Show HN: Smartshare.social – AI tool to automate Instagram content creation&post
Hi HN,
I built Smartshare.social, an AI-powered tool that fully automates Instagram content creation and scheduling. It's designed for busy founders, creators, marketers, and small businesses who want to stay active on Instagram without spending hours creating posts.
What it does: Smartshare handles the entire Instagram workflow:
Generates post ideas
Creates visuals with AI
Schedules and publishes automatically
Once you set it up, it runs on autopilot—no more last-minute scrambling to post or staring at a blank page.
Key Features: AI Image Generator – Type a topic and prompt, get a ready-to-post image.
Smart Scheduling – Set recurring schedules (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
Post Preview Alerts – Get notified 12 hours before a post goes live, with an option to regenerate.
Fully Hands-Off – Set once and forget.
Built for Agencies/Devs – Supports multiple accounts, API & webhook integration.
Example: Say you sell fishing gear. You can automate:
Weekly tips with AI-generated visuals
Holiday-themed posts
Monthly product highlights via API
Who it's for: Creators and small businesses who want consistent Instagram presence
Marketing agencies managing multiple clients
Solo founders scaling content with minimal effort
Check it out: https://smartshare.social
I’d love your feedback. What would make this more useful to you?
Thanks!

Show HN: Abra Actions – Plug-in AI assistant that executes front end functions
Hey HN! I built abra-actions, an open-source TypeScript SDK that lets you add a natural language assistant to your app that actually runs real functions you define. You register frontend functions, and Abra connects them to an assistant powered by an LLM. When a user types something, Abra figures out the right function to call and parameters to attach, just like clicking a button and it runs on your own infrastructure with your existing logging, security, and permissions. Setup takes about 5 minutes. Works best with TypeScript + React. Useful for internal tools, admin dashboards, or anywhere you’ve got scattered UI and want to simplify it. Would love to hear thoughts or feedback especially if you’re building internal dashboards, complex UX flows, or anything you think this would useful for! https://abra-actions.com GitHub: https://github.com/abra-actions/abra

Show HN: Tariff Calculator for Amazon
I made a simple tariff calculator extension for Amazon.
It queries gemini flash 2.0 to determine the category, and then matches it with the corresponding tariff category.
Fun quick hack – it does brick a little – but the majority of the code was cobbled by a first pass of Claude Code
