Show HN: What time is it in Corporate https://bit.ly/45DYb4n

Show HN: What time is it in Corporate Three months ago someone posted a site that showed time in corporate [1] The most interesting comment to me was about the National Retail Federation 4-5-4 calendar. That calendar was hard to understand, so I made a visualization of it. I also implemented the other calendar types people were asking for. I did find the SEC dataset of 10032 publicly traded companies [2][3], but have not finished implementing a search for symbol yet. [1] https://bit.ly/3CU0QLr [2] https://bit.ly/40e5qwv...

Show HN: AI Phone Interviewer – get a call in 30 seconds Enter your phone number, get called in 30 seconds for a 2–3 minute AI-powered screening interview. https://bit.ly/3FVTLLR Current MVP scope Right now it handles general screening questions and generates simple reports. We’re validating demand before building: Technical screening libraries ATS integrations Custom question sets per role or company Multi-language support Who we’re looking for We’d love feedback from recruiters and startup founders who are (or soon will be) running hiring processes. Request for feedback Please actually try the call first—I know it sounds gimmicky, but the voice quality will surprise you. Then let us know: Did it feel natural? Would you be comfortable being screened this way? If you hire, could you see your team using this? What needs improvement? To see the full recruiter dashboard, leave your email on the page and we’ll send you the demo. This is just an MVP to test the concept. Curious what HN thinks—future of recruiting or unnecessary automation? June 26, 2025 at 02:50AM

Show HN: Voice-Mode MCP – Conversational Coding for Claude Code, Gemini CLI When I heard about Google's clone of Claude Code this morning I tried out my 2 week old MCP server and instantly had two way voice conversation with it.

Show HN: I built a cloud on my own ASN w real 1:1 compute to fight the cartels https://bit.ly/3TautfS

Show HN: I built a cloud on my own ASN w real 1:1 compute to fight the cartels Sup HN I'm MX, a solo founder building Infuze Cloud, launching as a beta today. I started this project because I was tired of a long list of reasons why the cartels are ridiculous that I shall not dwell on for too long here because I had to rewrite this twice cause of hitting the character limit So I decided to try building something I’d want to use. The whole stack is built custom from the ground up with no external dependencies or costs to third parties apart from hardware and IP space. What Infuze is: Raw, dedicated performance: 1 vCPU = 1 physical thread. No overcommit. I cap my nodes allocations at the physical hardware limit with some overhead. Pricing based on what you use: It's set at $10/m for 4gb/1vcpu/50gb but can be provisioned for min 1hour(3 cents). Discounts on wallet top up's to prevent pressure to get unneeded resources(even the minimum top up starts at 10% discount so its actually $8+ a month goes down to $7.50 with larger top up's. Runs on our own hardware(leased) and autonomous system: We operate our own Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 servers and BGP-routed IP space (AS211747). KVM based with storage NVMe gen4 with ZFS Stack: It's built on mostly open source technology! Proxmox for virtualization, Knot for master authorative and outsourced for anycast slaves, custom Go microservices for most of the automation needed by the frontend(open sourcing some of them soon!). FRR for BGP. Networking is standard bridged networking that's routed from leased IP space that I'm announcing with FRR. Mail using maddy. Prometheus/node exporter for metrics, grafana for panels. The LLM chatbot is using AnythingLLM with openrouter but that was mostly like a FOMO thing lol tbh I don't expect anyone to use it much(because i dont) but if it helps someone then that's great. Support/ticketing is custom, with the Next.js frontend, billing is Stripe. Each VM gets a public IPv4 and a /64 subnet routed to it, no NAT or SNAT. If you guys have any questions or want to discuss more on the stack that I didn't mention I'm very open to sharing, discussing, and learning about new ways to optimize my stack. I'm still very new to all this and learning as I go along so any insight is appreciated! I'm working on something more experimental(custom firecracker fork that directly boots ELF+IVSHMEM apps from memory with a unikernel or initramfs), which I hope to bring to the public soon, but lacked funding to keep moving forward so I decided to start this as a learning experience and first venture into the industry, with a more mature stack that's reliable and battle tested enough for public use. Who it's for: Developers who prefer using linux with root access, via SSH, etc. People who want to pay for something closer to real infra costs. Compute isn't expensive and the tech isn't difficult. We shouldn't be forced to pay an amount that a monopoly feels they deserve. This isn't for those that engage in yaml-therapy or love contributing to the charitable foundation for wooden figureheads, but I've got something lined up for you guys too! ;) This is the first public beta, and while most things are battle-tested, I expect a few bumps. I’ll be around all day to answer any questions, fix bugs quickly, and learn from the feedback. For the benchmark nerds I spun up a quick little site for fun with v0 because I was finding endless things to tinker with and feed my impostor syndrome to delay launching this but I've dragged it long enough https://bit.ly/442jz23 You can get a free dollar voucher there and run a benchmark for fun, I wanted to do a larger amount but realized that my hourly billing is gonna be a magnet for abuse and being entirely self funded that's probably not a good idea, but I'm prepared to pivot fast(and strike back, to those even considering it -_-) Thanks for reading, and I’d love to hear any feedback, ideas, and critique. Appreciate you all. https://bit.ly/4lsyecI June 26, 2025 at 12:58AM

