Show HN: Offline audiobook from any format with one CLI command https://bit.ly/47Y0LRZ

Show HN: Offline audiobook from any format with one CLI command QuickPiperAudiobook locally generates an mp3 audiobook on Linux with one easy command. It can convert PDFs, epub, mobi, and many more by using ebook-convert. It uses any piper TTS model, and thus supports a wide variety of languages. I've had great success using it to read more while reducing eye strain and computer usage. I think I've probably read 30 or so books this way now over the past year. Being able to listen to any content you want in audio form free and offline while going for a walk is extremely handy. I hope it helps you as well! Cheers https://bit.ly/47SNLwN October 7, 2024 at 04:43AM

Show HN: Gato Prompt Lang – keep prompt content and responses short in JSON https://bit.ly/4dwskmh

Show HN: Gato Prompt Lang – keep prompt content and responses short in JSON It started with me trying to get consistent json output but then evolved to something I can use to get consistent outputs structured in the way I need with, which is essential to consume responses in software. I seem to get json consistent 100% of the time when I use the API but when I use the UI I occasionally some response data not in the json. https://bit.ly/4eCXGsT October 2, 2024 at 06:46AM

Show HN: I made a lightweight webapp as an MVP for processing CSV files Over time I wish to add capabilities to create dashboards, allow users to create pipelines and share dashboards, results summary, or create email templates. But all this requires a backend and, most important, possibility of a market with paying users for the backend stuff. P.S. could have minor UI bugs, https://bit.ly/47TwtiY October 6, 2024 at 12:53PM

Show HN: Stig – a minimalistic puzzle game on Steam, written in React https://bit.ly/4gQnQKd

Show HN: Stig – a minimalistic puzzle game on Steam, written in React Me and my boyfriend are making a puzzle game together. The goal of the game is to follow a specific pattern by moving around in a grid. Since we are both web developers, we chose to do it in React and Typescript rather than a game engine. We will release it on Steam in November, using Electron to package the app as a desktop executable. Not sure if it has saved us time to do it in React, but we didn't feel like learning a new tool and it has worked really well! I thought making a game would take a lot of time, but we started in December so we will finish this project in less than a year. And we have had lots of fun making it :) Would be fun to hear if someone has done something similar! Try out the demo at https://bit.ly/3ZRKhIV or https://bit.ly/4gPQYkT . I have posted about Stig before, roughly 7 months ago ( https://bit.ly/3zBkydf ). Since then we have changed the levels, updated the menu structure, added a lot of polish etc. https://bit.ly/3ZRKhIV October 5, 2024 at 07:39AM

Show HN: Reintroducing Cap, the open source Loom alternative https://bit.ly/3XVJR1G

Show HN: Reintroducing Cap, the open source Loom alternative Hey everyone! We launched the first version of Cap earlier this year. It wasn't great. We had tons of feedback. A couple of months ago we started rebuilding Cap from the ground up (Tauri V2 + SolidJS). We're now focused on being local first. Cap is 100% free to use locally. New features include a powerful editor, screenshots, hotkeys and just overall a much better experience. Would love for you to test it out - appreciate you! Cheers, Richie https://bit.ly/47SMINc October 4, 2024 at 02:53PM

Show HN: Compose2nix – NixOS and Docker Compose made easy https://bit.ly/3Ymcl6h

Show HN: Compose2nix – NixOS and Docker Compose made easy Hi! compose2nix is a CLI tool that automatically converts your Docker Compose project into a NixOS configuration[1]. * Why does this even exist? Well, NixOS is a Linux distro that is configured using Nix (the language). However, Compose adds a configuration layer on top that is opaque to Nix, which means you lose out on some of the "magic" of NixOS. compose2nix solves this by "lifting" Compose functionality into native Nix/NixOS constructs, which results in a more native integration with NixOS. In addition, this tool unlocks two primary use-cases: 1. You can run existing non-trivial applications - e.g., Immich - without worrying if they're natively packaged for NixOS. 2. You can bring your existing Compose stack over to NixOS and run it as-is without having to rewrite it in Nix. The auto-generated config can either act as a starting point, or you can keep your Compose file as the source of truth and re-generate it as you go. * How does it work? compose2nix maps Compose constructs into systemd services that run native Docker/Podman commands. Under the hood, the tool utilizes the same Compose library[2] used by the Docker CLI, so you also get Compose syntax checking "for free". In a way, it's a thin re-implementation of the Docker Compose CLI. One thing to point out is that compose2nix aims to natively support both Podman and Docker as container runtimes. The README has a bit more detail. There's also a (somewhat rambly) video that explains what the project is about and includes a short demo of the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCAFyzJ81Pg Oh, and please feel free to shoot me any questions or feedback (good or bad)!

Show HN: I made a Windows XP themed fantasy football game https://bit.ly/3XUC584

Show HN: I made a Windows XP themed fantasy football game Built this work in progress website with some friends for our fantasy football competition. The interface is styled using React to look like the early 2000s Windows XP operating system. For the actual competition our UI/UX was different, and I'm not sure if this nostalgic design will be the most practical for our next competition. Ultimately the contest was really fun, we already had a winner paid out and contestants asking about future contests, so I'm exploring the best UI/UX that can be used moving forward. https://bit.ly/3XQSri7 October 4, 2024 at 01:44AM

Show HN: Speech-to-speech playground for OpenAI's new Realtime API https://bit.ly/3BsLRXC

Show HN: Speech-to-speech playground for OpenAI's new Realtime API Hi there - Ben from LiveKit here! If you’re curious about OpenAI’s brand-new Realtime API and speech-to-speech model, check out this hosted playground and play with the model yourself. If you’d like to learn more about how this came together, read on. If you’re like me, you’ve probably been wondering what novel things a model like this can do in an API setting with unfettered access to the system prompt and other parameters. I’ve been fortunate to have had early access through my work at LiveKit, where we’ve built open-source developer tooling that makes deploying this model in a production app as simple as possible. I thought it would also be fun to build a “playground” environment, partially to dogfood our own tooling but largely because I just wanted to play with the model. This playground is freely available to anyone to try, and comes loaded up with a bunch of fun demos of the model’s unique capabilities that I’ve put together. What blew my mind is how much mileage you can get out of the system prompt alone in this API. Here are some use-cases that are at least halfway to a complete MVP: - "Customer Support": An complete phone support agent for the playground - "Spanish Tutor": A bilingual language-learning demo - "Meditation Coach": It can actually pause and resume speech all on its own as it guides you through a meditation routine Also some fun (and a bit irreverent…) demos of its style and non-verbal capabilities: - "Smoker’s Rasp": It can cough and speak like it’s been smoking three packs a day for 30 years (my favorite, lol) - "Unconfident Assistant": Umms, buts, and more - surprisingly lifelike - "Opera Singer": The best singing demo I’ve been able to compose (but still not quite what they showed off back in May…) The playground doesn’t store anything anywhere besides your browser but you can share anything fun you put together with a link that encodes your config into URL params. For now - anyone can use this playground to access the model and give it a spin (session limit 5min). In the coming days when more people have access to the underlying API, I’ll update it to require you bring your own OpenAI API Key. Lastly - if you’re even more curious how this was built or want to tweak or adapt it for yourself, the whole project and every dependency is open-source (link in footer!). https://bit.ly/3XQ25S5 October 2, 2024 at 02:59AM
