Software engineer working on ad systems and trying to understand why ads get rejected.

Spent the past few years running campaigns and debugging patterns across ad copy, landing pages, and funnel structure.

Currently building tools to detect those patterns before ads go live.

alexovch··on Show HN: WhyThere.life – Compare cities side-by-side to decide where to move
Interesting idea. Comparing cities is usually scattered across a bunch of sites. What data sources are you using for things like cost of living and quality of life?
alexovch··on Show HN: Littlebird – Screenreading is the missing link in AI
Agree with this direction. Most tools assume structured inputs, but real workflows are messy and visual. Feels like screen understanding is still very underexplored compared to text.
alexovch··on Show HN: ProofShot – Give AI coding agents eyes to verify the UI they build
This is actually interesting. Feels like we’re moving from “generate UI” to “validate UI,” which is a completely different problem. Curious how you handle edge cases where something looks correct but breaks in interaction?
alexovch··on Push events into a running session with channels
This is one of those features that sounds small but actually changes how you structure things.

Not having to restart or rebuild context every time makes a big difference once systems get more stateful.

alexovch··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
Feels like one of those changes that makes sense from a security perspective, but will mostly hurt smaller devs who rely on sideloading.

Curious how this will play out for niche apps that aren’t on the Play Store.

alexovch··on Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?
Love this kind of “looks simple, actually not” problem.
