SEEKING FREELANCE WORK | UX/UI & web design

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background of launching my own products and being a full stack developer helps me create practical designs that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort, and performance. I work to fixed price quotes for self-contained projects.

---

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO/speed/security problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), marketing, website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

[ Rated 4.9/5, 80K+ active users, 100s of paying subscribers ]

I have 10+ years of experience, including a PhD in software verification and 5+ years working for myself helping over 25 companies including Just Eat, Triumph Motorcycles and Fogbender (YC W22). See my website for testimonials, portfolio and more: https://seanw.org

Note: For large projects, my partner usually assists me in the background (I’m working on starting a design studio with her in the future)

When does a fad stop being a fad and start being a canon or an icon or whatever? Is Shakespeare a fad? As a 8 years old I knew all Pokémons by name their powers and I have spent literally all my pocket money on Pokémon, and now almost 30 years later people still seem to dig it. Also I don’t think it ever really went away in the meanwhile too. But yeah it could also just be millennial nostalgia and the cyclical nature of cultural products which over and over resurfaces and recycles and remixes the stuff from the past
Show HN: Local Emulator for Google Cloud Workflows
by rmgn | 2026-03-02 18:17:29+00:00
Google Cloud Workflows has no official emulator. The dev cycle is: edit YAML, deploy to GCP, trigger, check logs. Repeat for every change.

I built an open-source emulator in Go that runs locally:

docker run -p 8787:8787 -p 8788:8788 \
-v $(pwd)/workflows:/workflows \
-e WORKFLOWS_DIR=/workflows \
ghcr.io/lemonberrylabs/gcw-emulator:latest

What it does:

- Watches your workflow directory and hot-reloads on save
- Full REST and gRPC API compatibility (same endpoints, same request/response format)
- Workflow http.* steps call your local services — so you can run your entire orchestration stack on localhost
- Parallel execution, subworkflows, try/except/retry, expression engine
- Most of the standard library: http, sys, text, json, base64, math, list, map, time, uuid, events, retry
- Built-in web UI at /ui for triggering executions and inspecting results
- CI-friendly: set WORKFLOWS_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8787 in your test env

What it doesn't do: googleapis.* connectors (mock them with local HTTP services), IAM/auth, Eventarc triggers, step-level execution
history.

Apache 2.0. Written in Go.

Depends on the size of denomination of the bills.

Snark aside..

Obviously a digital currency enables far more control and surveillance, but the long march towards digital means of payment via the traditional financial system and systematic outlawing of cash has slowly tightened the noose.

You are down to very low value transactions being legal in most of
Western Europe now. And the trends are getting worse.

Central banking digital currency is just the final step in a decades long process. You can get to close to the same effectiveness on the ground without going full Monty.

I can see how that could happen, but I’d argue that the “value added” is just the opportunity to talk to someone.

I was once decently intoxicated on a subway ride home and I saw a man looking at the floor who seemed upset. I asked him how he was doing and he said “alright.” We chatted a little and he randomly asked me, “do you have a brother?” I told him I did and he asked me, “is there anything your brother could do that would be unforgivable?” I said, “I’m sure there are things he could do that would be beyond forgiveness, but I would have to think long and hard about given how permanent that decision could be. Cutting someone out of your life can be a good thing, but make sure it’s what you think is right because you may never have the opportunity to undo it.”

He seemed to really appreciate the advice and went on his way. I’m not sure what his brother did, but I hope they are able to figure it out. Those types of interactions are (IMO) one of life’s little pleasures.

I had a 2008 iPad until few years ago and I think it was the most impressive device I ever owned. I couldn't believe how much performance and longevity you can get out of such a small and simple device, for the price which hasn't changed in 8 years. I sold it because I spent most of my time on a laptop, but looking at this new M4 Air iPad makes my wallet tingle. I first want to see what the low cost Macbook is like, hopefully that's tomorrow.
by rweichler | 2026-03-02 18:19:46+00:00
This is why I went with GNUstep. All of the APIs are 1:1 with Apple's, including the runtime (which is very important imo). It has AppKit support as well; its AppKit implementation is kind of half-baked, but at least it exists. Also, a lot of the APIs are kind of old. But looking at how Swift evolved over the years, maybe that's not a bad thing.

