Show HN: I made a static site for exploring names
I've been trying to find some good baby names, so naturally I've been playing around with the US Social Security Administration's name data[0].
I've made various visualizations, tried to analyze names that are going to be popular in the future, etc. I recently tried making a name recommendation system that lets you rate names, then recommends names based on your inferred preferences. It worked OK, but along the way I ended up making namex[1], which has turned out fun and maybe useful enough to be worth sharing with a wider audience. Give it a try!
Basic overview:
- Corpus of ~24,000 names taken from SSA data - Any name with 15+ registrations attributed to it from 2022-24 was included - The names are scored by an LLM (Claude Sonnet 4.5) across ~40 subjective dimensions, such as "toughness", "trendiness", "easy to spell" - A further ~15 dimensions are computed based off of the (LLM inferred) pronunciation of the name - E.g. "vowel rich", "ends nasal", "syllable count" - 3 dimensions are computed from the raw SSA data related to popularity and gender distribution - Names are then represented by a 60-dimensional vector - User selections create a weight vector - Names are ranked against the weight vector using fancy linear algebra (or, uh, dot products) - Static data is loaded from server, everything else is run client-side
Disclaimer: there is some potential for offense to be taken at the characterization of names. The LLM was instructed to score the subjective dimensions according to the American cultural context. So what is considered e.g. easy to spell, or associations with certain cultures or religions, is based on the LLM's interpretation of that. So there are probably biases that stem from the LLM's training or American culture, or likely both.

Show HN: I Built a Kotlin Package Manager (KPM)
Disclaimer: Still in alpha. Also vibe coded, so... you've been warned.
I'm not really sure where this is going or if it needs to go anywhere, but as someone who lives in Kotlin based projects almost all day, I always envied web-devs with their npm's and bun's. Or Python devs with their pips.
Using those tools makes spinning up a project or adding dependencies seem so frictionless. No Google searches for every dependency path to copy/paste into Gradle.
That's where this idea came from for kpm. The job is basically the same. Run a simple command to scaffold an Android or Kotlin project and then another simple command to add a dependency. That's the idea anyways.
I had started out writing this by hand a few years ago and it went off the rails somewhere and I started over using Claude last year. Just recently picked it back up a bit and I think it's in a good enough spot right now to see if anyone is interested in something like this. AI is really good at scripting projects.
There's no real magic here beyond a lot of code to generate Gradle files and mutate them. There's some things I'm not sure about like the global config. I don't even know if that is useful and it certainly will mess things up if you use it in an already set up project because it's currently overwriting everything, so yeah, be careful.
I am working on (or AI is I guess) generating CMP/KMP projects which would be really nice.
Obviously this will never be as smooth as a bun or pip but it gives a familiar-ish experience.
If you are an Android dev, to get started: kpm new MyApp --android --compose kpm add will add a dependency
Curious and nervous to hear what people think. Thank you!
