Real Jacob here. This was a really weird experience, primarily hearing my own voice read words I wrote.

The newsletter is the sort of.. offboarding. The podcast episode is embeded, I hope you enjoy it, and that it's listenable!

I'm trying to untangle mine and other creators feelings on the paradox of AI: it's a threat and an opportunity. So what do we do about it?

Hi HN,

I've been experimenting for some time with writing web frameworks, and I thought it's time to publish one that I really like: it just embeds SQL directly inside HTML without any glue language.

One of the main motivators for getting this minimal was the Hundred Year Web Seervice with htmx presentation by Alexandrer Petros (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lASLZ9TgXyc), that showed that both HTML and SQL have staying power, but he couldn't really find a perfect glue language for his app. After some searching I only found ColdFusion to have implemented the same idea, but instead of the reactive direction that I want to go to, it went towards imperative programming which is not the direction I want to go to. I tried to learn from the original (pre-Adobe) ColdFusion, but make it closer to standard SQL.

I plan to keep the language super simple, just like a template language, make it provide 80% of the CRUD functionality a small web-site needs and add more extension points around it to handle other complexity by other languages.

I have already created a reactive SQL implementation, but the framework got too complex to use, so this is my next experiment (and HTMX can already provide a lot of interactivity).

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!
