A compound word splitter in JS that splits up words of different (esp. Germanic) languages down to simplexes reliably based on a dictionary, including Segmenter API and SQLite FTS connector. Works very reliably by internally using statistics for known compound words, too, and a stemmer.
I'm just finishing up a book called Rebooting a Nation on how the country of Estonia modernized so quickly after independence from the Soviet Union and became a leader in tech and e-government. It should start shipping on Amazon in the U.S. later this week! Happy to chat with folks who have questions about the publishing industry from an authors perspective (I ended up signing with Hurst in the UK which distributes t…
Very cool. Fun username too. I know Estonia has been an amazing leader in this space. Any thoughts on how their gov digitization compares/contrasts with Ukraines DIIA efforts?
Long ago, I came across Metamine here on HN, and thought it was magic... but there's a LOT of stuff in that code I don't understand.... maybe I'll do a Turbo Pascal version later? I do have code to do cooperative tasking under MS-DOS from the 1980s I wrote. ;-)
Converting my home server from Docker + Docker Compose to Podman + systemd. (The server runs self-hosting for my movies, TV, ebooks, comics and photos, networked to my other devices via Tailscale). The DevEx isn't quite as easy, but I'm very happy with the final result. I don't have to run the overhead of a Docker Engine anymore, the network policy is far simpler to write and audit, and I can use the same logging too…
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.
An open-source, self-hostable app for sending out newsletter to your friends and families. I'm mostly making it for myself because I want to share what I've been up to and family photos, without uploading it to Facebook or whatnot. At the moment, the flow goes like this: 1. During the week, write posts for things that have happened. 2. Posts can be assigned to groups. (family, friends etc). 3. At the end of the week…
Is anyone still interested in cross platform development for desktop apps (Windows & macOS)? Yes, it's similar to Electron, but mine uses native UI components and there are no prerequisites to get started.
I don't want to violate any rules about self promotion, so if anyone is interested in checking it out, let me know and I can give you the link.
A platform for consulting aspirants to practice business case interviews.
Finding case prep partners is a major pain point for B-school students/consulting aspirants. Fortunately, frontier AI models are now good enough to function as surprisingly competent case interviewers.
Ive almost finished the first version of a desktop video library app I've been writing for myself. I had the idea last year, but the cost of sending images to an LLM made it too expensive (to run over about 1500 videos), but now it's fairly reasonable. In the app you pick a folder with videos in it and it stores the path, metadata, extracts frames as images, uses a local whisper model to transcribe the audio into sub…
This isn't entirely on-topic but I've been trying to understand why AI video editing isn't more common, and thought you might know. I've had an idea for a while to make tennis match highlight videos that show every single point of the match. Tennis has a lot of downtime between points (and even more between games and sets). I just want to tell an LLM: here's a two-hour long video of a tennis match. Strip out all the…
