Hi HN, I’m the creator of TimerVana. It's not just "another timer app". The engineering analogy is a lightweight task scheduler for things people do in the real world. A normal timer models one countdown. TimerVana models a small dependency graph in JSON: some steps run sequentially, others run in parallel, and everything can converge on a target finish time. You can also combine multiple timers (e.g., combine a timer with all the steps to cook a steak + a timer for roasting vegetables). I originally built it because I often set multiple timers and alarms when cooking and got tired of repea…

A lot of my non-developer friends still think that AI is basically just Google or something you ask to write something and then copy paste it around... if they use it at all. When I ask them why they don't use the good stuff like Claude Cowork or its competitors, they tell me a few things: 1. Well, I don't wanna pay a bunch of money for it, and the $20 plans run out real fast. 2. I'm dealing with sensitive info (student grades, therapy notes, legal work, etc) and I don't wanna give it to anyone. So I built Sageling to give them a first taste of what a good coworking experience feels like. It'…

We needed a framework to write our evals in and easily update them, run A/B tests, set all kinds of constraints (ex: timeouts, number of turns), and configure the execution environment (ex: sandboxes, dependencies, how to handle AskQuestion). We also have an agent judge. It’s all in a YAML file now. We seem to be moving toward a world where companies rely more and more on evals to decide what to ship, so this should be super helpful for normalizing evals across teams.
