Farmers struggle tracking government subsidy eligibility and application status
Indian farmers search for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi subsidy updates but lack a single dashboard to check eligibility, track application status, and receive deadline alerts. Current government portals are fragmented and lack real-time notifications, creating confusion and missed payments. [Trending: "प्रधानमंत्री किसान सम्मान निधि" with 500+ searches in IN]

FGTS withdrawal eligibility calculator and document preparation tool
Brazilian workers struggle to understand FGTS withdrawal eligibility rules when government opens new withdrawal rounds. A tool that checks eligibility, calculates potential withdrawals, and auto-fills required documents could reduce friction and capture government announcement surges.

Auto-organize personal photo library with AI tags and folders
Users have thousands of unorganized photos across devices. Existing tools (Google Photos, Amazon Photos) auto-backup but don't intelligently organize by event/person/location. An AI tool that runs locally or via API to tag, cluster, and suggest folders could help users find photos faster. [Google Search suggestion]

I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++
I love C and C++, but setting up projects can sometimes be a pain.Every time I wanted to start something new I'd spend the first hour writing CMakeLists.txt, figuring out find_package, copying boilerplate from my last project, and googling why my library isn't linking. By the time the project was actually set up I'd lost all momentum.So, I built Craft - a lightweight build and workflow tool for C and C++. Instead of writing CMake, your project configuration goes in a simple craft.toml: [project] name = "my_app" version = "0.1.0" language = "c" c_standard = 99 [build] type = "executable" Run craft build and Craft generates the CMakeLists.txt automatically and builds your project. Want to add dependencies? That's just a simple command: craft add --git https://github.com/raysan5/raylib --links raylib craft add --path ../my_library craft add sfml Craft will clone the dependency, regenerate the CMake, and rebuild your project for you.Other Craft features: craft init - adopt an existing C/C++ project into Craft or initialize an empty directory. craft template - save any project structure as a template to be initialized later. craft gen - generate header and source files with starter boilerplate code. craft upgrade - keeps itself up to date.CMakeLists.extra.cmake for anything that Craft does not yet handle.Cross platform - macOS, Linux, Windows.It is still early (I just got it to v1.0.0) but I am excited to be able to share it and keep improving it.Would love feedback. Please also feel free to make pull requests if you want to help with development!

Relvy (YC F24) – On-call runbooks, automated
Hey HN! We are Bharath, and Simranjit from Relvy AI (https://www.relvy.ai). Relvy automates on-call runbooks for software engineering teams. It is an AI agent equipped with tools that can analyze telemetry data and code at scale, helping teams debug and resolve production issues in minutes. Here’s a video: [[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXr4_XlWXc0]]]A lot of teams are using AI in some form to reduce their on-call burden. You may be pasting logs into Cursor, or using Claude Code with Datadog’s MCP server to help debug. What we’ve seen is that autonomous root cause analysis is a hard problem for AI. This shows up in benchmarks - Claude Opus 4.6 is currently at 36% accuracy on the OpenRCA dataset, in contrast to coding tasks.There are three main reasons for this: (1) Telemetry data volume can drown the model in noise; (2) Data interpretation / reasoning is enterprise context dependent; (3) On-call is a time-constrained, high-stakes problem, with little room for AI to explore during investigation time. Errors that send the user down the wrong path are not easily forgiven.At Relvy, we are tackling these problems by building specialized tools for telemetry data analysis. Our tools can detect anomalies and identify problem slices from dense time series data, do log pattern search, and reason about span trees, all without overwhelming the agent context.Anchoring the agent around runbooks leads to less agentic exploration and more deterministic steps that reflect the most useful steps that an experienced engineer would take. That results in faster analysis, and less cognitive load on engineers to review and understand what the AI did.How it works: Relvy is installed on a local machine via docker-compose (or via helm charts, or sign up on our cloud), connect your stack (observability and code), create your first runbook and have Relvy investigate a recent alert.Each investigation is presented as a notebook in our web UI, with data visualizat

Handyman apps push professional services without diagnosing DIY feasibility
Home repair apps immediately book pros instead of first diagnosing if the user can fix it themselves; users want tools that assess the problem upfront, guide self-repair or match pros only if needed.

Trading signal providers lack verifiable portfolio performance proof
Investors want signal services to publicly share audited portfolio returns before subscribing; current providers make unsubstantiated claims, but users are willing to pay premium (even 10x fees) for transparent, proven track records.

Homeowners struggle to find and manage reliable contractors for simple repairs
People need an app or AI where they describe home issues like low shower water pressure or window replacement, and it automatically finds contractors based on price and reputation, verifies acceptable quotes, and notifies when they arrive, eliminating the hassle of searching and coordinating.

Small businesses spend hours rewriting generic website templates instead of showcasing what customers actually value about them
Small business owners and marketers struggle to create authentic website copy that resonates with their target customers. Traditional website builders offer templates with generic placeholder text that requires extensive rewriting and still fails to capture what genuinely differentiates their business. They lack the time, copywriting skills, or customer insight to articulate their unique value proposition, resulting in websites that sound like every competitor and fail to convert visitors into customers.

Founders spend hours manually creating social content from valuable knowledge shared in meetings
Founders and thought leaders have valuable insights shared during daily meetings, calls, and conversations, but converting this raw material into polished social content (shorts, LinkedIn posts, tweets) is time-consuming and requires writing skills. Current solutions either feel robotic and inauthentic or require hiring editors/content teams. This delays their ability to build personal brands and reach audiences, forcing them to choose between creating content and running their business.