My main complaint with GNUstep is the licensing. The runtime itself is MIT which is great, but its implementation of Foundation/AppKit is LGPL. ObjFW, including its runtime, is LGPL. At least with GNUstep one day I can create my own version of Foundation based on Cocotron or swift-corelibs-foundation or something, and not need to muck with rpaths + ship a bunch of .dll/.dylib/.so files with my app in order to comply with the license.

Ummm, why? Obviously you'd only bet if you were planning on claiming the attack publicly shortly afterwards, so maybe you'd see some bets from Bin Laden and associates. If say a CIA operative had prior knowledge of the attack, do you really think they'd risk placing a bet? Besides, what would they even bet on? "Will there be a surprise terror attack that nobody expects in 2001?" or "Will the US suddenly decide to invade Afghanistan" or what?

I never played any Pokémon game apart from Go, until I recently tried HG/SS on my phone. It was a joy to experience (mobile!) games in an era where they were made as a form of art instead of as a cheap money making scheme. No microtransactions, no mandatory grind to progress, but plenty of goals and side quests to try as you want.

Saying something is intellectually lazy is not an argument. It's just intellectually lazy. Just because you refuse to take China's unrestrained development of autokill bots seriously doesn't mean they won't do it, it just means you lack critical thinking.

Perhaps you could write Xi a nicely worded letter informing him that he really shouldn't let his military-industrial complex develop autokill bots. When he inevitably realizes the error of his ways (mostly due to you accusing him of intellectual laziness), he'll no doubt shutdown autokill bot development. Taiwan and India will rest easy and praise your hard working intellect. Then we can then shift all societal resources to focus LLMs and why you think they suck.
Show HN: Lysium – cross-platform control plane for agentic software delivery
by dabit3 | 2026-03-02 18:20:24+00:00
Hi HN — I built Lysium to reduce context-switching when working through GitHub issue/PR queues.

Lysium uses GitHub + the Devin API so you can route work to background agents and keep moving.
You can:

• Swipe issues/PRs to close, merge, or skip
• Launch implementation requests from issues/PRs or from a freeform Code tab
• Run multiple agent sessions in parallel across repositories
• Trigger one-click issue/PR assessments and PR reviews
• Track progress in an Activity view split into Sessions and Actions

Try it: https://www.lysium.ai/
Code: https://github.com/dabit3/lysium

No email signup flow; full functionality requires GitHub OAuth plus a Devin API key + org ID.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on onboarding friction, general UX, and where agent automation should be explicit vs automatic.

Somehow Woot still has a supply of the Smart Keyboard Folio for certain 11" iPads Pro/Air.

My wife is still using an older gen 11" iPad Pro and her keyboard folio stopped working (they fall apart after a few years ), so I took a gamble and ordered one. It arrived in the original, sealed packaging. As far as I can tell, it had never been opened, and it is perfect condition and works great. My wife is very happy. I bought a second one for when this one falls apart.

I used to solve differential algebraic equations using Lagrange polynomials.

Essentially you convert the differential equations into an algebraic system by discretizing the solution. The method is called Orthogonal Collocation on Finite Elements (OCFE), and it was developed by chemical engineers.

The Lagrange polynomials were calculated at special knots that corresponded to Radau interior points, which work great for stiff systems.

It’s great for solving differential algebraic equations through purely sparse matrix operations, no explicit integration like Runge Kutta.
(Well, it’s implicit Runge Kutta).

No MIT but Liberty University and Hillsdale College hell yeah!

Also, given that both of Hegseth’s masters and undergrad degrees come from the banned list shouldn’t he set an example and recuse himself first?

I just open-sourced Habit Sprint - a different take on habit tracking and works great with OpenClaw.

It’s not a checklist app with a chat wrapper on top.
It’s an AI-native engine that understands:

Weighted habits

“Don’t break the chain” streak logic

Sprint scoring

Category tradeoffs

And how those things interact

The idea started in 2012 with a simple spreadsheet grid to track daily habits.
In 2020, I borrowed the two-week sprint cycle from software development and applied it to personal growth.

Two weeks feels like the sweet spot:

Long enough to build momentum

Short enough to course-correct

Built-in retrospective at the end

What’s new now is the interface.

