Show HN: I built a tool that grows mind maps as you explore a topic

Mon, 04/21/2025 - 7:24am

I’ve always been curious about big, complex topics; things like quantum computing, AI ethics, or philosophy, but I’d often get stuck at the very beginning. I’d open a dozen tabs, skim Wikipedia, and still not feel like I had a good mental model of what I was even looking at.

So I built a tool to help with that. You type in any topic, and it generates a simple mind map; just a few high-level subtopics to start. Then, as you click and explore those nodes, it expands outward with more specific, connected concepts. The map grows with your curiosity.

It’s intentionally lightweight and incremental. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you with everything at once, but to help you gradually build a clearer picture and follow your own curiosity in a structured way.

I’ve been using it to explore new areas, plan research, and even prep for writing projects. If you're the kind of person who likes to "see" what they're learning, I’d love your feedback.

Show HN: I Built Feedaura to turn scattered feedback into clear insights with AI

Mon, 04/21/2025 - 7:22am

Hey, I want to tell you about something I’ve been working on. A while back, I was struggling to collect feedback on one of my projects—it was a mess, and I couldn’t find any tool to fix it. So, I decided to build FeedAura. It uses AI to take that chaotic user feedback and turn it into clear insights by categorizing it for you. It’s almost ready, and I’m super excited to launch it soon!

Show HN: I built a Bedtime Stories app with classic fairy tales for my daughter

Mon, 04/21/2025 - 7:21am

Hey HN! I’m Andrew, a dad and an IT geek, and I wanted to share a small passion project I built for my daughter.

Like many parents, I struggled with bedtime routines. I tried different apps, but most were filled with AI-generated or unfamiliar content. So I decided to create something better: a cozy, story-focused experience built around the timeless folk tales I grew up with.

The app was built in SwiftUI in just 2 weeks. I’m using the gpt-4o-audio-preview for dubbing and gpt-4.5 for translations (five languages supported so far). I also gave Cursor a try for the first time and ended up building the website in about 8 hours as a bonus (https://anytales.com).

I’m curious, would you use something like this for your kids? I’d love your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions!
