Show HN: I built a dream interpreter in JavaScript, no AI, no server, just logic

I built a browser-only dream interpreter that maps symbols to meaning using a custom keyword engine. No AI, no tracking, no backend it’s all deterministic logic, built with vanilla JavaScript. The idea was to see if emotional and symbolic interpretations could still feel personal without using machine learning. Dreams are parsed against a map of 300+ symbolic meanings. Everything runs locally in your browser and saves via localStorage. You can revisit old dreams, reflect on interpretations, or j

Show HN: Trained an AI model to launch my TikTok app

Hey HN — Chris here.I just launched Glyp, and I wanted to share the story behind it.A few months ago, I was running content marketing on TikTok for one of my previous apps.I tried influencer marketing. Paid $200+ per video. Waited days to get the content. Then crossed my fingers hoping it would perform.Sometimes it worked. Most of the time, it didn’t.So I switched to AI tools like Arcads. It helped—but only up to a point.The problem? I couldn’t scale.Most tools lock you into a pre-made library o

Show HN: Callio – A Real-Time AI Call Coach for iOS

Hi HN, I’m Carl Morris. After 10 years as a data scientist at Amazon, JD.com, and Stitch Fix, I decided to build my own product. That journey eventually led to Callio, a real-time AI call coach for iOS.

Show HN: Tlsinfo.me – check your JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprints

Recently I was learning a bit about TLS. This involved lots of capturing network traffic with `tshark`, then opening up wireshark to import the dump and check fingerprints, so I made this small service for easily checking.curl https://tlsinfo.me/json or visit from your browser. It returns the TLS fingerprint that your request presented, including: JA3, JA3_r (raw), JA4 and JA4_r (raw).No auth, QUIC supported, rate limited at 10 req/10s/IP to protect the server (pls be ni

What is the difference between useEffect and componentDidMount in React?

Great question! Understanding the difference between useEffect and componentDidMount is key to mastering React’s lifecycle—especially as the ecosystem shifts toward functional components.Think of your React component as a restaurant kitchen:componentDidMount is like the head chef who shows up once when the kitchen opens, setting up everything needed before cooking begins. This is how class components handle tasks that should run only once after the component mounts.useEffect, however, is more li

My reality: Decades of experience, seeking one team that believes in it

Hello,In a world of startups moving at lightning speed, most technical problems aren't new; they are echoes of past challenges with a new technological face. My name is Adán Caldera, and at 54, I have spent my career (spanning nearly three decades), in the trenches of every one of these transformations.My value lies not just in the technologies I command today, but in the deep understanding of the innovation cycles I have actively navigated: from mainframes and Y2K to the web, mobile, and n

Show HN

Hello Folks, since quite a while we had been working on an interesting problem which we have experienced and is known industry wide. As someone who works in autonomous robotics, we’ve seen how hard it is to debug hardware + software + behavior when systems fail in the field. Logs aren’t enough. Docs are scattered. People waste time hunting instead of fixing. Also leadership and development teams lacks track of what's the ground-level situation. This all info will be at one place.I'm su

Show HN: Sapient – AI Agent for Unreal Engine: Code, Blueprints, Game AI

After years of rebuilding the same core systems, chasing down bugs across code to assets, constantly losing momentum to engine blockers, and using the latest AI tools, we started wondering, “how much faster could we build if we embedded AI directly into our workflow?” That question turned into Sapient.Sapient is an AI-native dev tool embedded into Unreal as a plugin. Sapient is best for gameplay or systems engineers and technical designers, and it supports prototyping through production workflow

The IDE isn't going away

Somehow this is a contrarian opinion, but debuggers, code navigation, and autocomplete still matter. Developers are not being replaced.Starting a codegen companyKevin and I started Sweep two years ago.In 2023 GitHub Copilot was the status quo.We saw it and thought “this is not the final state of software development”."What do we do at our day jobs?" Almost all of our time was spent editing existing code.We built the MVP of our GitHub agent in 4 days and applied to YC.Going through YCDu

Ask HN: How to attract top engineers as an early-stage startup?

Finding great engineers is a known challenge for every early-stage startup as you need to find missionaries willing to trade cash for risk and upside.What we try: - We try to leverage personal networks, which seems like the best source (10x better than other methods)- We're willing to poach talent (when timing aligns)- We're generous with equity (can’t match FAANG cash)Public job boards didn't work at all. About 98 % of applicants are spray-and-pray. We even added a product-specif
