My weekend project for learning German (learngermanwithgames.com) made it to the front page of Hacker News! It must be a slow news day 😅
Learning German is hard.
So I upgraded the AI flashcards in Heuristica to make it easier.
Here’s how 👇
I just had a cool product realization with Heuristica.
It could be much better to permit access to areas that require sign-in/subscription for non-users and use them to promote your locked features rather than simply showing a disabled link/launching a sign-in modal. These are opportunities for promotion, not areas that need to be locked down.
Here is an example. This just means I now need to create a bunch of product videos and marketing text 😪
While the Product Hunt launch for Heuristica didn't go as planned, I somehow managed to reach the top of the list on @Peerlist 🚀
Link if you wanted to send me to the moon: peerlist.io/launchpad/2025/w…
After 2.5 years, it felt like a good time to finally post Heuristica on Product Hunt. I would appreciate any support! The link is in the 🧵
producthunt.com/products/heu… - Thank you!
Thanks for the mention @RatheeJaisal! 🎉
Yoooo the latest batch of startups is now live on Tiny Startups and featuring some KICK-ASS founders & projects 🥳
Let's make this launch week epic!

Ok, here is another cool feature on Heuristica. Follow-up questions are generated with every response from the AI.
I have added so many cool features to Heuristica lately.
Definitely, check it out if you haven't done so in a while.
Here is some of that good stuff:
1. Updated library experience. Create Flashcards, Quizzes, Study Notes, LLM Chats from scratch or from your content:
Just introduced a new kind of node in Heuristica. You can use the Questions node to discover good questions to ask when learning new things.
Let’s see if I can get access to Manus like this 👀
Manus just blessed me AGAIN
They saw how quickly we ran through the first 100 community codes… so they gave me 500 more….
If you missed out on the first round, here’s your chance:
1. Retweet this post
2. Follow
3. DM me “MANUS”
If you got the access code in the first round, reply with what you cooked up so far!
Manus is absolutely next level. I literally maxed out the tokens yesterday.
ChatGPT Operator but for free 🎉 Looks pretty cool.
Open-source AI just got a major upgrade.
@Convergence_ai_ releases Proxy Lite, the most capable open-source agentic Vision Language Model on the market!
🔗 convergence.ai/proxy_lite/
→ 3B distilled model, cost-efficient
→ Runs 100% locally, no cluster needed!

o3-mini is also now available in Heuristica! Additionally, I updated the DeepSeek R1 to use a distilled model for better performance. The results should stream much faster now. Here are o3-mini and DeepSeek side-by-side.
Added support for DeepSeek v3 and R1 to Heuristica, provided by @togethercompute! You can see the chain-of-thought reasoning part of the answer with the R1 model; this gets stored in the nodes of your concept map.
