Show HN: Reddit Firehose https://bit.ly/3N7r3sa

Show HN: Reddit Firehose Inspired by the upcoming reddit API changes, I built this to (ab)use the existing free-to-use API to view the latest content being posted in a minimalist infinite doom-scrolling web app. Warning: despite filtering NSFW-tagged content by default, you'll probably see some things that aren't exactly office-friendly. User beware. https://bit.ly/3qlhehh May 31, 2023 at 09:24PM

Show HN: Micro Chat – Private group chat https://bit.ly/43BsLXQ

Show HN: Micro Chat – Private group chat Hey all I'm Asim. I'm an engineer who's been hacking on an open source project called Micro for the past eight years ( https://bit.ly/3oJsQtN ). In that time I've done a lot of things, all Dev related but ultimately most of my career was spent working on platforms for consumer products. After many attempts I've decided the path forward is to focus on building something that solves my own problem. Micro Chat is a solution to some of the social media problems I've been having. What I've been looking for most of my life is a community. A place to belong. I scoured the internet for that with strangers. But I think that's wrong. The public forums are also the wrong place to find that connection. What we need to do is focus on smaller communities starting with real connections. We need to strip away a lot of the addictive behaviours and issues created by social media. I think things like hackernews are great because it's very simple text based, with no notification and centers around conversations about topics of interest. I think that's how group chat should also be. The difference here is, I want a place to build small private communities e.g micro communities. Most real groups lose their value beyond a certain size. For me that's around 20 people. As an introvert I really care about strong connections with a handful of people. Unfortunately those real world connections are now spread globally as people moved away and while we have private slacks or WhatsApp grojps to stay in touch it just feels like the wrong setup for that. If anything I want to consolidate it into one place. Anyway I'm sharing this now to get some feedback. I think the tech and the product will evolve but only by finding out if others feel the same. https://bit.ly/3NePAvv https://bit.ly/3NePAvv May 31, 2023 at 08:55AM

Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists https://bit.ly/3MPjoxk

Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists Hello HN community! I’m one of the founders of Magma, a multiplayer art platform. You might recall our earlier post ( https://bit.ly/3wRyawY ), and today we’re sharing a significant update with our artist-focused, multiplayer AI assistant, a first in the realm of collaborative creative tools. Hope you’ll like it! See how it works in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk . For in-depth understanding, here’s our documentation ( https://bit.ly/3MPjq8q ) and our AI manifesto ( https://bit.ly/3MPjqVY ) which is a guiding document for us. We're inviting you to get hands-on with this new feature. Join any of these canvases (up to 50 live contributors each): https://bit.ly/3WJGEkT , https://bit.ly/3MCsfCe , https://bit.ly/3oHm73J , https://bit.ly/3MPjg0O , https://bit.ly/3WGKwms , https://bit.ly/3N6mMFp , https://bit.ly/3oMug6R , https://bit.ly/3MPjtkC , https://bit.ly/3IPmEHx , https://bit.ly/3MHw894 . All of these canvases have extra feature flags enabled but if you’d like to go beyond them, feel free to join our beta community https://bit.ly/3INUr40 Our artist-first approach is rooted in our belief that human creativity should remain the heart of artistry. With our AI handling routine tasks, artists can focus on true creativity. Importantly, our AI preserves artists' copyright as it provides a clear distinction between human-generated and AI-generated content. Beyond just art, Magma is a powerful tool for game dev and animation, offering powerful design & review tools for all stages of the creative process. Our Slack/GDrive-like workspaces (we call them Artspaces) expose API and even shell tools. One can even render any artwork in the terminal. :) Technically speaking, our collaborative drawing engine is powered by Typescript, Node.JS, WebGL, with a hint of WebAssembly for hand-optimized performance that even Chromebooks can handle. The backend also leverages a high performance Typescript Deepkit Framework https://bit.ly/3IPmPCH Our AI assistant runs on a worker-based architecture akin to Gitlab CI workers, currently leveraging Stable Diffusion 2.1. Future developments will allow connecting your own AI worker, training custom models within Magma, and plugging in API keys from other AI backends. Feedback, questions, thoughts? Let's discuss! Happy creating with a helping hand of AI! P.S. A shout-out to the HN community, our last post here helped us connect with an amazing technical angel investor who has made significant contributions. Looking forward to more such productive connections! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk May 31, 2023 at 02:49PM

