Like most of you, I've lost count of how many times I've gone through this loop: try my usual password → "must contain a special character" → try again → "cannot be the same as your last 3 passwords" → give up and reset.
The irony is that every website already has these composition rules — they just don't show them until you fail. So I built a Chrome extension that surfaces the password requirements directly below the input field before you start typing.
How it works:
* Detects password fields automatically on any website
* Looks up the site's password rules from a community-maintained database
* Displays min/max length, required character types, special character restrictions, etc. as a small card below the input
The extension never reads, stores, or transmits your actual passwords. It only displays publicly available composition rules. No account required, no tracking — just an anonymous ID to prevent spam contributions.
The rule database currently covers 30+ major sites (Chase, Google, Microsoft, etc.) and is fully community-driven — anyone can contribute missing rules. The whole thing is open source.
I'd love feedback from the HN community, especially:
Sites you'd want covered that aren't in the database yet
Ideas for detecting password rules automatically (scraping help text, etc.)
I'm incredibly excited to share my creation with you today!
My journey into Chinese metaphysics—like Bazi (八字) and Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数)—started from a personal quest for self-understanding. However, I found that most online tools were either too simplistic, frustratingly inaccurate, or written in cryptic language that raised more questions than answers. They offered a glimpse, but never the full, detailed picture.
I knew there had to be a better way to bridge this ancient wisdom with our modern lives.
That’s why I built 渡星河 (Stariver.me), which poetically translates to "Crossing the Star River."
It's an AI-powered platform that doesn't just scratch the surface. It goes deep. By integrating three powerful systems—Zi Wei Dou Shu, Bazi, and Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数)—it generates what we believe are the most comprehensive life analysis reports on the internet today, often exceeding 10,000 words.
We've obsessed over accuracy, training our models on ancient texts and validating them with thousands of real-life interpretations. Our 3,000+ early users have given us a 100% satisfaction rate, often describing the insights as "scarily accurate" and "profoundly revealing."
This isn't just about predicting the future. It's about understanding your core character, your potential, your challenges, and the cycles of your life, so you can navigate your journey with more clarity and confidence.
I'll be here all day to answer any questions, read your feedback, and chat about anything from AI algorithms to ancient star charts.
Believe me, Stariver.me is far better than just send your birthday to LLM.

It is not good enough for some simple situation. For instance, the up arrow ↑ in keyboard is not work. Sometimes I have a typo in my code line, such as `from itertools import chains`, here `chains` should be `chain`, so it raise an exception. In Python shell, I could press ↑ to show this line again and only delete the last letter. But ↑ can not work in IDLE, I have to copy or re-input the whole line.
tl,dr: if you know why does the result of `1 < 2 < 3` is True，then，you know why `True == False is False` is False. Forget other language, first. In Python the chain compare means `1 < 2 < 3` means `1 < 2 and 2 < 3`, so `True == False is False` means `True == False and False is False` and equal to `False and True`. So, the result is False.
Especially in China, almost all the android apps will steal your personal info, such as all your contracts, all your sms, all your photos, all other apps and etc.
I have an open source project called MarkdownPicPicker, which is used to upload img to web host and generate markdown format URL. I released it at its version of 0.1 and will cost a lot of time to set up the environment before use it.
But there are some people tell me that it is useful and they can not live without it.
Also, they suggested me of new features and develop it with me.
Now, MarkdownPicPicker is in its version of 1.0 and it is so easy to use it as soon as you download it both in macOS and windows.
I tell this story because I want to tell you that you should release it now and develop it according to other people's advice.
Do you know cancer? The cancer is the ability of regenerate from the very begin in human's history. But we lost the ability of control cancel cells and it became an illness.
As I am in China, the two picture hosts may not be usable in your country. I hope you can help me develop the uploader for this project. I have writen the How-To in the Readme.
