Show HN: Tool that automates ML model deployment on mobile/edge devices
Deploying ML models on-device is still a huge pain. Most teams default to cloud inference because:
Testing a model on different devices is manual and error-prone
Device constraints aren’t obvious from model exports
Rewriting deployment code for multiple platforms wastes days or weeks
I built Refactor AI, an infrastructure tool that:
Analyzes a trained ML model and flags ops that won’t run on the target device
Refactors the model where possible
Generates deployment-ready code for CoreML, ONNX Runtime, ONNX.js, and TFLite
This reduces deployment time from days to minutes, and lets teams run inference natively on-device, saving on cloud GPU costs.
Open to feedback, testing on real models, or ideas for improvement.

Show HN: Flour Hour – I built a bread baking app with Claude Code in 3 hours
I built this to solve my own problem — sourdough takes ~20 hours from start to finish, and I was tired of setting a dozen alarms and constantly checking "what's next?" Flour Hour lets you pick a recipe, set your start time (or work backwards from when you want to eat), and it calculates every step with exact timestamps. Includes 22 recipes: classic sourdough, same-day sourdough, focaccia, bagels, croissants, brioche, discard pancakes, and more. Each with ingredients. Tech: React + Vite, deployed on GitHub Pages. The interesting part — I built it entirely by talking to Claude Code. Described what I wanted like a client, and it wrote all the code. Took about 3 hours of conversation (not counting rate limits). GitHub: https://github.com/YaninaTrekhleb/flour-hour Happy to answer questions about the build process or the app itself.
