Show HN: Sushidata – automating the painful parts of competitor and VoC research

Hi HN,A few months ago we noticed a pattern. Every GTM, product, and marketing team we talked to had the same problem. They were drowning in external data from Reddit, Discord, Slack communities, competitor sites, and social channels. But turning all of that noise into something structured and useful took an enormous amount of time.We watched people spend days copying screenshots into spreadsheets, tagging posts, and checking competitor websites by hand. We were doing the same thing ourselves an

Show HN: SprintPulse – AI-powered retrospectives that drive action

Hi HN,I am the founder of SprintPulse. Like many of you, I used to dread retrospective meetings. They often turned into a repetitive cycle where we wrote down the same issues every sprint but never actually fixed them. "Better communication" was on our action item list for months.I built SprintPulse to fix that loop. It is a tool designed not just to collect feedback, but to make sure it leads to real change.When I looked at the tools available, I found they fell into two camps.On one

Show HN: Real-Time AI Design Benchmark

Hey HN,We built a different kind of AI benchmark for UI generation.Instead of static leaderboards or curated screenshots, you can watch multiple models generate the same design live, side-by-side, and decide which output is actually better.Under the hood, we call AI models from Anthropic (Opus), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and Moonshot AI (Kimi).Each model generates a real, editable project using Tailwind CSS (not screenshots or canvas exports). You can export it for Next.js, Laravel (Blade),

Show HN: I built a Chrome extension to let my OpenClaw Bot remote in

Sharing a build-in-public update.I’ve been working with my assistant “Gideon” (running inside OpenClaw) to solve a very specific problem:I want the agent to control my real browser (logged-in sites, my normal cookies, my actual tabs) - not a sandboxed headless browser - while still keeping the control surface simple and auditable. This means my OpenClaw won't break the moment a site gets "clever".So... We built it! I say we but it was mostly Gideon and I was along for the ride as

Show HN: VantageKit – a lightweight data room with staging, analytics, & AI Q&A

Hi HN,I’m the solo developer behind VantageKit. I was a PM for a long time and recently decided to get back into coding. I’ve been building this part-time for just under two months (first commit was Dec 26). I was able to move this fast largely by leaning heavily on Claude Code to accelerate my workflow, and I wanted to share the result here to get your feedback.THE PROBLEM: - Sharing pitch decks, proposals, or due diligence docs is full of friction. You either send PDF attachments (and fly blin

Show HN: UseWhisper.dev – AI Code Reviewer (please test and roast it)

Hey HN!I built UseWhisper.dev — an AI code reviewer that analyzes your code diffs, PRs, or snippets and returns review feedback instantly. It runs in the browser with no signup required, and is meant to give developers quick second opinions on logic, style, security, and best practices.https://usewhisper.devWhat it does:Paste a diff, GitHub PR link, or code snippetGet line-by-line intelligent feedbackSuggestions on readability, errors, anti-patternsNo login, minimal UI, fast responsesW

Show HN: utils.live – Developer utilities that run entirely in your browser

I kept opening different websites for simple dev tasks — formatting JSON, encoding Base64, testing regex patterns. Each one had ads, signup walls, or sent my data to a server. I wanted a single place where everything runs client-side with nothing leaving my browser.Each tool is a stateless pure function defined with Zod schemas. The schemas validate input at runtime and also generate the UI automatically — editor language, form fields, and output format are all inferred from the schema shape. To

Show HN: EncroGram – Messaging When You Assume Everything Will Be Looked At

Hi HN,I’m not using EncroGram because I like clean UI or new apps. I’m using it because I assume that sooner or later, anything I touch might be examined — devices, servers, logs, timelines.Most messaging apps focus on encrypting content. That’s table stakes now. What matters in practice is everything around the content: identifiers, metadata, backups, correlations, and the quiet assumptions built into the system.EncroGram caught my attention because it seems to start from a different premise: r

Show HN: Intentify – Point at your UI, describe a change, get a PR

Intentify is now generally available.It turns UI change requests directly from your app into structured tickets and pull requests.How it works: 1. Point and describe – Click on any element in your app and describe the change in plain language. 2. Review the proposal – Intentify generates a preview by updating the page. You review and approve 3. Create a PR – A pull request is opened for engineers to review and merge.Engineers stay in control. Nothing auto-ships.Intentify adapts to your code patt

Ask HN: Anyone doing production image editing with image models? How?

