Show HN: Ahoy_analytics, live analytics gem for Rails app

tuyenhx — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:03:23 +0000

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so I just give it a try.

Here's the context:

I just finished building my website to sell my software. Then I realized I had a big problem: I have no idea what's happening on my site, where people are visiting from, how they interact, etc.

I've used Shopify a lot, and I'm addicted to the Shopify live view. I check it almost every hour when I open my phone.

I looked for something simple to add to my site. I don't need anything complex, Google Analytics 4 feels way too complicated for me, and PostHog's dashboard is the same. Just too much.

Then I found Plausible. Their dashboard makes perfect sense to me, simple and easy to understand.

Honestly, I could just use Shopify + Plausible and be done with it. But paying a monthly subscription for a small app like this makes me hesitate. I have tons of little apps like this that don't generate revenue, lol. So I wanted something I could plug directly into my Rails admin panel to check stats easily.

I did some research in the Rails world to see what's available. There's Ahoy, but it's only the backend part. I also found Ahoy Captain for the UI, but it seems abandoned.

So I decided to take a shot at building my own analytics engine. That way, for future projects, I can just plug it in and be done.

Here is a live demo, you can check: https://bulkcrop.ai/admin/analytics and live view here: https://bulkcrop.ai/admin/analytics/live

Show HN: InpaintKit – A plugin let you use latest AI models in Photoshop

tuyenhx — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 10:48:26 +0000

Recently, many people have been building new tools around the latest AI image editing models like Google Nano Banana and Seedream 4, mostly for use on the web.

Personally, I still prefer working in my familiar environment, Photoshop. So I decided to write a plugin that lets me use these models directly inside Photoshop, following a workflow similar to "Generate Fill."

I've been using it with my team, and it works well so far. Because of rapid development, it currently only supports Photoshop 24.2.0 and above. A few teammates still use CS6, so I plan to add support for CS6 in the future.

With the latest Photoshop release, I noticed they added Nano Banana too. But I think my plugin still has an advantage when it comes to the speed of adopting new models, so I believe there's still a place for it.

You can have a look at a quick demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryXX23Hjtxs

Yes. I do. I enjoy ruby so much.

After 10 years working with Java. Now I dont wanna go back anymore.

It is about your taste and philosophy. I dont think it related skill issue.

The key is putting your SaaS in front of people who need it. Here are something I did: - Find a group that your potential customers there (on Reddit, Facebook,) ... post your work there. - Create content on IG/Tiktok/Facebook/... - Final is using paid ads FB ads/Google Ads/...

They call these works are "marketing".

2 weeks and $500. Everyday is around $35. Based on my experience, it is quite a reasonable number.

Congratz Tony! He has been very good at creating products for years. Since he was a student. The way he studied, the way he worked, just so different from the rest of us.

It feels so good that your story in the front page of HN. 45k is not a big number for HN crowd, but it is a fortune here in my country.

Keep going my friend!

P/s: I am his classmate at the university.

I had exactly the same problem. Recently, with the help of ChatGPT (just free version). When I didnt know anything, I just asked. The result was pretty good.

I also wrote stupid code first in my own version, and copied + pasted to chatGPT, asked it to improve it, or rewrite in ruby on rails style. And wow!! The rewrote version even went with explanation.

Beside that, you can use Rails console to test.

Old reddit has less bugs too. First time, using reddit, I used the new version. But my internet connection was too bad, this caused a lot of problems with the new version.

When I knew about the old version, I tried. And wow, almost every bugs I had with the new one went away. Faster load too.

At first, I thought it was a python framework from making desktop UI. As I remember, there is a python framework with almost similar name.

Congratz on the first stable version!

P/s: as I am getting older, I am just too tired for new frontend stuffs.

I can feel you. I was in the same situation.

In the end, my team broken up. Cofounders (my best friends) left. We are not friend anymore.

I closed that company and start a new one. Luckily, things are better now. Dont outsource sale, someone need to do that. That is a hard lession

So what do we pay for except computing power?

Ease of scale? Ease of development cost? Or other marketing material?

This is what I am using right now. It is quick for prototype. Saved a lot of time.

I dont really like the Admin panel. It has performance issues when we have more than 100k rows of data (due to the limitation of Administrate). We had to customize it to make it run normally.

Admin panel gems in Rails world have bad UI with a lot of problems.
