Just wanted to share a little weekend project I built: Yes Or No Tarot.
I had a simple goal: create a web app that was extremely fast, minimalist, and had absolutely zero friction.
That means:
No sign-ups or logins
No ads, trackers, or cookies
No bloated frameworks (it's super lightweight)
It does one simple thing: you ask a yes/no question, and it gives you a straightforward answer.
The tarot theme is mostly for fun – you can think of it as a creatively skinned coin-flipper for those small, daily moments of indecision, like "should I get coffee now or later?".
I'm not a tarot expert, just a developer who enjoys building simple, useful things. I had a lot of fun making this and would love to hear any feedback you have on the UI, performance, or the general idea.
That's a fantastic point, and thank you for bringing it up. You're absolutely right, I should have made this clear from the start.
To be clear: I do not store any of the text you submit. Everything is processed on the server and immediately discarded after the result is sent back to you. Your privacy is a top priority, and no input data is logged or saved.
Your feedback is super helpful. I'll add a clear note about this on the homepage and create a proper privacy policy page this week.
And yes, the irony is definitely not lost on me! It's been a fun challenge to essentially fight AI with AI. Thanks again for the great comment.
I'm a solo developer, and I'd like to share a side project I've been working on: BypassGPT.
The problem I'm trying to solve is the increasingly frustrating "AI detection" issue. As a user of AI for my personal and professional writing, I found myself constantly being flagged by services like GPTZero and other detectors, even when I had made significant edits myself. I felt like the tools designed to help me were now getting in my way.
So, I decided to build a solution. BypassGPT is an AI humanizer. You paste in your AI-generated text, and it intelligently rewrites it to sound more natural and human-like. It rephrases sentences and varies vocabulary to bypass most detection algorithms, while maintaining the original meaning.
A few key points about the tool:
It's free and requires no sign-up. I wanted to make it as accessible as possible for everyone to try.
It includes a basic built-in detector. While it may not be as robust as some professional services, my main focus was on developing the "humanizing" algorithm itself.
I believe this tool can be valuable for content creators and others who use AI as a legitimate part of their workflow but are tired of being unfairly penalized by aggressive detectors.
I'm excited to finally share this with the HN community. I'm here to answer any questions you have and would love to hear your thoughts and honest feedback.
