I built my childhood dream: an open-source intelligence workspace inspired by platforms like Palantir

Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by spy movies, hacker movies, and the huge intelligence maps you always saw on screen.

As I got older, I realized there are real platforms that solve similar problems, but they're generally proprietary and out of reach for most developers.

I kept wondering what an open-source version could look like.

So over the past few weeks I've been building Akashic.

Akashic is a self-hosted intelligence workspace that brings together aircraft, satellites, earthquakes, weather, public radio, infrastructure, country intelligence, public cameras, and other OSINT sources onto a single interactive map.

The goal isn't to replace every existing service.

It's to make exploration easier.

Instead of switching between multiple websites, you can combine layers, inspect entities directly on the map, and correlate information from different public sources in one workspace.

Current highlights:

• Open source (MIT)

• Self-hosted

• No mandatory API keys

• Built in public

This is still an early project, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on the direction, missing features, or things you'd like to see.

Prepare for your ProductHunt launch ahead of time

Hi all,

As i'm working on growing launchpact.io i'm seeing a lot of unprepped launches and as the day unfold they don't get much visibility and end up with a failed launch.

This is one of the reasons i build launchpact.io, if you have an upcoming launch do check it out and prep ahead of time, i also added this checklist that can give some hints too, have a read.

Good luck everyone!

Made an invoicing and bookkeeping app for micro and mini MSMEs

​

Hey guys, as the post says I made an android/webapp for shopkeepers and everyday business owners who are starting to get compliant with GST or need a simplified approach from tally that seems to dominate the market and requires training to use. I have been in contacts with market associations and CA's and am slowly starting to onboard users but unsure how I can get funding. if anyone has any ideas please tell me cause feel like I'm stuck and needing funding to hire a team and grow the product. The product is live as if anyone wants to check it dm me and give me any reviews for improvements I can make.

Launched Today. HeyZoku - Hands Free Coding to 10x your productivity

I built HeyZoku.
PH - https://www.producthunt.com/products/heyzoku/launches/heyzoku-hands-free-coding

As the models are getting much better at understanding us directly via voice, we should be working towards finding more ways to improve our productivity and do better work. And shouldn't be limited to just chat/keyboards to do our work. With how humans naturally communicate with each other, it should be the same way with the machines, a human shouldn't need to learn how a computer works - it should be natural.

So today I am launching HeyZoku - Hands Free Coding. So you can control all your coding agents just with your voice and complete your work without any need to continuously touch your keyboard.
I am using Nvidia Parakeet to make it work completely offline - so it can work completely offline. (It also has an optional bring your own openai-realtime key for more natural and multi language support.)

Open to any kind of questions or feedback and thank you for your support.
An upvote would mean a lot!

we're building an android widget that shows what your friends are listening to across spotify, apple music, youtube music and local players

our friend group is split across spotify, apple music, youtube music and even vlc. theres no way to see what everyone is playing unless you're all on the same app.

so we started building vynu, an android home screen widget that shows what your close friends are currently listening to in a compass style view. designed to work across different music players.

its not a streaming app or a social network. just a small quiet widget for close friend groups who want to know what each other are playing.

we're still early and want to see if this actually resonates before we go all in. if you’d use something like this, join the waitlist at getvynu.com so we can measure demand.

would love honest feedback, would you actually keep this on your home screen?

Looking for a technical cofounder / founding engineer for an AI startup — Kerala / Remote

Hey everyone,

I’m a founder from Thrissur, Kerala, and I’m building Emma — a personal AI that remembers your life.
The idea is simple: you shouldn’t have to explain yourself to AI from scratch every time. Emma is being built as a persistent memory layer that understands the people, decisions, plans, conversations and context of your life over time.
I’ve already been building the product, so this isn’t just an idea sitting in a Notion document.
Now I’m looking for the right technical person to build the next stage with me.

