Hey HN<p>Ex YC&#x2F;Google engineer turned indie maker here - excited to share something I just shipped.<p>The System Data in my Mac was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally.<p>So I built FreeUpMyMac an offline, lifetime Mac cleaner that clear junk with 1 click. And helps you visualize your storage with TreeMap&#x2F;Sunburst.<p>Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me.<p>Would love your feedback<p>Tunde

Hi HN,<p>Most group chats end up as endless scroll. Once a discussion gets interesting, context disappears, replies cross, and ideas get lost.<p>I built Qonvo as an experiment in a different direction: a realtime group chat where each message becomes a node, and replies create connections, so the conversation grows into a live visual map instead of a timeline.<p>How it works:<p>- Share a room link (no accounts) - Chat with 2 or more people - Messages appear instantly as nodes - Replying creates visible links - Shared #tags lightly connect related ideas - You can click any node to explore that part of the discussion<p>Rooms are temporary and auto-expire<p>You can export the conversation as JSON<p>There’s no AI trying to “understand” the conversation- the structure comes directly from how people reply and interact.<p>This started as a personal frustration with brainstorming and group discussions that feel rich in the moment but impossible to revisit later.<p>Curious whether this feels useful, distracting, or somewhere in between. Would love feedback on:<p>- whether the map actually helps thinking - what kinds of conversations this works best for - where it breaks down<p>Live demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qonvo.xyz" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qonvo.xyz</a><p>Happy to answer questions and explain the architecture if useful.

I recently shared a real case where DataMatrix-based automation exposed counterfeit pharma products across borders.

The industry is kind of in a bad spot, and I dont think its due to AI or Vibe Coding, because thats still niche. I am talking about the general sense of the market.<p>We are producing too much software on the web, yet nothing seems to work well. There is no creativity on the web as sites just look the same and even if we make a creative site, its not possible to get any traffic when google hogs it via AI summary or people dont even ask google about stuff in other cases.<p>Its now increasingly hard to make any money on the internet, we used to have blogs and individual sites making some money for the author, but now thats also not possible. Even if we dont talk about money, the websites all look the same, ask similar amount of money, in a similar way. I mean how many subscription services we think a user can have? At least some mobile apps give lifetime deals but on the desktop web thats increasingly rare. Is every site just a copy of a copy of copy of another site now? This started a long back but with AI its gonna be taken to an extreme level but I am hoping in few years we may find a way to break the cycle.
