Show HN: I made IP-to-Geo location data library for developers

Hacker News - 2 hours 23 min ago

I made this lib called Ip2Geo — it's a super-lightweight, type-safe library that lets you convert any IP into geolocation data. It's 100% free with unlimited uses—no catch. It works online only and runs on both the client and server.

Show HN: I solo built OpenAI Codex 3 days before launch

Hacker News - 2 hours 38 min ago

Three days before the release of Codex I launched Vibe-1. Today Google released Jules. With the paywall of Codex and the load times of Jules, I thought this would be a good opportunity to showcase Vibe-1.

Vibe-1 was one of the first asynchronous coding agents that ran directly inside of Github code bases.

I built this by myself in roughly 2 weeks (1 week of building it, and 1 week of marketing).

IMO, when it works, it feels like magic.

A day before my big launch, X stopped running my ads, killing the momentum-- before X support could get back to me, OpenAI came out with Codex.

Despite what OpenAI and Google do with their products, I still plan on maintaining and contributing towards Vibe-1. My next big feature is a digital "project manager" layer that sits on top of project (focused towards vibe coders).

Show HN: The Money Company – Talk to your bank in plain English

Hacker News - 2 hours 40 min ago

Hey HN - I’m Mert, one of the founders of thecompany.money. We let you manage personal or company finances simply by chatting with your existing bank accounts—no spreadsheets, dashboards, or finance-speak required.

Most banking apps are great at showing line items but painful at answering questions:

“How much can I safely burn each month and still have 18 months runway?”

“Which vendor categories jumped the most this quarter?”

“If I max out my ISA, how does that change my tax bill?”

Founders (myself included) end up exporting CSVs, writing one-off formulas, or pestering a CFO friend on Slack.

Unified pipes to your accounts – Open Banking + Plaid + a couple of direct bank partnerships pull transactions and balances in real-time.

Domain-tuned LLM – We built a finance-specific finetuned language model + tool-calling layer that understands “What did I spend on infra last month?” and returns a clear answer, supporting docs, and the SQL it ran under the hood.

Action shortcuts – From the same chat you can schedule transfers, set budget alerts, or spin up an “instant runway report” PDF for investors.

Privacy & security first – Read-only access by default, end-to-end encrypted storage, and we never train models on raw user data.

Where we are Private alpha with 200 live users (mostly early-stage founders and indie-hackers).

Handling ~£12 M in linked balances; average chat latency is <1.5 s.

SOC 2 readiness audit in progress.

What's next? We’re expanding beyond “answers” into perks that used to be exclusive to the ultra-wealthy—think last-minute restaurant tables, card-linked cashback, concierge bookings—surfaced automatically when your spending patterns qualify.

Please let us know what kind of perks you would like us to add to the platform. We would also appreciate to hear any requests or problems you have had with a financial advisor if you ever worked with one
