https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great…

What is blog spam in this context? Content farms?

Blogs that give the impression of honest reviews but are actually low quality content scraped from the product description. The purpose is to make money on the affiliate links when you buy their recommendations.

I created a personal budgeting web app which doesn't store any of your financial information in the cloud. Instead your budget data is stored locally in your browser with IndexedDB and is sync'd peer to peer with your other devices using WebRTC.

The people who use it, love it, but I’m still learning how to tell the story well.

The iOS shortcut instantly turns any recipe page into a consistent, usable cooking experience. I’m open to any feedback/ideas about how to tell that story better!

It flopped on Show HN, but got some minor traction in a comment: https://CubeTrek.com visualize your GPS Tracks in 3D. You upload your skiing, hiking, running GPS files and the web app creates 3D topographic models, calculates your monthly totals, automatically compares similar activities... Give it a try.

This is incredible! I have had an extremely similar idea in my head for the past two years, but I have never gotten around to actually building it. Awesome to see that I am not the only one who has had this idea! (Now I just need something else to think about when I am doing my daily runs…)

Thanks for giving it a spin.

Pivotuner[0]: automatic real-time pure intonation and microtonal modulation This is an audio plugin which I've been working on over the past couple years, I've gotten input from some pretty high-profile artists like Jacob Collier! Finally released it publicly late last year. Pivotuner is a plugin which tunes MIDI data in pure intonation in real time. Besides enabling beautiful purely-tuned chords on keyboards, this a…

I listened to the Bach demo and it’s interesting that I can actually hear the “bends”. I find the sound pleasant after I the sound has stabilized and I forget about the bend, but for those few milliseconds when the bend happens, it sounds like it introduces a very small dissonance.

Not sure if it’s just because I’m so used to hearing Just Intonation all the time, I’m curious if other have the same experience.

Great product anyway! I’ll have to find a way to try it with my Romanian Kaval improvisations since my instrument is already in pure intonation from what I noticed.

My single-instruction (subleq) programming game: https://github.com/jaredkrinke/sic1 I really thought enough people liked esolangs and zachlikes, but it failed to get a single upvote, so never even made it to the “Show” page (well, not until like a week later, at which point it was buried anyway) :(

Looks neat! From my first impression I would ease off on the green box shadow, it somewhat clashes with the retro aesthetic.

True Due Date is great, thank you for making it!

My wife is pregnant and, because the nearest maternity unit is 1hr45mins drive away, we're going to rent a place near it around the due date. This just gave me a confidence boost about what dates to be there. Thank you!
