Show HN: Aspyriz – Build your MVP in seconds with AI (no-code founder platform)
by kunalphogat | 2025-08-06 17:06:14+00:00
Hey HN

I’m Kunal, co-founder of Aspyriz. We just launched an AI-powered platform that helps founders go from idea to MVP in seconds — without writing code or managing multiple tools.

Key features: - Sili Sense: Validate ideas, generate names & positioning - Sili Sandbox: Build full-stack MVPs with live preview in under 30 seconds - Sili Canvas: Auto-generate landing pages, UI, decks, avatars & images - AspyrCheck: Startup health scanner to identify early-stage blind spots - Built-in voice/video chat and a private founder community

Every output is fully customized to the user's startup — no generic templates, no copy-paste fluff.

Would love your thoughts, feedback, and ideas on how we can improve!

Yes, Jira is powerful, flexible and allows tons of stuff to be done. It can really store tons of data, accept workflows, etc.

But that thing is slow as a snail. Even if it's an on-prem installation. I want nimble tools.

I know it's a very unpopular opinion, but I'll take a fast Redmine over a slow Jira all day, every day.

P.S.: Another slow tool like this is OpenStack. Every CLI command, every web UI click means a ping-pong of 20 REST requests. At least, when it works, it works, which is 100% of the time if it's configured correctly.

Only in the US, where Apple has an AOL-like lock-in. The market share for iOS in Canada is similarly large but there is no iMessage lock-in here as Canada had Blackberry Messenger (also a lock-in app) way before iMessage, and shifted to FB Messenger and Whatsapp once BBM faded. Nowadays most people have both apps installed, and what you use depends on where the group chat was started.

It seems like you really missed the point. Of course there are reasons we still get cancer, just like there are reasons people get fat. Evolutionarily people are way more likely to die of being under nourished than over, so the body packs on fat when it can. Evolution did not optimize for 2025

> Some people probably do come at it from the moral angle. But there are good reasons to assume that this time isn't different, that there is indeed no free lunch.

I'm struggling to understand what these sentences even mean. A medication may have side effects? Like every single medication we take? Yeah, of course it might. We don't have threads clutching their pearls about most medicines though. Tylenol can easily kill you if abused, but we don't have threads talking about how there's "no free lunch" for people using Tylenol responsibly.

> Thankfully, everyone is free to make that risk assessment themselves. Just don't start trying to force it on anyone.

Who is saying anything about forcing something on you? Is someone trying to force you to take Ozempic?

I stand by what I said. Apple used to be the leading smartphone manufacturer in China, now they aren't even in the top 5. Sometimes things change, and I doubt China's in shambles because Airdrop isn't ubiquitous. I see no reason why Japan would be different.

The notion that American tech companies are invincible is really only a view held by Americans. The overwhelming majority of people I speak to internationally don't care that much about computer brand loyalty.

I don't think it's shocking at all. It's a fuckup, so what? All of the conspiracy theories and online discourse around this just show how stupid most conspiracy theories are and how braindead so much online discourse has become.

Just look at the Reddit thread on this, which currently has nearly 50k votes, and one of the top comments is "Treasonous", https://old.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1mj3ttx/constitution_o.... Like I wholeheartedly believe that the current administration may want to (and, IMO, already has) subvert large parts of the Constitution, but deleting a few paragraphs from the Library of Congress' online version of the Constitution is not how they're going to go about it. What, do people not think there are, I don't know, a couple million copies of the Constitution out and about? Do they think some judge is just going to open the Library of Congress website and go "Oh well, I know that part was there yesterday, but it's gone now so I guess we can't have a navy anymore."

It's all just so dumb.

Maybe in the UK it is, but not necessarily in other jurisdictions. Besides - and you gotta trust me on this - down that way lies madness, and it’s honestly part of their intent (see: Streisand Effect) by libeling or slandering you.

Healthy, adult-only spaces online have been leading a “no minors” crusade for decades. We bar minors from our spaces, and promptly eject them when discovered. That said, we’re also far more familiar with any politician or puritan with the reality that kids will find a way into adults-only spaces if they really want to be there, and likely succeed because their parents are wholly absent or utterly incompetent at managing their kid’s online presence and access.