Hey HN — I’m building an app where users upload “real life” clothing photos (ex. a wrinkly shirt folded on the floor). The goal is to transform that single photo into a clean, ecommerce-style image of the garment.One key UX requirement: the output needs to be a PNG with transparency (alpha) so we can consistently crop/composite the garment into an on-rails UI (cards, outfit layouts, etc.). Think “subject cutout that drops cleanly into templates.”My current pipeline looks like: 1. User-uploa

Human Strategy In An AI-Accelerated Workflow

I’ve been working in User Experience design for more than twenty years. Long enough to have seen the many job titles, from when stakeholders asked us to “just make it pretty” to when wireframes were delivered as annotated PDFs. I’ve seen many tools come and go over the years, methodologies rise and fall, and entire platforms disappear. Yet, nothing has unsettled designers quite like AI.When generative AI tools first entered my workflow, my reaction wasn’t excitement — it was unease, with a littl

You’re still designing for an architecture that no longer exists

Claude just showed us what replaced it.VISUAL 1: The Dissolved Interface. Generated with Gemini.Last Tuesday, I asked Claude to prepare a competitive analysis. Not in a chat window. Not through a prompt. I opened Cowork, pointed it to a folder on my desktop, and said what I needed. It read my files. It cross-referenced data from Slack through a connector. It pulled calendar context. It produced a document — formatted, structured, sourced — and saved it to my working folder. I didn’t open a singl

Prompt Hoarders: 7 Reasons Saving Prompts Won’t Make You Creative

We’re not getting smarter with AI — we’re just getting better at hoarding prompts and calling it “creativity.” The real danger isn’t AI replacing us. It’s us quietly forgetting how to think.

Product ethics have never mattered more

OpenAI just struck a deal with the Pentagon. Anthropic refused. And users noticed, which tells us something important about the future of values in product design.In the last week of February 2026, something unusual happened. A sitting US president took to social media to brand a private technology company a political threat. The Secretary of Defense designated that same company a supply chain risk, a classification previously reserved for foreign adversaries. And hours later, a rival AI lab swo

Why is real-world ASR still ~85% when lab models claim >95%?

Curious to hear what approaches people are taking, what the bottlenecks are, and whether anyone here is pushing toward the goal of "AI that understands you, the first time."I've been diving into the gap between benchmark ASR performance and real-world speech. Models like Whisper and Deepgram show impressive >95% accuracy in ideal conditions. But in the wild — accents, noisy environments, emotional speech, code-switching, overlapping speakers — accuracy often drops sharply, ofte

Show HN: Prompt optimizer for vibe-coding with LLMs

I’ve been working on a small tool aimed at reducing prompt friction in vibe-coding workflows.In practice, a lot of iteration comes from underspecified prompts: missing constraints, unclear scope, implicit assumptions, or mixed intent. This tool takes a rough, natural-language description of what you want to build and rewrites it into a more explicit, structured prompt with clearer requirements and context before it’s sent to the model.The focus is on:Making intent, constraints, and assumptions e

Show HN: Create an onboarding flow on Flutter in 5 min

Hey Flutter devsIf you've shipped apps before, you know how important it is to have an efficient and polished onboarding flow. It's the first thing users see and often the reason they leave.You've probably first focused on the core of your app, what makes it different. And now, you want to push it to the store, but you know you have to build an onboarding flow... and it's a little painful.Onboarding flows are deceptive. They are super easy to build technically, but very diffi

Accessibility testing takes more than a scan

Uncover accessibility issues that automated tools can’t catchWhen you evaluate a webpage for accessibility, it’s appealing to use automated scanners to quickly get an “accessibility score,” identify issues, and then move on. Browser-based accessibility extensions make this easy…in just a few minutes, you can generate a list of accessibility defects from missing labels to low color contrast.While these tools can catch accessibility issues early, they don’t provide a complete picture or reflect ho
