Working on https://flakiness.io: GitHub-native test analytics. I worked on Playwright before, and this project started as a natural continuation of that work. We’ve since expanded beyond Playwright to support many popular test runners.

The idea is to connect test results and artifacts with commit history. Test reports should know whether a failure is new, whether a test has been flaky before, and which commit made a test start running 5x slower.

If you maintain an open-source GitHub project with tests, please give it a try. The free plan is a good fit for OSS projects: 1GB of storage is enough for roughly 10M+ test results.

SogaPaper - https://sogapaper.ai/

People are consuming more and more text content than ever before to get more information, under the pressure of AI development. For me, I need to read papers, go through information related to my industry and company, sometimes my boss asks me to conduct a research on some newly launched products or techniques revealed by passages.

It's really a heavy load to consume all these information fast and deep, so I built SogaPaper: https://sogapaper.ai It can translate, summarize, q&a not only at the whole document level, but support paragraph-level quick glances and q&a, preserving the important inner logic and structure of the whole passage, very suitable for knowledge workers and college students nowadays.

It's free to start, and I'm looking forward to hearing from your advices.

Their customers use different words entirely.Free and early access - meldgtm.space

Would like to hear your thoughts and feedback than anything.

I'll continue to work on https://github.com/asciimoo/hister as much as I can. I plan to add new extractors and optimize the indexer storage usage by moving out HTML/favicon content from the index and storing them in an efficient compressed way.

Hister is a free general purpose web search engine providing automatic full-text indexing for visited websites.

A few months ago I got so fed up of squinting at glowing rectangles to stay informed/updated. I feel like there's a finite amount of podcasts I can reasonably follow/digest so I built a very basic prototype to summarise RSS feeds/transform the content and transcribe it in to a personalised podcast.

I put a bit more work in since May have it running almost end to end, still with plenty of gotchas. It's transcribing on an RTX3070 under my desk so pretty limited, but have enjoyed a few morning briefings just as I want them (weather, chance of rain today, BBC/NPR top stories from yesterday, some specific sports news then HN most popular summarised with summary of comments. Got a chuckle out of the LLM summarisation of HN commen threads which was always "Comments reaction: mixed" (which it no longer embeds!)

Found traces of it being done before and I understand you can do similar in Notebook LM, but I was hoping to build something set-and-forget.

WhatsYum - https://whatsyum.com

Ratings per dish instead of just the restaurant as a whole. 4 years in and working on a b2b intelligence offering for restaurants. b2c side has been too hard to get off the ground without solid investment and I've been unable to secure that.

Thoughts welcome :)
