Show HN: I'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool
Hi,
I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers.<p>I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback.<p>I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think.<p>Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too.<p><a href="https://www.slidehero.ai/" rel="nofollow">https://www.slidehero.ai/</a><p>You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;)<p>Cheers, Eli
Show HN: My iOS app to practice sight reading (10 years in the App Store)
Hello HN, this has been my personal project for quite some time now. It has been a slowly evolving project over the years and its core function is for users to expose themselves to progressively more difficult lessons of music notes.<p>NOTE: It is free and there are no ads. There is an in app purchase but most of the app doesn't require it.

Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one
LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void.<p>Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech.<p>But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that?<p>So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities.<p>We’ve already onboarded a few companies, so recruiters can reach out to you directly. But you can also connect with other standout folks and supercharge your network.<p>Just upload your resume and we´ll automatically generate your profile in under 1 minute.<p>It’s early, but feels like something people actually need.
Would love your thoughts.

Show HN: I built a website for sharing drum patterns
Originally started as a project to restore patterns from now defunct website 808.pixll.de just for myself, but eventually i decided to share it with others. I've seen this website mentioned a couple of times on HN:)<p>Currently it only supports Roland TR-808, but there will be more.

Show HN: Learn where countries are on the world map with Spaced Repetition
Hi HN,<p>I made a web game to practice country locations a while ago and HN liked it, so I thought I'd post my updated version as well.<p>As for how the game works and feels, I'd really recommend you checking it out for yourself, it's free, no signup, no ads.<p>The tech stack is Vue + ts + Tailwind/Daisy for the looks. The learning algorithm is a slight modification of the ts version of FSRS.<p>If you have anything to add, it's open source as well (<a href="https://github.com/koljapluemer/learn-worldmap" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/koljapluemer/learn-worldmap</a>), although not well documented yet.<p>In the end it's just a little sideproject, but I hope you enjoy it — any feedback welcome :)
Show HN: I made a live multiplayer Minesweeper game
Hi everyone! For several months now I've been stuck on the idea of a Minesweeper game that isn't just single player.
This is what I came up with:<p>• Live games allowing several people to play at the same time<p>• Scoring system rewarding correct moves<p>• Grid size, mines count, and players count set to make games as balanced as possible
Show HN: "Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming
I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this.<p>It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options.<p>If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!
Show HN: I made a tool to port tweets to Bluesky mantaining their original date
Bluesky allows to backdate their posts with their API, so I made this tool to copy your twitter (X) profile to Bluesky keeping the backdated dates of your tweets, showing as if they were posted back then
Show HN: Cascii – A portable ASCII diagram builder written in vanilla JavaScript
3 months ago I wanted to draw an ASCII diagram to include in some documentation at work. I found the few tools online to be insufficient, and was suprised there wasn't a more complete tool to get the job done.<p>Since, I've built Cascii from scratch in vanilla Javascript (I'm not an FE dev, it might be obvious...).<p>I hope it works alright. Please check out the live version at <a href="https://cascii.app" rel="nofollow">https://cascii.app</a>, report problems, make diagrams to improve your code's documentation. Hope you enjoy using it.
