Show HN: I made a privacy-first browser-based image compressor

Hacker News - Fri, 03/06/2026 - 9:10am

Hey HN.

I’m a 17-year-old developer, and I recently needed to compress a lot of images for a small website I was working on.

Most tools I found required uploading files to their servers.

That made me uncomfortable, especially since many of the images belonged to clients.

I also ran into another issue: many tools were slow at compressing multiple images because of server uploads.

So I decided to build something that works differently.

I built ConUtil, an image toolkit that runs entirely in the browser.

Show HN: NPIScan search 9M U.S. healthcare providers from the NPI registry

Hacker News - Fri, 03/06/2026 - 9:03am

I’ve been exploring the NPPES dataset, the federal registry that assigns NPI numbers to every healthcare provider in the U.S. It currently has about 9 million records and grows by ~30k per month, but accessing it usually means downloading multi-gigabyte CSVs or using the CMS lookup that returns one provider at a time.

I built NPIScan to make the dataset browsable. You can search by name, NPI, specialty, or location and drill down from state → city → ZIP code. Each provider has a profile with credentials, practice locations, taxonomy codes, and digital health endpoints.

A few interesting patterns from the data:

- 2025 had ~631k new NPI registrations, the largest jump on record

- Behavior Technicians grew to ~526k providers and are now among the largest specialties

- California alone has ~1.1M providers (~12% of the country)

- Only ~0.5% of providers have registered digital health endpoints

Tech stack: Next.js, PostgreSQL, Meilisearch, Redis. The main challenge was making 9M records feel fast to browse. I solved it with denormalized listing tables, Meilisearch full-text search, and Redis caching for aggregated queries. Most pages respond in <40ms after cache warmup.

Curious to hear feedback from anyone working with healthcare data.

I build this tool for using port forwarding with mosh (if too lazy to open my vscode). Hope it is helpful and hear your help on further improving it.

Show HN: Geo-lint – Claude Code skill that auto-fixes SEO/GEO violations in loop

Hacker News - Fri, 03/06/2026 - 8:06am

Hey HN, I built geo-lint — an open-source linter for content (Markdown/MDX) that checks 92 deterministic rules across SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), content quality, and technical issues.

GEO is the idea that AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) cite content differently than Google ranks it. Things like question-formatted headings, FAQ sections, entity density, E-E-A-T signals, and citation-ready statistics all matter for whether an LLM will pull from your content. geo-lint has 35 rules specifically for this.

The interesting part is the lint loop. It ships as a Claude Code skill — you run /geo-lint audit and it spawns parallel subagents, one per file. Each agent reads the violations, edits the content, re-lints, and repeats until clean (max 5 passes). The linter is fully deterministic (no LLM in the rules themselves), so the agent gets unambiguous violation + suggestion pairs to act on. Zero hallucination risk in the analysis layer.

It also works without Claude Code — npx geo-lint --format=json gives you a flat JSON array any agent (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) can consume. The rules are the same either way.

MIT licensed, zero runtime deps beyond gray-matter. npm: @ijonis/geo-lint
