Show HN: Hacker News Menu Bar App for Raycast – View Stories over N Points

Hacker News - Mon, 04/28/2025 - 2:02am

I wanted a way to get notified about high-engagement stories on HN (e.g., 500+ points), so I built this Raycast menubar extension. It uses the HN API to filter and display top stories right from your menu bar.

It was quick to build - just half a day.

Show HN: A tool for building OCR business solutions

Hacker News - Mon, 04/28/2025 - 1:49am

Hi HN:

Recently I developed a simple OCR tool. The basic idea is that it can be used as a framework to help developers build their own OCR solutions. I hope it will be useful to you.

Show HN: Cohesyve (Agentic AI to scale e-com brands with data driven decisions)

Hacker News - Mon, 04/28/2025 - 1:36am

Hey folks! Excited to share something we've been working on at Cohesyve. Built primarily to serve fast scaling e-commerce brands, Cohesyve does three key things:

(1) Unify reporting across various sales and marketing channels (2) Enable automations across the e-commerce stack (e.g. Stop underforming meta ads automatically) and (3) Identify gaps and opportunities in the business using AI (e.g. prepare a cross platform inventory replenishment plan to better manage inventory)

We're currently piloting with brands in the US and India. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Building Personal Digital Twins for Health Optimisation and Drug Simulation

Hacker News - Mon, 04/28/2025 - 1:35am

Hi HN,

We’re working on BioReplica, a platform that lets you create a digital replica of your own biology, based on your DNA, medical records, wearable data, and physiological metrics. Why? Right now, if you want to know how a supplement, diet, or exercise protocol will affect you, you usually have to experiment on yourself and hope for the best. No two bodies respond the same way, but personalization is still mostly guesswork. BioReplica is an early attempt to change that. We build a personal biological model, a simulation that lets you test "what if?" scenarios safely before trying them in real life.

Examples:

"If I start taking NMN, will my inflammation markers likely improve or worsen?"

"Would intermittent fasting affect my heart health risk, based on my baseline data?"

"Is this new nootropic likely to interact badly with my genetics or medications?"

Instead of generic advice, you can start seeing predictions based on you, your genome, your health history, your day-to-day physiology.

We’re very early. Right now the simulations are basic, focused mainly on lifestyle and supplement interventions. But over time, the idea is to make it richer, more data inputs, better modeling, higher accuracy.

Caveats:

Biology is still messy, and simulations are probabilistic, not certainties.

The platform isn't diagnostic or a substitute for real medicine (and shouldn’t be).

Getting the modeling right is hard, and we’re very upfront about that. The long term goal is for these replica's to be used for pharma simulations. In clinical trials today, most failures happen late, billions spent, and sometimes only then do we learn that a drug doesn’t work or has hidden risks.

Still, we believe even imperfect simulations, if used carefully, can help people make smarter decisions about their health.

If this idea resonates (or if you see flaws we should be thinking about), we’d love feedback. Learn more on https://bioreplica.ai/landing
