I'm working on deeplearninghq.com a HN clone focused on Deep Learning with the goal to be a (community driven) resource that helps people to be up to date with the latest news, research, papers and discussions on DL. ETA ~2 weeks

#512I'm building a wholesale order sheet that is shareable with a link. https://www.deliteapp.com Businesses are purchasing millions of dollars of product through paper order sheets or PDFs passed through email. Delite takes out the hassle for the buyer - they can fill out quantities and submit the order right on the form rather than download, scan, fax, send back, etc. The vendor can share these orders through text, ema…
It would be cool if you added data feeds, for product and inventory to it, and made "giving out" those feeds easy. And then had a system for "consuming" the feeds that was "easy".
As a small eCommerce site, i'd LOVE to have feeds from all my suppliers, but unless you're selling millions a year for them few suppliers bother with the effort. Most suppliers create feeds by having an FTP server, and they periodically throw a csv file on it.
Then as a consumer of the feed, since so many of these solutions are "home grown" you learn to not trust the data. So you have to build up really sophisticated systems. For example if a supplier tells me in a feed he had 10 widgets, and I got that feed 2 hours ago. My algorithm might tell me he only has a reliable supply of 2.
I've thought about building something like this, but I didn't want to get into the business of selling software to suppliers (they're notorious cheap skates).

#513Grep for the internet.
What I often want is not a search engine, not a recommender, but a filter. Something that would allow me to look at the distributions of content on the Web rather than trying to answer my questions. I badly wanted to pay someone a few quid for a service like this, but had to build it myself.
Feel free to piggyback on the next batch job; use fBd7guQLDLx6RIm00GE7uH5h0Lk1CKKl as access key.

#514I have a project idea that might be useful for someone to learn about audio processing (and maybe neural networks?). I like to listen to audio and watch video of podcasts (and lectures and other human speech) at faster speeds. Sometime, especially if I'm trying to "skim" to see if the media is worth listening to carefully, I'd like to listen at 3x or faster. Very often, the limiting factor is the intelligibility of t…
This is doable. If one were, uh, hypothetically, to write a library that did this, how would the HN community recommend monetizing it? I have no experience selling my wares to anyone but a large company, let alone an app store or something like that. Would the tool primarily be applied to nice clean audio, like books on tape, or also required to work with significant background noise?

#515Project: Hosted & On-Prem fast full-text search with faceting, filtering, multiple ranking algorithms and plenty of other features. Not yet ready for launch but built a simple demo trying to get into startupschool ( failed unfortunately :( ), which lets you search every hackernews post while letting you filter based on domain / user / story type. http://searchhn.com
really cool! is there a way to search by domain?

#516I'm working on the NHS.UK Transformation project:

"We are designing a service that better connects people to the health information and services they need, when they need them. Our tools will help people care for themselves and relieve pressure on frontline services."

#517Problem: My experience taking audio tours at various museums showed the use of antiquated and expensive hardware. Most alternate solutions used mobile apps which are inconvenient to download and take more time to release. Project: I went about developing a web app that allows anyone to quickly create an audio tour for free: https://www.youraudiotour.com/create I also integrated Amazon Polly to automatically generate…
Nice! Check out https://www.detour.com/, similar platform primarily focused on city-level audio walking tours.

#519As a hardware side project I've been designing and building an open source split-flap display - the kind of electro-mechanical displays you used to see in train stations and airports that loudly flip through letters and numbers as they update. https://scottbez1.github.io/splitflap/ Have a few working prototypes ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bslkflVv-Hw ), but I'm currently redesigning the electronics/PCB to make…
Building one is out of my league, but I would buy one for my desk.

Thank you.. Yeah the current UI sucks Im sorry :(.. just search for a post that you know is in your domain and choose the domain checkbox on the right. You can then change the search text or any other filters after that.
Will probably fix the UI this weekend and do a proper 'Show HN' with more options, charts and analytics.
