Very cool. I developed something in a similar vein as a way to teach myself web programming 15 years ago or so. Https://dirtywalls.com is location-based message boards. You can cre…

Curious if you got a response as I'd love a parameterized version of this design. I have the original Overwork+Scott version on my bedside, but I'd much prefer a storage space than…

A relatively small ongoing investment in a phone with which they earned billions of dollars in profit. Doesn't necessarily require new feature updates, but security updates should …

Not a SDE, but I’m actually doing more of that than ever before. 2 years ago, was given the choice to interview for new internal roles or walk away with a severance package after a…

Oo! An opp to share a project I built! Please check out ottomusic.ai or the original demo I built at demo.ottmomusic.ai. We were one of the first AI-powered, prompt-based music rec…

How odd. My 3rd click, it brought me to news.ycombinator.com - exactly what brought me there in the first place and open in another tab. I was very confused as I assumed the tab ha…

One day mid-1995 (just looked it up and it would have been May 20, 1995) Sonic Youth was playing with REM at the Gorge in Washington. He and the drummer had a side project that cam…

Any eye toward allowing users to train their own voices? The only reason I’m using Elevenlabs is because I can train a suite of voices on my (legit, legal) archival content. It’s n…

Recently my son and I were at the mall and decided to grab dinner at a popular ramen spot. They had replaced the hostess with an iPad and a waitlist app. Ugh, I thought, but fine. …

And I just realized you acknowledged it at the bottom of the page! ;)

I was fortunate to help bring similar tech to life as a PM for Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro in a feature dubbed Remix. Since we were designing to help music fit the duration of …

I relied upon ChatGPT to build this as my development experience is pretty light. What I found was it's not perfect, but because I know enough Python to troubleshoot, I was able to…

Hi, HN! Excited to share a project I've built over the last few weeks that uses natural language queries to generate incredible music playlists at https://muze.one/ . The more deta…

If you haven’t made your own butter at home, you’re missing out. It literally takes 10 minutes and the blender does most of that work. Pour a cup or two of heavy cream in the blend…

I worked at one of the bigger companies (not a FAANG, but right near there) for almost 19 years before leaving last year. When I joined, it was as amazing a company and culture as …

I was 16 or 17 and had a guest account on the local universities Ultrix server. I discovered that all of /dev/tty* was world-readable UNTIL someone had successfully signed in. So a…

If you used and miss Spotify Run, Muze is a lot like that only WAY better. Not only is the music by real artists that you know and love, as well as new discoveries, but the respons…

After years of upvoting others, I’m really excited to be able to share my first Show HN! Muze is our free app and service that learns from some of your favorite workout songs and a…

I couldn't stand the Cal Worthington commercials, but I'll remember them fondly because a sweet, elderly neighbor with dementia misunderstood the repeated phrase at the end of the …

Lots of possibilities, for sure. I liked the idea of a public layer as well as private or protected layers for every space. Patrons of a restaurant could chat on the public board f…

About 10 years ago, I taught myself web programming by writing https://dirtywalls.com which is still up and which occasionally I still see used by a handful of the folks I shared i…
