Show HN: Read while you listen to your Audiobookshttps://hushbook.app

I am a product manager, and in the last few months I got laid off, coupled with a disruptive job market. Due to this, I used to scroll short-form content a lot; I was a slave to it, and anything I picked to read had me going back to scrolling. This became a reading comprehension problem; my attention span was clearly in decline; I found that a lot of people were also not able to read without an assist like a physical book or an ebook, especially for readers with ADHD/Dyslexia - this problem was hard-hitting. So I built Hushbook- a read-along audiobook app that helps you read while you listen.…

Show HN: A Claude Code skill to analyze your chess gameshttps://github.com/brumar/chess-postmortem-skills

Hello HN, It started as an experiment: can Claude play chess properly if it uses vision instead of PGN notation? Somehow it can. The next experiment was to see whether Claude + Stockfish could explain a game. Somehow it can too. A few sessions later, I had a system that takes my live audio notes (or text, for that matter) and a vague instruction like "analyze my last lichess game", and gives me a commented video of the game. The result is not perfect and it takes time to deliver (an hour or so), but for me it is a much more pleasant and memorable experience than clicking around Stockfish bran…

Show HN: HomeAI.design – Visualize interior design ideas from a photohttps://homeai.design

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. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49856774 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Show HN: Minimal dbt-style SQL builds with DuckDB and Makehttps://github.com/ltrgoddard/duckdb.mk

"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 `in…
