Show HN: Annotate: Create walkthrough guides in the style of the Stripe docs https://bit.ly/4aubLXG

Show HN: Annotate: Create walkthrough guides in the style of the Stripe docs Hi HN! Founder of Annotate here. Annotate lets you create step-by-step code walkthroughs, inspired by Stripe’s documentation (e.g., https://bit.ly/49toN6o ) for your technical product. It comes with a React SDK that lets you embed walkthroughs directly in your docs or marketing materials. Check out an example walkthrough on the home page. Why build Annotate? I’ve been in the dev tooling space for the last 5 years and have two main learnings: 1. Developers first look for a quick start guide when exploring a technical product. A great quick start increase developer adoption. 2. Developers typically prefer code snippets that closely resemble real-world applications over traditional longer-form docs. Annotate helps you solve both above points. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback! https://bit.ly/3JAwFIV April 11, 2024 at 06:01PM

Show HN: CodeFusion, use LLMs with large codebases (with token context in mind) Manually copying and pasting code snippets is tedious. CodeFusion allows you to easily select and merge specific code files across your codebase into a single, cohesive prompt block so that you can stay within LLMs token context budget. https://bit.ly/3Q1mmkt April 11, 2024 at 05:51PM

Show HN: ChaosPixels: Collaborative Website Building Experiment https://bit.ly/4auMk86

Show HN: ChaosPixels: Collaborative Website Building Experiment Hey HN, I've been wanting to start this project for a long time, ever since I read an article about collaborative transformation of blob images[1], and I'm hoping it will take off here as I'm curious to see how it can grow. Here's how it works: - My website is available at https://bit.ly/3UcqBMD . You can find its code in the `src` directory of the linked repository. - Every day, I'll review all the open PRs (Pull Requests) and calculate a PR score based on the number of thumbs-up on the PR's opening comment. - The PR with the highest score will be merged and deployed. - Afterward, I'll close all the other PRs, and we'll start fresh the next day. --- [1] There was an experiment involving collaborative manipulation of blob images. Unfortunately, I can no longer find it. Maybe some of you can help locate it. https://bit.ly/4cSCIFN April 11, 2024 at 11:25AM

Show HN: Wunderbar, Learn Language While Working on Your Mac https://bit.ly/4cTqdK9

Show HN: Wunderbar, Learn Language While Working on Your Mac Hey everyone, I've been living in Germany for a while now and struggling to pick up German. Even though I finished a B1 level language course, remembering all the common German words has been tough. I've tried a bunch of apps, but couldn't stick to any of them. Last month, I had an idea. I thought, what if I could see a German word and its meaning on the Menu Bar of my Mac? That way, I could learn new words while working without needing to set aside dedicated time. The app uses a spaced-repetition algorithm, so you'll see the same word multiple times until you've got it down. And even after you've learned it, you'll still see it again to make sure you don't forget. After making the app, lots of people asked me to include other languages, therefore I’ve added languages like Spanish, French, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, and Italian. You can download the app here ($3.99): https://bit.ly/4auwham There's no subscription or anything like that. You pay once and it's yours forever. Let me know what you think!

Show HN: Next-token prediction in JavaScript – build fast LLMs from scratch https://bit.ly/3VPhZgf

Show HN: Next-token prediction in JavaScript – build fast LLMs from scratch What inspired this project today was watching this amazing video by 3Blue1Brown called "But what is a GPT?" on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZofJX0v4M - I highly recommend watching it). I added it to the repo for reference. When it clicked in my head that "knowing a fact" is nearly synonymous with predicting a word (or series of words), I wanted to put it to the test, because it seemed so simple. I chose JavaScript because I can exploit the way it structures objects to aid in the modeling of language. For example: "I want to be at the beach", "I will do it later", "I want to know the answer", ... becomes: { I: { want: { to: { be: { ... }, know: { ... } } }, will: { ... } }, ... } in JavaScript. You can exploit the language's fast object lookup speed to find known sentences this way, rather than recursively searching text - which is the convention and would take forever or not work at all considering there are several full books loaded in by default (and it could support many more). Accompanying research yielded learnings about what "tokens" and "embeddings" are, what is meant by "training", and most of the rest - though I'm still learning jargon. I wrote a script to iterate over every single word of every single book to rank how likely it is that word will appear next, if given a cursor, and extended that to rank entire phrases. The base decoder started out what I'll call "token-agnostic" - didn't care if you were looking for the next letter... word... pixel... it's the same logic. But actually it's not, and it soon evolved into a text (language) model. But I have plans to get into image generation next (next-pixel prediction), using this. Overall the concepts are similar, but there are differences primarily around extraction and formatting. Goals of the project: - Demystify LLMs for people, show that it's just regular code that does normal stuff - Actually make a pretty good LLM in JavaScript, with a version at least capable of running in a browser tab https://bit.ly/441BQL9 April 10, 2024 at 10:27PM

Show HN: QWANJI https://bit.ly/3JeAoM4

Show HN: QWANJI Hey HN! I've built this bit of cuteware (software not solving a problem but just for fun) inspired from the patterns made by swipe typing on mobile devices. To me it seemed like the closest thing to an English version of Kanji and it would be cool to consistently recreate those patterns. The implementation is vanilla js to keep things simple (and from a bit of framework fatigue) I'm keen to see how people use qwanji. Any and all feedback welcome! https://bit.ly/3vKsk2o April 8, 2024 at 01:23AM

Show HN: I created automatic subtitling app to boost short videos I made https://bit.ly/3PRgEla This is a web app to add automatic subtitles/captions into your short videos, I created this app because I was wasting so much time to add subtitles manually into my own social short videos and the quality was poor, but now it's easy and fast! I also needed to pay my bills and so I thought: why not help others getting access to this time saver app? That's how I decided to make it becomes a Saas and to share it with you today!

Show HN: Finboard – An Affordable Financial Database https://bit.ly/4cLddX4

Show HN: Finboard – An Affordable Financial Database I've developed a web app that organizes financial statements from SEC. There are similar products on the Internet, but all of them I found just "abstracts" raw information into something. For example, typical website has "Revenue" as a top-line metrics. In reality, that can be "Total Revenue", "Net Sales", "Operating Revenue", and so on. Those website can't cover exceptional values in same reason. I believe serious investors need raw financial statements aggregated because each number reflect the companies' financial performance. Major platforms like Bloomberg does that but too expensive for individuals. That's why I've built "Finboard". You can see the aggregated financial statements like this: https://bit.ly/3TRefrJ The idea also came from "Notion". Notion is a great tool with infinite use cases. I thought it would be great if we can have financial data in a text editor. So I've decided to build Editor & Database platform. Currently the“Card view”is the most powerful feature. You can screen a company lists (such as all US listed companies), and the result can show financial performance and/or stock price chart like this: https://bit.ly/4cP5qHS... You may also find it useful that Japanese companies’ financial information is also available in English on Finboard. The tech stack is: Next.js with TypeScript on Vercel and MongoDB Atlas. Open to any questions or feedback. Hope you might find it interesting! https://bit.ly/4aFMh9a April 8, 2024 at 08:53AM
