To add to this for youtube the unhook extension is great to block everything other than search and playing vids

Then I permanently block youtube and reddit on phone. I've explored quite a few blockers - AppBlock for android is the best I've used / has no bugs on my now older s21.

Show HN: Mealplannr – turn YouTube chef videos into weekly meal plans

nullandvoid — Tue, 12 May 2026 18:40:32 +0000

I built Mealplannr because I wanted to cook more food from chefs I like, without spending 30–60 minutes every week planning meals and writing shopping lists.

The app lets you follow YouTube chefs, find videos with usable ingredients in the description, and save recipes into your own cookbook.

From there, you can generate a weekly meal plan and shopping list. The list is auto-categorised, deduplicated, and can remove common pantry items. There’s also an optional weekly email that generates a plan and list and sends them to your inbox, mixing new discoveries with recipes you already saved.

I now use it for my own weekly shop. It has cut planning down to a few minutes, while helping me add fresh recipes to my regular rotation.

It’s still early, but I’d love feedback on the core workflow.

You can head straight to chef section via https://mealplannr.io/discover (default lands on mealplannr)

I can't relate to this need to fully explore and then document everyone's history - I can have a conversation for an evening and forget everything the next day, and I'm happy with that, the truly important things (to me) will distill themselves naturally.

A case of different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Now ready to release https://mealplannr.io. The end game is no/low touch weekly meal plans sent directly to your inbox, with meals from the chefs you follow - with none of the hassle around planning the meals, shopping list etc (which I spend hours doing every week).

An important feature for me was improving the recipe discovery experience, you can build a cookbook from chefs you follow on socials (youtube for now), or import from any source (Web, or take pic of cookbook etc) - it then has tight / easy integration into recipe lists.

Utilising GenAI to auto extract recipes, manage conversions, merge/categorise shopping lists etc - as-well as the actual recommendations engine.

If anyone is interested in beta testing / wants to have a chat I'll look out for replies, or message mealplannr@tomyeoman.dev

Makes sense and it's a new term for me so thanks for sharing :)

If I were to guess I imagine the downvotes are due to the use of an upvote being preferred over (albeit it well intentioned) comments of "well done" in HN threads (in order to keep signal to noise ratio high)

Sorry for the late reply - it just worked out the box via the GUI for me using Handy.

I've been using handy with parakeet on both Windows and mac, and have been very impressed.

Hoe does this compare?

"We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns"

Why would they ever make this statement, there's nothing to gain with that right?

One of my favourite reads for sure - I've been looking for similar reads since.

I enjoyed "the raw shark texts" after hearing it recommended - curious if you / anyone else has any other suggestions!

To repeat my comment from another thread:

Every interaction has different (in many cases real) "memories" driving the conversation, as-well as unique persona's / background information on the owner.

Is there a lot of noise, sure - but it much closer maps to how we, as humans communicate with each other (through memories of lived experienced) than just a LLM loop, IMO that's what makes it interesting.

I would say fairly substantially different for a few reasons:

- You can run any model, for example I'm running Kimi 2.5 not Claude

- Every interaction has different (likely real) memories driving the conversation, as-well as unique persona's / background information on the owner.

It much closer maps to how we, as humans communicate with each other (through memories of lived experienced) than just a LLM loop, IMO that's what makes it interesting.

Did anyone ever comment on reddit with an expectation of pay?

It's an open forum - similar to here, whatever I post I it's in the public forum and therefore I expect it to be used / remixed however anyone wants.

There is.. we don't need to see the exact same front page articles each week - it reduces the signal to noise ratio for regulars.

Show HN: Run a local LLM to analyse email for threats

nullandvoid — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 09:32:55 +0000

After seeing sophisticated phishing attempts slip through Gmail's filters, a friend and I built a browser extension that uses local AI to analyse emails for threats.

It runs entirely in your browser using web-llm, with any threat being clearly labelled with an explanation of why it's suspicious.

Still early days, but we'd love feedback from the HN community. Even if you're not comfortable installing it yet, we have screenshots showing how it works.

Safety critical (will kill someone if not bug free) code makes up <1% of what's shipped, safety clothes which must be of high quality else risk harm to someone make up a similarly small percent

Both will stay manual / require high level of review they're not what's being disrupted (at-least in near term) - it's the rest.