I initially thought I needed a “CTO”, but I’m realizing that titles don’t really matter right now. I need a seriously good builder who can eventually become my technical cofounder if we work well together.
Ideally you’re strong in some combination of:

Full-stack product development
React / Next.js / TypeScript
Backend architecture and databases
LLMs / AI systems
Memory, retrieval, embeddings or vector databases
Privacy/security
Shipping things ridiculously fast

I’m based in Thrissur, but you absolutely don’t need to be. Remote anywhere in India works.

I also want to be completely transparent: I’m bootstrapping right now and cannot offer a big salary. So I’m not looking for someone to quit a ₹30L job tomorrow and work for free based on promises.

I’m looking for someone who genuinely connects with what I’m building. We can work together first, see whether there’s chemistry, and if we both believe in it, discuss a proper founding role, equity and long-term structure.

One more thing: I’d especially love to hear from women engineers/builders. I’ve previously had a cofounder/CTO relationship that didn’t work out, and this time I’m intentionally trying to meet people outside my usual network. That said, gender isn’t a requirement. The right person is the right person.
I care much more about what you’ve built than where you studied or which company is on your CV.

If you’ve built weird side projects at 2 AM, experimented obsessively with AI, tried starting something yourself, or simply believe personal AI is going to become much bigger than today’s chatbots, I’d genuinely like to talk.
DM me with what you’ve built and a little about yourself.

Even if you’re not interested but know someone who might be perfect for this, I’d appreciate an introduction.

Am I getting fake reviews even at the early stage?

About a week ago, I posted here that I'm building a "Glassdoor for gated societies" in India.

It's basically a structured review platform where residents can review their societies.

I've been living in India for about a year as a foreigner.

I'm still very early. I don't even have 10 reviews yet.

Since there aren't many users yet, I'm personally reaching out to people and asking if they could help me by leaving a review.

Recently, someone I met through Reddit became the first contributor from Kolkata.

We had actually talked quite a bit about the project before this, so I was genuinely happy when he decided to contribute.

I published the review, sent him the link, thanked him, etc.

Then I randomly found the second-ranked review on Google for the same society, and it was almost identical to the review he submitted to my platform.

My first reaction was basically:

"Wait... what? 😂"

I don't know exactly what happened, so I'm not going to claim that it was definitely copied.

But it got me thinking about something I've been thinking about since the beginning of this project:

How do you actually build a trustworthy UGC platform when you can't completely control the authenticity of every piece of content?

This experience made me realize that I probably shouldn't try to perfectly verify every review before publishing it.

Instead, I'm leaning toward preventing obvious abuse technically, while keeping the option to investigate and verify reviews when necessary.

From what I've read, AmbitionBox seems to take a somewhat similar approach in its moderation policy.

I'm still figuring this out, but this experience definitely made me think more seriously about how trust should work in a UGC platform.

What do you think?

Got my first paying customer today

After about 2 months now since I launched https://certleaf.com today was the first purchase!

What has worked really well for me is a consistent workflow for publishing blog posts everyday and social posts everyday. All my posts and articles are generated by AI to follow a certain theme and match keywords and delivered for approval on telegram. I approve the ones that are good or suggest changes. This has meant a consistent growth on SEO without having spent a penny on backlinks yet.

Honest and Brutal Reviews on our Product Please .... !

I've been building Pinaka on the side for the past few months — an AI agent that automatically writes root cause analyses when a bug ticket is filed.

The problem it solves: every time a production bug hits, a senior engineer spends 2-3 hours investigating before writing a single line of fix. The actual fix takes 20 minutes. The investigation takes the rest of the day.

Pinaka eliminates that investigation step. Tag a Jira ticket or mention @pinaka-app on a GitHub Issue — it reads your indexed codebase, captures runtime context via an SDK, and posts a structured RCA as a comment. Root cause, exact file, exact line, fix approach. Automatically.

What I've validated so far

Ran it against real open source bugs:

  • BullMQ issue #2487 — code only scored 6.5/10, code + runtime context scored 9.2/10 against the actual merged fix
  • Prisma ORM issue #29480 — open bug, no ground truth, diagnosed from behavioral contrast across test files
  • Pinaka's own Java SDK — found a real ForkJoinPool exhaustion bug, fix shipped same day

All three write-ups are public, including the limitations.

