Show HN: I built an AI tool to simplify assignments for students

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 1:11am

Hi HN,

I’m an international student studying a Master of IT. I built BreakMyAssignment to help students understand and plan their assignments using AI.

You upload a DOCX or PDF, and it gives you: • A step-by-step breakdown • Time estimates • Task tracking

Would love feedback from the HN community!

Show HN: I made a daily spot the fake headline game

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 12:49am

Hi! I made this daily game recently and I am just looking for feedback on how to make it more intuitive and fun.

I wrote a pipeline that searches the news and, using an LLM, suggests headlines (both real and fake) for me to use. Then I manually sift through the suggestions and pick out a few for the next week.

If you join the beta program (after you sign up), you can play more games and test variations of the daily game. I am currently testing if showing the full headline right away is better than giving the reader an option to reveal it (but lose a point)

Show HN: Building code agents? Try code embedding models FAST and do it better

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 12:43am

We are a small group of undergrads interested in building human in the loop coding agents. We dream of a world where building complex agent workflows feels as simple and creative as playing with legos.

When we were building stuff we needed a tool that made it easy to try out different code embedding models so that we could see which ones worked best in different scenarios and understand their strengths and weaknesses.

So to speed that process up we made PurpleSearch an 'instant' search engine for your local codebases. This tool lets you quickly deploy any open source embedding model on hugging face into a real application that makes their capabilities visual and easy to digest. Check out the demo vid.

The flow: Pick any Java project. We'll turn it into a code graph, embed code snippets from the graph and index them. Then you can query the code snippet index. We'll return the 10 highest ranking snippets and the the subgraph that surrounds them for deeper contextual understanding (we call it a cluster). We feed these clusters into an LLM who uses them as context to answer your query.

Purple Search!

Github: https://github.com/logantucker25/PurpleSearch

note: This tool might be a little rough around the edges and occasionally get hung up. It hasnt been fully tested for use outside of our small group. We hope that it is useful to someone out there... if so feel free add to this code in any way that you like and make it into whatever suits you best. PRs welcome.

Off Topic – Does DMCA Ignored Hosting Feature Protect My Content?

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 12:30am

Hey folks, I know this might be a bit off topic, but I’ve been looking into DMCA ignored hosting and was wondering—does it actually protect your content from takedown requests? Is it truly safe or just marketing hype? Anyone here have real experience with it?
