Show HN: Hardcover – Letterboxd for Books https://bit.ly/45cW180

Show HN: Hardcover – Letterboxd for Books Hi HN! A little over two years ago, Goodreads announced they were shutting off access to their API. I was using it to show what I was reading on my blog at the time, and started looking for alternatives. I found a few that showed potential. I'd been using Letterboxd for a few years at that point and felt it had something that was missing from GR and the others I found, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I decided to build it instead (I'm sure many creators can relate ). I made a post on the /r/cofounders subreddit about the idea, and found Ste. With me as a full-stack product dev and him on product design, we talked to hundreds of readers about what they want in a book tracking and social platform. We've listened to their feedback, tested and iterated constantly. We believe we've created a book space that feels as warm as a familiar library but as exciting as a midnight book launch party. This past weekend we launched Hardcover on Product Hunt (and hit #3!). We describe Hardcover as a book tracking social network for readers to find new books, track what they read and make lasting connections with other readers. So, Letterboxd for books! Here are a few of my favorite things you can do on Hardcover: Find books - Search for books you know of, check out trending books, explore lists and prompts to find hidden gems, review your recommendations, stumble on friends reads in your feed, or browse all book by genre, mood or tag. Decide what to read - Besides all the book facts you'd expect to see, we show you a personalized Match Score from 0% to 100% for each book based on your reading history. You'll also see ratings & reviews from readers you follow and readers most similar to you. Track your reading - One place for every book you want to read, have read and more. You can set your privacy level to public, private (for a book?) or friends only. Use Airlists (our version of Airtable for Books) to further organize your library. Log your reads - Rate and review books on a 5-star scale with half-star increments. Showcase your favorite books on your profile at hardcover.app/@username Read even more - Set reading goals and explore your reading stats through charts and data visualizations to help keep you consistent and understand your own reading habits and tastes. AI librarian, Bookle game, referral program, Goodreads/StoryGraph importer, GraphQL API, light/dark modes, an active Discord and so much more! I'm excited to share and get feedback from the Hacker News community we've all been a part of for so long (even if I've mostly lurked here since 2009 ). In terms of launch numbers (which I always love to see), here's our dashboard that shows how it went. We had about 250 new members join in the last 3 days, and a few new subscribers. We're still a ways away from being profitable. It costs us about $1,000/month to run Hardcover – even before salaries. We're about 30% of the way there. https://bit.ly/3ZD7b4u... I'm most excited about the momentum from launch - seeing people share Hardcover with friends of theirs who read and growing the community. If you're a reader I'd love to invite you to join us! Any feedback, questions or comments are always welcome. I'm an open book, so feel free to ask me anything. Adam https://bit.ly/45eGm87 https://bit.ly/3ZCtAz6 October 2, 2023 at 10:46PM

Show HN: Maximize Signal-to-Noise ratio with controllable newfeeds https://bit.ly/3ZAYgkg

Show HN: Maximize Signal-to-Noise ratio with controllable newfeeds The goal of Personamo is to give you a single interface to choose the sources you want to read from, and then easily customize the feed algorithm underneath. Right now, as platforms do not provide us with a flexible set of filters, it’s tough to control the amount of noise in your feed manually. The bulk of news and content we consume every day is overwhelming and make it hard to focus on what really matters. Ideally, any newsfeed should reflect your interests and priorities. In reality, TikTok's newsfeeds constantly suggest dancing girls and Twitter's are filled with AI-generated shit posts. At a high level, here's how it should work: you pick your sources, customize your feed algorithm using LEGO-like blocks, and voila - you have a feed that's tailored just for you. To bring this idea to life, we created Personamo, a platform that gathers content from various news sites, blogs, and subreddits, so you can consume and organize your information all in one place. What's great is that Personamo lets you create different feeds for your different personas. You can have separate feeds for your professional self, your hobbyist self, your learner self, and more. No more scrolling through cat videos when you're actually looking to learn about quantum physics. My friend and I have been working on this product for a while now, and I'm stoked to share it with the HackerNews community. We truly believe it can profoundly impact the way you consume information and eager to hear your feedback/suggestions.

Show HN: Antonemo – A Game of Words and Their Opposites https://bit.ly/3PYEJXC

Show HN: Antonemo – A Game of Words and Their Opposites I had the idea to build this game when the Wordle craze was going on. Antonemo is somewhat inspired by the hard mode of Wordle. I finally built the game now as I wanted to learn some new web frameworks. To my knowledge, no other similar game exists. In Antonemo, your goal is to construct words and unlock letters by finding their antonyms, which then allows you to create even more words. For a more detailed understanding of the game-play, you can refer to the in-game instructions or the GitHub README. The game offers a challenging yet educational experience, allowing players to expand their vocabulary and learn about new words. If you’re ever stuck, the game provides hints for both words and their antonyms. The game also features multiple word lists that you can cycle through for an ever-changing challenge. https://bit.ly/3PWjF4b October 1, 2023 at 10:33AM

Show HN: Stargazers Reloaded – LLM-Powered Analyses of Your GitHub Community https://bit.ly/3PXvNkn

Show HN: Stargazers Reloaded – LLM-Powered Analyses of Your GitHub Community Hey friends! We have built an app for getting insights about your favorite GitHub community using large language models. The app uses LLMs to analyze the GitHub profiles of users who have starred the repository, capturing key details like the topics they are interested in. It takes screenshots of the stargazer's GitHub webpage, extracts text using an OCR model, and extracts insights embedded in the extracted text using LLMs. This app is inspired by the “original” Stargazers app written by Spencer Kimball (CEO of CockroachDB). While the original app exclusively used the GitHub API, this LLM-powered app built using EvaDB additionally extracts insights from unstructured data obtained from the stargazers’ webpages. Our analysis of the fast-growing GPT4All community showed that the majority of the stargazers are proficient in Python and JavaScript, and 43% of them are interested in Web Development. Web developers love open-source LLMs! We found that directly using GPT-4 to generate the “golden” table is super expensive — costing $60 to process the information of 1000 stargazers. To maintain accuracy while also reducing cost, we set up an LLM model cascade in a SQL query, running GPT-3.5 before GPT-4, that lowers the cost to $5.5 for analyzing 1000 GitHub stargazers. We’ve been working on this app for a month now and are excited to open source it today :) Some useful links: * Blog Post - https://bit.ly/3PXvPsv... * GitHub Repository - https://bit.ly/3rHqihg * EvaDB - https://bit.ly/3PGgpIU Please let us know what you think!

Show HN: A tool to help optimise your system prompt https://bit.ly/3ZGecBF

Show HN: A tool to help optimise your system prompt I needed a way to choose between different system prompts for a ChatGPT-powered side project, so I built Prompt Picker. The basic idea is: specify some candidate system prompts and a few example user inputs, and then run a blind experiment where you choose the better output from pairs of generations. If you need to optimise the system prompt for your LLM-powered application, give it a try and let me know what you think. https://bit.ly/3ZGeeth September 30, 2023 at 12:29PM
