    The shared demo account (hn@algomommy.com) has been disabled. You can still download and try the software during the beta for free, you just need to create an account.

    Show HN: AlgoMommy – Organize video clips by talking while recording (macOS)

    If you record videos regularly and end up with a messy clips folder, I built a macOS app to help. AlgoMommy organizes raw video files into an existing folder hierarchy based on sho…

    I'm soon to beta my first macOS app: AlgoMommy. AlgoMommy helps you organize your video clips prior to editing them in Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve / etc. It replaces the manual…

    Nice! I'm curious, what on-device text-to-speech engine did you use?

    Cheers! I would have liked to also provide a Google Doc plugin, but the Google Docs APIs [1] don't provide the required capabilities (specifically: a way to create tracked changes)…

    Right, the idea is you can use Sheet Markup to author interactive spreadsheets. Consumers of those interactive spreadsheets can then modify the data / formulas in the spreadsheet t…

    Currently, EqualTo Sheets data is stored in the US on Heroku. We have a signed DPA with Salesforce (owner of Heroku), so as to maintain GDPR compliance. Additionally, we can provid…

    Thanks for the explanation. I think integrating Sheet Markup with that process would be challenging, since (as I understand it) XHTML doesn't support canvas.

    Thanks! Some of the tech is open source ( https://github.com/EqualTo-Software/stackedit-sheet-markup ) and some of it depends on tech in our closed-source EqualTo Sheets product ( …

    Ah, gotcha! The video is referring to a different product (in beta), "EqualTo Sheets". Sheet Markup uses some of our EqualTo Sheets tech, but it's a different product. So, regardin…

    No, the data you enter is not sent to our service. If you inspect the "Network" tab in Chrome and you can verify that there isn't any network I/O after you modify the markdown. Edi…

    Pandoc tables remind me of the reStructuredText tables, which I used back in the day: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#... Very powerful, but I found it …

    Cheers! I've heard of, but never used, the emacs spreadsheet / org mode stuff. I should probably review it for concepts that I could steal / be inspired by ;P

    Yes, that's intentional. Assuming “another | $1000” is on the 7th row, you would need to update the formula to: =SUM(B2:B7) to incorporate it into the sum.

    I see. I'm a big fan of DSLs, but the internal vs. external distinction is not something I've seen articulated before. For now, I'm treating Sheet Markup as an external DSL, which …

    I hadn't reviewed GFM's table extension previously, thanks for sharing. At first sight, I think GFM's table extension and Sheet Markup have different goals. While the table extensi…

    Note that you can represent much more complex spreadsheets using Sheet Markup, and while in the above example it might be clear what SUM(COST) would mean, in a more complex spreads…

    Very nice - I don't think I've come across this project before. I'm curious, what's your vision for react-spreadsheet? I notice it supports some formulas, and a "single sheet" view…

    We don't have a formal grammar yet. We'll put one together and add it to the GitHub repo tomorrow. Informally: each row in the sheet is a new line, and each cell is separated with …

    We've found "sheet markup" (a simplified, textual representation of a spreadsheet) useful in other contexts, such as when interacting with an LLM. I think there might be quite a fe…