This always goes back to the parents. Every single time.
Show HN: Glyphshift – A Browser Extension to Learn Phonetic Systems
by vunderba | 2025-08-06 17:08:36+00:00
Glyphshift is a browser extension that randomly replaces words with their phonetic or symbolic equivalents based on user-selected writing systems and frequency settings.

So far it supports ASL, braille, katakana, hiragana, morse code, hexadecimal, roman numerals, rhyming slang, and most importantly vorticon. You're also welcome to submit pull requests for additional ones.

Now you too can have the world's most useless superpower, the ability to read braille VISUALLY. The demo page also has an interactive feature so you can see it in action without having to install it first.

It's also fully open-source and on the Firefox / Chrome stores.

I guarantee anything that’s already been put out is too early, and is very likely a rushed cash-grab. Which, of course that sucks.

And AI has been in games for a long time. Generated terrain and other sorts of automation have been used as techniques for a hot minute now.

All I’m suggesting is to keep on that same trajectory, now just using an on-device LLM to back intelligence features.

The problem with ZKPs, especially for age verification in the US, is that it you obviously still need some digital identity to perform the proof against. That not only doesn't exist in the US, but introduces a sensitive identity that like any other can be leaked.

The same is true for cryptocurrency of course but that risk is implicit in holding a private key to spend in the first place.

Thanks for sharing this. I was vaguely aware of this explanation – I believe I watched a Richard Feynman video where he describes this.

The funny thing is that while the standard quantum explanation for this behavior is different than the situation I described in my post, it’s somehow even less intuitive than believing that the light “knew“ where to go before it left it’s source. Instead we are supposed to assume that it checked all possible directions and instantaneously made a (“correct”) decision.

I am fully aware that my sentences above are full of anthropomorphisms and are hopelessly classical. But in my classically oriented mind, my first way of describing the situation and you’re more correct way both involve a violation of what I would consider “causality”.

> Porn is in no way "the most compelling answer".

What are you seeing people finding more compelling? There was that whole "the chemicals are turning frogs gay and now you too" or whatever it was, but that wasn't compelling. Tell that to the average Joe and he will simply wonder what kind of drugs you are on. Tell the average Joe that "increased porn consumption is diminishing partnered sexual activity" and you'll at least get, "Huh. Maybe."

> It certainly could be a factor, sure, but by no means the only one.

Case in point. But it seems you're confusing a compelling explanation with a scientific explanation. Whether or not porn is actually a factor is entirely immaterial. It might have absolutely nothing to do with it. It can still be compelling even if that is the case.

Because really basic consideration of the situation gives us the very likely explanation. The idea that Trump was sitting at his desk and randomly pissed about the bottom 1/6th of Section 1 and was like "take that off congress's website!" is basically zero.

1. It's congress's website, not the whitehouse's

2. It's clearly a sort of crappy development approach - the website uses jquery and fontawesome and adobe analytics. this isn't FAANG level engineering happening here

3. It's a website about EXPLAINING THE CONSTITUTION. What do we know people use to make summaries or explanations of things? LLMs, of course

4. What is known for randomly deleting and omitting stuff? Also LLMs!

5. Can we guess why an LLM would have deleted that part? Why yes, actually, we can: if you go to the explanation part of the site, do you know what's also missing (and was prior to this update too?). Wow, it's the bottom part of section 1! What a coincidence

The clear answer here is: someone was using an LLM to write, review, or edit content, and it deleted the bottom of section 1 because there wasn't an explanation to go along with it. It makes even more sense that this is what happening given that this section was already missing an explanation.

It's really tiring how some underpaid intern making a mistake on a website has people suggesting trump is committing a new form of treason.

As the time horizon increases, planning for the future is necessary, then prudent, then sensible, then optimistic, then aspirational, then foolish, then sheer arrogance. Claiming 25 years of support for something like SQLite is already on the farther end of the good set of those adjectives as it is. And I don't mean that as disrespect for that project; that's actually a statement of respect because for the vast majority of projects out there I'd put 25 years of support as already being at "sheer arrogance", so putting them down somewhere around "optimistic" is already high praise. Claiming they've got a 50 or 100 year plan might sound good but it wouldn't mean anything real.

