I'm nearing the 0.1 release of Burro, a new typesetting language intended specifically for text-heavy documents. (If you've used the mom macro set for groff, it will seem very familiar to you. I like to describe Burro as a spiritual successor to mom.) The goal is to eventually have all the power of TeX with a much more pleasant syntax (after all, a typesetting language should be easy to type!). The goal of the 0.1 re…

I love how you showed an input and output. I posted a language that I'm working on in this thread, and I'm definitely going to include that on my page.

We've been working on TranscribeMe, a bot that transcribes audios to text: https://www.transcribeme.app/en

You forgot to say "transcribes audio to text IN WHATSAPP AND TELEGRAM!" This is really cool!

Instead of forwarding the messages for transcription, can I add the bot to a group conversation and have it automatically transcribe each posted audio recording? Thanks!

I wanted to make sure you're aware of https://github.com/typst/typst -- Typst is a great clean formatting language that's worthy of taking on TeX! Typst might be powerful enough that Burro's "explicit layout" desire could be implemented as a library in it.

I am! To be honest, I was a little bit sad when typst first came out, because I'd already had Burro in the works for some time before then. However, typst and Burro are very different, so there's room for both to exist!

I'm working on building better product merchandising with AI/ML for online retailers.

The problem: creating unique, engaging product content is expensive and time consuming for retailers. Hiring content writers can cost $50-100 per product. Multiply that by 1000s of products and then add in constant product churn.

With uniquely tuned AI models, combined with a retailers raw product data, I can generate content that improves the buyer's experience and leads to:

- higher conversions

- improved SEO

- standing out from competitors

The app includes:

- the unique LL models

- pipelines to connect to the retailer's catalog

- a feedback mechanism to monitor the products (add to cart, conversions, on page time, etc) and test new content

I did pilot with a large wine retailer. We generated nearly 4,000 product descriptions and saw a near immediate increase in on page time and conversions. It is 90 days out we are now seeing an SEO gain too.

I've created "AlbertBro," an AI math tutor chatbot for kids aged 10 to 16. It helps with math homework by solving problems from photos. Available as a Progressive Web App at https://photo2math.com?hn=1 Mobile users can snap a math problem pic, desktop offers drag-drop, paste & file upload. Crop pics for accuracy, AI converts to LaTeX for analysis. The rest is math GPT with a system prompt

1) can it recognize handwriting? 2) can it identify where a child made a mistake when ‘showing their work’ aka error analysis? A tool that guides a kid to their mistakes would probably be more useful than on that solves a problem on their behalf.

1) Yes. Handwriting is one of the option to input an image, there's an image to latex conversion happening under the hood

2) It should but it doesn't seem to be consistent and it often just solves the exercise step by step. I'll try to tweak the system prompt to enforce a step by step feedback loop style

An app for language learning by reading books in the target language. It takes the book (any epub book) in the target language add inserts translations: —Arthur —dijo con tono cortante, ["Arthur," he said sharply.] y su voz sonó como el chasquido de una ratonera—, [and his voice sounded like the click of a mousetrap.] All of the existing apps that I checked only display translation upon clicking a word (like in Kindl…

This is very cool, looking forward to it! I've been doing the same thing with Spanish Wikipedia articles for a while, using a few lines of Bash + Regex. I was using Apertium for it. https://apertium.org/ It's definitely worse than most ML-based solutions, but it works reliably, deterministic, and fast; you can run it entirely offline. With Spanish translations, the main problem I was facing is lack of vocabulary, so I created https://github.com/phil294/apertium-eng-spa-wiktionary which about doubles the amount of recognized words, albeit with wonky grammar.

Currently working on an (unofficial) VSCode extension for tldr.sh

Shouldn't take much longer but I haven't released it yet. I have been playing around with how I want the commands to be displayed. Simple but useful for me, and I plan to keep it open source.

https://www.inouts.com I build Inouts - a search engine for online tools without BS, with a focus on specific examples of their use. Instead of browsing seo optimized pages, fake "top X tools for ..." rankings or websites full of dark patterns where, for example, only at the end of the process you find out that you have to pay, you can use Inouts. Currently in the database there are more than 5000+ tools and even mor…

This is a great project. I have a couple hundred bookmarks categorized and sorted for this very purpose, especially for css/html tooling.

Are you manually entering all this data? How are you preventing spam/duplicated content?

Also, some feedback: https://www.inouts.com/explore?query=3d+model

I was hoping to see if there were any 3d model assisted ai tools in the db, but the results aren't highly relevant for this search
