Show HN: Auto-crop printed photos from scans using this open-source AI
Started scanning my family albums… thought it’d be quick. Then I saw the mess: 3–4 photos per scan, all skewed and overlapping. I gave up real quick on manual cropping.
So I built NerdScan — a free, open-source AI tool to auto-detect and crop multiple photos from cluttered scans in seconds. Under the hood: GroundingDINO + 700 lines of Python for robustness, usability, and EXIF automation.
Try it out, share feedback, or file issues — I’m all ears.

Show HN: Keyboard Minesweeper – Speedrun the Classic, No Mouse Needed
Hi HN! Here's a little hobby project of mine.
I reimagined Minesweeper for the keyboard warriors out there. No mouse. No distractions. Just lightning-fast gameplay, tight controls, and a design built for speedrunners and puzzle lovers.
Give it a try: https://www.kb-minesweeper.com/
Would love your feedback, or see if you can beat my best times: 5.41s on small, 46.51s on medium.

Any good new CRMs out there?
Hi, I’m looking for a true “client relationship management” platform (not sales funnel centric). I thought for sure there’d be a number of modern options to Salesforce.
Still looking, but I’m not finding anything that impresses me.
RelateIQ was probably one of the last impressive alternatives, which is why Salesforce acquired it.
I'm very versed in Salesforce (previous admin and SFDC business analyst), and actually like what it does, but was hoping to find something fresh.
Any suggestions on something you really like?
What do you love about it?
What don't you like about it?
