Show HN: Free AI resume tailor I built after a recent layoff (300+ users so far)

Hey HN,I’m a Staff Software Engineer, and just recently, on February 24, 2026, I was laid off along with 200+ coworkers. To survive the brutal job market, I hacked together a tool to automate my own applications: jobbi.app.It just crossed 300+ users organically, so I wanted to share it here.How it works:You upload a big “master resume” (3–10+ pages with every job, duty, side project, and tech stack).You paste a target job description.Jobbi uses AI to pull out what’s relevant and generates a targ

Show HN: Ratschn – A local Mac dictation app built with Rust, Tauri and CoreML

Hi HN, I'm the solo developer behind Ratschn.I type a lot and got extremely frustrated with the current state of Mac dictation tools. Most of them are either heavy Electron wrappers, rely on cloud APIs (a privacy nightmare), or force you into a SaaS subscription for a tool that essentially runs on your own hardware. I wanted something that feels native, respects system resources, and runs entirely offline without forced subscriptions.The stack is Rust, Tauri, and whisper.cpp. Here are the d

Show HN: I built an analytics engine for my OpenClaw usage

Hi HN,I was using OpenClaw constantly for a month but had zero idea about what was I actually doing with it. So I dug through my conversation history manually. Apparently, I'd brainstormed 7 startup ideas in 3 weeks, asked about learning Rust and Zig in the same week (still writing Python) and had 9 conversations about how to start consistent gymmingI wanted to see it everytime, so I built a Clawhub skill for this. It extracts sentiments from the sessions, helps you filter conversations of

Show HN: OpenKIWI (Knowledge Integration and Workflow Intelligence)

I've always been passionate about AI and automation so when I first heard about OpenClaw I got excited. But as a professional software developer for almost 20 years, and who currently leads a DevOps team I found the experience extremely frustrating: constant gateway restarts and "NO_REPLY" responses from my agents when I would simply ask "Are you there?".So after using it for a bit the TLDR is that while I think OpenClaw and all the other AI driven automation tools like

Show HN: EZorro – Describe your trading strategy, and turn it into an algo

Hey HN! I'm Garrett, creator of eZorro.The problem: I had trading ideas but couldn't code them. I'd think "buy Apple when it drops 5% below its 20-day moving average" and then spend hours trying to wire up broker APIs, backtest logic, and execution — or just never do it at all. Sure, I can get a plug-in or prompts from somewhere for AI, but if it’s not designed by actual industry specialists, I can’t trust it.The solution: eZorro, built by those who actually built the to

Show HN: Epupp – Live, REPL-driven, browser tampering

Epupp has two modes of operation:1. *Live REPL connection from your editor to the web page*, letting you inspect and modify the page on the fly, with or without the assistance of an AI agent.2. *Userscripts*: Somewhat Tampermonkey style (I love Tampermonkey!).The two form a powerful pair. The live REPL connection, while happily supporting one-off changes or data extractions, is also a very efficient and fun means to interactively develop userscripts. The buzzword here is Interactive Programming

Startup Failure Often Starts with a Bad Idea. This Helps Prevent That

A lot of startup advice focuses on execution, but in my experience many failures actually start earlier, with the idea itself. Founders often fall in love with something that sounds clever but doesn’t map to a real, repeated problem.The hard part isn’t building the product, it’s choosing what’s worth building in the first place. While searching on Google recently, I came across something called StartupIdeasDB, which is basically a curated database of a couple thousand startup ideas gathered from
