iddan··on The peaceful transfer of power in open source projects
Any concrete idea how to peruse this idea? I can’t think of any realistic one
iddan··on Garbage collection is useful
Which is garbage collection?
iddan··on Steam Frame
There you go https://www.sightful.com/
iddan··on Show HN: Suites – modern unit tests framework for TypeScript back ends
Suites has been such a help in my Nest.js projects. I can't tell you how many times we would run into issues because some mock was not properly configured. The amount boilerplate it's saving is life saving
iddan··on Why do AI models use so many em-dashes?
I’m now reading Pride and Prejudice (first edition released in 1813) and indeed there are many em dashes. It also includes language patterns the models didn’t pick up (vocabulary, to morrow instead of tomorrow)
iddan··on Focus Is Saying No

iddan··on Show HN: FlyCode – Recover Stripe payments by automatically using backup cards
Congrats of the launch! For which types of companies did you see the FlyCode model most successful? What are the results for the average SaaS? I’ve been evaluating a few solutions but it seems like some of em are mostly focused on e-commerce
iddan··on South Korea's President says US investment demands would spark financial crisis
Arrest of illegal workers that is
iddan··on Launch HN: Recall.ai (YC W20) – API for meeting recordings and transcripts
Congrats on the launch! I'm working on a new tool for startups sales (https://closer.so) and in many customer interviews the point of not wanting the bot in the meeting kept coming up. I love how Recall keeps brining frontier tech as APIs
iddan··on Show HN: Magic links – Get video and dev logs without installing anything
Shouldn’t it run continuously for my QA and devs?
iddan··on Launch HN: Bitrig (YC S25) – Build Swift apps on your iPhone
When I was in middle school I remember a friend lieing that there is “a mobile app to create mobile apps”. I thought it’s an amazing idea, but it was way too early. I love how this hallucination became a reality. Good luck!
iddan··on Hyprland – An independent, dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
I’m a Mac user but I spotted this in one of my employees’ computer and it looks sick.
iddan··on Zero-day flaws in authentication, identity, authorization in HashiCorp Vault
Fun language fact: "daka" is hebrew for "minute" but it's literal meaning is "thin one" figurative being "the thin (shorter) time measure" in contradiction with an hour ("sha'aa")
iddan··on Enough AI copilots, we need AI HUDs
This is what we are going for in Closer - an AI native experience that extends the mind of salespeople. https://closer.so
iddan··on AI Market Clarity
We are building some exciting sales AI tech in Closer: basically the cursor for sales people. https://closer.so
iddan··on Flounder Mode – Kevin Kelly on a different way to do great work
Spirituality doesn’t have to be religion and most certainly not an Abrahamic religion.
iddan··on Flounder Mode – Kevin Kelly on a different way to do great work
I’m not from the US, but from my visits there and continuous reading of the living conditions in America this comment seems painfully true. As someone living in Israel I’m grateful we don’t live in those extremes.
iddan··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
The cursor for sales: a co-pilot for founders who sale or AEs that analyses all the channels the sale happens in (email, meeting minutes, LinkedIn, slack etc) and able to take actions like writing followups or detecting hot leads. Helpful for startups who feel pain in their mid-funnel. https://closer.so
iddan··on Gemini CLI
This is awesome! We recently started using Xander (https://xander.bot). We've found it's even better to assign PMs to Xander on Linear comments and get a PR. Then, the PM can validate the implementation in a preview environment, and engineers (or another AI) can review the code.
iddan··on Remote MCP Support in Claude Code
I'm using https://xander.bot, which already leverages MCP connection between Claude Code and Linear. Really awesome stuff, how it knows how to gather context from Linear.
iddan··on Scrappy – Make little apps for you and your friends
Built something like this 8 years ago for hospital in Israel doctors to have simple formula calculator - it was super helpful but I never got to productise it, Love this!
iddan··on Launch HN: Nomi (YC X25) – Copilot for Sales
Hey, totally accept the criticism - thank you! Unlike Nomi, in Closer we focus mostly on admin work - the work even the greatest salespeople dread the most. The tool is sort of a Cursor meets Shortwave/Superhuman meets Notion but fully connected to all your org data. Congrats to the team for launching!
iddan··on Launch HN: Nomi (YC X25) – Copilot for Sales
Congrats on the launch! We are building something in this space as well https://closer.so
iddan··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)
A sales copilot for startup founders. You can think of it like Cursor but for sales (in the sense it integrates into existing systems and giving an ai native workflow on top of it). https://closer.so
iddan··on Show HN: SVG Animation Software
So awesomeeee I always wanted something like this
iddan··on Getting AI to write good SQL
For anybody wanting to use best-in-class AI SQL, I highly recommend checking out Sherloq (W23): https://www.sherloqdata.io/
iddan··on SMS 2FA is not just insecure, it's also hostile to mountain people
In Israel some providers started to offer code in WhatsApp (for example credit card companies). This ensures that if you don’t have access to your phone number (for example: abroad) you won’t be locked out of your phone while implementing the same security mechanism
iddan··on I'd rather read the prompt
Jokes aside, I’m building a product for this for sales. If this is relevant to you: https://closer.so
iddan··on Bamba: An open-source LLM that crosses a transformer with an SSM
And in Heberw it's the name of a snack made of peanut-butter-flavored puffed maize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamba_(snack)
iddan··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)
A sales co pilot that helps startups move deals faster. You can think of it of Cursor for sales. It knows to perfectly summarise deals activity and prepare the next action. Saving you precious time and enables you to close more customers faster