You interact in plain language:

“I meditated and went to the gym today.”

“Log 90 minutes of deep work.”

“How consistent have I been this week?”

“Which category is dragging my score down?”

“Let’s run a habit retro.”

The model translates that into validated engine actions and returns clean markdown dashboards, sprint summaries, streak tracking, and retrospectives.

Under the hood:

Habits have weights based on behavioral leverage

Points accumulate based on weekly targets and consistency

Streaks are automatic

Two-week sprints support themes and experiments

Strict JSON contract between LLM and engine

Lightweight Python + SQLite backend

Structured SKILLS.md teaches the LLM the action schema

The user never sees JSON. The assistant becomes the interface.

It works as an LLM skill for Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any agent that supports structured tool calls.

I’m really interested in what AI-native systems look like when the traditional “app UI” fades away and the assistant becomes the operating layer.

Curious what people think.
Would love feedback.

Not affiliated with Sesame, but this is what the realtime models are trying to solve. If you look at NVIDIA’s PersonaPlex release [0], it uses a duplex architecture. It’s based on Moshi [1], which aims to address this problem by allowing the model to listen and generate audio at the same time.

Roaming around the apartment complex I grew up, in with friends and a link cable meeting new kids and trading Pokemon were some of the best times of my life.

I'm still a Pokemon fan to this day. I play Go all the time, collect cards when they're not obscene to acquire, and I'll probably buy a Switch 2 when they come out with the upgrade to immerse myself in the online aspect of modern Pokemon games. Fantastic franchise.

Yes! Whether VPS or local VM, this is a thing for good reasons.

Some reasons aren't even optional. Small but regulated entities exist, and most "Team" sized businesses aren't in Google apps or "the cloud" as they think about it, but are in M365, and do pay for cyber insurance.

Cowork with skills plugins that leverage Python or bash is a remarkably enabling framework given how straightforward it is. A skill engineer can sit with an individual contributor domain expert, conversationally decompose the expert's toil into skills and subcommands, iterate a few times, and like magic the IC gets hours back a day.

Cowork is Agents-On-Rails™ for LLM apps, like Rails was to PHP for web apps.

The VM makes that anti-fragile.

For any SaaS builders reading this: by far most white collar small business work is in Microsoft Office. The scarce "Continue with Microsoft" OIDC reaches more potential SMB desks than the ubiquitous "Continue with Google" and you don't have to learn the legacy SAML dance.

Anthropic seems to understand this. It's refreshing when a firm discovers how to cater to the 25–150 seat market. There's an uncanny valley between early adopters and enterprise contracts, but the world runs on SMBs.

The only games I've encountered that don't work on Linux are ones where the developer has intentially designed it that way. Some developers are paranoid about cheaters and one of their solitions is to tell all Linux users to kick rocks.

Aside from that I've encountered a handfull of games with performance issues on Linux (especially with Intel/Nvidea hardware), but most run just fine. Some technically run better on Linux, but I haven't encountered any where the difference was perceptable to me.

The iPad would go from a never-buy to a buy-right-away for me, if they added user profiles. It'd be a nice thing to have on your coffee table, where anyone in the household can pick it up and be logged into all of their stuff.

Windows XP had this feature. Chromebooks have this feature. It's inexcusable that such an expensive gadget can only have one user.

We’re building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. Our approach differs from LLMs in that we compose algorithms symbolically to represent complex knowledge, and perform probabilistic computations. This enables the AI-driven application of statistical models to different problems, while providing the user with a verifiable reasoning path, and an assessment of the uncertainty in each answer. We are developing applications for analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, and more.

This is an opportunity for builders and practitioners to help shape a deep-tech product from its earliest stage.

Spotlight roles:

* Engineering Lead

* Product Software Engineering (Quantitative Modeling)

Ongoing hiring:

* Bayesian Software Engineering

* Program Synthesis Engineering

We're also looking for Domain Experts to collaborate on high-value use cases -- identifying and validating opportunities, shaping them into working solutions with our engineers, and taking them from pilot to production with real users. Practitioners with expertise in Valuation Models, Quantitative Default-Probability Models, or Interest Rate Prediction Models are particularly relevant right now.
