Show HN: MinimalChat – A Simple and Customizable LLM Chat Application https://bit.ly/3UU9EH0

Show HN: MinimalChat – A Simple and Customizable LLM Chat Application Hello everyone! I have a hobby project that has become fairly full featured that I figured I would share. The idea of MinimalChat has been to create a project that is a lightweight and dead simple application that can be deployed locally in a few seconds (with docker). While of course also having most of the nice to have features and looking pretty nice. A nice bonus is it a Progressive Web Application so it can be installed like a normal application to your mobile device. It has a full mobile UI. For those using Chrome and Edge you can also locally download, load and host entirely via your browser models like LLama-3-8b with hardware acceleration via WebGPU. It's pretty experimental but it does work! I won't bloat this post reiterating it's features, the GitHub Readme gives a good idea of the application abilities. I know chat applications are a dime a dozen but...here's another one hah! https://bit.ly/3yfLL3V May 11, 2024 at 04:49AM

Show HN: Qualitician – Software Testing Job Board https://bit.ly/4btYhuY

Show HN: Qualitician – Software Testing Job Board Hi HN! I'm really excited to share this project with the Hacker News community and would love to hear your valuable feedback/suggestions. Qualitician is a platform for job seekers to find software testing jobs and for businesses to find and hire software testing talent. Few Reasons to create this, 1. I’m a software tester by profession and at some point of time during my career, I had to visit multiple general job boards for software testing jobs. 2. There’s never been a dedicated career portal for job seekers and employers in the software testing domain. 3. Bright Outlook occupations (Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers) are expected to grow rapidly in the next several years, will have large numbers of job openings. 4. The demand for skilled software testing professionals is growing rapidly as more organizations adopt quality engineering practices and integrate software testing into every stage of the SDLC. 5. Reports suggest that most IT companies spend about a quarter(25%) of their QA budget on software QA staffing. We made it available to users in India first and we are planning to release it to other country users asap. Please check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks! https://bit.ly/3WA3Ljw May 10, 2024 at 03:36PM

Show HN: A web debugger an ex-Cloudflare team has been working on for 4 years https://bit.ly/3UWxDFP

Show HN: A web debugger an ex-Cloudflare team has been working on for 4 years Hey HN, I wanted to show you a product a small team and I have been working on for 4 years. https://bit.ly/3JUjZfR It’s called Jam and it prevents product managers (like I used to be) from being able to create vague and un-reproducible bug tickets (like I used to create). It’s actually really hard as a non-engineer to file useful bug tickets for engineers. Like, sometimes I thought I included a screenshot, but the important information the engineer needed was what was actually right outside the boundary of the screenshot I took. Or I'd write that something "didn't work" but the engineer wasn't sure if I meant that it returned an error or if it was unresponsive. So the engineer would be frustrated, I would be frustrated, and fixing stuff would slow to a halt while we went back and forth to clarify how to repro the issue over async Jira comments. It’s actually pretty crazy that while so much has changed in how we develop software (heck, we have types in javascript now*), the way we capture and report bugs is just as manual and lossy as it was in the 1990’s. We can run assembly in the browser but there’s still no tooling to help a non-engineer show a bug to an engineer productively. So that’s what Jam is. Dev tools + video in a link. It’s like a shareable HAR file synced to a video recording of the session. And besides video, you can use it to share an instant replay of a bug that just happened — basically a 30 second playback of the DOM as a video. We’ve spent a lot of time adding in a ton of niceties, like Jam writes automatic repro steps for you, and Jam’s dev tools use the same keyboard shortcuts you’re used to in Chrome dev tools, and our team’s personal favorite: Jam parses GraphQL responses and pulls out mutation names and errors (which is important because GraphQL uses one endpoint for all requests and always returns a 200, meaning you usually have to sift through every GraphQL request when debugging to find the one you’re looking for) We’re now 2 years in to the product being live and people have used Jam to fix more than 2 million bugs - which makes me so happy - but there’s still a ton to do. I wanted to open up for discussion here and get your feedback and opinions how can we make it even more valuable for you debugging? The worst part of the engineering job is debugging and not even being able to repro the issue, it’s not even really engineering, it’s just a communication gap, one that we should be able to solve with tools. So yeah excited to get your feedback and hear your thoughts how we can make debugging just a little less frustrating. (Jam is free to use forever — there is a paid tier for features real companies would need, but we’re keeping a large free plan forever. We learned to build products at Cloudflare and free tier is in our ethos, both my co-founder and I and about half the team is ex-Cloudflare) and what we loved there is how much great feedback we’d get because the product was mostly free to use. We definitely want to keep that going at Jam.) By the way, we’re hiring engineers and if this is a problem that excites you, we’d love to chat: jam.dev/careers May 10, 2024 at 02:08PM

