Show HN: Routing24 – Free route optimization in the browser

Hi HN!<p>I built Routing24 to make route optimization easier and accessible for small businesses and solo drivers.<p>With Google Maps, you can plan routes between a few locations for free, but it doesn’t support efficient multi-stop planning, handling multiple vehicles, or adding specific business rules like delivery time windows.<p>Many tools offer route optimization for around $30 per vehicle per month, but Routing24 provides it completely free. Optimization happens fully on the client-side, using your device’s resources instead of cloud servers.<p>The interface is simple for now: you can import/export using Excel, and there’s a web UI to edit and view imported data and optimized routes. Data is saved or uploaded anywhere, and one browser tab runs one optimization. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap, and the solver is built in C++/WASM, using public domain algorithms.<p>I’d love to hear any feedback as I keep developing it. Thanks, and I hope it’s useful!

Show HN: LlamaPReview – AI GitHub PR reviewer that learns your codebase

I built LlamaPReview to solve a common frustration: most AI code reviewers either require complex setup or don't truly understand project context.<p>Key differentiators:<p>1. One-click installation through GitHub Marketplace - no configuration needed 2. Analyzes your entire codebase first to understand: - Project structure - Coding patterns - Naming conventions - Architecture decisions 3. Completely free with no usage limits 4. Fully automated PR reviews with zero human intervention required<p>Technical implementation: - Built on top of llama-github (my open source project) - Focuses on deep code understanding rather than superficial linting - Provides context-aware suggestions with explanations<p>The goal is to handle routine reviews automatically so developers can focus on complex architectural decisions. Currently in production and processing real PRs.<p>Try it for free: <a href="https://github.com/marketplace/llamapreview/">https://github.com/marketplace/llamapreview/</a><p>Looking for feedback from the HN community, especially on: - What features would make this more useful for your workflow? - How do you currently handle code review automation? - What aspects of code understanding matter most to you?

Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework

Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we've been working for the past six months. It's a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it's better to launch a bit before you think you're ready.<p>It's a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++ publishers/subscribers directly, you declare the topics and types your code cares about in a configuration file, along with conditions on those inputs. Doing this allows for deep knowledge about the code running, which unlocks the possibility of deterministic simulation and testing (along with making it easy to generate bindings for other languages, create alternate schedulers, more easily swap out internal concepts, etc). It also enables easy static analysis of the codebase - given a launch file and arguments to the launch file, one can analyze the topic network and find missing publishers or publishers that publish to nothing.

Show HN: Kasama – an IntelliJ plugin to keep track of your coding practices

Hi HN,<p>I want to share with you an IntelliJ plugin I have developed and launched.<p>Based on my own needs, I wanted a plugin that monitors my coding practices and gives me stats about them in order for me to improve on them.<p>So, here is Kasama: An IDE plugin that works like a sport fitness tracker, gathering data on:<p>- your coding sessions, i.e. how long are you active in the IDE and for which project<p>- your activity in different modules, and how the activity is split between test code and prod code<p>- your version control (git) interactions: how often you commit, the lifespan your branches, and the types of branches you work on over time (feature, bugfix, etc.)<p>- your testing interaction: how often are you running tests, how often are they failing, how large are they<p>- the refactoring interactions: which tool-driven refactorings you use<p>- the build tasks you are running, and in which you spend the most time in<p>The plugin runs locally and provides graph visualization for the different stats.<p>It can be directly installed from the JetBrains marketplace - it works with IntelliJ IDEA as well as with other JetBrains IDEs: <a href="https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/24683-kasama" rel="nofollow">https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/24683-kasama</a><p>You can find more documentation here: <a href="https://spark-teams.github.io/kasama-intellij-support/" rel="nofollow">https://spark-teams.github.io/kasama-intellij-support/</a><p>Coming soon, it will show even more stats, including records and achievements. I’m also exploring additional data to collect, such as the proportion of AI generated code compared to manually written code.<p>I’d love your feedback and questions!

Show HN: I built an app to use a QR code as my doorbell

I didn’t have a doorbell before (multiple reasons) and my house feels unwelcoming without one. So I built a doorbell app that uses a QR code - visitors scan the QR code to ring the doorbell and I get notified on my phone.<p>Here is an example of the QR code I have on my door. You can scan it and say hello: <a href="https://www.thebacklog.net/img/2024/10/show-hn.png" rel="nofollow">https://www.thebacklog.net/img/2024/10/show-hn.png</a><p>This was also a great excuse to build my first app for Android and iPhone.<p>I’d love to get some feedback before I spend more time polishing the app. Please try it out and feel free to ask me any questions!
