mousetree··on Show HN: We built AI agents that reduce mortgage processing from 18 days to 3–5
Could you share more about your compliance engine? Where are you sourcing the data from?
mousetree··on Claude Skills
I'm perplexed why they would use such a silly example in their demo video (rotating an image of a dog upside down and cropping). Surely they can find more compelling examples of where these skills could be used?
mousetree··on PlanetScale for Postgres is now GA
is this web scale?
mousetree··on Open Banking and Payments Competition
They don’t have banking licenses, at least not in the US
mousetree··on Launch HN: Halluminate (YC S25) – Simulating the internet to train computer use
I thought it was halloumi + illuminate
mousetree··on Launch HN: Halluminate (YC S25) – Simulating the internet to train computer use
Why are flight bookings the go to example always? For most people, booking a flight happens infrequently, is a non-trivial expense (to your point), and is not that burdensome to do yourself.
mousetree··on Ask HN: Recommendations for specification management software?
We write PRDs in Notion
mousetree··on Show HN: Sidequest.js – Background jobs for Node.js using your database
I'm a big fan of ActiveJob in Rails. I was considering building a version inspired by it in Node but now it looks like I don't have to. Thank you for building this.
mousetree··on Show HN: DataRamen, a Fast SQL Explorer with Automatic Joins and Data Navigation
Screenshots on the website would be very helpful. This sounds interesting, but would like to see what the actual UI is before setting anything up. It would also be good to link to the Github repo for the CLI part - I'm skeptical of giving an unknown tool access to my database without understanding what it's actually doing.
mousetree··on DNS4EU for Public Is Available
Why would you need to remember it once you’ve set it up?
mousetree··on A practical guide to building agents [pdf]
You can ingest new documents and data into the RAG system as you need
mousetree··on Ask HN: How do you set up a new dev machine? (2025 edition)
Brewfile
mousetree··on Built an AI tool to visualize large codebases - would love feedback
We're using Github Copilot (the chat UI on github.com) to allow non-technical colleagues to ask questions of the code, "How does X business process work". It's deflected a lot of basic questions from engineers. Your product seems in this direction. Nice job
mousetree··on A new generation of Tailscale access controls
Ah yes. This seems to be something new and entirely optional. They’re saying that it might make sense to some to keep both network and application level authorization defined in one place. Personally, I’m with you in just using a normal SSO solution.
mousetree··on A new generation of Tailscale access controls
It’s at the network level. It will block clients from connecting to the destinations on the network. You don’t need to modify any applications at the destination.
mousetree··on Launch HN: Relace (YC W23) – Models for fast and reliable codegen
This looks great - congrats. Would I be able to build an internal "Chat with your code" type product? I'm looking at the "code reranker" api docs and they require a list of files including the code itself. This would probably be infeasible to send all our code just to get relevancy. Are there any local ways of reducing the list of files and code we send?

We're using Github Copilot chat (the interface hosted at https://github.com/copilot) for this purpose today but I'm curious how one would build such a thing ourselves.

mousetree··on Big banks explore venturing into crypto world together with joint stablecoin
There is no settlement in Swift itself as it’s not network. Swift is messaging only. Bank settlements would happen later through networks like SEPA or Fedwire.

Ripple provides both messaging and settlement with XRP

mousetree··on Lieferando.de has captured 5.7% of restaurant related domain names
Lieferando should spend more time building a good app instead of registering domains. In my experience, they are by far the worst delivery service in Berlin . They’ve also operated long before Uber Eats, Wolt, etc. The only thing they have going for them is some mindshare as the first in the market. I can't understand how they're still around.
mousetree··on Lieferando.de has captured 5.7% of restaurant related domain names
I'm not so sure it can be a letterbox. When registering companies with the Handelsregister in Germany, I think there is a legal requirement to have a physical address. At least from my experience.
mousetree··on Lieferando.de has captured 5.7% of restaurant related domain names
Unfortunately, in Germany, there is a legal requirement for a business to have a physical address when registering it with the commercial register.
mousetree··on Getting AI to write good SQL
Out of all the AI tools and models I’ve tried, the most disappointing is the Gemini built into BigQuery. Despite having well named columns with good descriptions it consistently gets nowhere close to solving the problem.
mousetree··on Launch HN: Nao Labs (YC X25) – Cursor for Data
Hi, this is a great idea. I'm trying to get it working but I'm having some trouble in the last step of "Configure dbt project". I'm looking for a support link on your website but can't find any.
mousetree··on Ask HN: What is the worst communications tool you've ever used?
Email to a German government institution or the management company for my apartment building. The response to your email is always a letter in the post several weeks later with the title "RE: The email you sent on 25.03.2023".
mousetree··on Ask HN: What is the worst communications tool you've ever used?
Is it common for people to use WhatsApp at work? I don't think I've seen that before.
mousetree··on How to write blog posts that developers read
When I worked in consulting, we would call this “top down communication” - starting with the key message first. As opposed to storytelling.
mousetree··on Google to buy Wiz for $32B
We've been using them for 2-3 years. Excellent.

Seen Finance | Multiple Roles | Full time | Berlin and Chicago | Hybrid on-site | https://seen.com At Seen, we believe that everyone deserves a fair opportunity to (re)build their credit.

mousetree··on YC Batch, Application Public?
Perhaps his company doesn’t need to search the whole web when they already have an index of it…
mousetree··on Show HN: Seen – Virtual list rendering with 1M+ notes
Cool name! (CTO of seen.com here)
mousetree··on I built an open source AI tool to find my autoimmune disease
I was also diagnosed recently with ankylosing spondylitis after years of pain in my back (I am 37).

For years I thought it was due to a lack of exercise but after spending a year doing yoga, Pilates and physiotherapy things only worsened to the point where I could barely walk and could not bend down at all.

I had to strongly insist to my GP that this was not normal. After a referral to an orthopedic surgeon he ordered an MRI. The results indicated possible AS so he referred me to a rheumatologist. Tested positive for HLA-B27. Another MRI and an X-Ray and the diagnosis was confirmed.

AI was very useful in explaining the test results and doctors letters in plain English.
