Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python https://bit.ly/3Im9e5q

Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python Hi HN, I've been taking a break from my big side projects to work on a smaller side project - a tiny build system that's based on what I've learned from using Ninja and ad-hoc Python for my homebrew build systems over the last few years. It's basically a promise-based dependency graph runner plus a simple text templating engine, and it works quite well for the smallish projects I've tried it out on so far. If you find Make crufty, CMake inconsistent, Ninja verbose, and Bazel just too much build system, give Hancho a try. Don't like one of Hancho's defaults? It's only 500 lines - hack it up however you like. https://bit.ly/3uVY304 March 3, 2024 at 12:15PM

Show HN: AuthWin – Authenticator App for Windows https://bit.ly/49Cyj81

Show HN: AuthWin – Authenticator App for Windows I have been using Authy on desktop to generate TOTP for 2FA. Recently got a message that they are shutting down the desktop client. I tried looking for a stand-alone and simple (as simple as Google Authenticator) app for Windows but did not find any, so I built one myself. It can generate Time-based OTP and can also import the QR code exported from Google Authenticator. Currently it supports only TOTP because that's what most services seem to use. The app utilises - OTP.Net for TOTP generation https://bit.ly/49DBnRm ZXing.Net for reading QR codes https://bit.ly/3T8L8jE QRCoder for creating QR codes https://bit.ly/49AUQSO Google protobuf for reading Google QR code protobuf message https://bit.ly/3IjJoia Utilising .proto file from https://bit.ly/3v4RZCp https://bit.ly/49TmVEw March 3, 2024 at 10:57AM

Show HN: Using GPT-4 to buy outfits I liked from movies and TV shows https://bit.ly/3uYdGnJ

Show HN: Using GPT-4 to buy outfits I liked from movies and TV shows In a nutshell: 1. I see so many outfits I like in shows, movies, F1 celebrity appearances etc., but I don't know where to buy those items, or they're too expensive. 2. Sometimes, I like the vibes of the outfit and I want to see similar items I can buy from my favourite stores. So I made this Chrome extension that lets you shop any outfit via picture. It uses GPT-4 to generate natural language descriptions of the items in the outfit, then searches the web for them. It also lets you set your preferred shops, sizes and budgets as filters, so you can see only stuff you would actually consider buying. Try it out if you're interested and let me know what you think! https://bit.ly/3P3Brl4 March 3, 2024 at 01:40AM

Show HN: An Algorithmic Audio Landscape https://bit.ly/430WAlE

Show HN: An Algorithmic Audio Landscape This is an web audio experiment I've been wanting to do for a long time. Basically an ambient music composition, but all the sound elements are laid out in space, and that musical space can be explored freely. It's definitely inspired by in-world music that sometimes appears in games. I basically took that concept, keeping the music aspect, and dropping the entire "game" aspect. I also turned it into a more "traditional" non-interactive album, but since I started with code, why not program the whole thing? Had a blast making the entire album from code, the complete source for the album is here: https://bit.ly/4309qAE https://bit.ly/3P6zrbX March 2, 2024 at 05:16PM

Show HN: Wake Up to Friends' Real-Time Voices with Moneep, the Social Alarm App https://bit.ly/48FS0dT

Show HN: Wake Up to Friends' Real-Time Voices with Moneep, the Social Alarm App Hello there! I'm Ryosuke, the developer behind moneep. I've always felt deeply dissatisfied with waking up to alarms every morning. Especially when waking up alone, it can be quite lonely and demotivating. That's why I created a streaming platform where instead of alarms, you can wake up to the real-time voices of your friends. By tuning into live streams hosted by your friends, you can feel like you're right there with them, sharing laughter and starting your day on a positive note. Whether you're someone who struggles to get out of bed in the morning or just looking for a fun way to kickstart your day, moneep has something for everyone. The moneep app is available for both iOS and Android. Give it a try and let me know what you think! https://bit.ly/48AfX6h March 2, 2024 at 01:01PM

Show HN: Payme, a library and CLI to generate QR codes for SEPA payments https://bit.ly/3Imj9HY

Show HN: Payme, a library and CLI to generate QR codes for SEPA payments I built this library and tool several years ago. Some event where I was a co-organizer needed pre-payment for the orders, and to make this easy without going the path of an online payment service, I sent automatic mails with payment QR codes included. The CLI also (by default) generates QR codes in the terminal, which I use often when an invoice needs to be paid: copy all necessary fields as CLI flags, generate the QR in the terminal, scan with the phone, double check everything and go! Maybe paying should not be this easy... https://bit.ly/4bRICGZ March 1, 2024 at 06:31PM

Show HN: Workout Tracker – self-hosted, single binary web application I tried some web tools to track my workouts (specifically, running); some (like FitTrackee) came close, but I always found annoyances. So I decided to build my own. Specifically geared towards distance-based workouts, such as walking, running or cycling. https://bit.ly/49wlooh February 29, 2024 at 02:45PM

Show HN: I made an app to use local AI as daily driver Hi Hackers, Excited to share a macOS app I've been working on: https://bit.ly/3ImHuNL for chatting with local AI. While it's amazing that you can run AI models locally quite easily these days (through llama.cpp / llamafile / ollama / llm CLI etc.), I missed feature complete chat interfaces. Tools like LMStudio are super powerful, but there's a learning curve to it. I'd like to hit a middleground of simplicity and customizability for advanced users. Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps: - UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver. Zero config setup, supports multi-modal chat, chat with multiple models in the same session, link your own gguf file. - Import ChatGPT history. This is probably my favorite feature. Import your hundreds of messages, search them and even continuing previous chats using local AI offline. - Full text search. Search for hundreds of messages and see results instantly. - Private and capable of working completely offline. Thanks to the amazing work of @ggerganov on llama.cpp which made this possible. If there is anything that you wish to exist in an ideal local AI app, I'd love to hear about it. https://bit.ly/3ImHuNL February 28, 2024 at 01:40AM

Show HN: Mountaineer – Webapps in Python and React https://bit.ly/3URc1el

Show HN: Mountaineer – Webapps in Python and React Hey HN, I’m Pierce. Today I’m open sourcing a beta of Mountaineer, an integrated framework for building webapps in React and Python. I’ve written a good 25+ webapps over the last few years in almost every major framework under the sun. Python and React remain my favorite. They let you get started quickly and grow to scale. But the developer experience of linking these two worlds remains less than optimal: — Sharing typehints and schemas across frontend and backend code — Scattered fetch() calls to template data and modify server objects — Server side rendering / gateway support — Error handling on frontend fetches Mountaineer is an attempt to solve those problems. I didn’t want to re-invent the wheel of what Python and React are good at, so it’s relatively light on syntax. It provides one frontend hook for React apps and introduces a MVC convention on the backend for managing views. Support files are generated progressively through a local watcher, so IDE type-hints and function calls work out of the box. It’s more intuitive to explain with some code, so pop over to the Github if you’re interested in this stack and taking a look: Github: https://bit.ly/3uCNleY More context: https://bit.ly/3UVYimr... Would love to hear your thoughts! https://bit.ly/3uCNleY February 27, 2024 at 03:59PM
