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

TelUI 1.2: TelUI with fun alignments

# TelUITelUI is a Electron-based UI framework that packages a handful of reusable front-end primitives—color utilities, typography helpers, and basic structural styles—so you can prototype simple desktop UI ideas with minimal setup.## Features - Bundled Electron runner (`npm start`) that serves `index.html` for instant desktop previews. - Tokenized styling layers: `color.css`, `font.css`, `header.css`, and `align.css` keep presentation rules isolated and easy to remix. - Micro-interaction helper

TelUI 1.1: New TelUI version Complete with tools to develop good software

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: Tikpal- Your AI Voice Partner – Focus, Flow, Forge

We’re building Tikpal, an AI voice productivity tool based on a simple principle: Human creativity should remain the core engine. AI should be an accelerator, not the protagonist.The goal is to reduce screen dependency and cognitive fragmentation, and let people work in a more natural “voice-first” flow. Instead of clicking through interfaces and context-switching between apps, you talk to Tikpal, and it helps you think, structure ideas, and execute tasks.Three layers we are focusing on:FOCUS —

Usability, accessibility, and the human-AI paradigm

The divergence between usability and accessibility in the age of AI and vibe codingUsability and AccessibilityToday, during what began as a routine discussion on accessibility with my Project Manager, the conversation took an unexpected turn. She suddenly looped in a senior member of the development leadership to “help move things forward.”In the middle of the exchange, the development leader looked at me and said, with surprising casualness:“Zeeshan, why are you treating Accessibility as someth

I’ve been met with more than one uncomfortable silence from my colleagues.I call myself an AI skeptic because I’m not bought into the idea that adding AI automatically means improvements and increased efficiency. I’m not alone; a 2025 P

Designing Stable Interfaces For Streaming Content

More interfaces now render while the response is still being generated. The UI begins in one state, then updates as more data comes in. You see this in chat apps, logs, transcription tools, and other real-time systems.The tricky part is that the interface is not in a fixed state; it keeps changing as new content comes in. It grows where lines become longer and new blocks appear. Something that was just below the screen can suddenly move, and the user’s scroll position becomes harder to manage. P

A Fresh View In May (2026 Wallpapers Edition)

May has a way of sneaking in with longer days, softer light, and that first real hint of summer in the air. It’s the season of fresh ideas and just enough energy to start something new, or finally pick up something you’ve been putting off. And sometimes, all it takes to spark that little bit of inspiration is a fresh view… even if it’s just on your desktop.That’s where our monthly wallpapers series comes in. For the past 15 years, artists and designers from around the world have been contributin

Defining AI fluency in user research roles

I’ll be joining Outset on May 5th at 6pm GMT for a webinar on a problem I think more teams need to take seriously, that poorly planned research doesn’t just give you bad data, it gives you confidence in bad data. We’ll talk about where bad inputs enter a study, how to catch them before they compound, and how to build better foundations for research that tells you the truth and gives you quality. We’ll be reframing GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) to QIQO (quality in, qualit

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

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: AI SDLC Scaffold, repo template for AI-assisted software development

I built an open-source repo template that brings structure to AI-assisted software development, starting from the pre-coding phases: objectives, user stories, requirements, architecture decisions.It's designed around Claude Code but the ideas are tool-agnostic. I've been a computer science researcher and full-stack software engineer for 25 years, working mainly in startups. I've been using this approach on my personal projects for a while, then, when I decided to package it up as

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
