Show HN: Maxims: a scrappy embedding visualizer and commonplace book replacement
2 by wyattsell | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I've been working on this little web-app in my spare time, in between my classes and over the summer holidays. I was frustrated by how many intersting quotes/tweets/photos I liked and then subsequently forgot. I wanted a way to keep track of all of them, and see how similar ideas and statements related to each other. Having seen https://atlas.nomic.ai/ , and other text embedding visualizations (via PCA, UMAP, t-SNE), I thought this would be a fun place to start. Here's an sharing link with some quotes I liked (mostly C.S. Lewis): https://ift.tt/hoOC1dJ Features: - Image uploads (no sharing support yet) - Tagging - Vector-based text search - Sharing points - Changing dimension reduction technique - Local first (syncing was a real pain, but it lead to a 10x speed boost) Disclaimer: This is just a project I made for fun. It is scrappy, hacky, janky, and so forth. There may (and likely will) be undiscovered bugs and issues. Please don't put any sensitive info into here. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think :) - Wyatt ( https://wyattsell.com )

Show HN: Htmf – literal HTML in Python f-strings
2 by jkmnt | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Kind of lit-html and other html`...` libraries, but in Python. It's a suite of: Few text processing utilities you could write in a hour Linter validating the f-expressions HTML beautifier VS Code syntax highlighter It was used to succesfully rebuild UIs of several internal CRUD-apps. Designed to replace the traditional jinja templates with something preserving type-safety and better IDE support. Keeping the models and templates in sync is much easier now. Maybe you would find it useful too.

Show HN: I made a GPU price comparison site for used and new cards
2 by Kristjan_Retter | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, Some time ago I wanted to buy a used GPU and due to having a tight budget, I wanted the best bang for my buck. So I decided to buy used. I searched for a comparison site that would compare used GPU prices but I could not find one so I decided to create one. This site compares used and new GPU prices on the US, Canada, UK and EU market

Show HN: Enhanci – tool to build a no-code pricing table for your website
2 by horprogs | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, Some time ago I noticed that there are a lot of outdated and simply saying ugly pricing pages in the internet, so I created a tool to build a modern pricing table using design templates and A/B tests. You could make a pricing table with a comparison plans table for your website (for example if you are a startup and wants to do it quickly and be able to customise it easily, or it would be useful if you offer some packages on your website). I'd be happy if you could play with it and give your feedback and if you have some ideas how to expand this product to be useful for more users.

Show HN: KittyCal – minimalist PWA calendar app for couples
4 by martin_dd | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi Fellow Hackers! I'm happy to share with you KittyCal, an installable calendar web app I made over the past two months. Existing calendar apps often focus on scheduling and require many steps to create one event. KittyCal, on the other hand, removes hourly scheduling and keeps everything on one screen. How does it work? Just enter your email address, and we will send you a pair of calendar links (blue and red). There is no login process, click the magic link or scan the QR code to access your calendar. You can then add the page to home screen and use it like a native app. Last year, I built a bare bones version of KittyCal for my partner and myself because we wanted a private calendar that launches instantly for casual note-taking. It's worked well for us since, and I'm hoping this multi-tenant version can benefit more people with similar needs. Please try it out and let me know what you think!

Show HN: Candix, a confidential, reverse recruiting platform
3 by tavoyne | 1 comments on Hacker News.
It's a site where you describe your ideal next job and get approached by top-paying startups. It’s confidential, ensuring that your current employer won’t find out. It's free for candidates, while we charge companies for access to the pool. They’re charged a subscription fee, not a traditional success fee, because it’s the only way to remain forever candidate-centric and not obsessed with placing profiles at any cost, like agencies are. I'm opposed to the AI trends in recruitment. Recruitment is opaque and needs more humanity in the process, not less. Consequently, we're stubborn about keeping humans involved at every level, from onboarding to support. This results in high operational costs, which we are working hard to streamline. Confidentiality is what truly sets Candix apart. It's a tricky concept in recruitment, though, as it needs to be balanced with recruiters' need to know about your background to make hiring decisions. Our approach is to protect access to the pool with NDAs and limit profile visibility to relevant companies only. Additionally, we limit points of access to one per company and thoroughly monitor all recruiter activity on the site to prevent any leakage. For those who are not open to receiving offers, one interesting feature is the option to mark your profile as unavailable. Interested companies won’t reach out, but they will be able to place an alert on your profile to be notified when this changes, effectively boosting your future search. We operate in the US and European markets, helping people connect with over seventy companies, such as OpenAI and Ramp. What do you think about the tool and its positioning?

