Show HN: Gluon – Project management with impact-based task prioritization

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:55pm

I built Gluon because I was tired of switching between a project manager, a to-do app, and a calendar every day. Gluon combines all three. The core idea is the Impact Score — each task gets a 1–10 score so you prioritize by importance, not just deadlines. Features: - Projects with task tracking and completion rates - Calendar view with tasks and events side by side - Location-based reminders (arrive/leave a place) - Productivity stats with streak tracking and weekly insights Available on iOS. Free to download with a Pro plan for advanced stats. Would love any feedback — especially on the Impact Score concept. Is this something you'd actually use? app store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gluon-project-manager/id675893...

What I'm learning trying to build a dance theater piece like a startup

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:55pm

Hi HN,

I run a small Pilates studio in NYC, but before that I spent most of my life as a dancer. Recently I decided to do something that feels slightly irrational and produce an evening-length dance theater piece independently.

Normally projects like this rely on grants, institutions, or large arts organizations. Those systems can work well, but they also move slowly and can make it difficult for smaller experimental work to happen.

So I started wondering: what would it look like to approach producing a piece of performance art more like building a small startup?

The “product” is the performance itself. The budget mostly goes toward rehearsal space in NYC, paying the second performer, building a small set, costumes, and renting a venue.

Instead of waiting on grants, I’ve been experimenting with more direct community support — a mix of small donations, personal outreach, and sharing the process publicly.

A few things I’ve already learned:

• People respond much more to the story behind the work than to the work itself. • Direct personal messages raise far more support than public posts. • Funding creative work is strangely similar to early-stage startup fundraising — it’s mostly momentum and belief.

What’s been interesting is realizing that artists are rarely taught to think about funding this way. Most training focuses on the craft itself, not on building the systems that allow the work to exist.

I’m curious if anyone here has experimented with unconventional funding models for creative work or small projects.

Would love to hear any thoughts or experiences.

Ask HN: How common are fake job postings when searching for jobs online?

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:51pm

I'm researching problems people face when searching for jobs online.

Many people mention fake job postings, duplicated listings, or companies that never respond after applying.

I'm curious how common this actually is.

Have you encountered fake job postings during your job search?

If so, what were the signs that made you realize the job wasn't legitimate?

Did you notice any patterns (for example: certain job boards, suspicious requests, or companies that never replied)?

Show HN: Agent-pulse – local gateway that fans out AI agent events to clients

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:50pm

I wanted Claude Code to notify my ESP32 when it finished a task. A `curl` in the Stop hook worked — until I needed a local dashboard too. The dashboard couldn't expose an HTTP endpoint, it needed to subscribe. And every new client meant editing hook configs across all my projects.

So I built agent-pulse: a local gateway that captures AI agent lifecycle events and fans them out to registered clients.

You register clients once in a global YAML. Projects just call `agent-pulse hook --provider claude --event stop` from their hooks. The gateway handles routing, per-client filtering, and parallel dispatch. It auto-starts on the first event.

Two delivery modes: HTTP POST fan-out for webhooks and scripts, SSE stream (`GET /events/stream`) for dashboards and anything that can't expose an endpoint. You can also attach project metadata via `.agent-pulse.json` that travels with every event.

Single Go binary, zero runtime dependencies. Claude Code and Gemini CLI supported today, OpenCode and Codex CLI in progress.

Note: Claude Code recently added native HTTP hooks, so you can POST directly to an endpoint without any intermediary. agent-pulse is useful when you have multiple clients, need SSE, or want one config across projects.

Thanks!

Show HN: Netwall

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:50pm

Netwall (https://netwall.org) is an ultra-simple, text-only public wall.

- No accounts, no sign-ups.

- You type a message, hit enter, and it deletes itself after exactly 1 hour.

- If the community likes a post, they can click "+5m" to vote to keep it alive a bit longer.

Stack: Vanilla JS, Node/Express, Postgres. It features a few classic terminal themes (including Solarized Dark and the Openwall mailing list aesthetic), and sits behind OpenAI's Moderation API to keep it from turning into a complete swamp.

Let me know what you think!

An experiment: funding an independent dance theater piece like a startup

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:48pm

Hi HN,

I’m a dancer and small business owner who runs a Pilates studio in NYC. Recently I decided to do something slightly irrational and produce an evening-length dance theater piece independently.

Normally projects like this rely on grants or institutions, but I’ve been curious whether it’s possible to approach funding a piece of art more like a startup experiment.

The “product” is the performance itself. The costs are things like rehearsal space, paying the second performer, costumes, and building a small set.

Instead of waiting on grants, I started trying to raise the budget directly from people who believe in independent work.

It’s an unusual experiment and I’m learning a lot about what it takes to make something exist without institutional backing.

If anyone here has thoughts about creative funding models or ways artists might approach this differently, I’d genuinely love to hear them.

And if you’re curious about the project itself, I’m happy to share more.

Thanks for reading.

Show HN: Chrome extension that tailors your resume to a job posting in one click

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:41pm

Job tailoring advice is everywhere but it all bottlenecks at the same place: actually doing it 50 times. Copy resume, paste into ChatGPT, rewrite bullets, reformat everything that broke, repeat. Ajusta sits on the job page (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.), reads the posting, and rewrites your resume against the JD without touching your formatting or adding anything that isn't already there. The output is your resume with tighter language and better keyword alignment, not a new document built from a generic template. The constraint we cared about was hallucination. A lot of resume tools will invent responsibilities or rephrase something so aggressively it no longer reflects what you did. Ajusta only works with what's already in your resume. Still early. Would genuinely like feedback from anyone who tries it, especially on edge cases like non-standard formats or roles with heavy technical terminology.

Show HN: I built an AI-assisted roadmap tool to prioritize SaaS features

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:49pm

I build SaaS products and WordPress plugins. One recurring problem kept coming up.

Feature requests everywhere.

Twitter replies. Emails. Support tickets. Random Slack messages. DMs from users.

The problem is not collecting feature requests. The problem is deciding what actually matters.

Votes alone don't solve that. The loudest users win.

So I built BuildVote.

It is a public roadmap + feature voting system, but with an intelligence layer that tries to understand the context behind feedback (yes, it is a constant improvement of teaching the system).

Instead of only counting votes, the system analyzes comments and feedback signals to help identify patterns and priorities.

The goal is simple: Help product builders prioritize features with better signal, not just noise.

Current features: - Public roadmap with feature voting - Context-aware feedback collection - AI-assisted prioritization insights - Changelog and roadmap transparency - Simple embed / hosted roadmap

The target users are: - Indie SaaS founders - WordPress plugin developers - small product teams

I built it because I wanted something I would actually use for my own products.

Still early. I'm still working on many things. In fact our product roadmap is the show-and-tell of the product.

I would love feedback from builders here.
