Hey HN,

While learning Danish, I kept translating the same words over and over. I’d take notes, highlight books, save things in random places… then lose track of it all.

I wanted something simple. Translate a word, save it with context, and review it later so it actually sticks. Nothing I found really did that.

So I built my own app.

It lets you: - Translate and save words instantly - Add notes, tags, example sentences, gender, even emojis - Review everything with flashcards using spaced repetition - Track how many words you’ve really learned - Use it fully offline with on-device ML Kit translation

I made it for myself, but once I showed it to others, people started asking to use it.

More details here: https://getwordwise.app

The app is live on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andr.wordw...

Would love your feedback. iOS is on the way if there's enough interest.

I built VibeGit to eliminate the friction of organizing large, interwoven diffs after long development sessions. The CLI command vibegit commit invokes an LLM (Gemini 2.5 Flash by default, GPT-4o and others supported) to examine each hunk, group semantically related changes across files, and produce a sequence of logical, stylistically consistent commits with clear messages. The workflow is configurable—fully automatic, interactive review, or summary-only—and requires only Python 3.11+. MIT-licensed; feedback and contributions are welcome.

We run ASO.dev, a tool helping developers manage their App Store metadata and visibility. On May 3, 2025, we faced a critical issue: “Sign in with Apple” stopped working properly for all users, resulting in the complete loss of access for one-third of our users—specifically, those using Apple’s private relay emails.

What exactly happened?

• Apple began returning a completely new userIdentifier for existing Apple IDs, without users initiating any changes. This effectively made user authentication impossible, as we can no longer match users to their existing data. • The email field now always returns null. Although this behavior is typical for subsequent sign-ins, it’s irrelevant in this case because the userIdentifier itself changed, leaving no way to identify existing accounts. • Previously issued relay emails (@privaterelay.appleid.com) no longer accept emails—we verified this with bounce tests. • Users also report that our app has disappeared from their Apple ID’s authorized apps list.

Important context:

• We migrated our Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization about a year ago. • Everything worked perfectly until the May 3, 2025 update. • The incident occurred precisely on the day Apple released updates to the Developer Console (Accounts, Profiles, etc.). We strongly believe these internal changes at Apple triggered the issue.

Consequences:

• Every user received a new userIdentifier, meaning our system sees returning users as entirely new, breaking the link to their historical data. • One-third of our users, who registered via Apple’s private relay email, are now completely unreachable: • We can’t contact them (emails bounce). • We can’t restore their access (new IDs don’t match old accounts). • We have sent three support requests to Apple via email—no reply or acknowledgment yet, with no escalation path or live chat available.

⸻

We were fortunate because ASO.dev also supports an alternative sign-in method (email with a one-time login code). Without this alternative, we would’ve permanently lost access for every user who originally signed in with Apple.

⸻

We’re openly sharing this story to:

• Warn developers who rely solely on Apple Sign-In and relay email addresses. • Connect with others who’ve faced similar issues—let’s share experiences. • Draw Apple’s attention to this critical problem—currently, there is no documented solution and no available support.

Never rely solely on Apple ID authentication. Always implement a fallback method, as even major ecosystems can fail unpredictably.

Hello HN, I built a browser extension that shows you real-time energy consumption and environmental impact estimates of your ChatGPT usage.

It does two main things: - Adds a live energy tracker overlay at the top of the ChatGPT page - Shows detailed stats in the popup, including estimated energy use and equivalents like YouTube streaming time, elevator trips, phone charges, and even water evaporated

Chrome web store : https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-impact-tracker/l...

Website : ai-impact.tortue.studio

Github repo : https://github.com/simonaszilinskas/ai-impact-tracker

Methodology : https://github.com/simonaszilinskas/ai-impact-tracker/blob/m...

The project is open source, the methodology still has left a lot to be desired but I’d love your feedback. I’m planning to improve: - model detection (since energy use varies a lot) - add support for other sites soon - better token estimation

It's early, but I’m excited about it — feedback and contributions welcome!
