I built a 2-min quiz that shows you how bad you are at estimating
I've gotten to the point in my career where I now make strategic decisions often (hiring, firing, choosing what equipment to go with, etc.), as well as in my personal life where I need to strongly weigh my options for a big purchase or investment. I found a not-so-surprising parallel between the two as these decisions "resolved." Am I making good decisions or am I getting lucky? Did some research, read some books, and realized I should get in the habit of tracking my decision process. That quickly turned into the idea that formed Convexly. The landing page is a 10-question calibration quiz where you assign a confidence level to statements drawn from a rotating pool of 100 (working on making the pool larger) and you get a Brier score back instantly. No signup required, and you can share your scores right away. If you find it interesting, you can create a free account where you can track your decisions with probability estimates, resolve them over time, and get calibration curves that show if you are over/underconfident. From what I've seen so far, users are overconfident when they say they're between 70-90% sure about something. For the math: Beta-PERT distributions for the payoff modeling, Kelly criterion for the position sizing, signal detection theory for separating skill from randomness. On the coding side: FastAPI with NumPy/SciPy, frontend in Next.js and Supabase. So far this has been a solo project of mine. If you want to see all the features use code SHOWHN for 30 days of full access, no credit card required. Curious if anything about your score surprised you after taking the quiz.

A few years ago I made a pen plotter attachment for Prusa MK4 (https://www.printables.com/model/827264-pen-plotter-attachme...) and at the time I didn't have a good way to turn artwork into G-code for it, and I put the project on ice for a while. I recently wanted to dabble in line art again and made a small browser app to make it easier. As agentic AI tools of 2026 are quite addictive, it rather quickly grew into something quite a bit more - an integrated browser CAD/CAM for pen plotters that covers everything from importing existing artwork, creating artwork from scratch, preparing for plotting and hardware integration. It includes some off-beat features like a Logo interpreter for turtle art and Graves RNN for handwriting synthesis and in addition to 3D printer pretending to be pen plotters it now also supports actual pen plotters based on EBB (AxiDraw) and GRBL firmwares through Web Serial. If you own an AxiDraw or a GRBL plotter, I'd very much appreciate it you gave it a try and give feedback. As I don't own those, I did all the testing with a hardware mock on STM32, so I am not sure how well it works attached to an actual plotter.

Hello HN! I'm the author of Ant, a JavaScript ecosystem built around a runtime with its own JavaScript engine. Ant also includes a package manager, the ants.land package registry, a platform for deploying and hosting applications, and Ant Desktop for building native desktop apps with web technologies, similar to Electron. The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while remaining compatible with the wider JavaScript ecosystem. It's still early, and I'd appreciate any feedback on the overall direction or what you'd like to see from an e2e alternative to the existing JavaScript stacks. P.S. I’ve shared Ant here before as a runtime; since then, it has grown into the broader ecosystem you see today.
