CatchAll
Hey HN, Artem and Maksym from NewsCatcher here. Some of you know us as we started six years ago as two freshly graduated economics students who decided to build the best news API product. We started NewsCatcher thinking the market for news APIs was so big that we could build a self-serve platform and get millions of $29 users. Obviously, it was a wrong assumption. We pivoted to serve enterprises and had success with it. But we are hackers at heart, and we want to serve hackers. We haven't used our Launch HN yet, so consider this our smoke test. We're looking for feedback and power users rather than revenue. So, happy to provide enough credits for any HN user who finds CatchAll useful. CatchAll is built for one thing: retrieving every matching event from the web. The use cases that fit it are ones where missing events have real consequences — funding and M&A monitoring, regulatory and compliance feeds (FDA approvals, SEC filings, policy changes), cybersecurity incident tracking, supply chain signals. If your pipeline consumes structured records and the answer to your query is "find all of them," that's where it works. It's not the right tool for small, bounded queries that return 5 high-precision results. The 15-minute job time is a direct consequence of the pipeline depth: analyze, fetch, cluster, validate, extract, deduplicate. You're not getting a ranked list of links; you're getting a verified record set. Our latest benchmark run: https://newscatcherapi.com/blog-posts/web-search-api-benchma...

Open-weight OCR got so cheap I had to share it
This was not supposed to become a product. When PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 dropped, independent benchmarks put it at the top of document parsing models. I had to try it. I needed a provider, but there simply isn't one ready for production that I would trust. So i set one up myself. I assumed that even after getting it running, serving a vision-language model would be expensive. It turns out the opposite is true. Once I had it running properly, the cost was absurdly low. At proper GPU utilization, the cost is only around $1 per 1,000 pages. The nearest competitors are either much lower quality (Azure Read) or absurdly expensive (Extend or Reducto). Even Mistral OCR 4 which is really good and pretty cheap is still 4x more expensive. So I had to share it. I made the endpoitns public, and vibe-coded a simple dashboard. Let me know what you think!
Leet Robotics: Learn robotics and ROS2 with hands-on courses
Hi all, I've just launched Leet Robotics: a platform to learn robotics hands-on, with a full ROS2 workspace that runs in the browser (Jazzy, Gazebo Harmonic, Foxglove, VS Code) - no install required. The platform also has room for sharing projects and simulation assets as it grows. Our first course is live now: Intro to ROS2 (free to read). The course teaches skills ranging from building your first node to a capstone project of a robot touring a museum world, with every lesson runnable in the online workspace (free accounts get an hour of workspace time daily - enough to follow the course). Would love feedback from this community: on the course, the workspace experience, and what courses to build next.
