Show HN: ChainFactory – Run Structured LLM Inference with Easy Parallelism hi everyone. how does moving llm call prompts and output structure definitions away from code into configuration land sound? would you use something like this if it was stable and well documented enough? please don't hold back the criticism. i appreciate all feedback (constructive & otherwise). https://bit.ly/3Wo3crx July 26, 2024 at 12:05AM

Show HN: Compile Erlang to WASM and run as HTTP/incoming-handler https://bit.ly/3SoIM0d

Show HN: Compile Erlang to WASM and run as HTTP/incoming-handler Hello! This is the most useless thing I did in quite some time, but it was fun. Compile erlang (actually BEAM) to wasm, statically link with a small http wrapper and run as a request handler under wasmtime. This is not very practical as of now and you better just compile atomvm and statically link it with erlang payload if you really need to run erlang on the edge node (you don't). When (if) typed continuations become a thing, this should also allow for erlang actor model. https://bit.ly/3WhSF0P July 25, 2024 at 08:15AM

Show HN: LogoMVP – Generate quick, professional logos for your MVP https://bit.ly/3yeJRkp

Show HN: LogoMVP – Generate quick, professional logos for your MVP I've always struggled with creating branding for new product ideas quickly. To solve this, I developed a formula for generating good-looking, easily replicable logotypes. I've now turned this into a tool that others can use. LogoMVP ( https://bit.ly/3Lzt5j8 ) lets you: - Choose a color scheme - Select a typography - Pick an icon - Generate a free SVG of your logo plus additional icons It's perfect for MVPs, side projects, or any situation where you need a decent logo fast without the hassle of complex design work. I built this tool to scratch my own itch, and I thought others in the HN community might find it useful too. It's free to use, and I'd love to get your feedback! https://bit.ly/3Lzt5j8 July 25, 2024 at 04:35AM

Show HN: Hooper – AI-driven stats and highlights for basketball play https://bit.ly/3Ygz6so

Show HN: Hooper – AI-driven stats and highlights for basketball play Hey everyone, OP here. Wanted to share a bit more about Hooper — I started building it with a good friend of mine six months ago. We play a lot of pickup together and were arguing about who has a better jump shot and ended up hacking together an app to settle it The way Hooper works is you can record yourself using the app and ideally a tripod (optional). The app will track everyone, whether its a solo practice, a 3v3, or a 5v5. We think there’s a lot of stuff out there for basketball drills but what we really wanted Hooper to be for is actual game play. That means, it can do things like track multiple players, sync two half court recordings, and differentiate 2s vs 3s. Once you finish recording, it’ll process for a bit and then ask you to tag yourself (and optionally other players). Then it spits back out a few things: you can watch the full footage as well as a clipped version that's only the interesting plays; you can see highlights and offensive box stats for every player. When you sign up, you get a Hooper profile that tracks your overall stats across the sessions. You can also do things like build a mixtape from your highlights for insta. You can friend other players on Hooper to see their profile & comment on their games (also add us “grub” and “kangexpress”!) We’ve been in a closed beta for about 3 months now, fixing bugs and getting things to work with a set of early adopters. We are now starting our open beta ! If anyone here wants to try it out, you can just download the app on https://bit.ly/3WBHwcI . We are early in our journey, and lots of improvements to be made in the next few months, but we would love your feedback and ideas! https://bit.ly/3y0TfZ3 July 24, 2024 at 10:39PM

Show HN: Track live mentions of any keyword on any forum + Twitter https://bit.ly/3Yi7rrg

