#322Building https://www.typequicker.com
Long-term, passion project of mine - I'm hoping to make this the best typing platform. Just launched the MVP last month.
The core idea of the app is focusing on using natural text. I don't think typing random words (like what some other apps do) is the most effective way to improve typing.
We offer many text topics to type (trivia, literature, etc) where you type text snippets. We offer drills (to help you nail down certain key sequences). We also offer:
- Real-time visual hand/keyboard guides (helps you to not look down at keyboard) - Extremely detailed stats on bigrams, trigrams, per-finger performance, etc. - SmartPractice mode using LLMs to create personalized exercises - Topic-based practice (coding, literature, etc.)
I started this out of passion for typing. I went from 40wpm to ~120wpm (wrote about it here if you're interested: https://www.typequicker.com/blog/learn-touch-typing) and it completely changed my perspective and career trajectory. I became a better programmer and writer because I no longer had to think about the keyboard, nor look down at it.
Currently, we're doing a lot of analysis work on character frequencies and using that to constantly improve the SmartPractice feature. Also, exploring various LLM output testing/observability tools to improve the text generation features.
Approaching this project with a freemium model (have paid AI powered features; using AI to generate text that targets user weakpoints) while everything else in the app is completely free. No ads, no trackers, etc. (Hoping to have sufficient paid users so that we can run the site and never have to even think about running ads).
I've received a lot of feedback and am always looking for ways to improve the site.

#323https://github.com/srv1n/kurpod Lets you create encrypted containers disguised as normal files. 1000s of images, pdfs, videos, secrets, keys all stuffed into an innocent look "Vacation_Summer_2024.mp4". I've almost got true steganography working i.e to get the carrier file to actually open in any file system(currently with mp4, pdf, png and jpeg). Things like this have existed in the past, but nothing with a simple U…
Damn how is the docker image only 4Mb. Even with the docker slim images they typically are atleast double digit. Nice!

Airbnb for car chargers. Built an MVP, but unsure/afraid of trying to find users to advertise their chargers online.

#325Lately, I’ve been exploring a few interconnected ideas: Local-first web applications with a compiled backend – After eight years working on web platforms, the conventional stack feels bloated. The client already defines what it wants to fetch or insert. Usually through queries. So why not parse those queries and generate the backend automatically (or at least, the parts that can be)? Triple stores as a core abstracti…
Isnt this kind of a thing already, with the front end being able to write the sql queries

#327Not as exciting or big as some of the projects on here, but just a small personal one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morning update every day. Getting it to print the weather, my calendar and todos, news headlines, HN front page. Basically everything I pick up my phone for in the morning, to be on pap…
Very different from all the magic mirror sort of solutions. Nice!

#328Working on https://vide.dev , the Cursor for Flutter devs. While Cursor stops after writing great code, Vide goes the extra mile and has full runtime integration. Vide will go the extra mile & make sure the UI looks on point, works on all screen configurations and behaves correctly. It does this by being deeply integrated into Flutters tooling, it's able to take screenshot/ place widgets on a Figma-like canvas and ev…
Any reason to not use flutter flow with all the AI stuff?

#329I'm thinking of a news RSS feed/newsletter filled with GRE-level vocabs. The idea is to encounter to GRE vocabs more frequently, hence memorize the vocabs faster.

#330I have a nice garden going right now. TAM Jalapeños have taken the longest to flower, almost thought they wouldn’t. Sweet cherry peppers have been plentiful. Lost my zucchini crop to squash vine borers.
Vine borers got mine too. First time in a long time. I'm in central Texas.
But no hornworms or caterpillars this year. Very strange!
