Show HN: I built AI that turns 4 hours of financial analysis into 30 seconds I built Duebase AI to solve a problem I kept running into in fintech - analyzing UK company financial health takes forever. The process usually goes: download PDFs from Companies House → manually extract data to spreadsheets → calculate ratios → interpret trends. Takes 3-4 hours per company and requires serious financial expertise. The technical challenge: Companies House filings are messy. Inconsistent formats, complex accounting structures, missing data, and you need to understand UK accounting standards to make sense of it all. My approach:

Parse 15M+ UK company records from Companies House API Built ML models to extract and normalize financial data from varied filing formats Created scoring algorithms that weight liquidity, profitability, leverage, and growth trends Generate 1-5 health scores with explanations in plain English

What it does:

Instant financial analysis of any UK company (30 seconds vs 4 hours) Real-time monitoring with alerts for new filings/director changes Risk detection that catches declining trends early No financial background needed to understand results

The hardest part was handling the data inconsistencies - UK companies file in different formats, use various accounting frameworks, and often have incomplete information. Had to build a lot of data cleaning and normalization logic. Currently focused on the UK market since I know the regulatory landscape well, but the approach could work for other countries with similar public filing systems. Link: https://duebase.com

Show HN: Mist – a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS

Show HN: Mist – a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS Hi HN,<p>We’re building Mist, a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS for running and managing applications on your own servers.<p>We started Mist because we wanted a middle ground between raw VPS management and heavy, all-in-one platforms. Existing PaaS solutions often felt too complex or resource-intensive for small servers, homelabs, and side projects. We wanted something that keeps the PaaS experience but stays simple and predictable.<p>Our goals with Mist are: - A simple PaaS to deploy and manage apps on your own infrastructure - HTTPS, routing, and app access handled automatically - Low resource usage so it runs well on small VPSes - Self-hosted and transparent, with minimal magic<p>Mist focuses on being an opinionated but lightweight layer on top of your server. It doesn’t try to hide everything behind abstractions, but it does aim to remove the repetitive operational work that comes with managing apps by hand.<p>Mist is still early, and this is where we really need help. We’re actively looking for:<p>- Users who want a simple self-hosted PaaS and can share real-world feedback<p>- Contributors who want to help shape the core features, architecture, and UX<p>Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trymist.cloud" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trymist.cloud</a><p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;corecollectives&#x2F;mist" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;corecollectives&#x2F;mist</a>
