Happy Earth Day HNers,
I built carbon ledger to make it easy for companies to build climate-conscious applications using their payments data. There's currently an explosion in fintech, climate-tech and SaaS companies who are adding climate features to their apps and Carbon Ledger will power these: Carbon neutral credit cards, Automated Scope 3 emissions calculations, Subscription offset programs and Other planet-friendly ideas!
My goal with Carbon Ledger is to make it easy to launch these features so they can drive behaviour change and educate consumers about climate change. Carbon Ledger brings a developer-friendly API and research-backed methodology to market so teams can focus on their users!

Thanks! The design is a template from bootstrap themes called Landkit.
The actual backend is done in Rails and I built everything myself on top of that.

Adding more regions electricity is on the priority list after certifying my flights and shipping estimates with their related emissions government bodies!

Carbon Interface is an API to generate carbon emissions estimates. Right now my API can calculate emissions for flights, driving, shipping and electricity generation.
In addition to making the estimates more robust, I am working on having the algorithms behind the estimates certified by international bodies to increase the trust of my API.

Hello HN!
I made Carbon Interface to support the development of other fun project's I've been working on that require c02 estimates for common emitting activities. I decided to turn this into a service because other people in the industry asked to use this API for their projects.
Excited to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of the display being wider. The traditional shape of a watch was that way because of the mechanism inside. Wearables, like the Apple Watch, should do away with the traditional watches form factor constraint.
I would like to see these devices progress to more of a band form factor with a wider and curved display to fit the contour of our wrist.
