Show HN: Generate never-before-seen storyboards for Rick and Morty episodes
5 by nutellalover | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Rick and Mortify is a system we built for creating never-before-seen episodes of Rick and Morty by leveraging the state-of-the-art in generative AI. These days generative AI is so hot right now. It promises to revolutionize all aspects of creative work from copywriting and image creation, to video and audio synthesis. Given the rapid progress of AI, when will we see an AI system listed in the closing credits of your favorite feature-length film? Rick and Mortify is a tool we built to demonstrate that future is closer than you might think. Our tool uses the state-of-the-art in large vision and language models to create never-before-seen episodes of Rick and Morty with minimal human intervention. All the plot points, dialogue, and accompanying visuals are generated with machine learning. Why use Rick and Morty as a case-study? Because 1) given the show's complex narrative structure and character profiles, it offers an ambitious north star for generative AI systems and 2) that show is the bomb and as AI researchers, we want to make Rick proud. Rick and Mortify is only scratching the service of what is possible and we're excited to see what you create with it. If you've been thinking about AI-driven story generation, we'd love to hear from you!

Show HN: Tandem – An Engine for Secure Multi-Party Computation (Written in Rust)
5 by skoodge | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Tandem is a cryptographic engine for executing programs using Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), which allows 2 parties to compute a function without revealing their private inputs. The classic example from cryptography is the millionaires' problem, where two millionaires compute who is richer without revealing their wealth to each other. MPC has in the past been mostly confined to academia, but thanks to some recent papers has finally become fast enough for practical applications. Tandem uses Garbled Circuits, encrypted circuits consisting of boolean gates. While there have been other implementations based on these ideas, Tandem tries to provide a much better user experience than previous attempts. For example, the Tandem repo includes a server, a command line client and client libs for wasm and native architectures. To make it easier to run practical applications, programs can be written in Garble, a custom Rust-like programming language that compiles to Garbled Circuits. (The most practical application to date using Tandem is "Encryptle", a Wordle clone that runs entirely over MPC. Depending on latency, a client/server exchange takes about 400ms, which makes the UX very similar to the real Wordle, with the twist that the server cannot see the guess in plain text and the browser cannot see the solution in plain text. Instead, guess and solution are kept private and compared using MPC.)

Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data
5 by nickforall | 0 comments on Hacker News.
If we want better web3 experiences, developers need better tools. RPC nodes are really good at executing transactions, however they are notoriously cumbersome to set up, and reading large chunks of data is not very efficient: To show a list of transactions and receipts, nodes have to re-execute smart contract code on entire blocks. For every read call. Not great at scale. Which is why everyone is building ETLs to move data from the chain into their own database. This GraphQL API is our first step in allowing developers to spend more time on building product, rather than ETL infrastructure.

Hey HN! I wanted to share a project that I've been working on for a while and finally "completed" (until next time I try to improve it, that is). The idea is that I wanted my guest wifi password to change frequently, but I also didn't want my guests to hate me every time they came over to visit. Hence be_my_guest was born. Please let me know what you think!

Show HN: Bulwark Passkey – A virtual Yubikey-like device for 2FA or WebAuthN
2 by cmdli | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey y'all, This is something I've been working on for a few months. It is a passkey system, similar to Apple Passkeys or a Yubikey, but it is entirely software based so you can sync credentials between devices. Passkeys (and FIDO devices in general) allow you to use public keys instead of passwords or codes to authenticate. For instance, you can just click "Approve" on the device/software instead of having to copy a code, and there are no passwords to phish. This is a new piece of tech, so website support for logins are still limited, but it can currently be used for 2FA anywhere a Yubikey can be used. Bulwark Passkey emulates the USB device in software, which allows you to sync credentials as well as copy them out. This is less secure than a dedicated hardware device, where credentials can never by copied or removed from the device, but it is much, much more secure and usable than passwords or one-time codes. Please take a look, and I appreciate any feedback you might have!

Show HN: Jektex – Fast server side rendering of latex for Jekyll
2 by yagarea | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello! This is my first attempt of creating, publishing and maintaining my own package. I have a blog with something around 4000 latex expressions. Client side rendering using latex was super slow and some phones did not render it properly. I tried some KaTeX plugins for server side rendering but they were painfully slow (on my laptop it took more than 5 min to build). So I decided to learn some ruby and create latex rendering plugin by my self. So I created jektex. Jektex is a Jekyll plugin for fast server side cached LaTeX rendering, with support for macros and is very configurable. Now I can render y entire blog in 2 seconds on same laptop. I will be very happy for any feedback or advice. Have a nice day

Show HN: Use DALL-E 2 to generate custom wall art
10 by mful | 1 comments on Hacker News.
The earliest version of this idea came a couple years ago, when I moved into the first place I finally cared enough about to invest in. I wanted wall art that matched my style, but couldn’t find much within my budget. I wanted items that were congruent with my home, and wasn’t really looking for pieces with great stories or that took courage to produce or anything else that makes truly great art great. But I just couldn’t find anything I liked. Doing some research, I discovered StyleGAN and similar technologies. I found they were amazing at certain tasks, like turning photos to impressionist paintings, but were too limited to create the stuff I was most interested in. So I moved on. Fast forward to today, the recent advances in generative imagery made it seem like the time might finally be right for this idea. So with a kick in the tuchus from fellow HN'er lowe0292, we decided to build it. We use DALL-E 2 for generating images and SharpJS for the under-the-hood image manipulation. We use a service to upscale the images before printing, but will eventually run our own setup with Real-ESRGAN or similar. Feedback very much appreciated :)

Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework
6 by donaldpakkies | 0 comments on Hacker News.
About a year ago, I stumbled upon a new Nodejs language called "Imba", I found this language to be interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential. Doing a bit of digging, I realized no one had created a framework for it, so what did a normal dev do? Well, a normal dev went ahead and created another Nodejs Framework, only this time it was meant for Imba. So what did I create? I created a batteries included Framework heavily inspired by Laravel but it runs on Nodejs, and uses Imba as the default language, but you can actually use TypeScript or JavaScript. In fact, when creating a new project using the Framework, you will be asked if you want to use "Imba" or "TypeScript". You can scaffold an Imba SPA or MPA, you can even use React or Vue, it all depends on what you are used to. For more information, you can visit https://ift.tt/8UoEiKB Keen to hear your thoughts

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations
7 by pveierland | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! I want to show you MyNixOS.com - a website I've been working on this year to make it easy to create and share Nix and NixOS configurations. Nix is a powerful tool to deploy software in a reproducible way, and with NixOS you can control your whole operating system through a declarative configuration. Starting out with Nix was exciting, but it definitely had a challenging learning curve. This made me start building a website focused on making it easier to create and share Nix flakes, which are the core unit of software deployment in Nix. Using the website, you can create flakes without knowing the Nix configuration language, as the necessary Nix files are generated for you. A few examples of what you can do right now: 1: Create and build a Docker image with Redis and OpenSSH running NixOS: https://ift.tt/68TBdya / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM 2: Create a Nix development shell with Neovim and Zig and run it on Windows 11: https://ift.tt/WEUPAVp / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q72mGjYXA 3: Create a reproducible macOS environment using nix-darwin and Home Manager: https://ift.tt/Yqdw5H2 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Y7s1sRSUY 4: Create a Linode server image using NixOS running Nginx with Let's Encrypt: https://ift.tt/KOsuSvm / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4X0fjD0-Y 5: Create a Raspberry Pi NixOS image running Transmission and OpenSSH: https://ift.tt/tRp3KmB / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0H92-JdHA The site works directly with the Nix command line tool, and generates pure Nix flakes without any custom formats. The website is currently in alpha and is developed as a closed source project. Some interesting upcoming features include support for language environments such as Python, and the ability to install arbitrary versions of packages. By posting on HN, I'm especially looking to get in contact with early commercial users of Nix to learn more about the most important use-cases to solve. Hoping that you will find the site useful, and I'll happily try to answer any questions you might have!

I've made a primitive tools to record GIF files. There's many tools like this, but I was inspired by VHS[0]. The thing is, VHS requires ffmpeg and chromium to create GIFs and videos, which is a nice approach, but it's too heavy for my taste. Basically, I forked a simple terminal emulator[1] written in plain C and added commands to write output straight to a GIF file[2]. It's stil a WIP pet-project, but I believe it could be usefull for someone, for example, to create animated illustrations for documentation, blog posts and such.

I wanted a way to quickly generate new Spotify playlists from my library based on some simple user inputs. There are probably a bunch of songs floating around in old playlists that you will never listen to again so the Spotify Playlist Recycling Plant is an attempt to resurrect these forgotten gems! At the heart of this tool is a simple custom algorithm that uses Spotify's 5000+ unique genres to find similar artists. It works well for my purposes but everybody uses Spotify differently so I'd love some feedback :) Built using React and the Spotify Web API.

Show HN: Organize Carpools with Co-Workers
2 by WestCoastJustin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Here's something I've been working on to help employees find carpooling options with co-workers. With inflation & gas prices going up this seems like a really good thing to have going forward. Happy to have any feedback and I'll roll it back into the site. Thank you! https://ift.tt/w5PNChq This is a repost after 10 weeks of working on the feedback from HN with code updates and a website redesign [1]. I submitted this before and there was very good feedback about target audience, need to show benefits, etc. Basically, I had a website that looked like it was designed by a programmer. I'd spent 95% of the work on the backend systems and 5% on the website. I've tried to majorly improve the website with screenshots and demos now. [1] https://ift.tt/skU0X3E

Show HN: General Task, a free task manager for builders (beta)
17 by jreinstra | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hello everyone! I left my job to start General Task a little over a year ago, and have been building a better free task manager with a small team. We aim to be the best place where one can find what’s next in their workday and we integrate with a number of different services to help do that. We’re still in the early stages of a beta, but so far you can: - Create/edit tasks with due dates, priorities, and folders - Drag tasks onto your calendar to block off time to do them (syncs with GCal) - Sync with Linear (JIRA coming soon) to see tasks assigned to you - Sync with Github to see your PRs - Integrate with Slack to make tasks directly from Slack What sets us apart? We know there are tons of task managers out there. We believe ours is different because it is tailor-made for engineers, with integrations for Github PRs, Linear and Slack. We also support dragging tasks onto your calendar, which is usually only found in premium paid products, while our consumer product is free and always will be. Our mission is to make knowledge workers more productive, and we believe the best way to do that is by focusing on software engineers and achieving mass adoption of a free consumer product before releasing a paid product for businesses. Let us know what you think! NOTE: We currently only support Google sign-in, sorry about that! We will be adding more login options soon. If you don't want to sign in with Google, you can see a quick 1 minute demo of our features here: https://youtu.be/NUOIH2On_Nw

I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.

