yangikan — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 18:09:06 +0000

Ask HN: What is some software that you wish existed?

yangikan — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:09:11 +0000

What is a type of software, app, or tool that you wish someone would create because it doesn’t currently exist—or because the existing options aren’t good enough? It could also be some kind of hardware which is doable with current technology, but doesn't exist.