What I'm looking for

couple of engineering teams (2-150 engineers) using GitHub who want to try this on a real production bug. Free, no commitment. I'll personally onboard you and be available for any questions.

Works with Jira and GitHub Issues. No Jira required. One OAuth click to connect. First 5 RCAs free.

Honest state of the product

No paying customers yet. Building in public. The product works — the benchmarks above are real — but I need real teams on real codebases to validate it beyond my own test cases.

If this sounds useful for your team, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to show you a live demo on your repo.

Do zero-LLM health metrics predict where bugs land? Ran it across 21 repos, here's what held up

Most "AI reviews your PR" tools annoy me. They hallucinate nits, the output changes every run, and you can't tell if a flag means anything. So I wanted to know if you can get a useful review signal the boring way. Static metrics plus git history, without any LLM in the loop, so same input gives the same output every time.

The question I actually wanted answered: do deterministic code-health metrics predict which files get bug-fixed later?

How I set it up :

  • Score every file at a historical commit (T0).
  • Count bug-fixing commits to that file over the next 6 months.
  • Correlate the T0 score with the bug-fixes that came after. No file sees its own future.

Metrics are the usual suspects plus churn signals. McCabe complexity, deep nesting, LCOM4 cohesion, god classes, clone detection, function-level churn, code age, ownership spread, change entropy. 25 of them, combined into a 1-10 per file. I ran it across 21 OSS repos, 9 languages.

What came out:

  • Mean ROC AUC 0.74 at picking the files that go on to get bug-fixes. Up to 0.90 on some repos, weaker on others.
  • It survives controlling for file size (partial Spearman -0.16). So it's not just "big files have more bugs," which was my first worry.
  • Out-ranks churn alone by about +0.10 AUC, and prior-defect history by +0.12.
  • Held on an external dataset I never touched (PROMISE/jEdit), AUC ~0.77.

I ran it head to head against CodeScene too, same 2,770 files, same commit, same labels, since it's the closest established tool. Discrimination was close (0.73 vs 0.71). The gap showed up on effort-aware ranking. Under a "you only have time to review 20% of the changed lines" budget, the deterministic score surfaced more of the real defects (recall 0.17 vs 0.07, Popt 0.61 vs 0.46). Similar at telling risky from safe, better at ordering what to look at first.

Where it falls down, because 0.74 is not magic:

  • It tells you where bugs cluster, not what the bug is.
  • Ranks files, doesn't read them so not a review replacement.
  • Defect labels come from bug-fix commits, which is a noisy heuristic. Some "fixes" aren't, some bugs never got a clean fix commit. That ceiling is baked in.
  • The 6-month window is a choice. Move it and the numbers move.
  • The CodeScene edge is specifically ranking under a budget. On raw "is this file risky, yes or no," they're close.

Where I landed: the signal is real and it's reproducible, which is the part I care about for PR gating but it won't catch a logic bug in a 4-line diff.

It's good at "this PR touches a file that's been a problem for a year with one owner, slow down." Different job than line-by-line review, and I think it's the job the deterministic approach is actually good at.

I have also added agent provenance to the same which allows it to determine if an AI PR is worse than human

If anyone wants to take a look at the repo: https://github.com/repowise-dev/repowise

Also, if you have any feedback on the metrics itself or if I can try some new metric, would love to try that

After 3 years as a solo founder, a massive LLM "vibe coding" mess broke my application. So I open sourced an alternate tool unvibecode

Disclaimer: I am the author of this tool. It runs locally, is completely free, and is licensed under Apache 2.0.

Hey everyone,

3 years ago, I heavily leveraged Claude and Cursor to "vibe code" an early prototype. It got us from 0 to 1 rapidly, got paid users, but it left behind a massive architectural bottleneck: a ballooning codebase of 500 scattered files filled with disjointed logic.

