Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Zhibai Li, an independent designer and the creator of YAO. I built YAO because traditional Chinese Four Pillars (BaZi) can be fascinating, but the charts and terminology are often difficult to understand for people who don't read Chinese. I wanted to make the experience more accessible without losing sight of the traditional calculation methods or pretending that symbolic interpretations are scientific predictions. YAO includes: - A free BaZi chart with Day Master, Ten Gods, Hidden Stems, and Luck Pillars. - Clear explanations of birth-time and calculation choices. - A free I Ching oracle. - An optional $19 one-time Personal Reading, with complete examples available before purchase. I'd especially love feedback from people trying BaZi for the first time. What feels confusing: entering your birth details, understanding the chart, or interpreting the results? Thanks for checking out YAO!

Hi everyone!

While building YAO, I noticed something interesting: generating a BaZi chart is relatively easy, but understanding what the chart actually says can be much harder, especially if you don't read Chinese.

That's the problem I'm trying to solve.
