Show HN: Upvotics – Track Reddit conversations where people need your product

Mon, 02/16/2026 - 5:42am

Hey HN!

I spent way too much time manually searching Reddit for mentions of problems my SaaS solved. I'd search keywords daily, miss conversations by hours, and get buried when I finally showed up.

So I built Upvotics to automate the listening part. It monitors subreddits for keywords, tracks mentions as they happen, and surfaces conversations where people are already asking for what you're building.

What it does: - Real-time keyword tracking across subreddits - User/subreddit engagement analytics (karma, post frequency, sentiment) - Rule checker (catches common removal triggers before you post) - Browser extension for contextual insights while browsing

What makes it different from Reddit search: - Tracks over time (not just one-off searches) - Browser extension for easy access without switching tabs - Surfaces intent signals (people asking questions, complaining about competitors) - Helps you engage naturally instead of spamming links

It's early. Just launched yesterday, already have 5 trial users. Would love feedback on what feels useful vs unnecessary, especially if you've tried similar tools.

Show HN: Vocalinux – 100% offline voice typing for Linux I built this because I wanted voice dictation without sending my voice data to cloud services. Vocalinux is a privacy-focused, open-source dictation tool that runs entirely on your Linux machine: - Local speech recognition (whisper.cpp, VOSK, or OpenAI Whisper) - Works offline, no network required - Universal compatibility (X11/Wayland, any app) - Voice commands: "period", "delete that", "new line" Installation: one-line curl command with auto-detection for GPU/CPU GitHub: https://github.com/jatinkrmalik/vocalinux Questions and feedback welcome!

Show HN: Claude Remote – control Claude Code on your Mac from your phone

Mon, 02/16/2026 - 4:45am

Hi HN, I’m a full-stack developer and I built a small tool that I now use every day. Claude Code from Anthropic is a very capable AI coding assistant, but it only runs locally on your computer. That means if you’re away from your desk — commuting, walking, or just on the couch — you can’t easily give it tasks. I wanted a simple way to send commands to Claude Code running on my home Mac from anywhere. So I built Claude Remote — a free, open-source app that lets you control Claude Code through a browser. How it works Install a lightweight macOS app (menu bar app, ~5 MB, Apple Silicon). Open a web chat from your phone or any device. Send a task — Claude Code executes it locally on your Mac and returns the result. The Mac app acts as a bridge between the browser and Claude Code. All execution happens locally on your machine. What I use it for Fixing bugs or generating small features in side projects Creating or editing landing pages Checking or organizing files Running scripts Opening websites in Chrome and interacting with them Summarizing or generating content Preparing quick reports Claude Code can control Chrome (open pages, read content, fill forms, take screenshots), so you can automate simple browser tasks remotely. Responses are returned as formatted markdown. I also added optional text-to-speech playback, which makes it usable while driving. Privacy & security Open source (GitHub link below) No subscriptions Firebase Auth (each user only sees their own sessions) All AI execution happens on your machine This is currently macOS (Apple Silicon) only. I’d really appreciate feedback — especially on security, architecture, and potential edge cases. Website: https://clauderemote.web.app GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gxtUZm2u Thanks!
