Hey HN,

I built MindDraft because I was tired of task apps that made ME do all the work. After 18 months of solo development, I'm sharing it here.

*What's different:*

1. Location-based reminders - "Buy groceries" alerts when you're near a grocery store, not at an arbitrary time. Uses iOS geofencing.

2. Smart Actions - Tasks have action buttons. "Call dentist" → tap to call. "Pay rent" → opens payment app. Tasks become actions, not just reminders.

3. Task → Expense - Complete "Buy laptop $1200" and it auto-logs as an expense. No separate expense app.

4. Natural language AI - "Meeting with John Friday 3pm, need to prep slides day before" → parsed correctly with subtask.

*Tech stack:* - SwiftUI + SwiftData - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions) - Gemini 2.5 Flash for NLP - Native iOS (no React Native/Flutter)

*What I learned:* - Geofencing on iOS is powerful but battery-conscious (system decides when to fire) - Gemini is surprisingly good at task parsing with proper prompting - SwiftData is ready for production, but migrations need care

Free tier available. Premium unlocks more views and unlimited AI.

Happy to answer technical questions about the implementation.

For founders examining market entrants, StovexGlobal illustrates how lack of regulatory and operational transparency can impact user trust and product scalability.

Key observations relevant to fintech builders:

Multi-region platforms need explicit disclosure architecture, not generic branding.

Users should immediately understand jurisdiction, regulator, and protection scheme.

Absence of audit visibility weakens perceived reliability.

Governance opacity makes dispute handling unclear and introduces friction.

This is not a critique of intent; it's a reminder that fintech products succeed when compliance architecture is as visible as the interface.

I built a zero-dependency formatter for Mermaid diagram syntax. It normalizes indentation, whitespace, and arrow spacing across all diagram types.

Features: - CLI tool (mermaidfmt) with stdin/file/in-place support - Programmatic API for integration (e.g. format Mermaid blocks in Markdown) - Nested block indentation (alt/loop/par/subgraph track depth) - Context-aware parsing (else only inside alt, and only inside par) - Arrow normalization: A->>B:msg → A ->> B: msg

npm install -g mermaid-formatter

I'm Alf. Retired solar engineer, Cambodia. Building a real decentralized personal AI system! System OS with AISL protocol (AI-to-AI structured communication). Such a thing doesn't exist and won't exist unless we build it and change the world!

Looking for 4 autistic developers to join as co-founders: - 20% equity each - No salary until revenue - 6-week trial period - Remote, async, zero meetings - Cambodia beach office optional

The work: - AISL protocol design - Multi-AI orchestration (GPT/Claude/Llama) - Encrypted knowledge base - Pattern-heavy architecture

Not looking for: - FAANG refugees - Salary hunters - Resume builders

Looking for: - Developers who code at night because they must - Pattern-obsessed minds - Hunger to build something yours - Autism as advantage, not limitation