When edge cases broke production, dumping 500 line functions back into Cursor failed. Existing tools only lint or summarize single files. they don't map business workflows

Out of my own necessity, I spent the last 3 months building open source local python package UnvibeCode

how to use unvibecode:

pip install unvibecode
python -m unvibecode review --repository "/path/to/repository"

4 Practical Outputs it Gives You:

  1. Interactive Connected Code Map: A local, interactive graph showing connected codes across different files so that you can understand the code
  2. LLM-Ready Context JSON: Automatically packages the connected, relevant code chunks for debugging so you can give LLM the right context
  3. Business Workflow Reconstruction: Reconstructs workflows hidden in complex (e.g., tracking a payment across routes).
  4. Business Risk Findings: Scans the workflows to flag structural business risks like duplicate payment loops, authorization edge cases, or broken failure paths.

I am looking for blunt technical feedback from the community:

  1. If you run pip install unvibecode on an unfamiliar or complex codebase, does the interactive graph layout generate a readable system architecture?
  2. Am I approaching this the right way, or is trying to map 1,000s of business workflow scenarios from AI slop a losing battle?

Repo: https://github.com/FinanceFlash/unvibecode

PS: (GIF of the tool in action posted in the comments below!) Please tear the logic and schema design apart, share your thoughts to help me fix things in the repo

I've been building a SQL learning platform for the past few months. It's called QueryCase and I'd love honest feedback

I've spent the last few months building something and I'm finally at the point where I want to share it properly rather than just quietly hoping people find it.

The idea came from a frustration I kept seeing (and feeling myself): SQL tutorials teach the syntax fine but there's never a reason to care about the answer. You filter a table called employees, get a result, and nothing happens. Your brain doesn't bother keeping it.

I wanted to try a different approach. QueryCase teaches SQL through detective investigations. You get a briefing from Chief Fox (our mascot), a real database to query, and a mystery to crack. The JOIN matters when a suspect has an alibi. The WHERE clause matters when you're trying to find who entered the building at 22:13. The SQL is the tool for solving something, not the point in itself.

Here's what's actually in it:

  • A structured learning path across 54 cases, going from Recruit through Rookie, Detective, Senior Detective, and Chief Detective. Each rank has drills and a level exam to pass before you progress.
  • Sandbox mode where you can explore real datasets (IMDB movies, Spotify, sports stats, Steam games) and run whatever you want with no pressure and no mystery attached. Just free exploration against actual data.
  • Everything runs in the browser using DuckDB WASM so there's nothing to install.

I'm a solo developer and this is genuinely early days. I'm sharing here because this community is exactly the kind of people I built it for, and I'd rather get honest feedback now than find out later I've built the wrong thing.

What's missing? What would make you actually stick with something like this versus what you've used before?

querycase.com if you want to take a look.

Any feedback appreciated!

A week ago I posted here asking "what's next" for bribes.fyi. Here's what happened after.

A few weeks ago, I posted here, honestly, kind of stuck. bribes.fyi had traction, real reports, a Hacker News spike that broke my hosting plan, but I had no idea what came next.

I didn't expect much beyond good discussion. That's usually how these posts go.

But someone read it. And a little while later, we connected properly, not a quick DM, an actual conversation. We talked for a while, about how I even got into this, why I built it in the first place, what problem I was actually trying to solve, and what it felt like doing it mostly alone on the side.

By the end of it, he said something I didn't expect: that this was a genuinely good initiative, and that he wanted to fund it, to keep it running and alive. He's also connecting me with other people who care about the same kind of thing.

Honestly, I'd started feeling like this was heading somewhere real even before that conversation. But this made the feeling a lot more concrete than it's ever been.

I'm still one person running the day-to-day of this. That part hasn't changed. But a lot of what got shown and talked about in that conversation came directly from feedback in this community, the normalisation questions, the anonymity architecture debates, all of it. So it felt right to come back and share this here before anywhere else.

