Show HN: Prose AI – Elevate your writing with AI-powered clarity

Hacker News - Wed, 04/09/2025 - 9:54am

Prose AI goes beyond grammar checks - think smarter suggestions for structure, tone, and flow. It’s not just a tool; it’s your writing wingman, cutting fluff and boosting clarity.

Ask HN: Ways to Automatically Scan and Extract Business Cards Information?

Hacker News - Wed, 04/09/2025 - 9:08am

I have hundreds if not thousands of business cards. I have been looking for something like a Scanner with Automatic Feeder where I could put dozens of cards and it will scan them. And then somehow extract and manage that information. I have seen a lot of Camera and Card apps but those are too manual and labour intensive. Wondering if anyone on HN has any solutions.

Show HN: AI Debater, because my school doesn't have a debate team

Hacker News - Wed, 04/09/2025 - 8:57am

A project I made a while back because my school didn't have a debate team, but I wanted to practice debating.

I figured, why not make an app where I can debate with AI, since I don't have anyone else to debate with.

Show HN: JØKU – Web game I built if you fancy poker

Hacker News - Wed, 04/09/2025 - 8:55am

I managed to finish a little passion project of mine – a game called JØKU, where you play Poker Hands on a grid and try to get the highest score.

Continue reading if you are interested about my process.

I'm a recent dad with a full-time job, so those who are in the same position can relate that my free time is almost non-existent. I've had this idea for a game for some time, heavily inspired by playing Balatro. Even though I had made games with Unity before, I thought a lightweight web app was the way to go for this, but the thought of learning a whole new framework was overwhelming.

I was able to get the core idea of the game prototyped on a Sunday afternoon. This first prototype was built with pure JS/HTML/CSS, a single file that was 3k lines long. I showed the prototype to friends and family, and people were hooked! I had more ideas, though, so it was time to refactor the whole thing with a proper web framework.

It's been more or less a month since then, and I've been refining the game, adding features, and polishing it. It was a wild ride, to be honest, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The current version uses React, Tailwind CSS for styling, Framer Motion for animations, and Firebase for leaderboard / analytics.

What's really cool is that, beyond actually finishing a project in my limited time, I learned a LOT about React and web tech in the process. I've started applying these skills in my full-time job as well, creating dashboards for the tools we are building.

Let me know what you think about the game if you get a chance to play, and ask me if you want to learn anything else about my journey. Cheers!