Show HN: notesbash – A notes management TUI written in bash
2 by klimperfix | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello everybody! We (lukeflo and me) have made a little notes management tui written in bash based on fff by Dylan Araps, which we've improved a lot to make it a notes management tui. It uses your editor of choice to edit and create notes, you can fuzzy search your notes and search them by tags you give them by writing them in the markdown yaml or emacs org header. All in all it turned out to be a surprisingly good project that we now want to refine after just releasing v1.0, so any feedback, suggestions or criticism is very welcome!

Show HN: Valkey-Operator Kubernetes Operator for Valkey (Redis Fork)
4 by GrayTShirt | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi there, I've been working on a Kubernetes Operator to deploy and manage Valkey Cluster ( https://valkey.io ). I was unsatisfied with the existing options available, and felt that it didn't hurt to create a new one. I know a lot of folks are going to make the case that the Bitnami helm chart ( https://ift.tt/O9BQrAn... ) is good enough, or just use a cloud provider option is ideal. And for some use cases that makes sense, but for a lot of other use cases, especially testing, and multi-tenant SaaS offerings I think an Operator provides a reliable mechanism to satisfy the middle ground.

Show HN: Ell – A command-line interface for LLMs written in Bash
13 by simonmysun | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've created a CLI tool called "ell" that allows you to interact with LLMs directly from your terminal. Designed with the Unix philosophy in mind, ell is simple, modular, and extensible. You can easily pipe input and output to integrate with other tools. Its templates and hook-based plugins enable you to customize and extend its functionality to suit any needs. Check out the README for usage instructions and examples. I developed this tool because existing solutions often felt too heavy, with many dependencies, or they weren't friendly to piping and customization. I, on the contrary, wrote in almost pure Bash with least dependencies. Additionally, I found a lack of tools that could read past terminal output as context. Imagine encountering an issue in your terminal and being able to directly ask an LLM for help with a simple command—this is now possible with ell (see the demo video). Known limitations: - To maintain simplicity and efficiency, jq is used for JSON parsing. - Cannot avoid curl to sending HTTPS requests. If only there were SSL / TLS support in `/dev/tcp/`! - Perl is used to handle terminal escape sequences because regex in Bash does not support looking around. - Markdown syntax highlighting is not perfect due to the need for streaming output. It relies on a simple state machine instead of a full parser, which may produce falsy results. - Other known issues are listed in Github Issues. Please help add more! I welcome any criticism and suggestions, whether it's about the idea or code!

Hello HN, Mirror Cube is a Three.js based 3D model of a Rubiks cube variant. It keeps unscrambling itself doing random moves, but the moves are (ehm.. should be) synced across all devices. I built this over one week and I thought you might find it interesting. Let me know what you think and if you find any bugs! Martin

Show HN: We open sourced Verbis, a local AI assistant with SaaS connectors
2 by alexmavr | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone, Verbis is an AI assistant for MacOS that connects to applications such as Gmail, Gdrive, Outlook, Slack. I built Verbis to empower users with an LLM assistant without having to send any of their data to a third party, while also having the ease of installation of a MacOS application. I've seen a number of similar projects in this space: GPT4All, Swirl, PrivateGPT and more. However, there were one or more gaps in each of them: - You have to choose your model of choice, or even run it locally via ollama or llama.cpp - Pulling data from third party applications is often unsupported, or requires a complex service account token flow - Running the project requires having docker installed I wanted to make Verbis as easy as possible to install and set up, so we use our own choices of models for generation, and user-scoped OAuth tokens to allow integrations with third-party applications to be as simple as a consent screen. From a technical viewpoint, we have settled on Mistral 7B as the generation model, nomic-embed-text as the embedding model, Weaviate as the vector store, and ms-marco-MiniLM-L-12-v2 as the reranker model. On our next release we will be likely defaulting to LLama 3.1 8B for systems with more than 8G unified memory. Let me know if you have any feedback! I'd love to learn more about use cases where a fully private RAG pipeline makes sense
