Show HN: HomeAI.design – Visualize interior design ideas from a photo
Hi HN,
I’m an indie developer and I recently built HomeAI.design.
The original idea was simple. When people renovate a room, it's difficult to imagine what a different design would actually look like in their own space.
So I built a tool where you upload a room photo and generate different interior design ideas.
I'm still figuring out what users really need, especially compared with other AI interior design tools.
Would love feedback on the product and the generated results.

Show HN: Minimal dbt-style SQL builds with DuckDB and Make
"DuckDB and Make are all you need!"
I love the ergonomics of dbt for building reproducible data pipelines with DuckDB -- particularly the ability to define output tables as individual `SELECT` queries and have them refer to each other -- but have always found the configuration and boilerplate excessive for the projects I work on. With the recent Rust rewrite of dbt Core, now seemed like a good time to consider the bits I actually need/use.
Recently, I realised that DuckDB itself can parse SQL queries into an AST representation using the `json_serialize_sql` function. duckdb.mk (~250 lines `include`d in your Makefile) takes advantage of this to generate Make rules for your models automatically, and works with both DuckDB 1.4.1+ and 2.0 preview.
Write a neat directory of SQL statements querying local and remote data, get a neat directory of Parquet files (plus a Mermaid diagram of the DAG) back. When you rebuild a table, duckdb.mk keeps track of dependencies (including remote resources queried over HTTP) and only rebuilds those that need it.
This system is a distillation of various ad hoc solutions cooked up while working on data journalism and research projects over the past 5-10 years, most recently doing Observable-based research notebooks with Data Desk: https://research.datadesk.eco/ It's very much a starting point for further development, and contributions in line with the general minimalist philosophy are very welcome!
Check out the `example/` directory for a simple test project that attributes satellite-observed methane plumes to oil and gas infrastructure using public data.

Question – Have you created something original accidentally?
As the title describes - have you created anything that was financially succesful or useful as an accident or side-effect?
I once made a tool for a very rare case where my chainsaw-chain would get stuck and i had to make a small tool for it, turns out it was a great idea and people wondered what it was and i sold about 12 pieces of it. Made a small fortune out of nothing.