Show HN: Life Skills Website
2 by DLarsen | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Over a year ago, I purchased a small online business selling life skills curriculum to homeschool and special education families. The main asset was the library of 400+ lessons, each including a short video and PDF. The revenue appeared to reflect meaningful demand for such a program. At the time I purchased the business, the delivery mechanisms were pretty fragmented and browsing the lessons was all behind the paywall. Today I'm releasing a whole new website that brings (I hope) a more modern experience. Principally you can now browse all of the life skills library. I'm also hoping that this approach lends itself to better SEO as well. While this is pretty far from being able to sustain the family from an income perspective, it's been really neat to connect with families who are taking the initiative to raise capable young adults.

Hi When you are learning a new language, you need to practice different skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing. I find writing to be the hardest activity, not least because I have to look up words in the dictionary all the time, and that is a frustrating context switch. Here is an experimental CodeMirror-based editor, that lets you look up translations inline. Type @ followed by the English word, and get a list of possible translations, and select the translation to apply it. Online demo: https://ift.tt/EyvSnIt

2 by rurtrack | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I know mentioning Michael Seibel is almost cheating, but this week he demonstrated the "leaky pipes" concept to me. Not that I know the guy, but in one of his videos he says something on the lines of "If you are unsure if you app is ready to be launched, just launch it. It's like a house with leaky pipes, just open the main, grab your tools, and start fixing wherever water is leaking". So we did it, we launched drummy earlier this week on /r/InternetIsBeautiful and we got very close to 10k users in just one day! Survived the hug of death, learned a ton, and made changes all around. Still a ton of bugs to fix, features to be written, but at least now we can proudly present the "dummy drums challenges". Can you find the missing beats?

Show HN: Narrative BI – Turn marketing data into automated narratives
8 by micrum | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Michael and Yury here – we're building a no-code analytics platform for growth teams that automatically generates actionable data insights. After working in the data space for many years, we realized there was still a huge gap in the marketing analytics market. Growth teams have so much marketing and advertising data, yet this siloed data is not actionable. The existing BI and search-driven analytics solutions are designed for data-savvy people. In our experience (previously built an NLP company called FriendlyData), non-technical people just don't know what questions to ask. So we decided to try a different approach: Narrative BI automatically generates a personalized feed of insights. You just need to connect your data sources (takes 2 min to set up), and you will get automated narratives, alerts, and reports in minutes. We currently support UA, GA4, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads, but many more integrations will be added soon. You can try it out for free and give feedback or roast it in the comments section. Just connect your data source, and you'll start getting narratives in 5 minutes.

Show HN: I Built a Gaming GeoGuessr
2 by lewisedc | 0 comments on Hacker News.
My friend and I made a fully featured gaming geoguessr - complete with 360 degree panoramas, movement, leaderboards, and multiplayer. We had made a Fortnite geoguessr a while back, and although this was well received, our goal always was to bring the worlds of all games to the browser. A much harder task considering the scale and scope of many open world games. We had to make a bunch of tools to be able to achieve this. World of Warcraft alone took us roughly 3,000,000 images to do (and will likely need another 1,000,000 for Dragonflight once it releases). We are finally at a point where we are happy to release this into the wild and let people try it, although we are still working hard on adding all the games that are listed as coming soon. If you're ever bored, and would like to test your gaming map knowledge - or would just like to explore the world in your browser akin to Google StreetView, you can check us out at https://lostgamer.io

2 by warangal | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I am Anubhav from Ramanlabs. We have been working on a native gui application to allow users to search any video data( mp4, mkv) or video streams (http/rtsp) using computer vision. Application is supposed to work like a video player which displays decoded frames and recognizes objects concurrently, making it an interactive experience. It works in super real-time and only expects a quad-core CPU with AVX2 instructions at minimum. Application is free to download (without any signup/account). We are only supporting WINDOWS for now [0]. Even though this is a binary application, we have ZERO telemetry/analytics builtin. User interface is limited for now, and definitely needs more work. But we are releasing it here for early feedback/bugs. We would love for you to try it out and hear your thoughts/feedback. [0] We should also have a linux version ready in few days.

