Show HN: Sprigman – Pac-Man Recreated in a Limited Tile Based JavaScript Engine (sprig.hackclub.com)

As a student with a lot of notes I had a problem with studying fast for tests. So I created Notiv an AI study app that analyzes your notes and prepares you for test.

Did you develop the AI? Are you sharing any data with external partners?

I wish you all the best with your initiative!

Maybe some inspiration from Germany: Linda Büscher did the same while graduating. Press coverage at Business Insider

You have a domain, why not get a domain email? Seeing a firstname.lastname [at] gmail loses the professional feeling the website is giving off.

To add to this, if you use Zoho's free plan this can cost you literally nothing.

The user images look AI-generated, based on e.g. the fingers in https://www.notiv.app/lovable-uploads/9224843e-e523-4691-951... I think this is inherently dishonest because it's made to look like they're real users. Is the image and testimonial from "Conner" on the Features page also fake?

How are you keeping data private as stated in your FAQs? Is the data not shared with an AI company in order to generate all the smart features?

There appears to be a pattern of posts where "I'm 16 / 17 etc" as a prefix gets the hits. And rightly so!

It's very good that young people are engaged. It's encouraging for us grey beards interested in the future of technology and a healthy action for us old people to encourage younger people.

As my beard gets greyer so my pattern recognition library of samples gets bigger and it has recognised a "I'm 16" prefix to popular HN submissions!

Confirmation mail is incorrect (supabase auth).

For some reason, I get slightly annoyed when young people (indirectly) boast about their entrepreneurial skills.

I’m fairly confident this isn’t due to jealousy, although I used to believe that was the reason. Given recent geopolitical developments, I’ve become increasingly convinced that it stems from a deep aversion to narcissistic personality traits.

Please be humble. Some people might reward you for your marketing skills, but others find it off-putting. You probably won’t hear much from them on Hacker News, though.

Still, I wish you best of luck in developing your programming and business skills!

> (indirectly) boast about their entrepreneurial skills

Are you referring to the actual post? What age would it be appropriate to post one's creations would you say? Or is it the "I'm 16-" prefix? But I can't work out where the narcissism comes in.

I love the amount of effort spent on avoiding studying! I used to make and update timetables and revision plans. This is next level!

Congrats on launching though, this is an amazing achievement and the dedication/skill set will take you far.

Great job and good luck.

There's still time left to apply to YC's 2025 summer batch: [0] You have 48 hours left until applications close on May 13th.

Who knows, maybe you could achieve fast growth like Scale AI (YC S16) [1] did.

All you have to do is to keep building.
