You should have asked the bank to do a chargeback of the transactions.

Yeah, I’m happy I gave up, it’s just not possible to compete and the constant stress to try to keep up is not worth it.

(I built https://nelly.is as a solo founder without funding)

I have two of his original drawings/paintings here at home on my wall. I live in Lund, which he also did for a while, so it’s pretty common to find them in art stores and auctions for pretty cheap.

That’s also what I want to do. I currently have my office/lab at home and waiting for deliveries to come is very stressful as I basically have to be ready to answer the door at any time, which can be many hours.

Same, except for when I’m expecting a delivery, then I tend to answer calls from unknown numbers.

Just sounds like an actual grownup to me.

When enabled, they provide helpful tools such as chat assistance, summaries, up-to-date web insights, and more.

I find this sentence to be a little odd. Who are “they”?

What is the live demo supposed to do? I just get stuck in an endless redirect loop with a counter going from 1 to 18 and then restarting. I’m using Safari on iOS.

Then here is someone writing an entire functional Teams client with Claude.

According to the README it’s just a wrapper of the web version, with some additional stuff on top.

Looks cool! Does it work outdoors too? And can it be battery-powered?

I’m using DeepSeek V3 to do automated crypto news analysis and my last accuracy report [1] showed a 98.5% accuracy so I find the results of this article very surprising.

So what does work?

I would add hardware products to that list. While they also have become somewhat easier and cheaper to create, the threshold is still much higher than for software and SaaS products.

This. I got more spam than actual users when I launched on Product Hunt. Pretty sure majority of people on PH are just there to promote their own services and products.

Looks like he renamed it to "4 Counts | Wrist Tempo", but the screenshots are still using "Lagree Buddy".

I’ve been thinking about this as well. Instead of making websites, maybe people will make something else, like some future version of MCP tools/servers? E.g. a restaurant could have an “MCP tool” for checking opening hours, reserving a table, etc.

True, that happens far too often.

Been down for ~50 minutes now and there's no information other than the automated notice on their status page.

Well, at least this one made it to the front page!

From the footer:

“Instantly create your dream vacation with Duebase AI, where AI-driven precision meets personal preferences. Tailor-made travel plans crafted just for you, effortlessly.”

Did you pivot?

Would love to see how Nelly [0] performs on this benchmark.

I’m working on Nelly, a no-code AI agent platform for building, using and (soon) sharing AI assistants.

It’s currently in beta for macOS but I’m waiting for Anthropic to extend my rate-limits before I announce it here on HN.

I understand your concern, but it is very hard nowadays to find a totally unique name that's any good. I did a lot of research on many different names before settling with "Pine". "Pine" was not used by any competing payments or cryptocurrency apps and didn't yield any well-known products or services at the time when I searched for it. However, there are a hand full of apps using the name "Pine" on the App Store, and there's also the Pine64 project and so on. Googling "Pine" now will bring up a new game on kickstarter. But none has made "Pine" into a big trademark yet.

And after all, "pine" has always been the name of a tree.

Hey!

Today I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve finally released Pine on the App Store! I’ve been working on Pine for almost two years and it’s been in alpha and then beta for the past year. Pine is a bitcoin app for sending and receiving money among your friends and family. It looks like a messaging app but instead of sending messages you are sending bitcoin.

Please give it a try and tell me what you think - I'm excited to hear your thoughts

* Familiar design

Pine’s messenger-like design makes it instantly familiar to use for anyone who has used a messaging app such as WhatsApp or Messenger.

* Easy-to-use addresses

Add your friends using their Pine addresses, which are similar to email addresses. Get a pine.pm address or host your own Pine server with your own domain.

* Natively global

Bitcoin does not have any borders. Transact freely with anyone anywhere in the world – they don't even need to have Pine, as long as it's bitcoin.

* Full control and ownership

Your keys, your bitcoin. Only you are in control of your funds stored with Pine.

* Decentralized and open

Just like bitcoin, Pine is designed to be open and decentralized. The app and server software are open-source and you can host your own Pine server with your own domain if you prefer.

* Protected using your biometrics

By signing transactions with Touch/Face ID, you are the only one who can spend your funds. This prevents unauthorized payments if your phone would end up in the wrong hands.

* Recovery

A recovery key is used to generate your account. By safely storing this key you can recover your account in case you would lose or break your phone. By default, the recovery key is stored in your iCloud account.

* Connect your own bitcoin node

You can run your own bitcoin node so you can broadcast and validate transactions without having to trust anyone. Running your own node can also improve your privacy by not revealing what transactions you are interested in.

️* Lightning support (soon)

Pine will soon get non-custodial lightning support without the need of running your own lightning node.

And H&M, Minecraft, Battlefield, MySQL, Candy Crush, Absolut Vodka, The Pirate Bay, Husqvarna, the pacemaker, the three-point seatbelt, the zipper, and much more...

(And a lot of music, of course.)

Each pixel represents a block, where each column is 300 blocks. The orange visualizes the number of unspent transaction outputs per block, and the blue visualizes the amount of unspent BTC per block.

How I made it:

1. Precalculated all block heights to snapshot the UTXO stats at (every 1008 blocks) 2. Downloaded the whole blockchain using the Bitcoin Core client 3. Wrote a script that invalidates all blocks to X using the Bitcoin Core’s RPC 4. Saved a snapshot of the UTXO set using the same method as for utxo-stats.com (see source code below) 5. Saved price with each snapshot (from a csv file downloaded from coindesk.com) 6. Repeated step 3 - 5 by invalidating the next 1008 blocks 7. Copied the source code for utxo-stats.com modified it to load these snapshots one by one 8. Recorded the screen using QuickTime 9. Imported the movie into iMovie and sped it up

Modified version of the Bitcoin Core client: https://github.com/blockfirm/bitcoin

This is a website I created just for fun to visualize the distribution of the unspent transaction outputs (UTXO) in the Bitcoin blockchain.

Each pixel in the images represents one block. So the first pixel (counted left to right from the top) is the genesis/first block. If you hover over that pixel in the first image (orange), you'll see that it has a block height of 1, and 1 unspent transaction output in it. If you hover over the same pixel in the other image (blue), you will see that it has a combined value of 50 BTC.

So by looking at these two images, you can see how the UTXOs ("coins") are distributed over the whole blockchain. You can also see where most of the value is stored with the blue image.

Naturally, a lot of the "coins" and its value are concentrated at the end of the blockchain. But it's also possible to see that there's a lot of unspent coins in the blocks of early 2013. The same applies to the blocks in mid 2015.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

I'm kind of doing the same but instead I write my analysis and notes in the pull request that fixes the bug. I think it's a great way for others to learn too :)

Send us an email at hello@gitmagic.io and we will try to answer your questions :)

Thanks, that sounds really cool and would definitely be something we will look into pretty soon :)