Show HN: Dlna-cast, a command line tool to cast PC screen to DLNA devices
2 by link89 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
dlna-cat is a cross-platform command-line tool that casts screen and media file to remote DLNA device. dlna-cast uses ffmpeg to capture screen and audio, then convert them into HLS streams which could be served by a simple HTTP server. The HLS url will be send to the selected device via uPnP protocol and then you can watch you screen on the remote device (smart TV, typically). This tool is supposed to be cross-platform but currently I don't have a Linux or MacOS device at hand so it can only run on Windows now. It won't be hard to support other platforms though, as there are no platform specific dependencies. HLS is chosen just because it is easy to implement. But the problem of HLS is its high latency (up to 5-10s or more) so it's definitely not for scenarios that require low latency (presentation for example). But as a trade-off the streaming quality exceeds a lot of software screen-casting solutions (Lebocast for example) that have been tested by myself, which make it pretty good to stream music or video playing from your PC to TV.

Show HN: I created a site to make AI generated photos of your pet
2 by petpic_ai | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I have Goats and a camel as my pets and I recently saw some very cool AI-generated pictures so I decided to build a startup with my 19 y/o brother where you can generate these AI photos for your pet. I thought this could be a cool idea for crazy pet owners who want to create new memories with their pet or to get new photos of a deceased pet. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

Show HN: A tiny WASM compiler and runtime for demonstration purposes
4 by thomscoder | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I'm building a WebAssembly compiler and documenting the process in the meantime. This aims to be a tool for demonstration and education purpose. It doesn't aim to do fancy stuff nor to replace existing ones. I'm building this to learn and to improve and hopefully it can be useful for others as well :) From last time I've presented the idea, I've implemented more basic features on Luna and I've built a custom and tiny runtime for Luna! (documenting it of course). Any feedback is really appreciated :) Repo: https://ift.tt/WT8ByFx

Show HN: Kira – a fast and scalable sandbox code execution engine
2 by flowy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Greeting HN, I would like to present my project I've been worked on the several months. It is a fast and scalable general purpose remote code execution engine. The goal of this project was to get to know golang a bit better and. Currently, kira is in its early stage, and currently it does not support multiple files. However, I am constantly trying to work on this project and improve it. Feel free, to give me feedback in any way! Thank you :) The main ideas for this project: * Fast and secure remote code execution engine that is scalable, * Logging of the code executions, * Test runner that executes custom unit tests (for building something like leetcode), * Future: custom docker environments to have long-term projects

Show HN: Eleven – Free, open-source, Codespaces alternative with automatic HTTPS
3 by jeremylevy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Eleven is the second project that I've built to learn Go. It lets you create code sandboxes, in your cloud provider account, easily. What's a "code sandbox"? Just a VM, running in your cloud provider account, with some runtimes pre-installed, your repositories cloned, a way to connect to it with your preferred editor (or via SSH) and a way to serve your apps easily via HTTP (with automatic HTTPS). You could use it as a remote development environment, to test some code or even to deploy your app. It's up to you. For example, to deploy a Node.JS app: $ eleven aws init hello-world --runtimes node@18.7.0 --repositories eleven-sh/hello-world > Success! The sandbox "hello-world" was initialized. $ ssh eleven/hello-world forever node index.js > Forever: command started. Run "forever stop" in current path to stop. $ eleven aws serve hello-world 8000 --as hello.eleven.sh > Success! The port "8000" is now reachable at: https://hello.eleven.sh $ curl https://hello.eleven.sh > Hello World Still learning Go by the way, so I'm open to any suggestions to improve.

Hi everyone, ShowMeYourHotKeys is a macOS application I worked for the last months. This app shows the frontmost app's menu items shortcuts (it also have some other features) There is a beta version available on the website. Accessibility permission is necessary to obtain menu items informations and Full disk Access is necessary to create custom shortcuts. I would love to hear all the feedbacks and suggestions. Thank you for your attention.

Show HN: A little side project, a watercolor art generator
39 by nfriend | 17 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN - this is a little side project I threw together. Some implementation details: image processing is all done with headless GIMP (running inside a Docker container) through its built-in Python API. It's _very_ slow (about 50 seconds/image), and currently it processes exactly one image at a time. The website is built with NextJS; payments are processed by Stripe. I've had the best results with pictures of houses, although certain photos of people or nature can look neat, too. (For example: https://ift.tt/4o60iZW , original photo from https://ift.tt/FvzAexH .) The effect obscures the edges of the photo, so images with plenty of margin around the subject work best. Something I'd like to play around with is swapping the GIMP script for an AI-based process (maybe using something like Stable Diffusion?), with the goal of generating images that look more handmade (something like these: https://ift.tt/ZwsB5af ). I have exactly zero AI experience though, so there would be a bit of a learning curve. Would love any thoughts or critiques! ---- edit: remove unrelated details

Show HN: An API for CO₂ Removal
20 by kisamoto | 16 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, We're Fabienne and Ewan of Climacrux. Today we're proud to launch our latest project to try and make carbon dioxide removal as accessible as possible: CDR Platform [1]. In short: it’s an API to connect to a portfolio of carbon removers. You can purchase from as low as a single gram and select from both natural and technological removal methods. Longer: A couple of years ago we launched an alternative to carbon credits, Carbon Removed[2], designed for individuals to buy and subscribe to CDR. But we always had the nagging thought that there was more that could be done. CDR Platform is our foundation for that - a simple API to get prices and purchase (at the moment). Our plan is to become the Stripe of the carbon removal ecosystem, seamlessly connecting the supply to the demand. We’d love to hear your feedback. Do you see a use case for this and would you use it? What features have we missed? Do you understand what we’re doing and if not, what’s unclear? We’d love to hear from you.[3] Many thanks and happy hacking, Climacrux. P.s. If you are a carbon remover, send us your prices, life cycle analysis and some more information about your removal timeline. Our aim is to bring your services to a wider audience so you can focus on reducing our CO₂ levels. Thanks for your work! [1] https://ift.tt/2SryBcX [2] https://ift.tt/xHQyD36 [3] ewan@climacrux.com

Show HN: FAQify – Algolia for FAQs using GPT-3
3 by fatihcelikbas | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! My name is Fatih and I’d like to share FAQify - a project I’ve been working on this week. FAQify is a tool that answers questions about Amazon products using GPT-3. Simply paste the link to an Amazon product and ask your question! The app will generate a good answer based on the textual data on the product webpage. The current version of FAQify is a simple POC, but I hope to expand it to be something like Algolia for question-answering. The idea is to build a widget that you can integrate with any website. You give it both text on your page but also external data like user manuals. Once it’s trained on these texts, it will be able to help your customers get answers to their questions 10x faster. This can be useful in many domains such as e-commerce websites, code documentations, and blogs. If you have any feedback or other use cases in mind, feel free to email me at contact@faqify.ai. Thank you!

Show HN: Hstream – quick Python web apps (Streamlit alternative using htmx)
1 by conradbez | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I love Streamlit but have run into many situation where taking it from PoC to MVP state is insurmountable. With all the recent HN hype around htmx and sematic html / classless css I decided to build a Streamlit alternative using these on top of FastAPI. This has a couple advantages: 1) easier to extend when you move past PoC since the FastAPI app is exposed (allowing adding more routes) and hstream acts more like a typical web stack 2) with htmx and html (plus MVP.css) doing the heavy lifting the package is alot less complex and easier to reason about - and hopefully more performant eventually 3) html is simple, so using this we can give the user much more control around the look and feel, while falling back onto MVP.css (classless css) sane defaults. Would love to hear people's thoughts.

Show HN: Practice for Your YC Interviews with Betafi
8 by sherbondy | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi folks, Betafi is a product feedback platform build around moderated user interviews and usability testing sessions. To help folks applying for the W23 batch with interviews coming up this week, we just launched a project templates feature and catered onboarding for fellow founders to practice and conduct mock YC interviews with each other. You can use Betafi's interview script feature, "instant tags," and timestamped notes to take turns annotating rough spots and practicing rapid-fire responses to questions with your cofounder(s), to try and make the most out of those 10 minutes during your real YC interview. A big part of the joy of building Betafi is getting to support other early-stage founders who wind up using our product in interesting and creative ways. This project came out of several teams applying to the W23 batch, who organically started using Betafi to help prepare for their interviews, so we thought we might as well build "first class" support for it! Do let us know what you think, keen to hear your feedback, especially given this is a slightly different use-case from what we initially designed the product for!

Show HN: Supertweak – a visual devtools extension for Tailwind CSS
2 by althaffe | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi folks, I've been working on a visual devtool chrome extension for Tailwind CSS for quite some time now and just launched in recently. It let's you tweak your website from the browser itself and copy the classes or html afterwards to paste in your IDE. It's especially well suited to try out changes quickly, but I've built most of the landing page with the help of the extension itself. You can try it out in the landing page itself (no need to install anything). Features: - Click on any class (eg: px-4) and try out other values easily. - Preview the website in responsive mode and quickly toggle between breakpoints. auto detects breakpoints set in the config. - Quickly try out new variants. Supports arbitrary variants too. - Lets you try out arbitrary and negative property values. - Add, remove or re-order elements. - Edit element attributes and text nodes etc. I'm excited to share it here and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Show HN: Open-source load testing on AWS Lambda. With built-in cost reporting
7 by hassy | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hiya HN! tldr: Artillery is an open-source load testing toolkit. It's cloud-native, i.e. you can scale out your test with AWS Lambda (other runtimes coming soon). There's no infra to set up or manage - you give Artillery an AWS account, and it takes care of the rest. We just released an update which includes cost reporting. Every time you run a load test, Artillery will show how much that cost in AWS Lambda fees. Blog post with a demo here: https://ift.tt/w2K3Eqk The demo shows a distributed load test running in us-east-1 at 100k+ RPS for about 10 minutes. Total cost is $1.23. We constantly hear from our users how cost is one of the biggest barriers to load testing more frequently. We're making cost much less of a factor with Artillery, and hoping that will unlock load testing at scale to more teams. Would love to hear what the biggest barriers are for you with load testing!

Show HN: Auto-file bugs to GitHub issues with console logs and network requests
8 by irtefa | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, my team and I have been working on a new tool to improve how bugs are reported to engineers. I used to be a developer, and I thought it was ridiculous the little amount of bug repro details I would get in JIRA tickets. Then I became a product manager, and I realized how time consuming and tedious it was to write good tickets for developers (and then understood why most tickets lack enough detail!) That’s why my team and I decided to build a browser extension for anyone to create bug reports that auto-include: console logs, network requests, session replay, timestamp, url, browser, OS and device specs, and wifi speed. With this extension, it’s faster than the old-school way to report bugs (a few clicks, plus no switching tabs). And, for the developer receiving the bug reports, it should be faster to debug because all the information is right there. We started with a Chrome extension and soon we’re going to build extensions for other browsers too. (Which should we add next? We’re thinking Firefox). We built this in react, typescript, mobx, and graphql. It’s privacy-focused: everything happens locally on your browser until you choose to share, and you can even select which specific websites you want the extension to run on in settings. Today we shipped an integration with GitHub - meaning it’s now just a few seconds to create a really good GitHub issue. I hope you check it out and I hope it helps bring about the end of bad tickets for you and your team! If you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know here!

Mastodon is cool, but finding the first people to follow on other servers and figuring out how to follow them is a messy experience. I quickly hacked together this prototype site to see if it was possible to have Twitter-style follow suggestions where you can click and follow someone without manually copy-and-pasting links from Google sheets into search bars. It was also an excuse to see how Mastodon's remote-follow API works. The following is done client-side so no information is shared with this server.

Show HN: Metadocs, kinda like Reddit, but built into every documentation ever
2 by ritinkar | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I'm Ritinkar and I'm building metadocs, which is kind of like reddit built into every documentation ever. It's a chrome extension that allows discussion on any webpage to happen there itself. Currently I have built threaded comments, and a upvote/downvote system. Plus I've built this cool feature called Highlights, which lets you discuss specific lines in any documentation. As well as a feature called Top Hightlights, which shows the most interesting hightlights on any webpage. Hope you guys will try it out. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here. Thanks.

Show HN: Text-to-Figma
2 by _jayhack_ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! I've made a NLUI for Figma. This is based on GPT-3 (for generating components & schemas) and Dall-E 2 (for image generation); it's remarkably flexible already and there's plenty of room to expand. One of the more noteworthy features is the ability to edit existing designs instead of just generating things from scratch - we accomplish this by training it on pairs of (before, after) designs in Figma with a description of what changed, and it learns to output the diff based on the description of the change. Let me know what you think!

Show HN: RxJS Insights – a toolset for RxJS visualization
2 by kszksz | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I'd like to present you the thing that I'm building - the RxJS Insights. It was primarily created as something that allows for debugging complex RxJS streams, but after showing it to a few people it turned out that it might be more helpful in learning RxJS since it can visualize the observables execution step by step. The setup is somewhat similar to the Redux Devtools' one in a sense that it requires an application level component (the proper @rxjs-insights/* packages) to instrument the RxJS and to connect with the devtools. I invite you to try it out in your app (the setup is rather easy) or on StackBlitz (all links are in the readme). Thanks!

TLDR: Click the link to see some cool visualizations, refresh a few times for random examples, and try editing some of the code yourself. This is a small weekend project of mine inspired by shadertoy.com It's a static single-page site hosted on GitHub pages so the website design is pretty barebones. I'm not a web developer so I mainly wanted to create a Cool Thing with my free time and not have to learn tons of front-end to do it. I'd love to hear what people think about it and please post or send me any shaders you make! You can use the link button in the bottom right to share. I hope that this gets more people interested in shaders because GPU programming is a pretty different paradigm and learning it has made me a better software engineer even though my current job doesn't touch it. That said, textshader only runs normal Javascript on the CPU so think of it like a simplified sandbox and not the real thing. I'd highly recommend checking out shadertoy to level up to the real deal too!

Show HN: Lotus – Open-Source Pricing and Packaging Infrastructure
10 by mikaeln | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! We’re building an open-source pricing & packaging engine for SaaS with a built-in billing system. ( https://ift.tt/lqje6cG ). We strongly believe pricing is the largest untapped growth lever for SaaS, primarily because pricing affects so many critical systems that don’t talk to each other (billing, payments, feature limits, metering, and CRM). We’re building this infrastructure to fix this and enable quick experimentation. Lotus acts as a central repository for all of your pricing plans and utilizes your payment gateway, to manage usage-based, per-seat, and custom enterprise pricing. We’re excited to open-source this because we want to enable developers to build their custom pricing and integration edge cases on top of this base. We’ve launched this repo under an MIT license so any developer can use the tool. Give it a spin for us at either: * test our cloud version at ( https://ift.tt/7jolLt8 ) * self-host here ( https://ift.tt/lqje6cG ) and let us know what you think. All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, follow us and we’ll keep you updated when we’ve fully published all our beta features.

2 by thewizardpp | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I wrote the utility for searching the earliest root commit in a repository and the earliest repository in a repository group. Repositories are searched recursively in the specified base directories. The earliest root commit and the earliest repository in a repository group are determined in the two ways: by author datetime and by committer datetime. Collected data are represented in the JSON format. The utility is written in Python. I also tried to use type hints, data classes and generators as much as possible.

