Show HN: Spellsurf – Create words from words

Hacker News - 1 hour 29 min ago

Hey HN!

I've always loved beautiful words. I also enjoy coming up with fun names for all the side projects and businesses that I'm working on, trying to find something unique with an available .com.

After spending countless hours brainstorming names for different stuff, I built Spellsurf.

It lets you explore words and combine their syllables to create new ones. You can also set rules for the generated words, making it easy to search for names that fit what you're looking for.

People say to open a dictionary to a random page when you're looking for ideas. Spellsurf is like that, just a bit faster!

I've already found tons of interesting available .com's using it (spellsurf.com was one of them!)

I recommend setting it to generate one- or two-syllable words and combining those for the best results for catchy "startup-y" names.

Hope it helps or inspires you, and I'd love to hear any feedback!

/Alex

Revised Polish Alphabet

Hacker News - 1 hour 29 min ago

Aa Bb Cc Çç Dd Ee Ęę Ff Gg Ɠɠ Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Ǫǫ Pp Rr Ss Şş Tt Uu Vv Ww Yy Zz Ȥȥ Ьь

Ɠ W E R T Y U I O P Ç Ǫ A S D F G H J K L Ş Ę Z Ȥ C V B N M Ç ь , .

Changes: Some letters were removed as they don't make distinct sounds in the language.

One letter one sound: cz -> ç ó -> u ch -> h sz -> ş

Makes more sense regarding the sound: ą -> ǫ ć -> çь h -> ɠ ń -> nь ś -> şь ł -> w w -> v ź -> zь ż rz -> ȥ

Introducing soft sign will allow for more possibilities (e.g. loaning from languages like russian). Introducing separate letter for every soft sign is redundant. ь is to be read as "miękki znak".

With my alphabet the orthography of many words have to be changed a lot: żółw -> ȥuwv tchórz -> thuȥ włóczęga -> vwuçęga wolność -> volnoşьçь wąs -> vǫs bohater -> boɠater

Notice how much better does orthography align with pronouncination.

Any thoughts about how to bring this to live to some extend? Thanks in advance.

Show HN: Vendo (YC S26) – Let your users add their own features to your product

Hacker News - 1 hour 37 min ago

Hey HN, my name is Yousef and I am one of the co-founders of Vendo (YC S26). We let your users create their own personal micro-apps and features right on top of your product.

Me and my co-founder have been thinking a lot lately about how agents are going to change the way that dashboards and UIs are consumed by users. And one of the big things we often come back to is personalization. Everyone has their own workflows, outcomes, and views they want from a product. Instead of devs having to wade through hundreds of feature requests, we think agents will let every user use a product exactly how they want to.

We started working on this problem initially through an open-source software angle: we would let users easily deploy open-source software so they could customize it directly. What we found, though, was that customization alone wasn't enough to convince users to switch to us, and people just wanted to customize what they already use. So we pivoted to what Vendo currently is. We now give businesses the ability to let their users personalize the product directly. Users can generate their own custom micro-apps, customize existing components, create automations, connect to external tools, and more! And the goal is not just to generate UIs, but full-on micro-apps and features that can do real stuff for users.

Everything your users create is built within your existing brand/theming, security guardrails, and API. All the code your users create is run in secure sandboxes, so the application's source code is not touched at all. We have some demo GIFs here if you would like to see how it works: https://github.com/runvendo/vendo

We are open-source (as seen from above) and we can integrate with existing agents (or set up a production-ready one with everything needed) all with one command! That one command lets Vendo learn your brand, components, and API. We currently support Vercel AI SDK but are adding support for other agent frameworks soon.

Please check out the repo, and am happy to discuss how everything works under the hood! Two of the hardest problems we've been working on are (1) generating high-quality and on-brand UIs fast and (2) securing everything while still giving users a lot of power, and would love to share more technical details.
