Hope, 1-on-1 AI Tutor for kids Grades 2-10 learning math

Hey HN! My friend and I have been working for the last 3 months on HOPE, a platform that provides students with 1 on 1 math support to improve their confidence and teach them by doing and asking questions. We would really appreciate anyone who's down to try it out with their kids and give their thoughts.

Science for Kids

There’s a really good kids’ science magazine called Oyla, but it’s aimed at kids 12+ I subscribed a couple of years ago thinking that it would be fine for my son (then 8yo, but an advanced reader) but, even now (10yo), the articles are too dense for him and don’t hold his interest. Last year, the same company launched ‘Oyla Junior’ aimed at younger kids ~8yo. But I read a couple of the articles and I think they’re too oversimplified. I wanted something in between, but didn’t find anything suitable online. So I used AI to create something, and did a bunch of iterations to tune the sentence length, the flow of the articles, how much info is introduced in each paragraph etc. I still want to make it better, but it’s already good enough for my son to read.

Spltty

I built Spltty, a Ruby CLI for tracking shared expenses, custom splits, and settlements using plain Markdown files. The article explains how it evolved from a Claude-managed folder into a CLI

ClickBench Playground

I created it mostly for testing and exploration, but the main reason was that it became possible after previous work.

AuditBadger

Hi, Wanted to share something I've been working on for over a year. AuditBadger is a compliance management platform that uses AI to write policies (there are underlying "templates" with basic requirements), rewrite controls (or trust service criterions) to match the company context, help figure out your own controls, does initial risk assessment, and business continuity planning (which at least gives you an example of how the process should look like). Fun fact - I wanted to share this a year ago, but then I spotted something similar here. The most common comment was about lacking the SOC 2 report, so I decided to pick the fight. I got SOC 2 Type I first, and then recently finished SOC 2 Type II using the tool alone. It took some time - both learning the process, the SOC 2 gotchas, and implementing automatic evidence collection. We're now adding support for the European AI Act and NIS 2; HIPAA is already there (though it requires me to explicitly enable it for customers who want to test it), and CyberEssentials and ENS are coming later this year. The platform is now complete, but my business partner (ISO 27001 Lead Auditor) and I are still dog-fooding it. Everything we build is either based on our own pain points or our customers'—most of them joined our Slack where we try to help them if they get stuck. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them all.
