Most procurement tools are either huge ERPs that are way too heavy and expensive for SMBs, or duct-taped tools like Airtable that fall apart once you need audits and real tracking. Quickinim sits in the middle. It’s lightweight, cloud-first, works without an ERP, and actually covers the warehouse side with QR scans for incoming goods. Suppliers get a simple portal (no training nightmares), everything is logged for compliance, and pricing scales sanely with team size. We’re not here to replace ERPs - just to kill the spreadsheet-and-email chaos procurement teams are stuck in.
Author here. A bit more context on why we built this.
We kept seeing the same pattern over and over: teams didn’t want an ERP, but they also couldn’t keep running procurement on spreadsheets and email. Most tools we tried were either too heavy, too expensive, or required months of setup and customization.
Quickinim isn’t trying to replace ERP systems. It’s meant for the gap before (or instead of) ERP where companies just need reliable purchase orders, supplier updates, and document tracking without the overhead.
Happy to answer any questions, and feedback (good or bad) is very welcome.
Hey! I just wanted to build this to show where gaming is going thanks to this AI Boom (choose your own adventure, but opinionated enough to move numbers, get items, have a game end, etc.)
Don't consider this true educational material! haha
The deal itself feels messy and political, not like a serious solution to data or security concerns. In the end, the risks are still there, and it’s hard to see what regular users actually win from this.
The point of the whole Congressional exercise was to grab ownership of a highly lucrative social network on the cheap to the American investor class. Whoever won the presidential election got to choose the winners.
lol are you really suggesting that China, out of the goodness of their hearts, made TikTok with the objective to give Americans “better” trash social media sites?
Honestly, this feels like classic over-engineering: collecting five years of people’s social media just to let them visit the country. I can’t imagine the false positives this will create — old jokes, memes, politics… all suddenly "security signals."
If the goal is real safety, is this actually the data that helps? Or just an easy way to scare off normal visitors?
Neither. The goal is to scare people off of criticizing the US in the first place. If you're not going to absolutely and irrevocably boycott the US, then you're going to think twice before posting anything negative.
We don't even have to ever actually implement it. We just have to threaten to. Even if we did implement it, it would probably only be used rarely, because it's a huge effort and will turn up nothing useful, but the chilling effect is immediate and universal.
Honestly, I opened the paper pretty skeptical - "colors in old paintings as a growth metric? really?" But the more I read, the more it felt like a clean data-engineering pipeline: HSV extraction, PCA, robustness checks, validation — just with 400-year-old inputs instead of logs.
You know, I think this Explorer is exactly the tool many of us lacked. Reading the Linux kernel source always felt daunting — thousands of files, confusing paths, complex structure. This feels like a “map” that helps you orient yourself, see how parts interconnect, how VFS works, how modules tie together. Yeah, sometimes a feature breaks (API limits, errors opening directories), but even so — this is a great way to peek “under the hood,” understand the architecture, and take the first step. Big thanks to the folks behind it.
Not that I care much if things are written by AI or not, but there has been a large stream of new accounts posting "<generic positive statement about project> <short description of a reason one could use the tool> <yeah x, but y> <token if thanks>" template posts with em dashes and other generically "AI styled" writing hints. My only thought is it's an easy way to get bot accounts past karma thresholds.
Whatever the reasons for these new accounts, and I'm not writing this to say that you are one such account or not, adopting a near identical style and template in certain responses is probably why some of your comments have been struggling.
Apologies for the double post, my browser said the connection failed the first time so I went back in my history and submitted again but didn't notice until after the delete window :).
Never mind! I understand that today reading the HN comments looks like witch (AI) hunting. But it is really can be a person behind that account who is new on HN and really positive )) I'll be much more accurate not to look like AI in the future )

I believe it's a navigation tool, with pointers to important parts of the code. Useful for those that want to learn about the code base but do not know where to get started.
Oxford is heading straight back to the Middle Ages )) Soon we’ll have horse-drawn carriages at the city entrance (if they aren’t there already), shuttling people around instead of taxis. People still want to get from point A to point B quickly — that need isn’t going anywhere.
Now reading HN articles has basically turned into a witch hunt (strikethrough) an AI hunt ))
Anyway, as for the point of the article, I totally get why the author moved on. Sublime will always have a special place in my toolkit, but for serious, modern dev work (especially on big projects) there are better all-rounders now.
With Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it’s not really clear whether the author originally came up with such a great idea and script, or if Disney just brought it to life so brilliantly on screen. I’m leaning toward the second. It’s cool that he got the rights back, but without Disney this idea just isn’t going to "sing" again.
It would be difficult. Aside from the characters and the cast, one of the biggest heroes of the movie was the script. It was dense with irony, jokes about the noir genre, straight man/funny man jokes and physical humor. You don't need the original cast to make a new Chinatown comedy with toons. It's a matter of assembling a story that's interesting and funny, with associated recognizable cartoon characters.
