https://medcompass.tools/rankcompass. Might adapt to other avenues to help people pick housing and other things that require ordered lists and decision tools!

I also make interactive tools for artists at https://artres.xyz.

I've been super inspired by all the amazing things I've seen on Hacker News.
