Show HN: I built a tool that generates quizzes from documents using LLMs
Hey everyone! I recently built this little side project that takes any document you upload and turns it into practice quizzes using LLMs to generate the questions: https://www.cuiz-ai.com
Being a backend engineer, I have always struggled to finish my side projects due to my awful frontend skills. Now, with the progress of AI coding tools, I had no more excuses.
100% of the frontend, landing page and even the logo was made ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: Charm – A Toy Assembler for ARMv7
Hello HN,
I wrote a tiny assembler and I thought that some of you might find it neat.
Charm is an assembler for the ARMv7 ISA (the old 32 bit one). It implements around 20 instructions, a few preprocessor directives and it can generate simple ELF executable files. It has enough features that you can write simple programs with it.
Charm is implemented in a single C file of around 1800 lines of code, and it doesn't need any dependencies: compilation is just \cc charm.c -o charm\

Show HN: I Overcame Resume Frustration with AI-Enhanced Video CVS
I’ve been through it all—months of sending out resumes that never got noticed, despite having all the skills on paper. I even tried making my own video CVs to stand out, but quickly discovered that I lacked the editing skills to make them truly professional. I struggled with everything: removing the background, adding the right music, adjusting color and lighting, and setting up the perfect scene. The result was far from what a professional CV should look like.

I Created a Social Media Scheduler with Innovative UI
Hi everyone,
Recently I released a new social media scheduler https://publora.com/. The philosophy behind this project was to provide an extremely engaging UI, so that users don't just use it to schedule content, but use it to create and cross-reference the content. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have: logo, design, idea, functionality. Cheers, Sev

Can CRUD softwares survive in this AI era?**
Had a funny incident recently:
I created a clone of a SaaS product and shared it with the founder and he was pissed (scale, security etc etc), This led me to think, is there any product moat left in SaaS (I know distribution is there).
With time do you'll think that every department can create AI enabled internal softwares needed for their operations ?
Do you think organization's would want to shift from per user pricing model to a fixed maintenance cost for their in house sof ... ⌘ Read more

"Ease" of doing business in India

Reminds me of Munger circa 2017:
‘Now you turn to India. And I would say, I’d rather work with a bunch of Chinese than I would the Indian civilization mired down, caste system, over-population, assimilated the worst stupidities of the democratic system, which by the way Lee Kuan Yew avoided, it’s hard to get anything done in India. And the bribes are just awful. So, all I can say is, it’s not going to be easy for India to follow the ex ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: The agent lied to you, how will you handle it?**
I was looking through the logs today, and saw this user asked our Agent to update their credit card phone number. Thing is, they'd already tried before, but the ID check failed, so customer service told them they had to handle it in person.
Anyway, our Agent asked the user for more ID info, and should have called customer service again to give it another shot. But nope! It kinda just... hallucinated? Basically, the Agent lied to the user.
The logs clearly show it ne ... ⌘ Read more
