Show HN: SingleAPI – Convert the Internet into your own API
Hi! I created a universal data API that uses headless browsers and GPT to extract any data from the web in JSON format. I started this project because I needed some API to do data enrichment to get company data (headcount, investment rounds, etc.). Once I did the first version, I quickly realized that there can be many use cases for such a tool: data enrichment, web scraping, data validation, etc.<p>Thanks!

Show HN: Standalone Jdk.compiler, Java Compiler Framework and Tree API
With this standalone compiler, you can rely on all Java 11 javac features to be available, even when using newer Java versions. Specifically, this allows you to:<p>- compile code even if your Java environment isn't a full JDK (Java JRE, for example!)<p>- target Java 1.7 for compilation without any warnings or restrictions.<p>- use the Compiler Tree API without resorting to --add-opens trickery that may eventually fail in newer Java releases<p>- build a modified compiler with additional features or custom tweaks<p>I made this after finding that the otherwise superb "jsweet" Java-to-JavaScript transpiler failed to build and run with Java 16 or newer. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any prior work other than "proper" standalone compilers like Eclipse's ecj that would properly work with modern Java runtimes.<p>I'm excited to see what can be done now that we have this scaffolding.
Building an app to learn languages with short stories
Hi HN! I wrote a post about the things I have been working on for Webbu, an app to learn languages via short stories. Initially, a few HN readers tried the app, so I wanted to share some more details of what I'm doing and would love to hear any feedback you have.
Show HN: I learned to code and built a crypto analytics platform
Hey everyone!<p>I am an enthusiast trader and a year ago I had this idea to create a free-to-use website that would feature all the most essential tools that traders would use on a daily basis.<p>So I learned to code and build it—I did everything including design, texts, code, and SEO—which took me 12 months to launch and a year and a half to make it look like it currently does.<p>I was into marketing and design before, but I didn't know barely anything about coding. The website is built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Typescript with Framer Motion animations and lots of APIs.<p>I’m actively working on the project and in the following months I will release a huge update that will feature a renewed interface and access to real time on chain data and analytics.<p>Feel free to ask any questions and thanks a lot for reading this, it means a lot to me. Any feedback and your opinions would be highly appreciated.

Show HN: CheckAnyPlate – Free License Plate to VIN Decoder
This started as a project to scratch my own itch and has grown from there.<p>Initially I wanted a way to easily see if potential funny license plates were available in a given state, but I've also started using it at car shows when I'm curious which engine or transmission is in a car.<p>It most cases the plate can be matched to a VIN using DMV data, and then some information about the vehicle can be decoded into basic car specs<p>You can also purchase a full vehicle history report which uses data from the NMVTIS and other services to show accident history, previous titles, and salvage issues.<p>The site is built using the Laravel framework and connects to a bunch of APIs like the DOT and NHTSA for Safety and recall information.<p>This is my first time running Laravel on AWS Lambda so let me know how the site feels to you
