On the contrary, I think it's even better to use real data instead of fake data. Using fake data looks tacky and unprofessional.

So you'd prefer to look a screenshot where half of the content is blurred out?

Yes, absolutely moreso than a demo that is faked.

Sharing is planned. Long term roadmap but definitely on my list!

I was looking for a "sharing idea" comment, so it's great to see something is planned. Being able to share a time-based, geo-based, or X-based slice (all or some of) with someone would be a great way to learn about "close encounters" before or after we met, or even someone else's perspective of a shared trip or experience. Just a general comment; you've made something truly wonderful (IMHO), and I look forward to see…

Thank you!

This is great. I want this but for much more. I want it to also be a nextcloud and zotero replacement, storing all my documents and books and documenting when I added, opened, edited them. I want it to store all notes that I write. I want it to record and display all browser tabs I open, when I do so, everything I copy and paste, every key I press. I want a record of everything I do in the digital world that is searc…

Oh yeah, mholt is notable for having created Caddy (the webserver). My interest in Timelineize just went up.

Ha! I was about to commend the author for the "install" being a single .exe on Windows. This makes perfect sense now.

I already use it. It's quite good but more for time tracking!

"I'm not interested in creating surveillance software or technology." That is exactly what you would be doing though

To surveil... myself? It's interesting to read such a comment here. I see comments from people on this site frequently who work for Google, Facebook, OpenAI and other such companies where everyday software that doesn't respect users or their privacy is being worked on. However, if I suggest doing similar data collection and analysis that they already do but in a way that is self hostable/governable and respects my pr…

Na you are right its not bad as a personal tool (I didnt say it was bad) but yea you spying on yourself mate :D

That's just the joy of Go. But, I do wish I could have made this one a perfectly static application. I don't know if it is possible.

> Recommended: GPU (NVIDIA 20-series or newer; 40-series for faster thumbnails) or Apple Silicon (M2 or newer) Very nice project, it is something what we all need right now in these days. Just noticed that you recommend Apple Silicon M2 or newer? Is there really a significant difference between M1 and M2? Is it running some LLM model in the background?

I dunno. M1 might be fine, I just haven't tested it with an M1. If you enable semantic features, it does use a large model (not necessarily an LLM) for embeddings; but regardless it will generate thumbnails for images and videos, and transcode videos for playback, so a good GPU is helpful.

Em dash, "not just blank, it's blank". ChatGPT slop garbage. Calling on all ycombinator moderators to please nuke this post with a powerful ion cannon. Thank you.

IMO, em dash isn’t a great signal — plenty of people used them already. I can type em-dash easily on my phone with double dashes. the giveaway for me is the too-perfect summary list of things it loves the most

It's also easy to spot ChatGPT's distinct writing style. Take a look at the other comments from the HN account Lumoscore:

> ... It doesnt fully solves the trust issue — it just shifts it.

It doesn't [context-based goal word] - it [adjacent, slightly similar context-based goal word] it. That's an overused AI pattern.

All of the Lumoscore comments seem to have been written by AI.

edit: And all submissions appear to link to a vague crypto service named like the user which is filled with slop content as well.

I have been recording my gps every few mins for the past 10years for this exact product. Looks interesting.

Out of curiosity, how have you been doing this?

started with overland (was great, but hurt the battery a lot) - there was an iOS app for it. I then just moved on to PSObserver as it was self contained, I could export off my phone. I also augmented with running google maps background for a few years as well. Think I have over 5m data points now. I user Kepler.gl originally + with iPhone photos as well overlayed.
