I am working on a tool called Slicely. It is similar to tools like askyourpdf.com but built for enterprise use cases. The focus is to keep you in complete control of the information you share with the LLMs.
I have completed the prototype covering the most fundamental use case. Now, I am looking for the initial set of users interested in trying it and understanding its market fit.

#652I've been working on a site that helps you find in-person work in NYC that is actually convenient: https://walkablework.com I cofounded a remote startup in 2021 that I ended up leaving after a few years because I found the remote culture to be very isolating and I didn't feel like it would lead to a successful company. Many companies have started implementing return to office policies that unfortunately don't make se…
Could I post a job in Seattle?

#653I’m actually working on an IOS app who estimates if a parking space is available or not in Paris because finding parking in Paris is such a journey.

#654I’m scraping a list of every single UK company that has raised funding in the last 3 years - with details of how much and when - after finding out the info is available but hidden in certain filings on the Companies House website. Let me know if you’d like a copy for free - should be done in the next week or two!
Definitely interested!

#657using AI to audit sneaky, slippery, weaselly lawyers for claims. after 8 years of estate litigation, a lot of crap revealed in courts cause papers where counsels who collude to bleed the estates. AI does the legal issues analysis and match the lawyers subsequent motions to verify their appropriate and loyal response for the client's cause. On target to recover millions.
That's cool. IANAL however I know people who got screwed like this in my country and were laughed at when they voiced their suspicions 'you are not a lawyer, you don't understand, don't worry, just pay and trust us' and 'you don't think the judge would allow it if your suspicions had any merit now, do you?'.

#658I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…
Thank you for building this! I’ve discovered it a while ago and has been showing it as an example of what a good government website should look like. It’s a joy to read and explore, even though I’m not considering moving to Berlin :-)
Any suggestions to anybody starting another website like this?

#660I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far fr…
Some feedback: I was about to try now (paying) but currently I can only install it in my desktop (no iOS support), and I am very worried about the idea of giving full access to a close-source unpopular extension with not-very-clear ownership.
I think it would go a long way to create some trust to show who are you in the webpage and maybe open source the extension too (the backend is not as importa nt).
