Show HN: Superglue – open source API connector that writes its own code Hi HN, we’re Stefan and Adina, and we’re building superglue ( https://superglue.cloud ). superglue allows you to connect to any API/data source and get the data you want in the format you need. It’s an open-source proxy server which sits between you and your target APIs. Thus, you can easily deploy it into your own infra. If you’re spending a lot of time writing code connecting to weird APIs, fumbling with custom fields in foreign language ERPs, mapping JSONs, extracting data from compressed CSVs sitting on FTP servers, and making sure your integrations don’t break when something unexpected comes through, superglue might be for you. Here's how it works: You define your desired data schema and provide basic instructions about an API endpoint (like "get all issues from Jira"). superglue then does the following: - Automatically generates the API configuration by analyzing API docs. - Handles pagination, ...

Show HN: Mapping historical markers around the world I saw the 'map of torii' post yesterday and thought y'all might like to see the small app I've been working on that uses HMDB.org data to map historical markers around the world. HMDB has been aggregating markers for over 15 years and back when I was living out of my van and traveling full-time I wanted to get notified whenever I passed one, so I built a mobile app around that. I think historical markers are underrated - as a physical marker they make history tangible. Rather than reading about history from a classroom, you get the opportunity to see and engage with it at the source. If you're already nearby, they are often worth the stop to learn more. Since releasing the iOS app a few years ago, I've been able to enhance the markers with summaries (which makes reading the content a lot more palatable), and converting them to audio, so you can listen to markers when you're driving. Yesterday I officially ...

Show HN: Willpayforthis.com – Ideas people will pay for Ah, there's a dumb easy hack to figure out what ideas people will pay for. Search "I'd pay for" on Twitter and you'll find hundreds of posts from people talking about pain points and products they'd pay for to solve them. Do this enough and you realize you have to filter through a lot of slop. slop. slop. I created willpayforthis.com to accumulate high signal, high quality posts and save you some time. I love thoughts from the community on how I can make it better, save you time, and help you work on the best ideas. https://ift.tt/krTYKX3 February 23, 2025 at 12:21AM

Show HN: Hackyournews.com v2 A year and a half after I published https://ift.tt/HQAIDNE , I've rewritten it to be neater and added support for more news sources. HackYourNews.com v1 had a great response on HN [1] and consistently sees ~2k weekly unique visitors. There were many long-standing requests that I wanted to fulfill (thanks for your patience!): a proper dark mode, correct rendering on mobile devices, and more cogent summaries. This rewrite is the result. gpt-4o-mini reduces the cost of summarization to an absurd degree, so it's now sustainable to keep this free service going! Someday, I hope to use the Batch API [2] to drive down costs even further. Enjoy. [1] https://ift.tt/DvkQgEr [2] https://ift.tt/ryKPqbm February 16, 2025 at 06:16AM

Show HN: Sort lines semantically using llm-sort This is a small plugin I made for Simon Willison's llm utility. You can do things like: cat names.txt | llm sort -q "Which one of these names is best for a pet seagull?" cat books.txt | llm sort -q "Which book is more related to basic vs. advanced CS topics?" I see a lot of potential marrying LLMs with classic UNIX interfaces. https://ift.tt/9GDceOu February 11, 2025 at 08:55AM

Show HN: Colada for Claude I actually enjoy Claude.ai's interface and artifacts implementation. I didn't want to lift and shift over to another LLM tool. So, to get past the daily limits, I decided to build a simple Chrome extension which continues conversations using your own Anthropic API key (or using our managed key). In short: - Get past Claude.ai conversation limits - Bring your own Anthropic API key - Optionally use our managed unlimited API key - Preserve conversation context - Bring project knowledge context into your extended convos - Reference web search results anytime by asking "Search the web" Let me know what you think. Open to any and all feedback. https://usecolada.com February 11, 2025 at 10:38PM

Show HN: A website that heatmaps your city based on your housing preferences For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a major park. Given that public transportation networks can sometimes make close things hard to get to and far things easy to get to, it's not always obvious whether a neighborhood actually even fits my criteria or not! The overarching goal of theretowhere.com is to allow you to make more informed moving decisions whi...

Show HN: A configuration management system for minimal *Nix environments I built this thing to scratch my itch for a simpler alternative to Ansible and similar for basic jobs like setting up a dev env, building containers, and provisioning small fleets of servers. Grateful for feedback on the approach! A couple of friends and I have found it useful for day-to-day automation tasks and I'm wondering if there's enough utility in its ability to target minimal environments like Alpine containers or IoT devices to warrant fleshing out a proper 1.0 release. https://ift.tt/n54asKd February 7, 2025 at 11:16PM

Show HN: New approach for CI/CD/compute system I've been tired with the current options on the market for awhile and decided to do something about it after the running into the disaster that is MLOps at my last two startups and having to manage a multiple operation platforms both for my fellow ML engineers, the general application CI/CD and orchestration layers while simultaneously building the application itself. Its still extremely early for the product but its functioning and is well on its way. I'd love feedback on the approach and peoples thoughts on the problem space. Personally my irritations have been in the poor tooling, slow iteration cycles, an the amount of manual setup that's needed just for a basic system with reasonable performance. I also wanted something that had a price point that is reasonable for solo projects, as I believe that's where most of the magic happens in our industry and I wanted something that supported those of us in that space while mak...

Show HN: Mandarin Word Segmenter with Translation I've built mandoBot, a web app that segments and translates Mandarin Chinese text. This is a Django API (using Django-Ninja and PostgreSQL) and a NextJS front-end (with Typescript and Chakra). For a sample of what this app does, head to https://ift.tt/OaoDLTM . This is my presentation of the first chapter of a classic story from the Republican era of Chinese fiction, Diary of a Madman by Lu Xun. Other chapters are located in the "Reading Room" section of the app. This app exists because reading Mandarin is very hard for learners (like me), since Mandarin text does not separate words using spaces in the same way Western languages do. But extensive reading is the most effective way to learn vocabulary and grammar. Thus, learning Mandarin by reading requires first memorizing hundreds or thousands of words, before you can even know where one word ends and the next word begins. I'm solving this problem by allowing users to ...

Show HN: Groundhog AI Spring API For anyone building weather-related AI apps, I am releasing an exciting iteration on last year’s model. My Groundhog API is trained on 130 years of data and makes use of 82 separate data sources. Similar to DeepSeek, it is completely open source and free to use. The primary use case is to make inferences about whether spring will come early or not, using a Mixture of Exports (MoE) approach, but surely others can be found if you are creative. Other use cases: - All predicting groundhogs - Where they all live - Whether they are “real” groundhogs or imposters Excited to see what people do with it! https://ift.tt/ZpEhzqI February 2, 2025 at 10:59PM
