Launch HN: Kitchenful (YC S21) – Weekly recipes with integrated shopping 27 by cschiller | 14 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I’m Christian and here together with my co-founder Christian (no typo!), we are the founders of Kitchenful ( https://ift.tt/3E507SR ). Kitchenful is an app for personalized recommendations of recipes that also gets you the ingredients delivered from a local grocery store. My girlfriend and I asked ourselves the question “What should we have for dinner?” nearly every day. It was annoying for both of us, and on top of that, after a long discussion about what to cook, I was the one who would go out and get the groceries. We never managed to meal plan a couple of days in advance, so the situation repeated itself every 1-2 days, and the result was often to either eat the same meals over and over again, or do impulsive shopping that would include unhealthy snacks or expensive takeout orders. Our first breakthrough was to sketch meal plans on the weekend and order v...

Launch HN: DailyBot (YC S21) – in-chat automation for work 16 by maomorales | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN — we're Mauricio and Sergio from DailyBot ( https://ift.tt/2KjWIsm ). We're building an automation platform and chat assistant for modern work that integrates with Slack, Discord, MS Teams and Google Chat, with others coming soon. Here's a 2-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHZnGl4c-9g Even after six years of managing distributed teams, async work remained a challenge for us. We faced pains like having too many meetings, overusing calls instead of having asynchronous check-ins, and having processes that could and should be chat-driven, automated, or optimized, like managing our releases’ change control, getting reminders on a teammate’s birthday, or running a quick poll. We wanted some sort of chat assistant that we could adapt to our daily workflows. We found a few slack bots with partial solutions, but they lacked privacy and security, and we didn...

Ask HN: Are Indeed, LinkedIn the go-to places for exploring new jobs? 33 by brayhite | 33 comments on Hacker News. I've worked at my current company since my college internship in 2012, and have not sought a new gig in all of that time. The company was a travel tech startup that I joined as an early employee, and it was acquired a few years ago. The app is still active and supported, but it feels time to start exploring what else is out there. In case it matters, my background is largely in various QA and product roles, most recently transitioning from project management to product management. Are the traditional places like Linkedin and Indeed the best places to upload resumes, update skills, etc.? Do I need to fully dive into the job-hunting waters and network with recruiters to get a good idea of where I "stack" so to speak?

Ask HN: Did you find something to use your Raspberry Pi 400 for? 8 by dusted | 6 comments on Hacker News. It's so cute (to look at)! But it seems to be utterly useless for just about anything I thought I might be able to do with it.. This 4 gigabyte memory, almost 2 ghz quadcore machine seems unable to do much of anything, browsing the web is an utterly horrid experience.. Playing a game of Quake 3 is impossible. Doom can run, but only at 320x240 unless you don't mind terrible lags. I'm considering what I can do with it.. For once, I can run an IRC client on it, but what else? Have you found something to actually use this for?

Ask HN: What steps do you take to protect yourself and your family online? 23 by akudha | 11 comments on Hacker News. This week, I found out that someone opened a bank account in my name. I was able to block the account, but I am not receiving any help from the bank. They don't even have a phone number to let me talk to someone. Everything is done via email :( What steps can I take, to protect myself online? By now, it is safe to assume that my SSN, address, employment info are in multiple databases somewhere. Given this scenario, any advice?

Ask HN: Was Your Turkey Dry? 9 by itchyjunk | 15 comments on Hacker News. I am not sure if it's something about the turkey itself or the ways generally employed to cook them, but dry turkey seems to be a common theme of discussion among people during thanksgiving. Although, it might also be my own biases that makes me think it's a common enough issue. So I figured HN would be a reliable enough group to ask if they have run into this problem/ found their own unique solutions.
