Show HN: Fully offline, open-source alternative to Scribe for Firefox https://bit.ly/3v9BK3k

Show HN: Fully offline, open-source alternative to Scribe for Firefox I had to do a bit of web-workflow documentation and found the process of gathering screenshots, placing them correctly into a document, and creating captions extremely tiring. I figured it’ll be easy to automate and also a great opportunity to get to know the Browser API, and here we are with the first release of the extension. It’s extremely easy to use but barebones which I plan to change in the near future, so any feedback will be appreciated. I want to keep the docs generation process completely offline to avoid dealing with server costs and GDPR stuff which poses a lot of challenges when planning more advanced features like image editing. It’s available only for Firefox because of Firefox’s great Browser API support, which Chromium currently lacks. Also, there’s a tool like this already available, called Scribe but it requires an account and also is not available for Firefox for some reason. Hope you’ll like it! https://mzl.la/3I0VGgy December 22, 2022 at 08:20PM

Show HN: Create a Children's book with AI – with illustrations https://bit.ly/3PMq0xf

Show HN: Create a Children's book with AI – with illustrations Hey together with wife we took part in AssemblyAI hackathon and although we didn't win we felt good enough about our inital MVP that we took it a bit further. You can describe your characters and give a title and however long/detailed description you want, the gpt-3 will generate a children's story from it, dall-e will generate images. Images are postprocessed with stable-diffusion custom model (for stylisation) and that's the final result. It's still early as it was done in about 2 weeks, but I count on your feedback. I am software engineer and did basically all of the engineering work myself. Feel free to ask question regarding implementation plans, etc. cannot wait to learn what you think. I'll appriciate any feedback. https://bit.ly/3Whzenz December 22, 2022 at 07:38PM

Show HN: Decentralized Database https://bit.ly/3BUxsRg

Show HN: Decentralized Database DB3 is a community-driven layer2 decentralized database network. Infinite Storage Space Scalability is the key to the web3 explosion, db3 will use the following strategies to achieve web3 scale PC can meet the minimum system requirements so everyone can join the db3 network to provide storage space. Using dynamic sharding to achieve scale out. when a storage shard chain has not enough space to store mutation, it will split itself into two subchains. Using cold data archive to recycle storage space. history cold blocks and cold state data will be archived to FileCoin and the storage node will always has storage space to store new data. Blazed Fast and Provable On-chain Query Currently, decentralization means bad performance but db3 is trying to make a big improvement in performance Merkdb is the storage engine of db3 network and it not only has high performance but also the fast-proof generation Geo distribution, the nodes in every storage shard are geo-distributed and the clients can execute querys against the nearest storage node Query session, the first decentralized query protocol to resolve performance and incentive perfectly Crypto Native Data Ownership In the decentralized network, only the private key owners can update their data and they can keep privacy by encrypting their data with the public key On-chain Programmable Dapp developers can develop data processing contracts and deploy them to the db3 network just like developing data backend in web2 Ethereum Guarded Security DB3 network is a layer2 network on Ethereum and all the assets are guarded by Ethereum https://bit.ly/3BRBOso December 22, 2022 at 02:34PM

Show HN: OpenAEDMap – Automated External Defibrillators from OpenStreetMap https://bit.ly/3FOWeTU

Show HN: OpenAEDMap – Automated External Defibrillators from OpenStreetMap Hi everyone, OpenAEDMap ( https://bit.ly/3PGOqsd ) allows you to find (and add!) AEDs in your area. These devices have proven themselves as life-savers in heart failure - when every second matters. The data is synced to OpenStreetMap database, so it's openly licensed (ODbL) and can also be used in other OSM-based apps. AFAIK, there is no other comparable map - they are either proprietary or show a single country.

Show HN: Schtate – Functional Data Containers with a Familiar API https://bit.ly/3WexnQI

Show HN: Schtate – Functional Data Containers with a Familiar API Looking for feedback on my library. I work mainly with React at work, as data is passed down as props, we end up performing a lot of transformations and checks on it. Most React developers leverage arrays heavily because the intuitive immutable, chainable API that JS arrays offer works really well with React's functional model. The purpose of this library is to make other types of data just as easy to work with by mirroring the Array API whenever possible, keeping immutability and chaining as first class features. It is not just for React developers, but anybody who has to manipulate data and hates having to write `if` statements. The library has zero runtime dependencies and 100% test coverage. https://bit.ly/3WCIFy2 December 21, 2022 at 04:45PM

Show HN: A vichan variant that ChatGPT helped me host https://bit.ly/3FK3UqL

Show HN: A vichan variant that ChatGPT helped me host I recently set up a website hosting vichan [0] with nginx, and named it "h2ochan", inspired by the chaotic (yet moderated!) nature of imageboards like 4chan and 2chan. Plus, I love having a liter of water within arm's reach at all times. In the future, I have some plans for threading and posts that will further emphasize the "water" theme and encourage community engagement. In the past, I had tried setting up vichan a few times, but I was overwhelmed by the many technical tasks involved, such as using a remote terminal, working with MySQL databases, configuring nginx, setting file permissions and owners, and using Emacs (or trying to avoid clunky local file edits and FTP). However, I recently discovered chatGPT and have found it very helpful in assisting me with various technical issues. I began by asking for help setting up a public PHP forum, saying that I was a gamedev with some experience in Unity and C#, but not familiar with web development. chatGPT recommended that I look into ASP.NET [1] (which is similar to C#) and gave me some specific recommendations for webhosts and domain registrars. Based on these recommendations, I was able to get a Shared Windows Host [1] up and running, with my nginx [3] page visible after visiting the proper IP address. During the vichan installation process, there is a config-help screen that shows red and yellow lights, to show stuff like if vichan is missing permissions, the SQL database is misconfigured, etc. Initially, this screen showed about three errors and five warnings, mostly related to vichan's inability to read or write certain files. ChatGPT was very helpful in troubleshooting these issues, whether I copy-pasted error messages or described the problems in my own words. It helped me with tasks such as using `chmod`, `chroot`, and `grep`, as well as with fixing HTTP status codes such as 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found, and 500 Internal Server Error [2]. ChatGPT also helped me locate log files and fix other issues, and eventually all of the warnings were resolved. Emacs was also very helpful during the setup, with chatGPT assisting with emacs commands (I have a double-sided Sheet of them somewhere...) Although I am still learning basic hotkeys, I am able to Save, Undo, and Quit with confidence, and I have almost memorized the Page Up/Down keys. I was initially drawn to Emacs because I saw a page about hotkeys for capitalizing, lowercasing, and uppercasing words years ago, but never sticking with it. Now using it more, my thoughts still being "My smartphone can't even Delete (forward) or Undo! Modifying whole WORDS like this is incredible!" Please go look at h2ochan, and Drink Water! [0] https://bit.ly/3PUKbcJ [1] I did have to switch from a Shared/managed ASP.NET to a Dedicated Linux Host, since remote SSH was not supported for Windows, only Linux [2] I forgot two of these error codes, so I asked chatGPT to remind me of ones I might have encountered during setup. chatGPT also revised my initial post (making sure chatGPT got a [] citation, no matter how confusing!) which I revised once more before posting. [3] Windows + nginx, huh? I may be mis-remembering this bit, but there was certainly a point of realizing "I need Admin access so I can edit Permissions..." or something, and that Windows without SSH was wholly insufficient for vichan [-] chatGPT was occasionally a bit outdated, which led to missing packages, non-existent paths, and imperfect configurations. However, it seemed happy to accept corrections, such as when I wanted to show line numbers in PHP files in Emacs, but my init.el file already had a setting to show line numbers for all programming languages, and I didn't have php-mode installed. Instead, I needed to use phps-mode. [-] The website favicon is a Koreisha mark, hue-shifted to the Blues. It's used in Japan to signify elderly drivers, and used Abroad by Car Enthusiasts. I love the Half-Teardrops in contrasting Bright and Subtle Blue. https://bit.ly/3PJo1d5 December 20, 2022 at 05:44AM
