I kept waking up tired even after 7 or 8 hours of sleep.

turns out that timing matters just as much as duration. If your alarm goes off in the middle of a cycle, you feel awful regardless of how long you slept.

So I built this. You enter your bedtime, it factors in about 15 minutes to fall asleep, then shows you wake-up times aligned to the end of each 90-minute sleep cycle.

These times are when it’s easiest to wake from.

Just a web page I load up every few evenings now when starting at the clock at 2am or have to get up earlier..


If you've ever stored JSON locally and had the schema change over time, you know the pain of trying to keep it up-to-date as your application changes. You end up with defensive checks everywhere, or data that silently breaks when the shape changes underneath you.

I've faced this problem a few times lately, so I built json-up to handle this with a migration chain. Define versioned steps with Zod schemas, and the library walks your data forward from whatever version it's at, validating at each step with full TypeScript inference.

Zero runtime deps, works with Zod v3 and v4, and three distinct error types for precise failure handling.

Have a poke around!


Hey everyone,

My friend and co-founder just released version 1.0 of Nanocoder, a CLI tool he's been building, to make it easier to locally code agentically, with large language models through Ollama and OpenRouter.

This is all in your terminal, to offer a similar experience to Claude Code and Gemini CLI.

Right now it’s very much MVP stage - works well enough to be useful, but rough around the edges. The goal is to add more features (better context handling, more tools, improved UX), and make it truly awesome for coding work.

I am a big believer in privacy and like Will, I'm a big believer in AI being open and for the people, not locked behind subscriptions or proprietary APIs. That’s why it’s open source and we're hoping to build it as a community.

If you think this is cool, I’d be grateful for GitHub stars and contributors to help shape where it goes next. Feedback, feature ideas, bug reports - all welcome!

For those who haven't seen this yet and live near, around or in London:

There's a meeting planned at Monzo for Hacker News readers to discuss science, tech, and business.

More info can be found on the Meetup page https://meetu.ps/e/Ltqdb/V6wJH/i

(I'm not an organiser, just know this is a great opportunity to meet a wide range of local experts and readers in-person)


Incredibly, I think a job posting with the same end goal has just been posted on Code Mentor, by a profile made only in June (2022). I could be wrong, but just in case - I took a screengrab to share with you all (find here: https://i.imgur.com/up7sMg3.png). In case I'm wrong, I've blocked out the profile in this screenshot - however if Connor wishes to investigate, I have saved more details.


Hacker News is a brilliant resource to discover new digital tech innovations and research that solve / progress problems we know of.

I'm wondering what platforms our community recommends for finding new problems to solve?

Heya there!

We're evolving together a server-side production checklist for digital products geared towards web, and I'm super keen to see what our community here would add or change!

By no means is this checklist complete - can a checklist ever be complete? - but it certainly can be extended!

Please drop your feedback below on the Gist (or here) with any thoughts or edits :-)

Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing what our community at Hacker News has to say!

Warm regards, Matt
