Show HN: Touch Trigonometry – interactive way to understand the trig functions
I started to teach myself to code around 15 years ago. At the time I was working service industry jobs (restaurant kitchens, coffee shops) and desperate to change my career and life.Around that time there was a new thing called <canvas> available in HTML5 that you could use to render graphics in web pages without plugins; despite my limited knowledge of tech and lack of coding skills, I knew I wanted to be a part of that.Around that same time, I had also enrolled at the community college f
Ask HN: Built an algorithmic forensic accounting tool
How do I get 1 firm to do a pilot?Over the last two months, I’ve posted a few times about a tool I built to automate forensic accounting for high-conflict divorces. (I recently wrote about using Python to automate a $5k forensic CPA job).The tech is solid. It uses a spatial-grid OCR pipeline to ingest blurry bank PDFs, applies the court-mandated Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule (LIBR) using graph theory, and outputs a cryptographically sealed (SHA-256) dossier tracing commingled assets. Because
Show HN: A Hacker News–style site focused on European tech
Hi Hacker News!So, I built this because I noticed that a lot of European startup activity really flies under the radar.Did you know we have cool startups trying to mine with giant lasers (Hades), forge semiconductor substrates in orbit (Space Forge), build Neurosurgical microrobots (Robeauté), build hypersonic missiles (Hypersonica), and dozens of incredible companies pushing the boundaries of photonics, robotics, nuclear fusion, autonomous defence, and lots more?Hacker News is great, but it
Show HN: GrantFlow (FastAPI and LangGraph) for donor-aligned NGO proposal drafts
Hi HN,I’ve been building GrantFlow, an open-source drafting workflow engine for institutional grant proposals.The problem: many NGOs and implementing organizations spend a huge amount of time/money translating solid program ideas into donor-specific, reviewable proposal artifacts before they can even get meaningful feedback internally.A lot of that work is not “thinking through the intervention” — it’s reshaping the same idea into structured outputs (ToC, LogFrame, MEL framing), aligning la
Show HN: Vettly – AI voice agent that conducts first-round interviews
Solo founder here. Built Vettly after spending too many hours on repetitive phone screens.How it works: paste a job description → AI generates a custom interview plan → candidates self-schedule via a public link → AI voice agent conducts a structured interview → you get a full transcript + scored report.The hard parts:- Getting the AI to ask exactly one question at a time (not dump 5 at once)- Making the voice feel natural, not robotic- Keeping scoring auditable and bias-freeFree tier live
Show HN: Widify – An AI auto-blogging tool that commits directly to GitHub
Hi HN,I’m an indie developer from Japan , and I’m sharing Widify today: an automated blogging tool that generates SEO-optimized articles and translations, then pushes them directly to your GitHub repository.Why I built this: Managing blogs, writing SEO-focused content, and translating posts into multiple languages takes a massive amount of time. I wanted a system where I could just define the topics, and the tool would handle the research, writing, localization, and publishing seamlessly. I coul
Show HN: CivBench a long-horizon AI benchmark for multi-agent games
Hey HN!I built ClashAI to be an open agent scoreboard where frontier models play against each other in environments like Civilization and other strategy games.Every match is streamed live with the AI thinking fully observable.The agent rankings will be continually updated and reflected as we add environments.Brief notes on CivBench Season #001:- 200 turn limit- Starting with 8 of the top 42 agents we’ve tested in a standardized harness- 90s reasoning timeout (timed with thinking config per mod
