On: Show HN: I Built a Customer Feedback Tool

[willks]

Looks good, I’ve been in the market for a tool like this before. One thing I found to be a crazy omission is that none of the existing tools enable people to leave feedback anonymously, they all require users to sign up in order to leave feedback, which is a level of friction that will prevent most people from bothering. I get that anonymous posting leads to spam, but I’d rather manage that myself than lose insights. I ended up using Canny, which let me log in users using credentials from my application, which is good but annoying to implement.

On: Airas Agent – Autonomous Web Navigation with AI Vision

This is cool, and could be very useful for visually impaired users to navigate websites with poor accessibility. One thing to note is that the name is very close to [aira](https://aira.io/) who are already very established in the accessibility space and do a similar thing with human assistants instead of AI.

Awesome, I like it a lot so far, seems really useful

On: Consent-O-Matic – automatically fills ubiquitous pop-ups with your preferences

[willks]

I've been using this on mobile for a couple of years now, I've noticed it failing in the way you mention quite often in the last 3 months or so. I'm not sure how maintained the rules are, they might need updating. Previously it was working nicely, although probably only on 40% or so of pages. I've also used ublock to block cookie consent popups, which catches more but occasionally has to be disabled as sometimes it will break scrolling or interaction with the page.

On: Launch HN: Patchwork (YC S24) – Automatically add structured logs to your code

This looks really cool, this would be very valuable for us a small team. Do you have plans for pricing levels?

[benjaminfh → willks]

Thanks! Yeah, we're finding a lot of interest from small teams who want to move fast without accumulating tech debt / creating a negative trend between customer count an reliability as they start to find traction themselves.

Want to drop us an email (founders@getpatchwork.io)? Right now we do our best to make pricing work for our customers because the real value for us in this early stage is your feedback. (Cliche but true :) )

On: Show HN: I made an AI-based domain name generator with availability check

[willks]

One idea- you might want to add the option to restrict suggestions to certain TLDs. It suggested a bunch of .xyz, .cc, .guru etc stuff which I'm really not interested in. Otherwise a cool tool!

On: Show HN: I built a tool for repeatable checklists

[willks]

Congrats on the launch, this is really cool!

Yep, Pass4wallet is great, and free to boot. I’ve used it for lots of loyalty cards and membership cards that don’t support Wallet, and even for some that do, so I can avoid installing apps for them.
