I'm building https://rispose.com which is a tool to embed chatgpt on any site. It's super cheap and it's growing nicely.

Rispose is the first tool I build which isn't tightly coupled on another provider.

I can easily swap OpenAI for another provider or even host my AI. This IMO is something really interesting and something before was relay hard to achieve (most tools are built on top of bigger platforms).

The second version of https://www.physician.fyi/ , a database of doctors and other medical practitioners with their disciplinary actions for patients to check. In this version, I’m expanding it to include all 6.5 million practitioners in the US, and integrating more data like how much doctors have been paid by drug/device companies. I’m planning on adding patient reviews/complaints too. It’s the biggest and dirtiest…

I noticed your physician-view is just raw JSON. I had time on my hands and this sounded cool so I whipped up a quick desktop dashboard [1] based on the JSON I saw. Feel free to use / adapt / reach out about it. Either way a great resource! 1 - https://ibb.co/v6WZ7MFr

Thanks a lot :) That’s really helpful. I’m working on adding a map view for now, but will save this for when I get there.

https://www.moviemixup.com A wordle-like game based on a road trip game my friends and I used to play. It serves you up a mashup of two different movie plots, and you have to guess the combined movie title. There's always some sort of shared word or wordplay between the two movie titles. An example from the tutorial: the day after tomorrow never dies.

Nice idea! Not sure I'm missing something obvious, but it really needs an archive, or "play random" button.

Working on a mathematical model to quantify what is theoretically possible for humans to bridge all fragmented theories across psychology, mental health, productivity, economics, and more (similar to what Shannon did for Information theory). It stems from my struggle to keep up with the feeling of overwhelm with so many things to learn. Currently working on organizing all of my thoughts into a coherent theory. You ca…

What exactly is the mathematical model? What are the mathematics involved? I couldn't find it on your blog.

Yet to reach that math stage, work in progress. I am studying game theory and economics to get inspirations.

In the blog and X I am sharing ideas as I encounter them. For example last week had new thoughts on representing emotions and wrote 2 articles.

I'm working on an app for easily conducting and organizing evals for LLM-powered applications. The core idea is making it easy for domain experts to review examples of interactions and tests with synthetic data, as well as tracking an application's evaluated performance over time as changes get made.

Building ( https://estan.ai ), an AI that reverse-engineers real estate listings by pulling not just from public records, but also social media, neighborhood forums, historical sales, and user reviews. It flags red flags—like crime trends, sketchy development patterns, neighborhood trends, and so on—then presents them in plain, opinionated language. Goal: replace the vague boilerplate of listings with something close…

Think this is a great idea, I would have paid for this when we were buying our house. Especially for one feature: let me give you a list of properties (perhaps forwarded from my agent, or e.g. a Zillow search) and get back the "enriched" listings with your added insights. It'd be great if I could then weight different factors (local schools, walkability, etc.) to stack rank them. With a once-in-a-century shakeup in c…

> With a once-in-a-century shakeup in commission structure for Realtors, you're building this at a very interesting time.

Could you please elaborate on this?

I'm working on a universal tool to generate and print custom dust jackets for books, with the goal of making prettier bookshelves. https://www.jacket-lab.com/

cool idea, looking forward to seeing that on Show HN :)

Thanks! I'm waiting until it's a bit more mature before sharing it there.

https://periplus.app A website for open-ended learning with LLMs. Something like a personalized, generative Wikipedia. Has generated courses, documents, quizzes and flashcards. Each document links to more documents, which are all stored in a graph you grow over time. Currently using the graph for topic suggestions, though I've also been playing around with steering document generation with it as well.

This is an amazing project. I like it.

An app to screen properties based on your own esoteric criteria. Things like, "I want to have a balcony facing south, looking at a park." Then you can send a list of suitable properties to a real estate agent to scout, or set a notification in case any of them come into the market

https://tritium.legal Tritium is an IDE for corporate lawyers. Draft Word docs, review PDFs, redline all in a single application. It's written in Rust using a modified version of egui. Immediate mode has some interesting tradeoffs that I'd love to discuss on here. Also the web/desktop dichotomy presents a lot of interesting opportunities and challenges where data governance is concerned. I'd love your thoughts or to…

I'd recommend a better landing page for mobile when you have time :). The gif is very tiny on a smartphone and takes time to get to the point.
