Looking for builders who quit healthcare because of its misaligned incentives

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 12:18am

I've met a lot of young ex-founders who wanted to create positive change in healthcare, but were burnt out by healthcare's convoluted incentive systems. I think if we can band together enough young people fired up about realigning healthcare to, once again, serve the patient we can actually build something cool

Show HN: Texture: Create an MCP Server from Any API

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 12:09am

I am releasing this tool, if you have feedback please include it below. I will be writing a write-up about this tool if it gets enough usage.

This tool creates MCP Servers from APIs in a no-code fashion, and hosts them for you. Kinda like a wix.com for MCP servers, but also meant a little more for more people who know what APIs are. Above all, it is a tool to get started playing around more with MCP servers.

I have had great fun creating servers for all sorts of wacky apis and using them.

Again, this is very bare-bones so I will be adding features according to the popularity of the tool.

I built a pixel art editor after playing Octopath Traveler II

Hacker News - Thu, 05/01/2025 - 11:39pm

After playing Octopath Traveler II, I was really inspired by its art style and decided to create my own pixel drawing app from scratch. It's still in the early stages, but it already supports basic drawing, undo/redo, and a clean UI focused on pixel-perfect design.

I plan to add frame-by-frame animation support in the next version.

You're welcome to try it out and share your thoughts! If you like the project, a on GitHub would mean a lot to me.

Is Kubernetes Fun?

Hacker News - Thu, 05/01/2025 - 11:29pm

I really like the idea of making lil apps that run & restart automatically on a group of machines (maybe just 1)

Has anyone learned about Kubernetes for fun & do you recommend it?

Ask HN: How do you think of B2B startup ideas in era of LLMs?

Hacker News - Thu, 05/01/2025 - 11:20pm

LLMs have got darn good with writing code. Vibe coding (stupid term imo) or not, most people are getting assistance for writing code. I concur that writing code is not the most important thing in B2B but it surely makes hell of a difference for technical product.

For example, take a company that does contract management software. Common functionality is upload document, eSign, validate signature, and chain of record, integration with other tools where documents might be hosted.

When I reach out to people to validate ideas like this, I basically get no people to respond. They already have a solution or they are not interested. Michael Siebel talks about finding people whose hair are on fire and people who are early adopters for startups. I dont have network such as YC or others.

How do you validate ideas and get started for situation like this? Where do you find people to talk to that are early adopters and might be willing to give you feedback or their money?

Curious to know how has your outlook has changed with advent of LLMs?
