Show HN: Check how many trees you need to offset your carbon footprint
Hi everyone!
Last year I posted about my environmental project, but then it didn’t get much attention here. Now, as we’ve made some progress and improved our website a bit using users’ feedback, there is an occasion to give it another chance!
This time I’d like to focus on the feature that allows you to check how many trees are really needed to be planted to offset one’s carbon footprint, based on emissions per capita. It includes trees’ survivability rate, as not every seedling will get a chance to mature. It is often an overlooked factor.
You can also start gradually planting a whole forest and track your impact by choosing your planting plan. As for planting, we restore broadleaf forests with environmental purposes and not industrial plantations.
Since last year, several municipalities have expressed interest in partnering with us, pledging enough land for over 10 million trees for our project, and there is a potential for much more! We’ve also got some subscribers from across the US and the EU. Now we are looking to bring in more people to plant with us, to make it happen in a reasonable timeframe, so I’d immensely appreciate if you decide to join and spread the word!
We’ll be also further developing our app and website.

Ask HN: How do you manage client retainers? Built a tool, curious if useful
I run an app agency, and over time we ran into a lot of pain managing client retainers.
We have 15+ clients on different setups (some hourly, some fixed monthly) and were juggling Slack, ClickUp, Toggl, Stripe, and email. It became a mess to track hours, assign tasks, and keep clients updated without spending way too much time on manual updates.
We ended up building an internal tool to handle retainer tracking, team assignments, and automated client updates. It saved us a lot of time and improved communication and built trust.
Now I’m wondering if this is just our problem or something others struggle with too.
Would love to hear: • How do you manage retainers or ongoing client work? • What’s been your biggest headache? • Have you found tools that work well, or are you hacking it together with multiple tools?
For context, I set up a public version at retainkit.io
Would love to hear your mind even if you are a freelancer!
Not trying to pitch, just curious if it’s useful beyond our agency.
Thanks!

Ask HN: Theory to industry: where do academics fit in?
I'm a young researcher with a background in abstract physics and mathematics, specializing in areas like probability theory, spectral analysis, network theory, and statistical/quantum mechanics.
I'm considering transitioning to industry, but my coding experience is limited to basic Python. I’m concerned that, with a strong theoretical background but limited engineering skills, I might struggle to find a good fit. Additionally, with the tightening job market, the abundance of remote talent, and the rise of tools like Copilot, I’m wondering how these factors might impact my prospects.
For those who’ve made a similar transition—or who have hired people with this kind of background—how did it go? What roles or paths have worked best for you?