What they can do is renew the promise going forward; if in 2030 they again commit to 25 years of support, that would mean something to me. Claiming they can promise to be supporting it in 2075 or something right now is just not a sensible thing to do.

Some churn is fads, but some is legitimate (e.g. "we know how to do this better now".) Every living system is bound to churn, and that's a good thing, because it means we're learning how to do things better. I'm happy to have rust and typescript, for instance, even though they represent some amount of churn for c and javascript.

I'm really glad that emacs is integrating modern tooling like LSP and tree-sitter, now Claude Code, but this approach is showing its age. I'm an emacs user of 20 years and honestly it's getting hard to configure everything these days. Claude Code before the IDE integration was actually the easiest thing to get working (since it just worked and then auto-revert-mode keeps my buffers in sync.)

I'm on a new MacOS install for $WORK trying to get lsp and ts work with a Typescript/Go repo and after some $PATH wonkiness (my default shell is not the same shell as the one that emacs launches in) got typescript-ls working but gopls is still having issues being downloaded. I haven't spent the hour or two it would probably take to figure out why the in-built downloader can't put gopls in the right place.

I'm curious what emacs users are doing these days. I'm using Zed right now and really enjoying it but it's really hard to give up 20 years of emacs and I do love how emacs can scale from small one-off config file editing to huge projects and I love how configurable it is.

Is neovim better in this space? Should I be learning how to debug elisp better to understand how the commands interact with my environment? I've been using emacs keybindings (in Dvorak at that) for so long I don't know if I'd enjoy the neovim editing experience.

Starlink isn't above government laws the same way how Youtbe, Apple, Google, Facebook and your ISP aren't. If the EU/UK/Australian governments say 'jump', these companies will say 'how high' or face criminal charges. They aren't gonna die on a hill and go to jail to protect your anonymity and privacy when the armed law enforcement show up at their offices with subpoenas. Their business and freedom is more important than your privacy.

You need to talk to push for change in your democratic government, not try to find technical workarounds around government tyranny while going on with your day as if what your government is doing is normal.

I'm sure you just linked the first google result you found, and it's not like the internet wasn't full of crappy 'quote' websites in the halcyon days of 2021, but it's incredibly depressing to click that link and get drowned in paragraphs of worthless AI blathering.

After a quick search - and ignoring Google's helpful clanker who tries to point you to the _wrong_ Orwell text - it's not hard to find a clean source:

1. No 2. For me its Amiga (most), Amstrad CPC, C64 for the amount of 8bit coding I did.

I found the Amiga easiest to write for, 68k is a nice machine dialect and the hardware was easy to use (blitter, copper). On the C64 you needed to use much more tricks to make something great (but in either case didn't use any OS, wrote a small OS/UI for my Amstrad CPC with a text UI even).

Get over yourself. Linus himself said Linux is just a hobby. It just happened to be the best because of the lack of red tape dragging development down. It got as big as it did BECAUSE it was a volunteer project with the right choice of license and remains the best DESPITE big corps pouring money all around it. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/mmmlh3/linux_has_a_i...

Yes, but Maven doesn't support reproducibility (outside of plugins that basically haul in a lockfile). So his whole point is moot (Gradle now does, as an aside: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_locking...)

Again - I don't think the author is aware enough of the problem space to be making the sort of claim that he is. He doesn't understand the problem lockfiles are solving, so he doesn't know why they exist and wants them gone... chesterton's fence in action.

---

Directly declaring deps is great. It's so great that we'd like to do it for every dependency in many (arguably most) cases. But doing that really sort of sucks when you start getting into even low 10s of deps. Enter... lockfiles and the tooling to auto-resolve them.

I've been a web application developer for nearly 30 years now. I care about the craft and discipline immensely. Then you pull up something like the Jack-In-The-Box menu site and fully realize that managers/executives don't give a damn if the stuff works well... 48MB of built JS?!? My daughter expressed how badly the site was working on her phone, and I got curious.

What's funny, is some will say, "use the app" instead for things like this... why should I trust someone to build a safe/secure app, who cannot build a reasonably functional website?

