Hi HN! I built CodeTrackr, an open-source, privacy-first alternative to WakaTime.

It tracks coding activity and provides real-time analytics, global leaderboards, and a plugin system. The goal is to give developers useful productivity insights while keeping full ownership of their data.

Key features: - WakaTime-compatible API (works with existing editor extensions) - Real-time dashboard using WebSockets - Global and language leaderboards - Self-hostable (Docker included) - Plugin system using JavaScript snippets - GitHub and GitLab login

Stack: Rust + Axum + PostgreSQL + Redis + Vanilla JS

Repository: https://github.com/livrasand/CodeTrackr

I would really appreciate feedback, especially regarding: - security - architecture - potential areas for improvement

If you're interested, you're also welcome to build plugins for the plugin store or create IDE extensions for your favorite editors.

Thanks for taking a look!

PS: I used ChatGPT to translate this; my native language is Spanish, and my English is limited.

Hi HN,

I built openEHR-CLI, an open source command line tool to work with openEHR artifacts (archetypes, templates, etc.).

The idea was to make it easier to automate tasks that usually require GUI tools, such as validating templates or processing openEHR resources in scripts and CI pipelines.

One interesting feature is that the CLI also exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This allows the tool to be used by AI clients that support MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), so AI assistants can interact with openEHR artifacts programmatically.

Examples of things it can be used for:

- validating templates and artifacts

- inspecting openEHR models

- automating checks in CI pipelines

- exposing openEHR tooling to AI assistants through MCP

The project is open source and feedback is welcome.

I'm building a small experiment called Tasda.

The idea: places have their own AI and you can talk to them while exploring a city.

I'm opening a small Android beta and looking for around 10–20 curious testers.

I'm autistic and ADHD, and I kept running into the same wall with AI tools- not knowing how to prompt them in a way that matched how my brain actually works. I'd have a real idea or need but couldn't get the output to reflect it. So I built BottomUp.

It's a free, no-login tool that walks you through a structured process to clarify your thinking before you prompt an AI. Instead of starting with a blank box, you answer a few focused questions and it builds the prompt from the bottom up — hence the name.

It's built especially for neurodivergent people, but honestly anyone who gets frustrated staring at a blank prompt field might find it useful.

No account needed, runs in the browser: https://www.bottomuptool.com

Would love feedback — especially from anyone who's struggled with the "I know what I want but can't explain it to the AI" problem.

Hatice polls your issue tracker (Linear or GitHub Issues), spins up isolated workspaces, and dispatches Claude Code agents to solve each issue end-to-end — dispatch, multi-turn execution, retry with exponential backoff, reconciliation, and real-time observability.

Inspired by OpenAI's "Harness Engineering" manifesto and Symphony (Elixir/OTP), rebuilt from scratch in TypeScript with the Claude Code Agent SDK. Key differences from Symphony: - GitHub Issues support (not just Linear) - SSE real-time dashboard (no WebSocket dependency) - Per-session cost tracking in USD - Fine-grained tool control (allow/disallow specific tools) - MCP server tools for agents to query Linear/GitHub APIs directly - Single WORKFLOW.md file configures everything 4,148 lines of source, 328 tests, zero type errors. Every line written by AI agents. Demo video in the README shows hatice building a presentation website autonomously — 5 Linear issues dispatched in parallel, each agent working in isolated workspaces with live hot-reload.

Hi HN, I built this because when I was considering relocating, I couldn't find a salary comparison tool that went deeper than city-level averages. A $100K salary in "New York" means very different things depending on whether you live in Manhattan or Queens.

What it does: enter your current city, a target city, and your salary. It calculates an equivalent salary adjusted for cost of living, local taxes, rent, and currency exchange — down to the neighborhood level.

Some things that make it different:

3,400+ neighborhoods across 182 cities, not just city averages Single and family mode (adds childcare, larger apartments) Side-by-side tax breakdowns by country 67 currencies with real-time conversion Also has a Retire Abroad calculator for retirement planning The data comes from a combination of public sources (OECD, local government stats, housing indices) cross-referenced and normalized to a cost-of-living index where New York = 100.

No signup, no paywall, no ads. Would love feedback on the methodology or data accuracy — especially from people who've actually relocated between cities we cover.