Show HN: Tegon: AI-first open source alternative to Jira and Linear https://bit.ly/4ae9X3S

Show HN: Tegon: AI-first open source alternative to Jira and Linear Hi HN, this is Harshith from Tegon ( https://bit.ly/3UzQLYF ) an open-source issue-tracker that uses AI to automate manual tasks and workflows, and to provide context to engineers for a given task. Here is a demo video: ( https://bit.ly/4bwCqmS?... ) As engineers we hated Jira, it is slow and too complicated and enables a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity. What makes Tegon faster: We load all the data from local (indexed db), making it super fast to load and navigate. We make this happen by doing a real-time sync in the background. Then we use AI to automatically create a title from the description, so you don't have to spend time figuring out a title. We then suggest labels, assignees and duplicate issues when you are creating a new issue Then we have a "Command Center" of agents: 1. Code Review Agent reviews linked pull requests for new tasks, ensuring code quality by preventing the incorporation of suboptimal code. 2. Bug Agent, upon bug assignment, will attempt to reproduce the bug, propose solutions, and in some cases, even implement these solutions in a new PR. 3. Task Prioritisation Agent assists team leaders in managing the sprint by doing real-time assessments of the tasks, priority, and bandwidth and suggesting changes to be made. We got started on this a few months ago with lots more to come. We’re eager to get feedback and keep building, so please let us know what you think! https://bit.ly/4ae9uir May 7, 2024 at 08:52PM

Show HN: SimBricks – Modular Full-System Simulation for HW-SW Systems https://bit.ly/3URESi3

Show HN: SimBricks – Modular Full-System Simulation for HW-SW Systems Hi HN, we are building SimBricks, an open-source simulation framework for heterogeneous systems, especially with custom hardware. SimBricks modularly combines existing simulators for machines, networks, and hardware, allowing you to build, test, and evaluate intricate complete systems in a virtual environment. Head over to the SimBricks website ( https://bit.ly/3wq6ly4 , also has a quick demo video) to learn more. We have pre-built docker images, and you can even immediately play around on codespaces. Concrete use-cases: - Evaluate HW accelerators, from early design with simple behavioral models, to simulating complete Verilog implementations, both as part of complete systems with many instances of the accelerator and machines running full OS and real applications (we did a university course on this with SimBricks). - Test network protocols, topologies, and communication stacks for real workloads in potentially large systems (we ran up to 1000 hosts so far). - Rapid RTL prototyping for FPGAs, no waiting for synthesis or fiddling with timing initially (we simulate the complete unmodified RTL for the Corundum Open-source NIC with their unmodified PCIe drivers). SimBricks originally started out as an internal research tool, for helping us build and evaluate our research ideas on network protocol offload, but has since grown into a separate open-source project. Would be great if you give it a shot and let us know what you think! https://bit.ly/3wq6ly4 May 8, 2024 at 11:22PM

Show HN: I built a Notion for science https://bit.ly/3woNOC8

Show HN: I built a Notion for science I struggle with handwritten notes, but it's always been the primary way to write scientific notes. To do scientific writing on existing keyboard-and-mouse tools generally requires either significant knowledge of the software, the use of screenshotting/exporting from external tools, or (often) both. That's why I made Stempad, which is meant to rival the speed of pen-and-paper for scientific writing. I've currently added 7 different scientific blocks (and several basic blocks too) and plan to continuously add more. Questions are welcome, and preliminary feedback or constructive criticism is really appreciated!

Show HN: I built a random dilemma generator https://bit.ly/44tjjrf

Show HN: I built a random dilemma generator Last week my 9 year old son walked up to me and asked "Would your rather shit your pants in public or drink spoiled milk?", and I was intrigued. Turns out he did not make this up himself, but got the dilemma from a card game. A couple of nights ago I decided to digitize some of these cards and create a simple open source app for it. Just a little fun project; no monetization or bigger goal, really. Link: https://bit.ly/4dp923B Tech stack: - Back-end: Laravel - Front-end: Plain HTML and Tailwind with a sprinkle of Alpine.js - Deployment: Laravel Forge, linked to a Hetzner VPS. Deployment triggers whenever I merge to main. The app itself is super simple. Just a bunch of markdown files and a controller that picks two random files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://bit.ly/4dp923B May 5, 2024 at 09:04PM
