#843I've been making a lot of audio experiments for my own amusement. They all have some potential to drain your cpu, sorry! https://www.noisetable.xyz/ - a collection of chance-based audio 'channels' in a VCR inspired interface https://concrete95.net/ - a musique concrète web app that's made to look like windows 95. Pulls random audio from freesound.org and loops a small section, you can also layer synth pads or melodic…
noisetable is great, though would be great to have a warning that it uses flickering before starting the game. Or maybe add a check if visitor has motion reduced (prefers-reduced-motion css block?)

#844Made "stop localhost" publishing for vibe coders called Revdoku. It is useful when need to quickly publish a prototype, report, set of documents and can be done right from Claude or Codex.
If you use ChatGPT then can say it is more like ChatGPT Sites but also works in Claude.

#845A SQLite based sweeper of all the scans, notes, PDFs and images I have on my filesystem, that stores their paths and allows searching their OCR’ed descriptions and text, as provided by Mistral OCR. I can ask things like “when does my car need maintenance” or “find me that picture my kid drew for Mother’s Day”. I use pi-based bash executable to launch a doc chat like that. https://github.com/maxim/ringbinder
how Mistral OCR works for you? Is it really better than Tesseract?

IME way better. It may not be the best out there, but it's cheap (2c per page), fast, easy to integrate API, and sufficient for my needs. It does things like describe what's drawn in pictures and shown in graphs, which all helps when searching.

#847I built an offline background remover website that now includes passport photo editor, object remover, image compressor. everything is free and offline (inferred from WebGPU) and I used to have to browse to different website to do all of these. now i can just do it offline on my own site. https://bgremovefree.com/
Really cool

#849I've been using AI to build and set up two websites so far one in the travel space and the other in the real estate space. I have literally not touched code or written one line of code and brought up this to websites. Triporacle.app and landradar.land
