Ask HN: Is This Worth Building?

Hacker News - Sun, 09/08/2024 - 10:23am

I'm building a side project, about 10% in and I'm just wondering if it's even a useful oss project and if it'll help at all.

The idea is to streamline the process of setting up meetings related to code reviews or issue discussions directly within the GitHub interface via a chrome extension. So users can setup meetings(via zoom/calendly, etc) directly from the github's interface.

Would it help OSS contributors and developers?

Show HN: ImmiGreat – Credit Karma for Canadian Immigration

Hacker News - Sun, 09/08/2024 - 10:22am

Hey HN,

ImmiGreat (immigreat.io), a mobile app designed to simplify the Canadian immigration process for DIYers who want more clarity and understanding of the process.

Immigration is a high-stakes and stressful. The government’s official UIs often make things worse, leaving people more unsure of themselves. Many resort to hiring expensive consultants or lawyers to navigate the system. ImmiGreat aims to solve this by giving users an intuitive, easy-to-use platform that helps them confidently manage the process on their own.

The ImmiGreat app and web tools do the following: * Calculate your CRS score, which determines your eligibility for Express Entry, Canada’s express entry immigration program. * Track Express Entry Draws to see the latest CRS cutoffs. We also provide notifications. * Monitor and calculate scores for PNPs (Provincial Nominee Programs), which are mini provincial points systems that can help you get permanent residency faster.

ImmiGreat is currently bootstrapped and hope to generate revenue by partnering with banks, telcos, and other services that are relevant to newcomers in Canada. Newcomers are a huge growth market for many Canadian companies. The plan is to be like Credit Karma or ClearScore for Immigration. ImmiGreat will provide tailored recommendations for products and services to newcomers.

I’d love for the HN community to try it out and share feedback! No logins required.

Check it out at immigreat.io Or search for "ImmiGreat" in the app store.

Show HN: I made FeatureFlow, Ship features users (really) want

Hacker News - Sun, 09/08/2024 - 10:10am

Hey HN

I like Canny, but let's be honest—it’s too expensive ($99/month) and comes with too many features for most users.

So, I built FeatureFlow:

FeatureFlow helps you collect feedback from your customers, prioritize features, and build products your users will actually love. Don’t waste time building features that only 1% of your users will use.

Plus, you can leverage the most upvoted feature requests to guide your product roadmap!

Upcoming features: Integration with GitHub issue requests and many more coming soon!

Enjoy!

Show HN: Graphtracks Beta

Hacker News - Sun, 09/08/2024 - 10:03am

Graphtracks was born out of a personal need—while exploring decentralized social networks like Bluesky Social, I realized there were no analytics tools to track performance over time. As someone who loves diving into social media data, I knew there had to be a better way.

Graphtracks is here to solve that problem, offering powerful performance tracking for decentralized social media. With Graphtracks, you can monitor likes, follows, reposts, and replies, along with a simple metric we call "Total Engagement"—the sum of all four.

Reposts and replies are missing metric from bluesky itself, this is unique for graphtracks.

In the Beta version, our service is completely free and open to everyone!

Here’s what you can do with Graphtracks:

- Top 100 Bluesky Accounts: Check out the top accounts by engagement over the last hour, day, week, or month. - Engagement Metrics: See the total number of likes, follows, reposts, and replies on a single page. - Detailed Engagement Analytics: Dive into detailed engagement graphs for accounts in the top 100. - Search Functionality: Look up any public Bluesky account and explore their engagement data.

Check us out and give graphtracks a try! If you’re active on Bluesky, see how your performance grows up over time and grow with us.

We’d love to hear your feedback—let us know what you think!
