I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far fr…

Love it! Like Toucan but with LLMs.

Looking forward to being able to save specific words/phrases for future review + audio functionality + pinyin for Chinese please :)

We are building a SaaS enabled marketplace for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where people can find gyms and experiences to find new friends to have fun with!

If you are in Europe and do BJJ you will probably have hear about us (MAAT).

PS: of course we are hiring so feel free to send me an email at stefano_at_joinmaat.com

I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one. I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed. https://goodsign.io

The folks from Agree.com just started up to do the same thing... what do you think of them? Sounds like one of those times when folks think the same thing at the same time?

https://bauble.studio/ is a programmatic 3D art playground that I've been working on for a while now, and I'm pretty excited about it! It's based around signed distance functions, which are a way to represent 3D shapes as, well, functions, and you can do a lot of like weird mathematical distortions and operations that give you cool new shapes. Like average two shapes together, or take the modulo of space to infinitel…

Thank you, I really like the default tutorial how one can play with it. Is it possible to visualize data with this?

Depending on the data, maybe? SDFs aren't great at rendering large numbers of enumerated objects -- something like a point cloud would be prohibitively expensive, so I wouldn't think to use them for like traditional graphing.

Currently working on 2 new versions of my small daily bird guessing game for US and Canada, looking into the local habitats and such to adapt it to the region.

I finished batch processing the bird species and their conservation status and now planning to setup a testing environment to begin the work. I'm already learning so much about the birds of north America. Exciting!

Working on local_jira[0] / jira_gui[1] This is a project I started to scratch an itch I had at work. We use jira there, and our setup is such that it takes about 8-10 seconds to load a page. So to make things more usable, the local_jira downloads the data from the server, saves it in a local database, and make it available. jira_gui is a simple gui for it.

I feel this. I've set something up for myself to fetch the data just to be able to better search and group things without having to wait for their sluggish API and the overweight SPA.

Good luck!

Working on https://shepherd.com/ and trying to help readers find books they will LOVE (not just like).

In a few days, launching user accounts + our first user feature using our new Book DNA review system that is trying to help narrow in on the type of books you love and why. The goal is to serve better recommendations going forward and get more people excited about reading.

It is fun :)
