Show HN: Open-source transaction enrichment datasethttps://github.com/steveharrison/openenrichment
Many FinTech products display a nice merchant icon and human-readable name for transactions, instead of the plain text SQ *BRICKFIELDS CHIPP that appears on your bank statement. This relies on transaction enrichment, or some way to map these strings to their corresponding merchant details. I've created a lightweight CSV file of many different merchants from around the world, corresponding transaction texts, and simple regular expressions to match those merchants. It's tiny, but hopefully can be expanded to get better coverage. The quality of enrichment improves the more accurate data we feed…
Show HN: Serverless reverse geocoding for WebMCP, ESP32, and RP2040https://nyatla.github.io/galuchat
I built Galuchat, a compact reverse-geocoding system that works without an external geocoding server or API. The same basic approach can be used in: Browsers WebMCP ESP32 RP2040 / RP2350 JavaScript / C++ / Java / Python The basic idea is to store the administrative-boundary data locally and perform the lookup directly on the device, instead of sending every coordinate to an external API. Rather than storing the original polygon data as-is, Galuchat converts administrative regions into a very large raster segmentation image. The raster uses resolutions ranging from roughly 10 m to 1 km per pix…

Show HN: Review Markdown files like a documenthttps://github.com/shudv/easy-markdown-review-ado
Markdown has become the preferred format for documentation and authoring skills across many teams. Yet, our tools to review markdown files haven’t really kept up. Reviewing changes to a markdown file still requires you switch back and forth between the preview and source mode. The preview mode is easier to read but does not show diffs or comments, whereas the source mode allows diffs and comments but is not easy to read. This is also the primary reason why some teams still hesitate to move away from Word documents, even though they want to. Hence, I built Easy Markdown Review which is an Az…

Hi HN! This is my latest side hustle, OctoLoops: an app to help indie devs and SMEs find paying customers for their business. I first started building OctoLoops around 2 months ago because so many of my own projects, big and small, had failed or petered out from lack of users and the valuable feedback that comes with them. When I started seriously digging, I found that distribution is one heck of a rabbit hole. The more I read, the more I found how much I didn't know. But I wanted to learn - and I really wanted to _apply_ that learning too, to all my new projects, in a repeatable, autonomous-…

Old multi-agent system worked great when we launched in September 2025. It was as good as it got in the internal tooling space at that time. Customers who evaluated multiple products agreed and things went well; and that's how we got into the trap of iterating the same system for almost a year. In the last few months, our customers weren't impressed by this system. The expectations were entirely different.…
