Nexus is a platform for B2B companies to find sales leads. Think Serra(YC S23) - but for sales representatives of B2B companies instead of HR.

Users input their search query in plain English, and Nexus will automatically parse and generate filters, returning the best leads ranked using GPT-model. For each lead, a primary contact (person that works at the prospect company) and a secondary contact (mutual connection that can refer user to primary contact) will be generated, with a stronger referral being prioritized.

Seeking any form of feedback, thank you!

Hello,

I am building a backend API and have the choice between using these two languages.

I am slightly familiar with Go. I have never used Kotlin but have experience with Java.

Is there any reason to consider Kotlin if I don't have any JVM infrastructure already? Is go going to be a lot cleaner? Anyone with experience with both that can compare the experiences?

Show HN: FixThisBug.de - AI Code Fixes with Local LLM for Privacy

Hi HN! For fun (and learning) I've let an AI built FixThisBug.de, an AI-selfpowered code fixing tool that's different from typical AI coding assistants as it uses a local Ollama instance with the qwen2.5 model.

Key Features: • AI build: build entirely with AI, over several iterations via v0 and cursor. • Local Processing: Uses qwen2.5 model through Ollama for code analysis and fixes • Dual Language: Full support for English and German interfaces • Free Tier: Limited daily fixes for casual users • Pro Access: Unlimited fixes for authenticated users (just for fun, its free :) ) • Privacy Compliant: GDPR-compliant & hosted in Germany

Tech Stack: • Frontend: Next.js 15.0, React 19 • Backend: Supabase + Next.js API Routes • AI: Local Ollama instance running qwen2.5 • Auth: Supabase Auth with HCaptcha • Infrastructure: German servers for EU compliance

To add a little difference to the project: Unlike GitHub Copilot or similar tools, FixThisBug.de processes everything locally on the server. No external AI service is used.

The project is open source, and I'm particularly interested in feedback on: 1. The local LLM integration approach 2. Performance optimizations for Ollama 3. Your User experience using the service 4. Privacy considerations

Try it out: https://fixthisbug.de

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

ZetaJS wraps ZetaOffice, a WASM version of LibreOffice - and makes accessing the entire gamut of the LibreOffice programmability interfaces from JavaScript convenient, idiomatic & extremely fast.

If you always wanted an entire client-side office suite in the browser, that you could fully automate with JS & seamlessly embed in your web apps - and on top of that, be able to self-host it & keep all data on the client, since there's literally no server involved (except for some static wasm & JS blobs) - then this might be for you.
