I made Alyx as a caffeine playground for iOS 26. It's actually been on my phone for a few years, but I decided to pretty it up and ship it. If you're keen on iOS 26, these are some things I am proud of:

- Visual Look Up: You can scan coffee and it'll use AI to figure out the contents. This was a new API that iOS 26 brought and I thought this was kinda fun.

- Logging with AI: Apple shipped Foundation Models on iOS 26, and while they are far less capable that flagship models, they are great for bite sized tasks. Plus, they support tool calling - which means they can fire up tools that you give them when they are generating responses. So, I feed it caffeine data and people can type in what they're drinking, and it'll give you a reasonable estimation of how much caffeine is in it.

- Tons of Siri stuff: If you're into automation, every single thing in the app works as an action in Shortcuts. This was a lot of work, but was a goal from the start. Even small things, like changing the app's theme, can be done in Shortcuts.

It turned out pretty good I think! Excited that some people seem to dig it too. I never know how to make these Show HN things super interesting, but if you like caffeine logging and have iOS, I think you'll like this.

Another awesome project that does this for Apple's docs: https://llm.codes/

Also, Apple has started shipping docs like this, too. They are a bit hidden but you can find them here:

Back when we had 3D Touch, there was UIForce which did this. I still lament the loss of 3D Touch to this day :-(

I’m at a point my life and career where I’d never entertain working those hours. Missed basketball games, seeing kids come home from school, etc. I do think when I first started out, and had no kiddos, maybe some crazy sprints like that would’ve been exhilarating. No chance now though

The only that hasn't changed in this industry is that engineers apparently can't stand new, green beginners getting into the field.

"They ship buggy, insecure messes" "They don't know how to fix what AI gave them" etc etc etc

Right. Like that same thing hasn't been happening literally during the entire existence of programming. I, for one, welcome the vibe coders. I hope it grows their interest in the field and encourages them to go deeper and learn more. Will some be lazy and not even try? Of course! Will some get curious and learn the ins and outs? Absolutely.

New comment by jordanmorgan10 in "The blissful Zen of a good side project"

jordanmorgan10 — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 13:35:39 +0000

The interesting thing with my side projects is that they are ever so close to being a full-on business, but they are slightly under the threshold where I could go all in (stay at home wife, three kids, American healthcare costs). So, it’s hard to think of them as “side” projects when in reality they’ve become a “side” business. It’s like I have no choice but to take them a bit seriously, though I do hope to find the time for a “love of the game” side project. Great post.

They have their stuff and, I’m not sure how to word it, but like affiliated channels or other channels within their “network” - such Ryan Trayhan (my spelling is off there)

Yup - our kids use it and it’s the only “YouTube” kinda thing that’s worked for our family.

A basketball shot chart. I’m about done with it, but one thing I was happy to have figured - out coaches often want to tag a shot as a particular type. So like a three pointer, mid range, or whatever else it may be. With my shot chart, it automatically tags the shot based on where they added it, which I think is pretty neat.

Yes, I agree. Love the college game. I think people don’t realize how talented NBA players really are, which sounds crazy to type - but I believe its true.

Yes, I did read the article. If you feel so confident about your predictions and are so sure of the author’s claims, why not put a bet down on that.

While you’re at it, do it for “another 5” and let me know how you get on.

This reads as someone who looks at data but doesn’t actually play basketball, coach basketball or generally know basketball. Numbers can only tell you so much, and 2025 Celtics and the rise of Steph have led to more 3s but the sport of basketball is not as predictable as the author suggests. For example, look at the college game, which doesn’t reflect this trend as much as the NBA does.
