Hi HN,

VCs love publishing dense "Market Map" JPEGs, but they are essentially dead data. If you see a logo you like, you have to manually Google it to figure out what they do.

I built a tool called Scaapr that takes these images and reverse-engineers them into structured data.

How it works:

Upload a market map image.

AI extracts the hierarchy (Category -> Subcategory -> Company).

We run a "disambiguation" step to match logos to real Crunchbase entities.

The result is a fully searchable, interactive board.

Example: I ran the Sapphire Ventures "Cybersecurity Market Map" through the system. You can see the result here:

Would love your feedback on the accuracy and any other features you'd find useful!

And which model do you use the most?

Most responsive edge cases don’t appear during testing. They show up during real usage, at slightly “wrong” viewport widths.

This Chrome extension randomly shifts the viewport width to realistic values while you use your site normally.

The goal is passive exposure, not active testing: you keep working, and edge cases surface on their own.

Repo (Chrome Web Store approval pending, local install for now):

Feedback welcome.

I built MostBased because I wanted a simple way to track how people feel about public figures in a measurable way, and I couldn't find a tool that did that with community input and evolving data.

MostBased lets users vote on figures every 24 hours and add events or facts that get attached to those figures over time. The focus is on *votes and user-submitted events*, not biographies — you can get those on Wikipedia.

I’d love feedback on a few things: - Is this format useful or interesting to you? - Any tips for improving the voting/recording model? - Ideas for better UI/UX or data representation?

Thanks!
