My modern day take on domain parking. I used to have ~50 domains just sitting there doing nothing. Got sick of it. Didn't want to do ugly domain parking pages, but also didn't have time to develop them. I wanted something useful and something that still offered value.
Newsy creates an automated content aggregator (think of Reddit but automated) for your domain based on the keywords you describe. Over the years, a lot of features went in including newsletter, membership etc.
The best option for the users was providing ways to monetize - including bringing your own ads, charging for posts, paid membership etc.

#303My friend from time to time makes some really cool project, then he posts it on HN and gets zero traction. His submission page [1] looks so ridiculous now, that I joke that his next submission would look like “Show HN: I created a true AGI running on my analog wristwatch (3 points, 0 comments)”.

Petals does look interesting. I think his descriptions need work though. You know it got some good traction in this submission? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34215665
Yes, and I still don’t understand why this submission got successful while others didn’t! He tried “Show HN”, it failed. I thought that his title was too unclear, tried submitting myself as an ordinary link, it failed. Then TechCrunch wrote an article, he tried submitting TechCrunch link, it failed. And some weeks later, someone completely unrelated submitted the link, and it blew up!

This is awesome! I'll be using it for sure. Where'd you get your curated list of forums? Big search of running VBulletin instances? :)
that among others! a lot of manual work + some automated scraping (there's about ~3000 forums in the index today)
Saw that best espresso machine example on the homepage was missing https://www.home-barista.com/
That's basically Mecca for us coffee geeks :-) so consider adding it.

Very interesting. This is like snakemake but with go. The audit trail is very interesting, especially for certified version controlled pipelines. Is it being continually developed?
Thanks for kind words! Yes, although conceptually it is even more similar to Nextflow. That is, it is push-based and dataflow-based, whereas Snakemake is pull-based, quite similar to Luigi (well, hey, we also developed the SciLuigi plugin to make Luigi a tad bit more data flow-like, although only on the surface). I'm maintaining and continuing to develop SciPipe, although pretty slowly at the moment, due to a day job…
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to look deeper at scipipe :). It's good to hear you're going to continue developing it.
What advantages does scipipe have over nextflow?

There's a lot of luck involved with HN.
You really need a couple of interested people to see it at the same time and start a conversation.

#308https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever - AI-generated (aside from the artwork) parody of '90s sitcoms, running forever (24/7/365). We worked on this w/ a very small team for the past four years, in-between our day jobs. When started, OpenAI didn't have an API, and Stable Diffusion definitely wasn't a thing, so we had to come up with novel methods to thread cohesive content together. Most of the "creative" details e.g.,…
It would be cool if you could somehow integrate twitch chat into it. Like maybe the characters mention keywords from the chat, or there could be like some screen that displays chat messages somewhere and the characters react.
We actually do scrape Twitch chat—- we have onscreen gauges, meters, etc, that the chat can interact with by saying certain things that will change what happens in the show. I just don’t have it turned on right now because our viewer volume is pretty low. :) Great suggestion though re: characters interacting to viewer chat, that would be a lot of fun.

I want to approach your idea with an open mind, but I’m not sure how to look at this as more than a tool to spam the web with advertisements. Do you have examples of Newsy sites that are particularly valuable to their visitors?

This is really cool. Are the dialogue, etc. generated in advance or is it all being generated live for every scene?
We generate the dialogue per every scene, every 2 minutes or so. We wanted to be able to massage the narrative over time, so the show is constructed in these two minute intervals.