Show HN: Linux tool to save and recall memories quickly https://bit.ly/40k3PVI

Show HN: Linux tool to save and recall memories quickly i made this small Linux command tool which works by managing simple quick things you want to remember like a password/command/ideas, things that you might just need them noted somewhere. it works by allowing you to make files that work like categories each file has his own list of memories, each memory has it's own keywords, which are used to search for that memory when you need it. this project was made for 2 reasons, first was a personal need for a tool that remembers certain linux commands i use in like once a while, i know i could have just searched around for some tools that work this way, but i wanted to take this project as a way to learn shell scripting with no third party libraries, so it should be work natively on most linux distros. i would like contributions and ever more if they contain comments. https://bit.ly/4loEwKc June 25, 2025 at 11:34PM

Show HN: VSCan - Detect Malicious VSCode Extensions https://bit.ly/4lmj4FB

Show HN: VSCan - Detect Malicious VSCode Extensions Did you know that VSCode extensions run with full access to your system—including file system, network, and credentials? Worse, dozens of malicious extensions have already made it into the marketplace, silently compromising devices. I am a security researcher and student developer who ran into this problem myself. To help tackle this, I built a 100% free tool (no login required) that scans VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) extensions for: - Hidden malware and obfuscated code - Dangerous permissions and API misuse - Vulnerable dependencies and suspicious network connections Users have already found hundreds of vulnerabilities in extensions. VSCan generates a clean, developer-friendly security report to help you understand what you're installing. Try it out: https://bit.ly/3TGt7cS I have also developed custom sandboxing security architecture to restrict extensions from malicious activity during runtime. There is no existing technology that does this, so if you would be interested in trying it out or learning more, please reach out! I would greatly appreciate any feedback and thanks for your help! _______________________________________________________________________________ Here are some numbers as to what I have detected from a sample of 1077 extensions that are available on the Marketplace: - 3 extensions are marked as malicious by VirusTotal - 7 extensions use malicious network connections (verified by VirusTotal) - 33 extensions have dependencies with critical vulnerabilities - 39 extensions have sensitive information (I have seen api keys, usernames, passwords, etc.) - 204 extension have poor development practices as marked by OSSF - 71 extensions have very high permissions (while not bad can be indicator of potential malicious activity) As an example here is the link to an extension analysis with malicious network endpoints: https://bit.ly/4lquQiz... https://bit.ly/4kXY9t1 June 24, 2025 at 11:32PM

