I'm working on a Chrome extension that adds realtime presence (cursors, chat, gifs, sticky notes) to any website or page. Each website/page (depending on your preferences) becomes an ephemeral channel where you can see and interact with others users browsing the internet. It's still in a WIP shape but very functional. Website: https://webcursors.click/ Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-cursors/…

This is a pretty cool idea to add a social element to everything. I don't think I'm necessarily in the target demo but still this looks really cool

Thanks, this is definitely one of the most enjoyable side project I've done so far. It's rapidly satisfying, I can easily add new features, and I find it fun to see and interact even with a few users on random websites. I've been sharing it a little around me and so far I've had some nice feedback, so I'm pushing it!

I'm working on "is". https://github.com/oalders/is

It allows me to install various things in various environments without getting too deep in to bash scripting.

For example:

$ is cli version tmux gt 3.2 && echo || echo

$ is there go && is there nvim && nvim +:GoUpdateBinaries +qa

$ is known cli version bash 5.2.15

I've also been working on a service to track TLS cert expirations, domain name expirations, server pings and successful HTTP HEAD requests. https://www.prettygoodping.com/

I built mirrored fables, an AI powered visual novel generator. Give it a try! https://www.mirroredfables.com/?proxyKey=hellohackernews source: https://github.com/mirroredfables/mirroredfables

I love this, but looks like it's less VN and more of just a novel. I think the problem is it generates content, but not very high quality content. It's not gripping enough from the beginning, just sort of drags out. It could be that the engine works right, just that the input is garbage, as often happens with AI. But maybe something about it could be engineered a little better. From the code it looks like it's just g…

Haha thank you for the encouragement!

You have got a nice generator there! I am very curious what's powering it, as it seems to be instant. I dropped you an email, let's chat!

Re: structure and cohesion- this is where GPT4 vastly outperforms GPT3. For example, it is much better at using a hero's journey and managing plot twists. You can go into the AI settings window and set the model to use GPT4 instead [I'll leave how to get there as an exercise ;)], and give it a try.

Currently the generator works in a very similar way to how you described it: 1. It takes your input and generate a world setting and the characters in it, including relationships 2. Based on the information from above, it generates a overall plot outline, broken down into chapters 3. Based on the information from above, it then fills out the chapters with dialog

Currently the biggest limitation is context length and cost, and I haven't focused on optimizing that yet.

You are absolutely right that a human editor would vastly improve the quality. You can see a lightly guided early pre-generated example here [https://www.mirroredfables.com/?gameUuid=302fe7bf-4ff0-4a77-...]

An AI story editor is a very interesting idea that I haven't thought of before, and it makes a lot of sense. I am going to play around with it!

I'm writing a open-source library (https://github.com/RaphaelJ/libhum/) and a webapp (https://datethis.app:8080/) that detects the Utility Grid noise emitted by electrical devices (A/C, motors, appliances ...) from Video/Audio recording.

It then tries to date the recording by matching it to historical data.

The signal processing part is getting decent. I'm still trying to collect more reference signals in RU, UK, China and Japan.

Tom Scott made a video about the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0elNU0iOMY

https://pastmaps.com Been working on this as a new way to find, explore, and view old historical maps and aerials of my area. Still heavily in development but have been surprised by some early traffic stats (1-2K organic uniques / mo and growing 200%+ m/m right now) Hoping to add in more advanced map tooling within the next week or 2, including new basemap options, 3d terrain view, and then a proper search box which…

I found a map of the area around my family’s farm in 1894 super quick. Awesome site!

I've been working on TurboScribe ( https://turboscribe.ai/ ) for a few weeks and preparing to "officially" launch soon. I think high-quality AI transcription should be a lot cheaper. It's pretty simple: Unlimited transcription (powered by Whisper) for $10/month. Upload your audio/video files, get your transcripts (and export to many common formats). There's a free tier of 4 transcripts (i.e. up to 2 hours) per day if…

Am working on a 360 degree video player/image viewer mostly pointed at businesses who’d like to integrate the technology without branding or hosting from other providers. https://staging.sightsurround.com/

Looks pretty cool! As a heads up, as a user the view movement is reversed from what I was expecting. I was expecting for the image to follow my cursor: when I drag to the left, it pans to the right (vertical also should be flipped). The current scheme works decently for following objects that are passing the camera but when it's frozen it feels completely backwards.

I'm building a few things, the two I'd love feedback on are:

- https://mousetrack.co.uk - a Disney World price tracker that tracks how the hotel/ticket prices are changing over time and which also gives some great tips on how to save money on holidays

- https://chirper.picheta.me - A Chrome browser extension which puts the Mastodon timeline into twitter.com

I’ve been working on a tool called Phases! (bit.ly/phases-demo). It’s basically a way to expose localhost to the web with a neat UI that let’s others edit your underlying webpage via AI (currently works with React).

Currently working on building a simpler version first that lets you expose multiple ports (like for your frontend and backend), generates a public URL, and connects the ports by rewriting requests in the browser to the public URLs.

Basically ngrok + more powerful deploy previews. Curious what y’all think!
