Show HN: SwiftHive – A Swift Package Registry for Faster Builds
Hi HN! I've built SwiftHive, a private Swift package registry that solves several pain points with Swift's dependency management. We drastically reduce build times, ensure reproducibility, and I'm actively looking for beta testers from the community.

Bob Dylan Make His Debut at the Newport Folk Festival in Colorized 1963 Footage
I'm So Bored with the USA
I'm living on a small SaaS that will hopefully sustain myself into retirement and give a little income (have had some past exits that I am lucky for, this one will probably cap out on TAM, but good enough)
That said, I'm funding/developing this all myself and I'm looking to move myself and the company out of the US.
I'm sure the US is still the top place to run a startup for financial/networking reasons, but I don't need that for this one and I'd rather deal with a little more red tape in a country I feel aligns better w my values.
I'm just curious if anyone has made this kind of move , and any advice on how to do it right for a small 1-2 person profitable LLC?

Ask HN: Which Opens Source Software have the sexiest code?
I heard reading well-written code can improve my skills. Instead of reading top-rated projects on GitHub, which I do, I thought to ask the community to share their favorite OSS they believe to have examplary code.

Show HN: Gemini 2.5 is the best model for Kotlin and Android dev
I built Kotlin-bench, the first benchmark for evaluating LLM performance on real-world Kotlin and Android tasks.
Current AI benchmarks like SWE-bench primarily focus on languages like Python or JavaScript, leaving Kotlin and Android development largely overlooked. Kotlin-bench addresses this gap by providing a clear metric for evaluating AI models specifically on Kotlin.
Like SWE-bench, Kotlin-bench assesses AI models using real GitHub issues from widely-used Kotlin repositories such as kotlinx.coroutines and Anki-Android. Solutions are objectively validated by running each project's unit tests—a model passes only if its generated code correctly resolves the original issue.
The dataset includes 100 GitHub issues selected from well-maintained and thoroughly tested repositories.
Major takeaways:
- Gemini 2.5 performed best, solving 14% of tasks, closely followed by Claude 3.7 (thinking mode).
- "Thinking" models substantially outperformed standard models, with Gemini 2.5, Claude 3.7 thinking, and Deepseek R1 topping our charts.
- Surprisingly, OpenAI’s latest models struggled; notably, o3-mini solved only 2% of the tasks.
For a technical deep-dive on how Kotlin-bench was curated and how we scaled thousands of Android containers in parallel for evaluation, read more here:
- https://firebender.com/blog/kotlin-bench
I also open sourced all the code and datasets:
- https://github.com/firebenders/Kotlin-bench
- https://huggingface.co/datasets/firebenders/Kotlin-Bench
Thanks for reading! I'd love feedback, questions, or suggestions on how to improve Kotlin-bench further!

Show HN: I built a macOS app to track your paid subscriptions
Hi HN
I built a small app to help people track their paid subscriptions (like Netflix, Spotify, etc.). I made this because I personally kept forgetting about old subscriptions draining my money every month.
The app is free with some limitations. There’s a 50% discount available until April 6.
## Future Plans
- Ability to add subscriptions with custom periods: 1 week, 3 months, 2 years, etc. - Option to track subscription price changes over time - Tags for easier filtering and organization - Search and list view with sorting by any value - Light mode design - Sync with Calendar/Reminders for notifications on iPhone/iPad/Watch - Option to switch the app mode from Menu Bar to a regular window
## Secret Bonus
Try shaking the PRO purchase window — the bubbles in the background should react with inertia. I’m pretty proud of that little effect
Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions
