Ask HN: Present me your half baked venture

https://git.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/privytar

Nonetheless want to write down assessments and deploy an official occasion, however the code itself needs to be working already. I will think about it prepared when these duties are performed and I can have a senior Go developer assessment the code.

No actual motive for it to exist apart from “as a result of I wished to.” I suppose I additionally do not belief Automattic all that a lot both.

An interpreter for a DSL that I used once I was at ExactTarget/Salesforce. I wished to study Rust and wanted a project-based method.

It does not actually have a real-world use case since it isn’t built-in with any e-mail platform (e.g., Advertising Cloud). I had a great deal of enjoyable engaged on it although! Oh, and it is nonetheless lacking a rubbish collector.

https://uuidv7.app is a web-based device which generates UUIDv7 compliant ids. I additionally present a easy free api at [1] which returns one thing like this: `{“id”:”018b25e4-78a3-75e2-93cf-4004aef6c2ae”}`. Please be type, there’s at the moment no fee limiting.

No adverts, works completely with out javascript, a device for fellow programmers. The entire venture took me every week, it is made with Deno Contemporary and hosted on Deno Deploy’s paid plan. (if anybody from Deno Deploy desires to assist this device be happy to e-mail me, my e-mail is in my profile)

I will quickly add a characteristic to extract the timestamp from the id as a debugging device.

It is additional alongside than what is out there on-line proper now although there needs to be an replace within the subsequent few days as it’s extremely near MVP.

It permits you to construct tables, lists and pages which replace in real-time and assist complicated views together with filtered by class and/or primarily based on variables with pagination. It is designed to be quick and scalable.

The concept is that it’ll help you construct complicated apps utilizing solely HTML and CSS with zero to little or no JavaScript. I already did a proof of idea as I used the identical elements to construct the service itself and a number of the dynamic pages to handle assets are pure HTML.

With MVP, it is going to work as a versatile CMS for making and updating web sites however the subsequent section is so as to add authentication and entry management and it will permit constructing kinds which acquire knowledge from customers. I feel it is going to require just a few extra weeks to implement that.

I constructed this for private use, however possibly another person additionally finds it helpful.

It is a Firefox add-on that arranges YouTube video tabs primarily based on the runtime of the video. I usually hoard many YouTube tabs and in some unspecified time in the future I need to both watch the shortest ones or play one thing prolonged so I can do family chores whereas listening to the video. This makes discovering the proper video from tens of various tabs a lot simpler. There’s one recognized main bug: if a video is enjoying, the sorting does not work.

There’s an older model revealed for Microsoft Edge, however Edge Add-ons began rejecting the updates primarily based on unclear causes (one thing alongside the traces of “no worth for person” ???). When reaching for assist by way of e-mail, I solely get responses from individuals who do not perceive English and simply copy-paste the very same unclear rejection report and shut the ticket.

Chrome Net Retailer has a publishing payment and outright rejects me paying it, in all probability as a result of I stay in Switzerland and my bank card is from a Finnish financial institution.

I stop my job on the financial institution after a nasty expertise. With no supply of revenue I began to develop this recreation. After 3 days in, I believed to myself “who am I kidding? I will not be capable to promote this and earn money” so I went job searching and located the job I work at the moment (3 years in).

Though it seems prefer it solely have one stage, it does not. I wrote a stage generator for it.

I did spend lots of time engaged on issues that do not matter, as an example display screen orientation. My purpose was to have one recreation that i might promote in any platform, cellular or desktop.

Possibly I will end it sometime.

The construct system is a VS file with god-knows-what hardcoded, does not correctly reference CEF or Godot, and is subsequently locked to Home windows platform solely (although Godot can theoretically run in every single place), and might be stuffed with a bunch of different footguns that I have not even considered. Bought 5 stars on GitHub simply from tag discovery, and the wishful pondering of some Godot-ers that I will ever have time to un-suck it. It is also acquired R-rated feedback, a video demonstration, and a brief written log of the bizarre hurdles I needed to surmount.

It is enjoyable, and works nice for our functions. Nothing can compete with it, in my ebook. Sadly, we’ve not discovered a buyer price pleasing and, since we’re well-pleased ourselves, we’ve not discovered a motive to method full-baked.

Edit: for demonstration functions, “Who’s the best band of all time?” https://druthers.app/#/de7ef4ea-35e6-4d0f-9b10-2945129eba2e

It is a generative artwork platform/market. You write an algo that generates artwork based on some variety of parameters, add it as a Docker picture, and let different folks tinker and generate issues they just like the aesthetics of. Mainly distant code execution as a service, however I spent lots of time on the sandboxing facet of issues and really feel fairly good about it.

The infra is tuned for “saving cash” and never “scale”, so there’s an opportunity it falls over underneath even modest load. If people have an interest I can tweak it a bit to make it extra scale-y.

It is also my HN title, as a result of all the opposite (one phrase) ones I might consider had been taken.

I discover that the majority of what I do, on any given day, is discovering attention-grabbing stuff and sending it to folks to see what they need to say about it. Hackernews is fairly efficient at doing this, so it seems like i’m kind of constructing hackernews however with power-user options for accumulating and sharing stuff.

I think about sooner or later having the ability to group content material after which synthesize it with AI to get a draft of one thing you may have been wanting to write down.

https://Earsmith.com is a “accomplished” (however unpublicized and possibly solely utilized by me) venture I am happy with — it is for coaching your pitch sense.

View, search, and analyze arbitrary supply code (greatest assist of Swift proper now) in 3D and AR area. You open your telephone or pill, yeet tons of of recordsdata into 3D area, and may begin highlighting, shifting, and tracing execution by actually strolling round your code. The desktop app has related options, and the usual 3D viewer is simply as enjoyable. I’d love assist – from anybody of any type – to construct this out in the direction of better usefulness.

It’s lots of enjoyable, it’s tremendous cool to take a look at, and it’s the factor I’ve wished to make use of since I used to be a small baby. “Let me contact the phrases!!”

P.s – the dictionary and phrase wall samples are enjoyable too

P.p.s: there are two variations, and you may obtain the unique SceneKit implementation for each macOS and iOS from the releases part.

It is two of us making an attempt to enhance Rusts XML providing, by implementing an XSLT processor and all that entails. I am engaged on the parser in the mean time, I’ve DTD entity growth working however nonetheless want to determine UTF-16 assist and validation of DTDs. I am in all probability going to concentrate on XML ID assist subsequent.

Any assist, suggestions, solutions can be appreciated!

This project I made a while ago and never took it further: https://github.com/weinberg/concurrencyRunner. Concurreny Runner permits you to debug a number of working processes concurrently, with breakpoints set to permit particular interleaved execution paths to be explored. This lets you set off concurrency situations that are usually very troublesome to investigate as a result of they depend on random timing. That repo has examples which reveal typical database concurrency problems with “learn skew”, “write skew” and “learn modify write”. I envisioned it as one thing you can run in CI to actively take a look at for these items like we do different integration testing.

This different one is within the unhappy graveyard of promising tasks which I by no means might commit sufficient time to: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=69545.0. It is an journey recreation the place I recorded tons of of panoramic photos and stitched all of them collectively right into a seamless walkable participant expertise. Someday…

I not too long ago launched this recipe search engine centered on discovering recipes along with your goal macros.

I’m switching gears to concentrate on an actual startup, however this was a enjoyable little venture that’ll by no means see actual completion. I acquired the fundamentals of a meal planner working (this was a cool drawback to unravel) however there was a large quantity of knowledge labeling work required to take it to the subsequent stage.

Mainly, I feel that LLMs will allow an entire new set of app UXes, and I am making an attempt to construct a platform for these UXes. In a way, a “shell” for LLM apps. It is a command-bar model UI with an SDK that makes it very easy to construct performance on high of LLMs / vector-dbs and so forth and to work together with different software program/recordsdata (e.g. VSCode, Chrome, and so forth.). Presently very restricted docs however when you’re fascinated about constructing LLM workflows/instruments, I might like to collab!

This can be a python-syntax re-imagining of Ansible / Cookiecutter: declarative IT automation and venture templating. It is pretty early, however the coronary heart of it’s there: I can create recordsdata/directories and render templates, working it shows standing, I’ve many of the “magic” carried out that makes it much less like Python and extra like Ansible. The CLI entry-point is minimal, I must principally forklift over the uPlaybook1 argument dealing with code and playbook search/choice.

Would love suggestions from somebody who’s aware of Python and Ansible concerning the route of the YAML -> Python for playbook syntax, however I fear that it is too early to even give that.

Mainly it is uPlaybook (v1) however with the Ansible-inspired YAML playbooks reimagined as Python: https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook

I believed it’d be cool to have a small textual language the place you can describe “this cost goes out each quarter” and “this one goes out month-to-month from date X to Y” and so forth. As a freelancer it may be troublesome to know the way a lot money you may have out there given taxes exit at bizarre occasions, and it’s helpful to simulate “let’s delete this row the place the shopper pays” to emphasize take a look at your funds and so forth.

I additionally wished it to be “privacy-first” as a result of I figured I wouldn’t belief my monetary knowledge to a random particular person on the web, so neither would I anticipate anybody else to.

So I created this website and put it on-line however I’m a developer, not a marketer. I did a “Present HN”, it acquired some good feedback however not a lot traction.

