Show HN: If you lose your memory, how to regain access to your computer?
Due to bike-induced concussions, I've been worried for a while about losing my memory and not being able to log back in.
I combined shamir secret sharing (hashicorp vault's implementation) with age-encryption, and packaged it using WASM for a neat in-browser offline UX.
The idea is that if something happens to me, my friends and family would help me get back access to the data that matters most to me. 5 out of 7 friends need to agree for the vault to unlock.

Show HN: Generate Amazon product images from a photo in 30 seconds
7:38 PMHey HN, I'm a solo founder who built GreenOnion (https://greenonion.ai) - an AI tool that generates Amazon A+ Content and listing images from a product photo in 30 seconds. The problem: Amazon/Etsy sellers need professional product images, but hiring designers costs $100-500 per product, DIY takes 3-5 hours, and they have 50-200 products in their catalogs. What's different: Most AI tools need detailed prompts and give inconsistent results. I found the "fine line" where AI reliably produces production-ready outputs (95%+ usable) while still feeling authentic to the brand. Technically it's layered prompts across models, but the real work was finding constraints that keep outputs both creative AND reliable. Current state:
Launched a month ago after repositioning to focus specifically on ecommerce 9 paying customers (first one bought highest tier immediately) One said she "wanted to cry" because she'd been struggling with this for months Outputs good enough that I use them on my own site
What I'm struggling with:
Pricing: $149 for ~33 A+ Content pieces feels too cheap for a $3K problem The tech is "just prompts" - how do you build defensibility with API-based models? Stay focused on ecommerce or expand to other use cases?
Would love feedback, especially from solo founders on pricing and AI builders on moats. Examples (all one-shot, no editing): https://greenonion.ai/use-cases/amazon-bulk-listing-images

Show HN: Null0 – AI Clone; Open-source CLI that gives AI your personal context
null0 stores your personal context, and the goal is to have it inject relevant context automatically into Claude, Codex, Gemini, or even OpenClaw. I built null0 because I got tired of re-explaining myself to every AI session. My preferences, my tech stack, how I think, how I write -- gone every time the context window resets.
The goal is to create an actual AI clone that predicts your intent. Imagine a future where you open your laptop and your AI Jarvis already knows what you will likely want to do based on all of the context it has.
This could act as a central data provider once users’ have used it enough, enabling hyper-personalized experiences based on your custom persona and individualistic traits. I have a big vision for this.
It's similar to OpenClaw in the sense that it's simply using your Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini API key / accounts, meaning there is no additional cost. If using Gemini, I use Cognee for the vector search. I am trying to stay away from RAG and instead switch to document header encoding.
