Show HN: Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones

Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time.<p>I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day.<p>Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful if you work remotely or have friends and colleagues in different time zones. At a single glance, see where they are in their days and energy levels!<p>I hope you'll give the Pole Clock a try and find that it helps you better understand and manage your sense of time.

Show HN: Distilhn.com – Front-Page Articles Summarized with Machine Learning

Hey HN, I've built a little website to show news articles with a summary so that I don't have to RTFA if I just want a rough sense of what it covers :) I also share the summaries in an RSS feed for those who'd prefer to use their own reader. Let me know what you think!

Show HN: RSS Brain

I wrote an RSS reader called RSS Brain recently. The motivate is the current RSS readers either don't sort articles by priority, which makes it hard to read posts from HackerNews and Reddit, or sort it with some "smart" algorithm which I don't trust. I also like the Google News feature that can show related story from different source, but the sources are not configurable and the algorithm is not transparent either. So with RSS Brain, I implemented these features:<p>* Recommend related articles from the feeds of your choice. It's backed by ElasticSearch and the algorithm is described on RSS Brain's website.<p>* Option to sort articles by upvotes and time. The algorithm is similar to the old Reddit and you can find it on the website as well.<p>* Save search terms into folders so you can filter the articles.<p>I've been using it for a while and found these features very helpful. So I want to share this on HackerNews. The frontend is written in Flutter so it has cross platform clients, even though the web version don't feel very "web native" because the level of Flutter web support. I guess only time can improve that.<p>I don't have enough hardware to scale it up so it's currently in subscription mode to limit the users. I'm going to open source the code (maybe non-commercial license) once I think it's ready so you can host it by yourself. It's still in early stage and haven't been tested by a lot of people. So any feedback is helpful. Thanks!<p>Update: Added a scroll down hint in the landing page. Thanks for the feedback.

Show HN: Pressn't – a site where you can only have a single post

Today's internet is filled with dopamine wells of content. I wanted to steer away from that and foster meaningful writing. So I made a site where you can only have a single post. The intention is to encourage thoughtful posts like the blogs we all love here at HN (Paul Graham's, fasterthanlime, Bartosz Ciechanowski's, etc).<p>For now posts are only markdown, but I intend to make some markdown extensions to make posts more dynamic.

Show HN: I built haystack – Google for workplace knowledge

tl;dr: haystack is a workplace search engine for devs that runs in the browser.<p>Hi Yuval here! historicly a security researcher, more recently entered the NLP space!<p>Iv'e started working on haystack recently because I feel modern workplaces are in dire need of a good workplace search product that is free to use just like google.<p>Information is scattered between too many communication channels and platforms, we communicate with our peers through slack and email, share docs and specs on confluence, work with tickets on jira, commit code and have discussions on github, not to mention all the .docx, .ppt and .pdf that fly around the organization.<p>Existing search featuers plain suck, if you tried using confluence search you know what I mean, keyword search is terrible. Even when you find relevant looking results, they require you to commit to entering the page, and scroll through to get to the relevant paragraph.<p><i>What does haystack do?</i><p><pre><code> - Enable you to search all your workplace applications from one place. (slack, confluence, notion, jira, github, outlook, gmail, etc...). - Natural language queries ("How to do X”, "Do we support Y", "How do I connect to Z"). - No download, all the magic happens in the browser. - Local browser storage option. - Code references embedded in search results. </code></pre> Example, "How to connect to integ2 machine" on haystack could give you: "I've finished setting up the <i>second integration server</i> ... ssh connection details"<p><pre><code> ssh -i private.pem ubuntu@ec2-integration2.eu-west-1.compute.amazonwes.com </code></pre> aggregated from a slack communication you had a while ago.<p><i>Next Steps</i><p>Fine-tuning haystack for lower-end laptops with no dedicated GPU, public release date - Feb/March 23.<p>If you would like to get early access + you have dedicated graphics, there's a button in our landing page, and my email address.<p>I'll be here in the comment section!
