Last year I built a browser extension to paste as Markdown: it lets you copy text from anywhere (including outside the browser: text editor, anything) and paste inside the browser while keeping rich text.

Re: Ask HN: What are you working on?
#802Not really a product (yet), but I'm researching and trying to create an accessible natural language understanding algorithm without the use of deep neural networks (or at least, not in any significant way). In my opinion, neural networks are used in the wrong way when it comes to natural language processing such that they make the whole understanding process too opaque. Instead, I'm trying to consider the NLU pipelin…
Have you seen Grammatical Framework? It's a rule based natural language parser built in Haskell:

#803My art newsletter is still humming along:
Creating an online course in workflow automation using free and open source tools, instead of expensive SaaS tools.

Working on building a tiny (2-3) customer base for my "product strategy"-as-a-service one man show company.
Next thing on the "roadmap" is content marketing.
Longer term plan is to build some useful B2B micro-products. Might apply to HN, at some point, with the outcome of these experiments.

#805Building audio plugins. It's a lot of fun learning about signal processing, waves, FFT, and so on. Not planning to apply to HN with this, of course, but hoping to build out an indy company.
Interesting! Do you mean VSTs? What framework are you using?
I looked at JUCE but find it intimidating. I'm trying Blue Cat Audio Plug'n Script and it seems quite simple for now. We'll see.
I also make simple MIDI scripts in Reaper but they are limited to just this DAW of course.
Do you have products out there yet?

#806A near real-time peer-to-peer piano keyboard visualizer for remote music lessons. Peer 1 plays their keyboard, and the midi data is sent to Peer 2 where a keyboard animates and sound optionally plays. Project name is Midishare. Got the idea after starting piano lessons about 5 months ago. It’s all over zoom, which works surprisingly well for music lessons on its own, but it’s difficult rigging a camera to show the re…
There's an existing shared piano site that does _similar_ to as you've described, but only utilises a 2D model. It might be give you some ideas or some things to consider to include/leave out of yours: https://www.multiplayerpiano.com/

#807I am currently working on two main projects: - A book on software development https://efficientdeveloper.com that should give people a good overview of things outside of programming itself (so the focus is on topics like the command line, testing, software estimation, processes etc.). - An app https://contentwok.com to help bloggers and other content creators to understand more about their articles, compare with the…
I love the idea of contentwok. Any plans to develop it further? I think it would be amazing for the average medium blogger to generate banners for their text somehow that can be also used as title picture.

#809I am working on a secure cell phone and communication service provider.
The package consists of a SIM card that we purchase and register in our name.
Then we integrate this with a secure phone and explicit usage instructions. This package is provided to the user for a monthly fee (yes, we take crypto currency).
Next on the todo list is becoming a MVNO to further harden our stack.

#810https://cleave.app Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level. Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, w…
Wow this is a really nice idea. Signed up.
