Show HN: Animus Invoice – Invoice tracking without the busywork

Hacker News - Mon, 02/16/2026 - 3:47am

Hey HN! I built Animus Invoice after struggling with invoice compliance as a freelancer in Turkey.

The problem: Most invoice tools are either too complex or don't handle local tax requirements. You waste hours on paperwork instead of actual work.

Animus Invoice handles Turkish e-invoice/e-archive compliance automatically, tracks payments, and keeps you organized.

Currently in beta - would love feedback from freelancers dealing with similar pain points. Free beta access for early users.

Show HN: DoScript – DSL for file automation with natural language syntax

Hacker News - Mon, 02/16/2026 - 3:37am

I built DoScript, a domain-specific language for file automation. The goal: make scripts readable by anyone. Design Goal Instead of: bashfind . -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \; Write: for_each file_in here if_older_than {file_name} 30 days delete file {file_path} end_if end_for Trade power for clarity. Optimize for maintenance over terseness. Key Design Decisions 1. Natural Language Keywords make folder not mkdir, copy file not cp. Self-documenting. 2. Implicit Metadata When iterating files, auto-inject: {file_name}, {file_path}, {file_size}, {file_modified}, {file_is_old_days} for_each file_in "Documents" say "{file_name} is {file_size} bytes" end_for 3. Built-in Time Handling if_older_than {file_name} 30 days make folder "backup_{today}" No date arithmetic needed. 4. Expression Evaluation Function-based for simplicity: if greater_than {file_size} 1000000 if and(equals({type}, "pdf"), greater_than({size}, 10000)) Intentionally awkward for complex logic - signals you should use Python. Implementation

Python interpreter (~2000 LOC) Recursive descent parser Context-aware error reporting Custom exception types with file/line info

Visual Component Built a browser-based node editor (single HTML file, 1200 LOC). Drag boxes, wire them, generate DoScript code. Why? Different learning styles, workflow visualization, non-programmer accessibility. What Worked

Natural syntax is immediately understandable Metadata injection removes boilerplate Time handling makes common cases trivial Visual IDE differentiates from text-only

What Didn't

Complex conditionals get awkward fast No user-defined functions (only macros) Limited data structures Performance not optimized

The Challenge Built for non-programmers. But they don't hang out on dev forums. Developers say "just use Python" - which misses the point. How do you market dev tools to non-developers? Technical Transparency I designed syntax and architecture. Most Python implementation was AI-assisted (Claude, Copilot). Focus on design, use tools for implementation. Open Questions

When does a DSL become too limited? How to market to non-developers? Type system worth the complexity? Should DSLs provide escape hatches to host language?

GitHub: https://github.com/TheServer-lab/DoScript v0.6.5, includes interpreter, visual IDE, VS Code extension, examples. Built because bash was too cryptic for my friend to organize files. Turns out lots of people have this problem. Would love feedback from people who've built DSLs or struggled with similar trade-offs.

Show HN: A Toby alternative with vertical tabs and no forced new tab override

Hacker News - Mon, 02/16/2026 - 3:28am

Hi HN,

I built OrgaNice after running into limitations with existing tab managers, especially forced new tab overrides, feature limits, and workflows that didn’t scale well with large numbers of tabs.

Here’s what it currently offers:

Unlimited nested folders, collections, and workspaces

Session history

Vertical tabs via the side panel

Optional new tab override (you can enable or disable it)

JSON export and import

Import from your browser bookmarks

I’m actively improving it and would really appreciate feedback.

Thanks
