Show HN: A Swift app I made in 4 months with no prior experience https://bit.ly/43gmh09

Show HN: A Swift app I made in 4 months with no prior experience I have always dreamed of learning Swift and creating apps for iOS, but I never found the motivation to do so. I was scared by the complexity and the learning curve of programming with UIKit and Storyboard. I thought they were too complicated and too boring for me. But then I discovered SwiftUI, the new framework for building user interfaces for Apple platforms. I was captivated by its simplicity and elegance. I watched some videos and read some articles about it and I was blown away by what it could do. I decided to give it a shot and see if I could learn it and make something with it. I set myself a goal: to build my first SwiftUI app in 4 months. I had no prior experience or knowledge of programming with Swift, so I started from zero. I downloaded Xcode and opened a new SwiftUI project. I followed the "100 Days of SwiftUI", a free course by Paul Hudson that taught me the basics of SwiftUI and Swift. I learned how to use SwiftUI's declarative syntax to create the user interface components, such as buttons, lists, text fields and navigation bars. I also learned how to use some of the built-in features of SwiftUI, such as animations, transitions, gestures and dark mode. This free course gave me everything that I needed to build a stunning app from scratch. This course was so good that I decided to buy other Swift books from the author. Thank you Paul for creating such a great course! (Here is the course link: https://bit.ly/3pzmeyE ) I decided to build a simple and elegant mood tracking app that syncs across all your iOS devices. I called it MoodUp. I wanted to make it easy and intuitive for users to track and analyze their moods anytime, anywhere. I used CloudKit, a cloud service that provides database and asset storage for apps, to store and sync the mood data. I learned how to use CloudKit's APIs to create, update, delete and fetch records from the cloud database. After 4 months of hard work, learning and fun, I finally finished my first SwiftUI app. I was proud of what I had achieved and eager to share it with the world. However, my app is still in pre-order mode and won't be available until July 7th. This is because I wanted to make sure that everything works smoothly and there are no major bugs or issues before releasing it to the public. I submitted my app to the App Store for review and waited for approval. A few days later, I received an email from Apple saying that my app was approved and ready for pre-order. I was overjoyed and excited with tears. I launched my app on the App Store and announced it here on Hacker News, hoping to get some attention and feedback from the community. That's how I went from zero to SwiftUI and built my first app in 4 months. It was a challenging but rewarding journey that taught me a lot about SwiftUI, Swift, CloudKit and app development in general. I hope you enjoyed reading my story and maybe got inspired to start your own SwiftUI project. If you want to check out my app, you can pre-order it for free from the App Store here: https://apple.co/3ptFjCx... Please upvote and pre-order the app for free if you like it because as a small indie developer, I need your support. Thank you for reading! https://apple.co/3pzmfTe July 5, 2023 at 01:29PM

Show HN: Lemon AI open-source Zapier NLA to empower agents https://bit.ly/3JJWgPO

Show HN: Lemon AI – open-source Zapier NLA to empower agents Hi HN, excited to share this open source Zapier NLA alternative I’ve been working on. A few weeks ago I found myself struggling to automate a relatively straightforward internal workflow using an open source LLM (update Hubspot based on Airtable entry and personal information coming from web sources, and send out a summary via Slack). There was no way to interact with these tools in a robust way so I decided to build my own connectors. While the existing connectors out there are helpful to reduce the risk of hallucinations by reading data from sources, agents only become truly powerful when they are able to reliably perform workflows for us. For this, my view is that a secure and robust way to execute write operations is needed. Lemon AI allows for both read and write operations in various tools - even if you work with open source LLMs. It can be used in combination with Langchain and allows for easy integration with your existing agents. I would love your feedback on what can be improved! https://bit.ly/43erllR July 5, 2023 at 03:29PM

Show HN: JobLens AI-powered job search for 'Who Is Hiring' https://bit.ly/3PGYrrf

Show HN: JobLens – AI-powered job search for 'Who Is Hiring' There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further. Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread ( https://bit.ly/448Vvbn ), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences: * Country and remote work preferences * Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government) * Industry * Technologies used * Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.) * Salary range (where available) One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from any format X to any other format Y. We leverage this to map all the unstructured job postings into the same unified structure. The new GPT functions feature and the extended context windows are really helpful for this. Instead of having to build a custom NER pipeline, it works very well with GPT out-of-the box. One challenge is keeping the filters consistent and merging of duplicates. Embeddings help with that. What's next: * Integrate additional sources. We can generate web scrapers and data processing steps on the fly that extract and transform data into the same structure. * Add location distance filters. * Expand beyond jobs to monitor personalized data like events or real estate. Imagine using AI to rate local events from multiple sources based on your preferences, considering factors like your interests and distance from home. * Smaller improvements based on your feedback :) https://bit.ly/44a0fxs July 3, 2023 at 04:16PM

Show HN: Eddie A Smart Video Editor with Python [Seeking Feedback] https://bit.ly/3CU5Age

Show HN: Eddie – A Smart Video Editor with Python [Seeking Feedback] Eddie the Smart Video Editor is a Python script that automates the process of editing videos based on specific code-words you say while recording the video. It takes a video file, converts it into an audio file, transcribes the audio to text using OpenAI's Whisper API and identifies segments between specified code-words. It then cuts out these segments from the original video, removes any silence and produces a new edited video file ready for the final touches. False recording starts are also okay as it only matches the last occurrence of the 'start' code-word when the next code-word is the 'end' code-word. I wanted to jump into the far deepest of deep ends and ask for feedback please. I am kind of scared of you all tbh but I value learning more than crapping my pants. Thank you. https://bit.ly/448ryIe July 2, 2023 at 11:38PM
