Ask HN: How's Your Cloudflare Experience?
I've got a Cloudflare support ticket that's been open since 8th August relating to R2, and it seems others may have a similar issue:

This is one of two CF services we use, and I'm wondering how people feel about CF and its support these days?

Ask HN: How do you consume sports?
I’m doing some due diligence on startup ideas.
How do you consume sports? Are you constantly on the ESPN app? Is it just Instagram and TikTok? Snapchat? X?
Are you on message boards, checking Reddit, dm’ing fantasy players?
Let me know how you do it today!

Show HN: This Was Inspired by My 5-Year-Old
So I’ve been doing the whole self-publishing thing on KDP for a while now, .
But recently, I ended up building a tool, and the idea came from the most unexpected places—my 5-year-old .
My kid is constantly coming up with these wild, creative stories, and my wife suggested I turn them into books. Seemed like a great idea...
until I realized how hard (and expensive) it is to get good illustrations done—especially when you’re self-publishing on a budget.
That’s when I had this lightbulb moment:
Why not build a tool that can generate illustrations for me?
That’s how StoryArtAI was born. It’s a tool that takes your story or prompts and generates consistent character illustrations throughout the book—no illustrator fees, just some AI magic.
You get different styles to choose from—like watercolor, line art, or even collage, so no matter what vibe you’re going for, we’ve got you covered.
And here’s the best part: It’s free to try! You get 20 free generations upfront, so you can test it out without paying a dime. Whether you're new to this or just want to check it out, it's a great way to get started.
If this sounds like something you'd want to try, check out StoryArtAI.com.

Show HN: Leetpro – LeetCode but for soft-skill interviews
Hey HN — we’re University of Waterloo grads, and we’re building LeetPro (https://tryleetpro.com). LeetPro is Leetcode but for soft skill-based questions and cases. In other words a platform designed to help you nail behavioral, product, and case-based interviews just like Leetcode does for technical interviews. We’re combining AI-driven mock interviews with community-driven content to create a comprehensive preparation tool for systems design, product, and business interviews. We came up with this idea just last week, and we've already launched an MVP that’s worth checking out if you’re interested https://tryleetpro.com
Why you ask? (Eric) As I started pivoting from software engineering to product management, I noticed a HUGE difference in the structure between preparing for technical roles versus product management, business, and finance roles. Leetcode made technical prep straightforward, but there’s no equivalent for the soft-skill-heavy interviews in the finance, business analyst, and product management spaces. That’s where we’re hoping LeetPro comes in. In the future, we’re hoping to build LeetPro into a product that allows users to browse a wide range of community and internally sourced interview questions, cases, and prompts. From there, you can conduct a mock interview with a realistic AI interviewer that mimics the experience of a real interview. Afterward, you receive a detailed score and breakdown of your performance, along with precise feedback on how to improve. We’re also planning future iterations that will analyze non-verbal cues like confidence, personality, and body language.
If you’ve ever struggled with preparing for a behavioral or case-based interview or know someone who is, we’d love for you to give LeetPro a try. We only built this in the last 48 hours and we’re hoping to just understand whether this is a product that people are interested in! We’re eager to hear your feedback and answer any questions in the comments!
