Current working on two new products:

* https://sprout.vision/ - AI generated Go-To-Market Strategy for launching your next venture. I have a Tech background with limited GTM experience, so I experimented with AI to learn about different strategies and decided to turn it into a simple product that will generate a comprehensive plan (500+ pages) to help you launch your next venture. Try it out, would love to hear your feedback, use the HN50 promo code for 50% off your order.

* https://pubdb.com/ - Reviving a 10 year old project, it’s meant to make research publications more accessible to mere mortals with the help of AI. I have lots of ideas I want to try out here but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Currently focused on nailing down the basics with an OCR indexing pipeline and generating AI summaries.

I'm still having a lot of fun releasing daily puzzles for my game Tiled Words: https://tiledwords.com It just won an award! It was awarded Players' Choice out of 700 daily web games at the Playlin awards: https://playlin.io/news/announcing-the-2025-playlin-awards-w... Right now around 3,500 people play every day which kind of blows my mind! It's free, web-based, and responsive. It was inspired by board games and cros…

How did you go from 0 users to 3,500? Genuinely curious how people get their games off the ground.

When GPT-4.5 came out, I used it to write a couple of novels for my son. I had some free API credits, and used a naive workflow:

while word_count It worked well enough that the novels were better than the median novel aimed at my son's age group, but I'm pretty sure we can do better.

There are web-based tools to help fiction authors to keep their stories straight: they use some data structures to store details about the world, the characters, the plot, the subplots etc., and how they change during each chapter.

I am trying to make an agent skill that has two parts:

- the SKILL.md that defines the goal (what criteria the novel must satisfy to be complete and good) and the general method

- some other md files that describe different roles (planner, author, editor, lore keeper, plot consistency checker etc.)

- a python file which the agent uses as the interface into the data structure (I want it to have a strong structure, and I don't like the idea of the agent just editing a bunch of json files directly)

For the first few iterations, I'm using cheap models (Gemini Flash ones) to generate the stories, and Opus 4.6 to provide feedback. Once I think the skill is described sufficiently well, I'll use a more powerful model for generation and read the resulting novel myself.

I don't play every day, but I've been a big fan of Tiled and showed it to a number of other folks.

Thank you so much for keeping it going!

I've been working on a surfing game on my spare time for the past year. The idea is to keep it closer to the real sport, focusing on pumping, carving, nose-riding, etc. I shared a video of it on the Unity3D subreddit[1] and the feedback was quite positive, so planning on getting a demo ready as soon as possible!

Building a new kind of news site, featuring updates from primary sources.

We're constantly pulling info from official sources, and using AI to group and summarize into stories, and continue to share reporting from trusted, vetted journalists.

The result is news with the speed and breadth of getting updates straight from the source, and the perspective and context that reporting provides.

Still ramping up, but I'd love to hear feedback:

So many things these days I just love being an engineer rn - ai scheduling assistant - polymarket trading bots - ai assisted form filler - games my 6 y/o dreams up - openclaw workflows - and countless hackathon-y projects at work that never would have seen the light of day without my best friend Claude

I've been building https://lan.events . It's been built entirely with an LLM as I've been learning more concepts behind agentic engineering for reliable development with an LLM. The primary reason I built it is because LANs are disappearing and they were a formative part of my childhood. They were a way to connect with people that I knew from all over the world. I still have some lasting friendships from the big and…

I love the idea and am working on something similar around getting more IRL events out in the world with https://onthe.town

I do wonder if the problem is not so much having a place to find LAN events but actually just having enough people put on LAN events in the first place. It feels like a thing of the past with how much less people interact in person these days. It's a shame because LANs are awesome!

Have you thought about ways to make it easier for people to host LAN events? Or does this solve that as well? I guess a solution would require matching random people together. Happy to discuss more - nick at onthe.town

I’m working on a tool to automate manual document workflows, specifically for industries like manufacturing where accounting paperwork is still a manual burden. The workflow: Upload doc → LLM extracts structured data → Generate new doc from template. It’s API-first, includes webhooks, and is built to be self-hosted/self-provisioned for privacy. Still very much a WIP, but looking for feedback on the feature set and th…
