Hey DEV! Quick launch announcement — my side project BU: I Ching & Daily Fortune is live on Product Hunt today. 🔮
What it is: An Android app that casts I Ching hexagrams the traditional way, then uses AI to interpret them in plain language — no classical Chinese required. It also includes a daily fortune (work, love, wealth), love & career readings, Chinese zodiac insights, and a traditional tongshu almanac. Fully bilingual EN/CN, free, no ads.
Why I built it: I got into the Yijing last year and kept hitting the same wall — apps that cast properly but explain everything in classical Chinese, or "AI fortune" apps with no real casting mechanics behind them. I'm a software PM, not a mystic, so I wanted something that respects the tradition but speaks like a human. I wrote about the build process here: https://dev.to/yanghaorun/i-built-an-ai-assisted-i-ching-app-for-android-heres-what-i-learned-about-digital-divination-hng
Launch day offer: I'm doing free mini-readings for the first 20 commenters on our Product Hunt page — drop a question on your mind and I'll cast + interpret it right there in the comments.
If you've ever been curious about the I Ching but bounced off the classical texts, this might be your entry point. Honest feedback welcome — especially from anyone who actually reads.
