Show HN: A Twitter bot that writes a haiku a day about U.S. news

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 8:36am

I built a Twitter bot yesterday that reads the news and posts a haiku every morning. There's no business model, but I had a good laugh about it. Maybe someone here will appreciate it too.

Show HN: I built an AI extension to protect your wallet from sneaky clauses

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 8:21am

I got tired of slogging through walls of legal text whenever I had to sign something important, so I built a Chrome extension that uses AI to:

- Spot red flags and suspicious clauses – It automatically highlights risk areas in real-time as you read through an online contract.

- Score the contract’s safety – Based on industry-standard risk parameters, it gives you an at-a-glance score so you can see how risky the document might be.

- Simplify the jargon – It generates a quick summary of the key points, saving you from reading every paragraph in detail.

No more signing on hunches or bets!

Right now, it’s in Beta, and I’m giving out 50% off on launch day for anyone who joins the waitlist. It’s been super helpful for my own sanity—especially for those multi-page eContracts that feel designed to keep you scrolling forever.

I'll appreciate any feedbacks or your thoughts on this so I can make it more valuable.

Show HN: NoLinkPreview - Share links without triggering previews

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 8:20am

I built this simple tool that lets you share links without triggering previews or thumbnails on social and chat platforms.

I often wanted to share a link without drawing attention, breaking the layout of a conversation or leaking content (coughRickRollcough) through preview crawlers - but I couldn't find a tool that did that. So I built one.

Created with CloudFlare Workers and Pages, it basically appends your URL to https://nolinkpreview.com (so it doesn't cloak or obfuscate the destination).

When bots or crawlers follow the link, they receive a plain response with no metadata, thumbnails, or Open Graph tags - nothing to preview. When a user clicks the link, they're immediately redirected to the original URL.

There are no ads, tracking, logging or storage of any kind for the generated links or traffic. There is a single Cloudflare Web Analytics snippet on the homepage - just so I can tell if anyone is using the tool at all.

Would love any feedback, critique or edge cases you think I should handle.