Show HN: Track live mentions of any keyword on any forum + Twitter Hey HN! My name's Josh and I'm the sole founder of ForumScout. I had the idea for this project about 3 months ago, and I've been building it ever since. ForumScout notifies you whenever your chosen keyword(s) are mentioned on ANY forum or Twitter thread. For example, let's say you own a SaaS that generates AI headshots. You could get notified when someone mentions "AI headshot", and offer them a free trial of your service. There are many ways I believe a tool like this can be useful, but a few of the obvious ones are: - Respond to mentions of your brand/website in real time. - Find people who mention keywords related to your niche, and engage with potential customers. - Monitor mentions of your competition, and pick the right moments to offer your alternative. - Get creative. You can track live mentions of literally anything, anywhere on the internet. When new posts are found, they will be added to the feed in your dashboard. Email notifications are optional, but will help you engage much faster. Data is pulled from various different real-time Forum APIs, as well as a few native platform APIs, like Reddit. I also built a free search engine so you can search for past mentions if you don't need live ones: https://bit.ly/4dbR97o The search engine works differently from the live service, so it might miss quite a few posts - the live service doesn't miss any. Right now, there's a 2 week free trial that lets you setup 5 of these automations for free. If you'd like a longer trial period, please email me at josh@forumscout.app and I'd be more than happy to extend it for you in return for your feedback:) If it sounds like something you're interested in, I'd be extremely grateful to hear your thoughts. I'm considering adding new features and looking for direction. https://bit.ly/4dbRabs July 23, 2024 at 11:04PM

Show HN: I built an AI-powered professional headshot generator https://bit.ly/3xYB1r3

Show HN: I built an AI-powered professional headshot generator Hello HN, I've created QuickHeadshots ( https://bit.ly/4fsQEYL ), an AI-powered service that generates high-quality professional headshots from a few selfies. As a developer, I found existing solutions lacking in consistency and quality, so I decided to build my own. The app uses fine-tuned stable diffusion models to create realistic, professional-looking headshots suitable for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, or any other professional use. This is the result of a lot of experimentation around this to get to a decent quality. The goal has been quality and faithfulness to uploaded images. I'd love to get your feedback on the user experience, technical suggestions or any other aspects of the project. What do you think about the current state of AI-generated images for professional use? Are there any features you'd like to see added? I'm also happy to answer any questions. If you're interested in trying it out, drop a line at drop a line to support-at-quickheadshots.com for a discount code. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions! https://bit.ly/4fsQEYL July 23, 2024 at 12:09AM

Show HN: Chrome extension to save content to Google Sheets from the context menu Hey HN, I wanted to share Add to Sheets https://bit.ly/4dXKqiD , a Chrome extension, that I built to easily save content (text, links, image URLs, page links) to Google Sheets using the right-click context menu. Using the extension, you predefine the destination sheet and column where you want to save data, and then add content from any webpage with a right-click. You can also save content to multiple sheets (or columns) simultaneously. There is also functionality to find and save all email addresses, links, and image URLs on websites right to Sheets.

Show HN: Devs hate 30 mins sales demos. So a better way to do devtools GTM https://bit.ly/3LzOc4G

Show HN: Devs hate 30 mins sales demos. So a better way to do devtools GTM Hey everyone, How many of you hate the boring "Book a Demo" forms on B2B website? Now, how many of you have the same "Book a Demo" form on your website? It seems like lead forms are inevitable, right? But nobody likes to fill out those forms. So we built a better alternative for Devtools go-to-market approach at Chirp. Chirp streamlines collaboration between developers and sales engineers by creating dedicated Slack channels, enabling them to work together seamlessly and close deals faster. We don't take any data out of Slack and don't even ask for permission to read the conversations. Chirp's only task is to automate channel creation between the anonymous website visitor and the sales team on the other side. Give it a whirl and do share your feedback. https://bit.ly/3WvSGj1 July 22, 2024 at 01:19AM

Show HN: Gothem stack – An Htmx and templ template Hey all! I extracted out the stack of libraries I found myself using over and over for my projects in case anyone else would find them useful. This template uses go, templ, HTMX, echo, and mage and has worked pretty well for several projects. It isn't really a framework, more a jumping off point with all the boilerplate done for a server side rendered go app. It is still a work in progress and I would love feedback on it! https://bit.ly/3LtnniN July 20, 2024 at 12:52AM
