Show HN: AI Try – Demo Directory. Find and Try AI Demos (Free)
I kept bookmarking in my browser (or in my head) all sorts of AI demos that you can actually try. So I built this directory to easily find and go to them. Free only.
I added a label to show if they make you login or not.
I also added a Showcase section to promote and show videos from enthusiasts doing their own demos.
If you know of any demos that I am missing, let me know, I'll add it and put you in the showcase or featured section (if you'd like).
Feedback welcome :)

Vibe code mobile apps with Supabase and AI capabilities
Just launched https://flexapp.ai with Supabase integration and AI-driven mobile apps. It lets you generate code with authentication, databases, and AI features.
What FlexAppAI does now (just launched v0.2): - Generates complete React Native + Supabase code from a text prompt - Handles auth, database schema, storage, and edge functions - Integrates DALL-E and LLMs if you want AI features - Works with Expo for easy testing on your devices
Real example: I built a story generator app recently with Supabase backend and AI in ~5 mins
1300+ developers signed up in just the past month. So it validates the idea and I will keep making it better.
Looking for feedback and suggestions.

Show HN: Looset Graph – OSS concept map tool (ClojureScript, Wikipedia demo)
I built Looset Graph [1], a free/open-source tool for visualizing concept maps and mind maps. It lets you map relationships between ideas, topics, or entire knowledge domains.
---
Key features:
- Interactive: Fold/collapse nodes, drag to reorganize, and define graphs from plain text.
- Wikipedia demo: Extracted connections from the Mathematics Wikipedia page [2] to auto-generate a graph [3]. Shows how algebra, geometry, and calculus relate.
- Built with ClojureScript and Re-Frame.
Why? I wanted a tool to simplify complex networks for students, researchers, or anyone untangling interconnected ideas.
Try it:
- Live demo (Maths example): [3]
- GitHub repo: [1]
- Demo video: [4]
---
Feedback wanted:
1. Usefulness: Would you use this for learning, planning, or brainstorming?
2. Priorities: Should I add more visualization features (clustering, edge labels) or focus on easier graph creation (e.g., Wikipedia imports)?
3. First impressions: What stands out (good or bad)?
Tech stack: ClojureScript + Re-Frame. No ads, no tracking.

Show HN: Built a resume filtering tool after screening 1000s manually as a dev
I was working as a software developer at a 15-person startup. We posted one job, and within days got thousands of resumes.
Since we didn’t have recruiters, engineers (like me) had to manually go through them. Most didn’t match the job description at all.
That experience inspired me to build FilterResumes – a tool that automatically scores and ranks resumes based on how well they match your JD.
It's fully automated and works with any job description + a batch of resumes.
Would love your thoughts and feedback!