Show HN: Stable Diffusion print-on-demand apparel
9 by mox111 | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door. I wanted to make it easy to: - pick an artistic style - hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have (since speaking is more spontaneous that typing) - swipe among a variety of mockups (t-shirts, hoodies etc.) featuring your design, and order it to your door with the click of a button The product is called 1SEWN. Fulfilment is currently achieved using a print-on-demand service called Printful ( https://ift.tt/NWvAP2Q ) that I have integrated with. If you guys would like to try it, I would love some feedback. Shipping is currently limited to outside Europe, but even if you are in Europe, your feedback about the whole UX would be much appreciated! Much love, Matt

Show HN: Step CI – open-source lightweight alternative to Checkly
5 by Wissmueller | 0 comments on Hacker News.
In our last post, we showed that there is an easy way to generate automated tests for Rest APIs from your specification. Since the last release, we have added some new features: - Generate tests from your API spec in the CLI - Run tests against gRPC APIs automatically - Get request and response information when your tests fail - Generate fake data and use them in the requests - Bring your own test data (from .csv) - More intuitive CLI interface We built this because we wanted a simple, developer-friendly way to automate API testing without relying on cloud solutions. You can integrate it with Docker, GitHub Actions and Node. Your tests can have multiple steps, with shared context between them. Lastly, you can use it as a library and in combination with other testing tools like Jest, Ava, Mocha (and soon Insomnia). If you want to step out of locked-in cloud solutions, give our tool a try.

Show HN: We made metadata-secure video conferencing that's easy to use
8 by barathr | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, we're Barath and Paul. With our small and awesome team we built Booth to provide the kind of security in video conferencing that we always wanted but was never available: where the server doesn't learn anything about either the participants or their conversation, and it just works like normal in a browser. The problem is that we're all using video conferencing every day, and what used to be conversations within the four walls of conference rooms are now happening on various video conferencing services. They learn a ton of metadata and data about the who, what, when, and how of every conversation. And when they get breached or have an insider leak, there's valuable information at the end of the line that shouldn't be there in the first place. Our solution uses a classic idea we call the Decoupling Principle. The idea is to provide privacy and security online by splitting information architecturally and organizationally. That means two-party privacy for a service like Booth (in the current beta version of Booth, split between us and Fastly) and for functions like authentication and connectivity to be separated. (We wrote a paper on the Decoupling Principle with our collaborators at Fastly and Cloudflare that'll be published in a couple of weeks.) Booth uses our Multi-Party Relay (MPR) (that lives alongside / separate from Booth), which is similar to Apple's iCloud Private Relay. So the traffic between you and the video chat server goes through the MPR. To the server, a meeting looks like it's between a bunch of Relay server IPs. In Booth, the video and audio is end-to-end encrypted using Insertable Streams (an emerging WebRTC standard that is currently supported in chromium-based browsers). We also prevent local address leakage that normally happens in WebRTC ICE negotiation. We built Booth on top of the excellent Livekit project, which in turn is based upon Pion. You should be able to use Booth like you use other web-based video conferencing today -- create a meeting, share the link. Right now we haven't restricted the free offering, though eventually for capacity reasons we plan to. We have an enterprise offering with additional functionality that's in closed testing. Ultimately our goal is to add metadata security to the Internet – to all sorts of services that are out there. We'd love to work with anyone who'd like to add metadata security to what they provide today. Thanks!

Show HN: RealSkillz – PR based homework assignments, for hireing developers
2 by dominikdarnel | 0 comments on Hacker News.
RealSkillz helps you assess your developer candidates through real-world technical assignments. From several sources and also our own experience, we think that the process of hiring developers is broken. Currently most of the available interview platforms only provide arbitrary interview tasks their candidates. Most of the developer jobs does not require heavy algorithmic skills. Still most of the interviews focus on that. We think this is painful for the developers and for the companies alike. As a developer, you need to maintain a very specific set of skill just for your interviews, while you can rarely show how you really shine in a more realistic coding scenario. As a company, you select your candidate by an irrelevant interview task, having limited knowledge how the candidate works in a daily setting. RealSkillz aims to fix this broken hireing process by generating pull request based homework assignments for developer candidates. Pull Request based home work assignments, On real-world repositories.

Show HN: CrowdView – Discussions Search Engine (stop adding “Reddit” on Google)
11 by kbyatnal | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I built a quick prototype for my YC application and figured I'd share it with the HN community as well. CrowdView is a search engine for discussion sites (forums, message boards, Discord, and Twitter for now). Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information and conversations have moved to Discord, and niche forums are still alive on the web! But it's impossible to find these places because they rank so poorly on Google. So I built a search engine across a curated list of these (there's about 3000+ forums, message boards, and discords so far), making sure to remove any kind of SEO junk (blog spam, listicles, etc). Please try it out and share any feedback! (and bear with it, the results can be slow at times)

Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information and conversations have moved to Discord, and niche forums are still alive on the web! But it's impossible to find these places because they rank so poorly on Google. So I built a search engine across a curated list of these (there's about 3000+ forums, message boards, and discords so far), making sure to remove any kind of SEO junk (blog spam, listicles, etc). Please try it out and share any feedback! (and bear with it, the results can be slow at times)

Aurora is a project I built that was designed to be something meditative, delightful, and tactile, since so much of what I do on my devices is not! Here's a bit more on my process building it (tailored to be mostly non-technical): https://ift.tt/VrRIGat... I hope you enjoy it, and am eager to hear any feedback or ideas you all have.

