Show HN: Cardog – AI car companion for transparent ownership
Hi HN:
I'm Sam, a 22-year-old founder who spent the last 8 months building Cardog after a frustrating car buying experience where I felt completely outgunned by information asymmetry.
What it is: An AI platform that gives car buyers and owners the same data transparency that dealers have had for years.
Core features:
AI chat that answers vehicle questions by synthesizing multiple data sources Price analysis that shows if listings are fairly priced based on market comps Digital garage that tracks your car's value and maintenance needs over time
The problem I'm solving: Car buying requires 15+ hours of research across fragmented sources, yet consumers still lack access to comprehensive market data. Dealers know vehicle history, true market values, and maintenance patterns - buyers get marketing copy and hope for the best.
Technical approach: The platform combines structured automotive data (specs, pricing, reliability) with LLM-powered natural language processing. Users ask questions like "Should I buy a 2019 Honda Accord with 60k miles for $23,000?" and get data-backed analysis considering market pricing, maintenance costs, depreciation trends, and model-specific issues.
What I need: I'm looking for a small group of testers (aiming for ~50 people) to try the iOS TestFlight beta and provide honest feedback. The core user flows take about 2 minutes to test:
- Ask the AI a car question to see how it handles complex queries - Upload a vehicle listing (or use our sample ones) to test the price analysis - Add a vehicle to your garage to see the tracking interface
Feedback I'm looking for:
- Does the AI provide genuinely useful answers vs generic responses? - Is the price analysis accurate for vehicles you know well? - What features are missing that would make this valuable for you?
I built this solo while studying CS at University of Toronto. The goal isn't to replace car enthusiast knowledge, but to democratize access to market data and help people make better decisions. TestFlight waitlist: https://cardog.app I'll personally onboard everyone who signs up over the next 48 hours with a quick demo and will be around to answer questions here. A few technical notes for the curious:
- Backend handles real-time data from 15+ automotive sources - Custom ML models for price prediction trained on historical transaction data - iOS app built with Expo / React Native
Thanks for taking a look. Always excited to get feedback from the HN community.

Show HN: KelpsGet – Modern download manager built in Rust
Hi HN!
I'm the creator of KelpsGet, a download manager I built in Rust.
Started as a learning project to understand Rust better, but it evolved into something I think others might find useful.
Key features: - GUI interface (built with egui) - Multiple protocols: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, torrents - Parallel downloads with resume capability - Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
The interesting technical challenges were: - Handling different protocols in a unified interface - Building a responsive GUI in Rust - Managing concurrent downloads efficiently
Try it: `cargo install kelpsget` or download binaries from releases.
Would love feedback from the community, especially on the Rust implementation and any missing features you'd find useful!

Marvel Rivals' Sharknado Team-Up Ability Cements the Game's Fun Direction
Ask HN: How do you feel about using AI tools on your phone? Privacy vs. Utility
I make a reasonable effort to preserve privacy - on my phone I use a privacy focused browser, turn off location services when I don't need them, I opted out of the AI Personal Assistant etc, although I haven't gone as far as subscribing to a VPN.
But the some of the AI Personal Assistant type features are very useful!
AI on your phone is a privacy nightmare but I'm starting to think we've lost the privacy battle and I may as well give in and start to incorporate AI tools and agents more fully into my online activities.
Do you use the AI agents/tools on your phone? What about your privacy in the age of AI? Do you have any rules or strategies for engaging with AI on your phone or in general?
