Show HN: I solved my study problems by talking to a goose

Fri, 05/15/2026 - 2:06am

I used to study by rereading notes, and then I blanked in the exam hall.

Did some research, and found that my experience isn’t isolated, and that passive review doesn’t force retrieval, so nothing sticks, and I knew I had to do something about it.

That’s why I built Professor Goose. You pick a topic, explain it out loud to a goose, and he keeps probing until he understands you. Never gives you the answer, just keeps asking follow ups until a sound understanding is reached, which in turn makes you figure stuff out or realise you never understood your topic in the first place.

Free to try, no account needed, upload your syllabus for exam board specific questions. Curious whether this approach resonates with others, it sure has for me.

Show HN: QUptime, quorum based decentralized uptime tool

Fri, 05/15/2026 - 1:40am

Hello HN! I have been lurking for a while, first time poster.

I spent quite some time looking for a lightweight, multi-node uptime tool, like uptime-kuma in its easy deployment, but didn't find anything that met my criteria, that being:

- Decentralized alerting.

- Free and open source.

- Quorum & state management.

So I cobbled together this tool, in all honesty this was written by me and Claude, and I do not want to give anyone the false impression this was made fully by me.

I would love to hear your feedback, and I will gladly answer any questions!
