Show HN: Zeli – HN reader with AI digests for non-native speakers https://bit.ly/4dKn26S

Show HN: Zeli – HN reader with AI digests for non-native speakers I read Hacker News daily, but as a non-native English speaker, it often takes me a while to identify posts that interest me. So I created this tool—it uses an LLM to extract summaries and key highlights from articles, helping me quickly find the ones I want to read in depth. If you're a native English speaker, it can still be useful. Beyond just HN titles, it can give you a quick grasp of an article's main points, allowing you to decide whether to click through. Interestingly, for "Ask HN" posts, I've included a feature that selects the top 3 most insightful responses from the original thread. This lets you preview whether the comments section is worth exploring before you open the post. Happy browsing! https://bit.ly/47XMXXk October 9, 2024 at 07:00AM

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!

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 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