Show HN: Track your bone health, help create better bone health treatments
5 by Abishek_Muthian | 0 comments on Hacker News.
When I was 32 years of age I was told that my bones were like that of an 80 year old due to a health disorder called Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can make our bones fragile and likely to break. 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 years and 1 in 5 men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime. It is likely that your parents and grand parents are already suffering from Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is identified using a Bone Mineral Density(BMD) scan test which gives scores for our bone density and is compared with the known scores from the healthy individuals of same age. I was told that these known scores does not include all races, ethinicities and are generally unreliable for those with pre-existing diseases. This makes it difficult for providing proper healthcare, Even more so for outliers like me. I'm attempting to change that with Bone Health Tracker. Bone Health Tracker classifies the Bone Mineral Density(BMD) scan test report to display the reports with visualizations to better understand the bone health and to monitor the progress of bone health treatments . 1. Healthcare providers currently have to manually compare the BMD reports of their patients every year to analyze the treatments, With Bone Health Tracker's dynamic chart feature they can now do it automatically and even patients can track the progress of their treatments. 2. Skeleton visualization helps to easily understand which bones are affected by Osteoporosis, Osteopenia even by those without prior medical training. 3. BMD scan test reports without any personal information can be submitted for the research of bone health and treatments for bone health diseases. No Protected Health Information (“PHI”) is collected during the entire function of Bone Health Tracker as only assessment section of the BMD scan test report is needed. If you (or) a family member has taken a BMD test, Consider using Bone Health Tracker to monitor the progress of your treatment and submitting the non-personal data for research. If you are researcher dealing with bone health, or know anyone who would be interested in the data gathered by the Bone Health Tracker and help improve it; Please get in touch. Thank you for reading.

Show HN: Eleven – Code sandboxes with automatic HTTPS
2 by jeremylevy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Eleven is the second project that I've built to learn Go. It lets you create a code sandbox in your cloud provider account easily. What's a "code sandbox"? Just a VM, running in your cloud provider account, with some runtimes pre-installed, your repositories cloned, a way to connect to it with your preferred editor (or via SSH) and a way to serve your apps easily via HTTP (with automatic HTTPS). You could use it to deploy your app, as a remote development environment or even to test some code. It's up to you. For example, to deploy a Node.JS app: $ eleven aws init hello-world --runtimes node@18.7.0 --repositories eleven-sh/hello-world > Success! The sandbox "hello-world" was initialized. $ ssh eleven/hello-world forever node index.js > Forever: command started. Run "forever stop" in current path to stop. $ eleven aws serve hello-world 8000 --as hello.eleven.sh > Success! The port "8000" is now reachable at: https://hello.eleven.sh $ curl https://hello.eleven.sh > Hello World Still learning Go by the way, so I'm open to any suggestions to improve.

Show HN: Time Travel for Billing Periods
2 by AnhTho_FR | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, Lago (YC S21 = Open-source metering and usage-based billing) founder here. Billing cycles are often a source of engineering complexity and confusion, so we made billing periods flexible in Lago: - If you want to migrate existing customers to Lago, you can set a billing period in the past. - If you just signed a new contract that will start in two weeks, you can set a start date in the future Other elements of flexibility: - Switch from 'calendar' to 'anniversary billing periods' within Lago - Assign multiple plans to a customer, and meter and charge usage separately (e.g., if your pricing looks like Heroku, Shopify or Webflow, for instance) Documentation: https://ift.tt/FvofO6n Github: https://ift.tt/4lnDXt3

Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU
63 by gsmecher | 11 comments on Hacker News.
RISC-V's compressed instruction (RVC) extension is intended as an add-on to the regular, 32-bit instruction set, not a replacement or competitor. Its designers intended RVC instructions to be expanded into regular 32-bit RV32I equivalents via a pre-decoder. What happens if we explicitly architect a RISC-V CPU to execute RVC instructions, and "mop up" any RV32I instructions that aren't convenient via a microcode layer? What architectural optimizations are unlocked as a result? "Minimax" is an experimental RISC-V implementation intended to establish if an RVC-optimized CPU is, in practice, any simpler than an ordinary RV32I core with pre-decoder. While it passes a modest test suite, you should not use it without caution. (There are a large number of excellent, open source, "little" RISC-V implementations you should probably use reach for first.)

Show HN: Wrote a tiny WebAssembly (wat2wasm) compiler in Go
7 by thomscoder | 0 comments on Hacker News.
As a personal project I wrote a really tiny Wat 2 Wasm compiler in Go. Mainly for demonstrative and educational purposes. It was tough: I didn't know anything about WebAssembly internals and I'm a newbie with Go... so I tried to document it as much as I could for anyone that would like to approach the quest in the future! It misses a lot of features (that will be gradually implemented). Any feedback is welcomed!! Demo: https://ift.tt/SuROniv