Show HN: Autumn – Open-source infra over Stripe https://bit.ly/4k2Niws

Show HN: Autumn – Open-source infra over Stripe Hey HN, I’m Ayush from Autumn ( https://bit.ly/4l3Rf5y ). Autumn is an open source layer over Stripe that decouples pricing and billing logic from your application. We let you efficiently manage pricing plans, feature permissions, and payments, regardless of the pricing model being used. It’s a bit like if Supabase and Stripe had a baby. Typically, you have to write code to handle checkouts, upgrades/downgrades, failed payments, then receive webhooks to provision features, reset usage limits etc. We abstract this into one function call for all payments flows (checkouts, upgrades, downgrades etc), one function to record usage (so we can track usage limits), and a customer state React hook you can access from your frontend (to handle paywalls, display usage data etc). Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFARthC7JXc Stripe’s great! But there are 2 main reasons people use Autumn over a direct Stripe setup: (1) Billing infra can get complex. After payments, there’s still handling webhooks, permission management, metering, usage resets, and connecting them all to upgrade, downgrade, cancellation and failed payments states. (2) Growing companies iterate on pricing often: raising prices, experimenting with credits or charging for new features, etc. We save you from having to handle usage-based limits (super common in pricing today), rebuilding in-app flows, DB migrations, internal dashboards for custom pricing, and grandfathering users on different pricing. Ripping out billing flows etc, really sucks. With Autumn, you just make pricing changes in our UI and it all auto-updates. We have a shadcn/ui component library that helps with this. Because we support a lot of different pricing models (subscriptions, usage, credits, seat based etc), we have to handle a lot of different scenarios and cases under the hood. We try to keep setup simple while maintaining flexibility of a native integration. Here’s a little snippet of the architecture of our main endpoint: https://bit.ly/4kYUDOW Currently, the users who get the most value out of us are founders that need to move fast and keep things flexible, but also new/non-technical devs that are more AI native. You can clone the project and explore the repo, or try it out at https://bit.ly/4l3Rf5y , where it’s free for builders. Our repo is https://bit.ly/4nbBKK1 , docs are at https://bit.ly/3HTMBZ2 and demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFARthC7JXc We’d love to hear your feedback and how we could make it better! https://bit.ly/4nbBKK1 June 24, 2025 at 01:48PM

Show HN: Weather Watching https://bit.ly/4k1EDdB

Show HN: Weather Watching I was walking around New York last month during some light rain and noticed about half the people had umbrellas open. When the rain picked up a few minutes later, that number jumped closer to 80%. It got me thinking it'd be cool to track this somehow, so I built a website! I am taking a sidewalk livestream, feeding it into a YOLO model for people tracking, then sending a frame of each detected person to Gemini 2.0 Flash, which returns structured JSON about each person's clothing and if they're holding an umbrella. I also had fun making the site look like a TV weather channel. I showed some friends this project and someone mentioned how the legendary Tasks xkcd comic ( https://bit.ly/40l34M7 ) is out of date now. If you want to check whether a photo has birds in it (or if someone is holding an umbrella), you can just ask an inexpensive vision model for JSON. https://bit.ly/4k5E8iL June 23, 2025 at 05:25PM

Show HN: Progressor – coach that breaks down big goals into actionable steps https://bit.ly/3FYm645

Show HN: Progressor – coach that breaks down big goals into actionable steps I built Progressor to help with a problem I kept running into: setting ambitious goals but getting stuck in planning, motivation, or knowing what to do next. You start by describing your goal — the more detailed, the better. Progressor then asks a series of targeted questions to understand your situation. Based on your answers, it creates a personalized step-by-step plan with small, focused daily tasks. Each task comes with relevant guidance and resources. You can adjust the plan at any point, and Progressor sends reminders to help you stay on track. This is not a habit tracker or to-do list — it’s a structured way to move forward on goals that usually feel too big or vague (e.g. launching a product and reaching €10k MRR, switching careers, finishing a personal project). Would love feedback from anyone who’s ever struggled to push a long-term goal over the finish line. https://bit.ly/44dkxav June 22, 2025 at 08:10AM

Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shape https://bit.ly/43VsEJZ

Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shape Hi HN, A few months ago, I started building Cutmuse after hearing the same thing over and over from friends and family: “I never know what haircut suits me.” The idea was to create a tool that uses AI and facial analysis to recommend personalized haircuts, hair colors, and even glasses based on each user’s unique features. You upload a photo (no login required or payment for the free version), and within minutes get a custom style report that includes: Haircuts that fit your face shape Hair color suggestions based on your skin tone Eyewear styles that match your proportions And optional grooming/skincare tips This isn't like Instagram filters or beauty apps that overlay random looks. What makes Cutmuse different is the depth of the analysis. It applies real visagism principles — a method used in professional image consulting — combined with facial landmark detection and color analysis to give you results that are not just aesthetic, but structured. We're currently live with users in 10+ countries and still iterating. This version includes: - A redesigned onboarding and report UX - A completely free plan (instant access, credit card required) - A more accurate styling engine Our stack mixes computer vision, handcrafted logic based on beauty design systems, and practical heuristics tuned from early user feedback. Would love your thoughts — UX, concept, practicality, or anything else. If this seems like a pointless problem to solve, I’d like to hear that too. Thanks for checking it out. With the code CM50 you get a 50% off https://bit.ly/4lbgtPv https://bit.ly/4lbgtPv June 22, 2025 at 05:56AM
