Show HN: (Spotlight/Raycast for Web Search not local) && (compare AI responses)

https://uberninja.co/
2•healersource•1h ago
Hi My name is Daniel, indie dev for the last 25+ years, based outside Boston.

You probably haven’t heard of me and I don’t have much to show on LinkedIn bc I’ve suffered from an extreme case of Fibromyalgia my whole life (aka daily migraines, severe cramping, searing nerve pain, panic attacks, anxiety, depression) But I digress.....

When I wasn’t too busy having lots of pain, I built Über Ninja. Its a desktop app (Mac/Windows) that lets you prompt multiple AI models side-by-side without copy/paste. I was tired of AI errors & hallucinations and wanted an easier way to verify responses.

In addition, Über Ninja also lets you do Web search from a global hotkey. There's tons of sites across 18 categories like shopping, jobs, flights and hotels. You can also multi-search multiple sites at once.

I know it might be a little confusing since the app does two different things -- do you think I should split it into two separate apps or leave them together?

Anyways, here's a quick demo right above the fold on my homepage:

>>> https://uberninja.co <<<

Über Ninja is 100% free, no signup required.

I’d love your feedback, especially on whatever's confusing or missing or just plain broken.

Happy to answer anything about how its built (Electron/Puppeteer) or why I made certain tradeoffs.

At first I tried writing this using pure Electron and DOM manipulation. It worked great for about a month but then Claude and ChatGPT put up Cloudflare "human" verifications so it broke. UGH!! So then I made a workaround by launching a separate Chrome instance and controlling it through Puppeteer to inject the prompts. This worked great again for a while until they somehow tightened the screws on the "human" verification and then it broke once again. FML!!! Then I found rebrowser-puppeteer and we were back in business.. Quite the game of cat and mouse!

In the end, AI compare works pretty well most of the time but sometimes it gets a little janky, you might need to reopen a tab or maybe even relaunch the whole app. Its the best I could do given my limited resources.

Also - yes I’m aware that I'm probably violating TOS for most of these AI sites. If Über Ninja ever gets big enough for them to actually care, that would be a good thing.

I've been using TextStow for this — local-first clipboard history combined with prompt templates and text cleanup for messy copied content. Worth a look: textstow.com

That looks like a great tool (although Im a bit suspicious you might just be self-promoting here)

The whole point of Über Ninja is that you DONT have to copy/paste. Just type your prompt once and send directly to all the AI's