Yes, but I don't see it as problematic. When I'm in flow, I don't need the AI. I'm working on something I grok and I can see through from start to finish. Achieving flow on something you don't grok is a nonsesnse question. When I need the AI for something, it's either something I'm too tired for, something that doesn't require thought, or it's something that I need to stop and think through. All of which explicitly require exiting flow to wrangle with tooling and research.

If AI breaking flow is a problem for you, I'd suggest you're doing AI or flow incorrectly. Don't ever expect that AI will do anything other than disrupt you. Just ask yourself: would you be comfortable snapping off this task to a green intern while you stay in flow? Or would they need some level of your attention and supervision to not set the shop on fire? AI is not a tool to keep you in flow, it's a tool to help shorten the downtime between flow states.

I only ever use AI tools when flow state is light, or flow is hard blocked by something I can't immediately resolve on my own. Using AI tools in the middle of my flow sounds stupendously disruptive and counter-productive.

I disagree. The internet was intended for children. It was intended for everyone. Getting access to information, learning material, how to's, class work, doing class work, research, etc are just as much a part of the internet as surfing Pornhub or gambling.

I do agree with everything else though. The onus is on the parents to do their job as a parent. If the goal is to protect children then improve the tools available to parents. They already have tons but the work is never done.

I sympathize with what you're saying. In theory Docker and Snaps and such are supposed to more explicitly package Linux programs along with their dependencies. Though Docker especially depends heavily on being networked and servers being up.

I'm not a fan of bundling everything under the sun personally. But it could work if people had more discipline of adding a minimal number of dependencies that would be themselves lightweight. OR be big, common and maintain backwards compatibility so they can be deduplicated. So sort of the opposite of the culture of putting everything through HTTP APIs, deprecating stuff left and right every month, Electron (which puts the browser complexity into anything), and pulling whole trees of dependencies in dynamic languages.

This is probably one of the biggest pitfalls of Linux, saying this as someone to whom it's the sanest available OS despite this. But the root of the problem is wider, it's just the fact that we tend to dump the reduction of development costs onto all users in more resources usage. Unless some big corp cares to make stuff more economical, or the project is right for some mad hobbyist. As someone else said, corps don't really care about Linux desktop.

For context, I've been working on the MCPJam inspector. It's an open source dev tool to test and debug MCP servers. We did an entire rebuild from Vite + Express to Next.js two weeks ago. We did this out of personal preference - we've built stuff in Next.js before and like its routing system and built in backend.

Switching to Next was a mistake for our use case. We didn't consider that our users are starting MCPJam with npx. Our npm package size exploded to 280MB. Next.js was too heavyweight for a locally ran web app. Switching back to Vite + Hono brought our package size to 9MB, much more manageable.

This post isn't to bash Next.js. It's just to remind you that tech stack does matter. We didn't think about the consequence of switching to Next and didn't consider our users' use of npx. If MCPJam was a hosted webapp, it would probably matter less. Remember to think about your stack's tradeoffs before you commit to building!

> leave valuables on the table when you walk away

I actually do this somewhat frequently at my local game shop. Thousands of dollars' worth of Magic: The Gathering cards (because I bring multiple decks instead of just the one I'm playing) in my backpack left behind as I go to get some water or something.

> high trust societies only work when the price of ongoing admission is not violating that trust

Indeed, the reason I feel comfortable doing that is I know that nobody wants to be banned from going to that store (and they would be). In this context, the community is small enough that rumors would likely circulate at other local shops and they might also become a bit of a pariah at those other places they could play.

Compare these rankings to actual usage: https://openrouter.ai/rankings

Claude is not cheap, why is it far and away the most popular if it's not top 10 in performance?

Qwen3 235b ranks highest on these benchmarks among open models, but I have never met someone who prefers its output over Deepseek R1. It's extremely wordy and often gets caught in thought loops.

My interpretation is that the models at the top of ArtificialAnalysis are focusing the most on public benchmarks in their training. Note I am not saying XAI is necessarily nefariously doing this, could just be that they decided it's better bang for the buck to rely on public benchmarks than to try to focus on building their own evaluation systems.

But Grok is not very good compared to the anthropic, openai, or google models despite ranking so highly in benchmarks.
