zizhouwang··on Launch HN: Hyper (YC P26) – Company brain to power agentic development
Congrats on the launch! Where do you think the core differentiator is right now? I feel like there's a grave yard of Glean for small teams no? Maybe I'm imagining it?
zizhouwang··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Built min., it's like Airtable on top of an email client. Add any column you want, extract structured data from emails automatically, so you can sort, group, emails for your team.

First use case is hello@ email addresses for fellow founders. Free for founders!

zizhouwang··on Ask HN: What are some data I can't get from API payloads?
Hmmm this just seems like any other data tool that connects to different data sources via connectors/integrations.

What I want to know is if I have an app that has react + API layer + database layer. Why can't I use the API payload for analytics instead of the database, because the API data is usually denormalized and has a lot more context.

zizhouwang··on Show HN: Siege - Real time data pipeline with a single command
Eric the cofounder here, we've just launched our open beta, and we'd love for the HN community to give Siege a try.

You can get a free API key and own cloud instance here: (https://siegeai.com)

If you just want to play around with the demo I showed: (https://demo.siegeai.com/) This obviously doesn't include the data collection piece.

We are very curious to hear your thoughts!

Wow that's a lot of food waste! Was upper management really disconnected with the kitchen staff and delivery drivers? They must have known burning through that much cash and wasting food is incredibly wasteful and unsustainable right? I'm really having a hard time getting my head around why management simply didn't just tighten the belt buckle...

Also assume you were paid by the hour? How many deliveries would you typically do since traffic is so terrible around the times they deliver?
