Show HN: Simple to build MCP servers that easily connect with custom LLM calls Hi! After learning about MCP, I'm really excited about the future of provider-agnostic, re-usable tooling. Unfortunately I've found that while it's easy to implement an MCP server for use with tools that support it (such as Claude Desktop), it's not as easy to implement your own support (such as integrating an MCP server into your own LLM application). We implemented a thin MCP wrapper that easily integrates with Mirascope calls so that you can hook up an MCP server and client super easily to any supported LLM provider. Excited to see what people build with this! https://bit.ly/42yIWrX February 1, 2025 at 01:50AM

Show HN: 150+ products launched in 7 days on this fair Product Hunt alternative https://bit.ly/4hBPIl0

Show HN: 150+ products launched in 7 days on this fair Product Hunt alternative A little over a week ago, I was wondering if anyone would care about the thing I’d just built. Let me rewind a bit. I’m a solo indie maker, just like a lot of you. I’ve built so many projects, put in the work, and then… nothing. A few months ago, I launched something I was genuinely proud of on one of the big platforms. I was excited, hopeful. But within hours, it got buried under a pile of other launches. No one saw it. No one cared. That sucked. Not because I expected it to blow up overnight, but because it felt like I never even had a shot. And I kept thinking about how many other indie makers feel the same way? So, I decided to build something different. I coded for four days straight, juggling my 9-5 job, running on no sleep, and a lot of self-doubt. But I kept going because I believed in the idea: a platform where indie makers could get a fair shot. The idea was simple (but powerful as I see it): • 10 launches per day, max. Every product gets its moment in the spotlight. • 2 votes per user, per day. Quality over quantity. • An "Under Radar" feature to give overlooked products a second chance. • A randomized product list to ensure fair exposure and reduce voting bias. I posted about it here on Hacker News and on X, half-expecting crickets. But something incredible happened. Within hours, indie makers just like you and me started scheduling their products. And in just 7 days, over 150 products were scheduled to launch on the platform. Every time a new product is scheduled on ItsLaunched, I'm reminded why this platform needs to exist. These are products that deserve to be seen. I'm not sharing this to boast, but to thank this community. Your support, your feedback, and most importantly, your willingness to give a platform like this a chance, means the world to me. I’m still tweaking and improving the site every day based on feedback. It’s far from perfect, but it’s growing. So, if you're a maker with a product you're stoked about, come check us out at ItsLaunched.com and if you've already launched with us, a huge thank you. You're the reason this thing exists in the first place. As for me, I'm just a maker trying to create something that makes a difference. And thanks to this community, I feel like maybe, just maybe, we're doing exactly that. Here's to the makers and the dreamers. Keep building awesome things. We'll be here to make sure the world sees them. January 31, 2025 at 04:48AM

Show HN: 1M+ animated GPU sprites in JavaScript https://bit.ly/4aMmDBa

Show HN: 1M+ animated GPU sprites in JavaScript We added a new feature to our open-source HTML5 game engine today that allows you to create Sprite GPU Layers. These pack together simple JS object definitions onto the GPU and renders them using a custom vertex shader. This skips all CPU computation and GPU upload operations, resulting in vastly increased performance. For objects that don't need to be updated by input, physics, or other interactive behaviors, we found it to be a great solution. In testing, we've easily managed to blast millions of sprites around on moderate desktop-grade GPUs. Indeed, we hit the fill rate limitation of the GPU far sooner than we hit any other type of limitation. But as with all hardware-related things, ymmv. Frankly, we'd love to get our hands on a 5090 to see what we could do. The link includes 4 demos to play with, and the full source is on GitHub and npm under the MIT license. https://bit.ly/40ANtY5 January 31, 2025 at 02:52AM

Show HN: I made an UI for AutoHotkey using Python This is my free and open-source project that work with taking input from user and made AutoHotkey script from it. With integration of AutoHotkey Interception to make script able to remap only on specific devices. Can be useful for someone who want to use AutoHotkey, but don't know how to code or just lazy to code or simply someone who don't know AutoHotkey but interested in it's feature and want to use this project as a whole. This is not official tool from AutoHotkey but my standalone project. https://bit.ly/4jDBDoP January 30, 2025 at 09:26AM

Show HN: I created an AI app that creates endless language learning scenarios https://bit.ly/4hc6mI3

Show HN: I created an AI app that creates endless language learning scenarios I created LinguaLearn.ai to solve the repetitiveness of traditional language learning methods. It generates dynamic conversation practices across 30+ languages (including less common pairs like Korean→Spanish), with customizable scenarios and difficulty levels (A1-C2) delivered in WAV format accompanied by a transcript. The courses are similar to those produced by the Foreign Services Institute in the mid-20th century, which are very effective. Tech stack highlights: - Natural conversation generation in any scenario - Cross-language learning support (learn any language from any language) - Infinite number of scenarios (you can be really specific and i.e. try "restoring antique barometers from the Victorian era" or for a laugh you can try "falling out of plane and encountering amazon women"). - High-quality audio generation - Difficulty-aware content generation (CEFR levels A1-C2) - Full transcript generation Currently in beta, offering 5 free lessons/month. Here is an English -> Latin American Spanish HackerNews themed example: https://bit.ly/4gk9j7W... https://bit.ly/40FjAWy January 29, 2025 at 09:26PM

Show HN: I used DeepSeek to build a CLI setup for Stripe So I was thinking of a way to test out the DeepSeek chat and see how good it is, and then I stumbled on this gold from Theo. It's his recommendation on how to set up Stripe. If you've set up Stripe a lot or payment, you'd know how annoying it can be, so his recommendations are pretty good. Anyway, I decided to build a CLI setup for the Stripe recommendations using DeepSeek. Here's Theo's recommendation: https://bit.ly/4hu8LgX Here's the CLI by DeepSeek: https://bit.ly/3EeLjG7 Note: I didn't write any of this code.

Show HN: Bagels – TUI Expense Tracker Hi! I'm Jax and I've been building this cool little terminal app for myself to track my expenses and budgets! Other than challenging myself to learn Python, I built this mainly around the habit of budget tracking at the end of the day. (I tried tracking on-the-go, but the balance was always out of sync.) All data is stored in a single sqlite file, so you can export and process them all you want! The app is built using the textual API for Python! Awesome framework which feels like I'm doing webdev haha. You can check out some screenshots on gh: https://bit.ly/3ElWLzD Thanks! https://bit.ly/3ElWLzD January 26, 2025 at 09:57AM

Show HN: Guide Gecko – AI-Powered Codebase Understanding (macOS) https://bit.ly/4aARu3f

Show HN: Guide Gecko – AI-Powered Codebase Understanding (macOS) Hi HN As a security/cloud architect, I'm constantly handed new projects for review with tight deadlines. Reviewing thousands of lines of code in a short time is a huge pain. To solve this, I built Guide Gecko, a macOS app that uses Gemini to let you query your entire codebase. It connects to GitHub, uses your Gemini API key, and allows you to ask broad architecture questions, perform security reviews, identify potential improvements, and quickly understand any repo. You can also scope prompts to specific folders. I've been using this daily and found it incredibly helpful. I'd love to get feedback from the HN community. https://bit.ly/4aCAXw2 January 27, 2025 at 02:15AM