Undecided if I ought to spend effort advertising and marketing it. It’s only a free website so I’m solely doing this for enjoyable. Or possibly the product is incorrect and desires adjustments e.g. extra options.

Troublesome to know what to do. Recommendation appreciated!

https://www.ytemail.com/ – e-mail notifications for YouTube uploads. I used to be within the 0.01% that used and appreciated e-mails, and constructed this after Google killed the e-mails. If you wish to use, please get in contact, I am completely satisfied to onboard free customers if the quantity of notifications you may get is not large.

https://github.com/kassner/whattocook – Recipe chooser, however it works the opposite approach round you’d anticipate. In a family of depressed folks, it’s normal that we will not get to agree on the meal, so this venture decides it for us. You possibly can exclude components in case you do not have them at dwelling, however that is the one approach you may get a unique recipe.

https://www.kassner.com.br/projects/money/ – Private funds venture that solely I take advantage of. By no means had the braveness to open it to the world, and there is not something modern in it to be definitely worth the trouble both. Solely pluses are single-binary net venture and DBs are password-encrypted by default.

Esther is my private venture to develop a diary app that talks again. Mainly. Alongside the way in which I discovered easy methods to htmx, llama.cpp by way of JNA and sensible expertise with LLMs. I undergo from type-1 bipolar dysfunction with psychoses and regular life simply ain’t gonna occur. So unemployed, single, #nolife … I made a decision to construct a chat bot for myself. It isn’t completed the RAG stuff nonetheless wants implementing, however oh nicely. It is written in Clojure on GraalVM (as a result of I wished to strive polyglot) apart from that it is nothing /too/ fancy … however it feels nice having an LLM + UI you’ll be able to simply construct the way in which you prefer it

This is something like Teleport, but open source and easy to host yourself, with clear extension points and a heavy focus on ergonomics.

I have lots of ideas around this, but it’s hard to pour all the time into a side project for me right now 🙁

One has to enter some abstract of what they want to write, and some text they have so far, and the tool generates possible continuations.

It requires quite a bit of editing, maybe 3-4 attempts for each completion if one wants to generate decent text. Feedback was mostly positive from a dozen or so professional writers who tried it out for a day.

I feel that it generates more naturally looking text than ChatGPT with the typical prompts.

See my profile if you want to try it out. You can use the demo without registration.

Just as a warning, not even half of the stuff on the landing page are actually present in Coral but they absolutely will be future. The next thing on the plan is to re-write the UI in React Native so I can take Coral with me on the go.

https://coral.nectarine.sh (the obtain web page is inactive, however you’ll be able to seize a launch from the GitHub web page when you’re so inclined)

https://github.com/eimrine/resume/blob/main/eimrine-s%20rese…

A web site to create digital invites. Related goal as WhatsApp teams for invitations, however taking away the noise and including far more customized design to the invite.

The UI nonetheless has numerous points and I must i18n the touchdown web page, however it works and a few folks use it every single day already. I‘m spending 2€ per day on google adverts to see how my adjustments to product alter person habits.

It’s a facet venture and I‘m not planning to squeeze cash out of it. Simply need the world to have a good time extra and I need to expertise constructing a product from zero to „actively utilized by many individuals“.

Recognize all suggestions and enter!

FXcursion is an STM32-based guitar processor prototype. It has 3 stereo inputs and outputs, builtin effects chain, looper and recording. It lacks proper user interface (we’ve found a designer last week, so it’s in the works now!), and the hardware still needs a lot of changes, but I’ve been impressed with the progress so far.

https://github.com/RATsynthesizers/FXcursion

I am constructing a service that helps founders (identical to you and me) craft their investor updates in actually seconds. We’re at the moment within the testing section of the MVP, so I might actually use some assist.

I might love to offer anybody of you a demo of the device and see if it ACTUALLY alleviates your ache associated to any a part of creating and sending investor emails, and if I am not chasing windmills, haha.

Let me know when you’re up for a chat someday subsequent week. 15min max, promise! https://calendly.com/n10v thanks

I searched on youtube to ee if anyone made a video explaining it, but i’m back at square 1

The half baked bits in the mean time is full scale automated catalyst discovery, and a bunch of the “glue” code that pulls the totally different simulations collectively seamlessly (molecular dynamics, dimer strategies, nudged elastic band, retrosynthesis, automated bulk evaluation) — all of them exist in varied states of improvement (largely performed) however getting all of them to work together completely seamlessly is difficult.

Additionally that is fairly computationally intensive interest, I’m usually restricted by the quantity of computing energy I’ve – regardless that I run a small cluster in my home (384 cpu cores, 4 GPUs, 24TB NAS)

I’m tremendous excited although, simply within the final week I’ve began to make novel, truely distinctive catalyst discoveries (which are matching lab validations), so after a 12 months of experimenting “it is working.gif”