I built Pariyojana: A zero-telemetry, 256-bit SQLCipher encrypted productivity vault for Android (BYOK AI, TEE KeyStore, Anti-Forensic RAM Zeroing)

Hey everyone,

Cloud-based productivity apps have normalized scanning our private notes and locking access behind recurring paywalls.

To solve this for myself and the privacy community,

I built **Pariyojana** — an open-source, local-first Android workspace engineered with a zero-trust threat model.

### 🛡️ Security & Privacy Architecture:

  1. **Zero Cloud Sync:** No accounts, no background tracking, no servers. All data lives strictly in a local SQLite database encrypted with **256-bit SQLCipher AES-CBC (64,000 PBKDF2 iterations)**.

  2. **Android KeyStore TEE Hardware Sealed:** The master key is derived inside your device's hardware enclave.

  3. **Anti-Forensics RAM Zeroing:** Decrypted API keys and sensitive tokens are actively overwritten with zeroes (`0x00`) in volatile RAM on app background/lock to defeat memory dumps.

  4. **DRM FLAG_SECURE:** Blocks screenshot capture and OS task switcher previews.

  5. **BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) Direct AI:** AI queries (via OpenRouter/DeepSeek/OpenAI) route directly from your phone to the endpoint via HTTPS. Zero intermediary logging proxy.

It combines an Idea Vault, a 6-stage Kanban board, an academic paper research hub, and a job tracker into one unified offline app.

* **License:** MIT

* **Cost:** 100% Free ($0 Lifetime)

📦 **Source Code & Audit:**

I’m tired of clunky invoicing software, so I am building a lightweight GST generator for Indian freelancers. Would anyone actually use this?

Here is why I'm building it:
- Most global billing tools (like QuickBooks or Stripe invoicing) don't handle local Indian GST rules cleanly or are too expensive.
- Indian tools feel like bloated ERP systems meant for huge accounting firms, not a solo freelancer or developer.
- I wanted something where I enter an amount, it auto-calculates CGST/SGST/IGST, creates a PDF, and appends a dynamic UPI QR code/link to get paid in 1-click.

As a frontend dev, I focused heavily on making it fast and minimalist. Before I spend weeks writing a heavier backend for it, I wanted to stress-test the idea here. 

Would this solve a real headache for you? What features would make you instantly switch from your current invoicing setup (Excel, Notion, or paid software)?

Android's USB MTP always crashes when I try to scan my media folders. So I built an open-source C++/Rust storage analyzer that maps 10,000+ files instantly.

If you've ever tried to figure out what is eating up your Android's storage before doing a massive data dump, you know the pain. Trying to view a /DCIM folder with 10,000+ files over a standard USB cable usually makes Windows Explorer or macOS Finder infinitely load, freeze, or crash because MTP is fundamentally broken for high file counts.

I got tired of waiting 4+ minutes just to see my folder sizes, so I built an open-source analyzer called SocketSweep that bypasses MTP entirely.

How it works (The Architecture): Instead of using standard USB bulk transfers to read the filesystem, it uses a multi-language stack to pull the file tree at bare-metal speeds:

  • The Engine: It pushes a native C++17 daemon to /data/local/tmp via ADB. Because it runs under the shell context, it executes POSIX filesystem traversals natively on the device. (Zero root required).
  • The Bridge: It pipes the raw JSON tree data back to your PC over a local TCP socket tunnel, bridged via adb forward.
  • The UI: A Rust/Tauri desktop app consumes the TCP stream concurrently and maps your entire storage into an interactive React Treemap.

The result: You can visually hunt down your biggest folders and delete the junk instantly. A 4-minute MTP "Loading..." hang becomes a 1.2-second instant scan.

Right now, the first release is compiled for macOS (Windows/Linux builds via GitHub actions are next, but you can build from source). It is GPL-3.0.

(Note: For Android 11+, the app automatically uses an appops ADB command to grant itself Scoped Storage bypass permissions so it can read your full /sdcard without issues).

Let me know what you guys think of the architecture!
