A blank screen, or a "loading skeleton"? The app is peer-to-peer, so if none of the recent visitors have hit refresh to become the host the data will no longer be accessible. Terrible UX for you, but forever $0 hosting costs for me.
Sorry. Wat

I love this one! It has occurred to me that while there is a wealth of information online, there is perhaps even more information in print that takes a staggering amount of work to digitize and organize sensibly. It's very interesting to come across someone actively working on a project like this. An idea I had recently that's vaguely related is that it would be really cool to try to put together a massive product in…
I am actually working on that at the same time. I'm using the same wiki engine I'm building for Magazedia to build the bigger site which collates every product ever made. Which is a large task, let me tell you...
Would be glad to hear more about it - your basic approach, some of the biggest challenges, whatever it might be. Shoot me a message if the mood strikes!
EDIT: just created my account recently and did not realize there is no PM functionality on HN, doh.

#694Hey Everyone,
We started Difree (a distraction-free writer, working as a browser's extension) in mid-2021. It's been our side-project. All the time I have this impression, it's half-baked. I believe in it so much, that I haven't changed the version of my app to mature 1.0.0 :-) It's still in 0.9.x :-D
Initially, our goal was to create a fast, reliable, privacy-friendly and no-distraction writing app for us. We were the first users. It needed to satisfy us.
Meanwhile, we started collecting feedback from our users. We wanted to know what worked. People using Difree submitted many interesting ideas for our product. Here are some ideas: 1. monospaced fonts 2. dark theme 3. different font sizes 4. minimalistic view (WIP) 5. word counter (WIP)
We've been still working on Difree and it still gives us fun :-) Tell me what you think! We want to hear and learn more :-)
Happy writing, Olek

The goal is just to simply answer a single writing prompt in Spanish or English everyday (depending on your learning language). I hooked it up to give LLM corrections to responses, show a diff, and provide translations.
Already learned a lot so far as I’m a C++/Python dev at work - so been trying to learn the web side / full stack / get up to speed on some newer stuff.

#698https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-tab-a... I built this for personal use, but maybe someone else also finds it useful. It's a Firefox add-on that arranges YouTube video tabs based on the runtime of the video. I often hoard many YouTube tabs and at some point I want to either watch the shortest ones or play something lengthy so I can do household chores while listening to the video. This makes fin…
After adding all the tabs
pip install xklb
lb tubeadd temp.db $(cb)
You can stream them by lb watch temp.db -u duration
or lb listen temp.db -u duration desc
If you use chromecast you can even do lb watch *above_args -c -t "Kitchen speaker group"Re: Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
#699https://github.com/vortext/esther Esther is my personal project to develop a diary app that talks back. Basically. Along the way I learned how to htmx, llama.cpp via JNA and practical experience with LLMs. I suffer from type-1 bipolar disorder with psychoses and normal life just ain't gonna happen. So unemployed, single, #nolife ... I decided to build a chat bot for myself. It's not finished the RAG stuff still needs…
