Show HN: Weatherspread, visualizing recent weather and tourism data
I (Max) built this web app with two friends (Tristan and Shelby) to aid in planning travel and events. Usually you plan things far enough out (say, 3-6 months) that there’s no reliable forecast. So historical data is your best bet.
We’ve observed that the last few years is a much better indicator of what the weather will be like than most data sources which aggregate from 1900 or even 1950.
We’ve also added tourism stats, and synced it to weather data. This has been particularly eye-opening. It lets us see when a country experiences over-tourism (e.g., Croatia and Austria) relative to its population.
There’s lots more we’d like to build, but we’re releasing it now to get feedback. It’s free and there’s no ads, so if you’re interested and would like to support us, there’s a box to give your email. In the future, we may consider a premium app version or an patreon-like support option.
Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: AICarma – See what AI tells customers about your brand (free for HN)
Hey HN,
I'm Anton Seidler, based in Dallas. After my previous startup Pneumatic Workflow (did AI orchestration stuff), I built AICarma (https://www.aicarma.com) to solve a problem that's been bugging me lately.
Here's the deal - 62% of consumers are now using AI tools for product research, but most companies have zero visibility into what these tools are saying about them. It's crazy. Your potential customers are asking ChatGPT about your product, and you have no clue if you're even mentioned.
While we've all been obsessing over SEO for years, this new AI search thing is totally different. AICarma gives you:
1. Visibility across the main AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc)
2. How you stack up against competitors
3. Which sources these AIs are pulling from when talking about you
4. Whether they're saying nice things or trash-talking your brand
5. Where you're missing opportunities to show up
What makes us different? We keep it simple. We send you a clean weekly email with everything you need to know about your brand's performance across top LLMs. No fancy dashboards to figure out, no learning curve - just the info you need.
I built this after watching how fast AI is changing how people research products. Companies that don't know what AI is telling customers about them are gonna get left behind.
Looking for beta users from this community. Use promo code HACKERNEWS during signup for a 100% forever discount. Seriously, free forever. Your feedback would be super helpful.
Anton
