New comment by rishikeshs in "A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones"

> On average, people replace their phone every four years. This is generally driven by people’s desire for a new device, including for the functionalities provided by new models.

This is so not true. I'm not replacing my phone because I want to. I'm replacing because your stupid updates break my phone and make it unusable. It's called Planned obsolescence

New comment by rishikeshs in "Do founders' political views affect how you see a product?"

Interesting! Yeah founder never imposed or brought those into the conversation

Do founders' political views affect how you see a product?

rishikeshs — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 10:36:23 +0000

There is a product I really like. Love using it, love tinkering with it, and I buy into the overall vision. Founder has also always been pretty respectful publicly.

But I recently came across some of their political views and now I just feel a bit weird about it. Nothing changed about the product, just how I feel.

Do you separate the product from the founder? Does this change whether you keep using something? Or only if it starts showing up in the product?

Don’t ask what the product is. It doesn’t matter and I’m not going to share.

Show HN: StackStats – Analytics tool for Substack writers, runs 100% locally

rishikeshs — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:19:03 +0000

Hi HN,

I've been writing on Substack for about 5 years with close to 3,000 subscribers. The platform has grown a lot but the analytics have barely changed, and there's still no API support.

I like to explore data, and Substack lets you export some analytics as CSVs from the creator dashboard. I've been doing that for a while, mostly with local scripts, but realized this could be useful to other writers as a simple local tool.

So I built StackStats. A better analytics app for Substack Writers.

You export your CSVs, point it at the folder, and everything populates. Growth sources, engagement scoring, cohort retention, bot-filtered open rates (GoogleImageProxy alone inflated my opens by ~51%), best day/hour to post, and more.

There's an optional AI feature for deeper insights. Totally optional, but why not go with the hype :D. You can use any provider (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter) or run Ollama fully offline. BYOK, no lock-in.

Built with Electron and vanilla JS. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. All data stays on your machine.

You can see a live demo with my actual newsletter data here: https://demo.stackstats.app

Happy to answer questions about the app!