Show HN: Find the sickest motorcycle rides in your area with Peg Scraper Dear HN, This is a little weekend project I put together for a good friend of mine who loves to ride. It shows you the best, twistiest roads in your area and then randomly selects a few of them until you see a "loop" that you like—then it shoots you straight to Google Maps with the route pre-loaded. Thought I would drop it here because why not. https://bit.ly/3N6QjPf May 31, 2023 at 02:02PM

Show HN: iOS iCal Helper Hello HN! Long time lurker and Apple user here. I made this simple tool to load .ics files client-side and open it in-browser so Apple's iCal integration enables adding it to their calendar. To say the app is barebones is an understatement: I made it in 2 minutes. Visual enhancements might come.

Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua https://bit.ly/3ILoCIY

Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua I created a small 2D game engine named Tiny. The engine was created using Kotlin Multiplatform and can run on a JVM and JS. Funny things: Games can be created using the programming language Lua. Tiny is designed to help you create and test your ideas quickly and effectively. Not only can you run your games on your desktop computer, but you can also export them for the web, making it easy to share your creations with others. You can create games easily with the hot reload, small API and Lua, which is very easy to learn. If you want to test a game idea, to try to create your first game or just have fun, give it a try to Tiny. https://bit.ly/3IKQQ6K May 29, 2023 at 08:19PM

Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment https://bit.ly/3OLgTPc

Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment HB here, sharing my first post ; ) I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills. Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours? https://bit.ly/3oyIV5J , has the following goals: 1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms. 2. Employ AI to help rank applicants for each role, based on human factors and company culture. 3. Transform the selection process into something akin to scrolling through TikTok or using Tinder. Job seekers won't need to fill out forms, attach resumes, create an account or download anything. They just scan a QR code, record a short video, and they're done. It's truly simple! The aim was never to build an ATS (too complex for our needs) or a job listing site (there are many already). Instead, something simpler, to use wherever we already advertise vacancies, be it online or in print. We believe small businesses that lack recruitment tools (like we did) might appreciate it, although Candydate can certainly help businesses of all sizes. I have no idea how to launch or promote this type of tool, so any feedback or tips on spreading the word or improving the app would be immensely appreciated. Many thanks, HN! https://bit.ly/3oyIV5J May 29, 2023 at 03:34PM

Show HN: Prototyping Games and Experiences with ChatGPT https://bit.ly/3WLYun9

Show HN: Prototyping Games and Experiences with ChatGPT Hey everyone, ChatGPT recently added a very small but powerful feature - the ability to share your chats! I think it’s a great way to create prototypes and share them, here are a couple of examples: First, [a small talk simulator](https://bit.ly/3INkFng) a game to help you improve your social skills. Second, [a shark tank simulator](https://bit.ly/3oEvkK7), see if your idea and pitch can get a deal on ABCs hit show! [Here’s my pitch](https://bit.ly/3WE9Zgh) if you want to see an example of how it plays out. I’m hoping to see more stuff like this very soon, less prompt guides, and more interactive shared chat sessions! Adam May 29, 2023 at 01:30PM

Show HN: A CLI for quickly generating 3D device mockups https://bit.ly/3C08BLx

Show HN: A CLI for quickly generating 3D device mockups Device mockups usually require expensive and manual tools like Photoshop to generate. I was willing to sacrifice absolute quality for a tool that could do the job much faster. Mockupgen [0] generates a 3D perspective mockup from a screenshot. Using premade templates (from the amazing work of Anthony Boyd [1]) and opencv, it masks, warps and composites the provided image onto a device rendering. I'm working on expanding the selection of devices offered (mostly MacBook and iPhone at the moment), which is a matter of finding more sources of free to use PSD mockups. Currently, it doesn't do any handling of reflections and shadows, but this is in the works. Install with: pip install mockupgen And run with: mockupgen screenshot.png [0] https://bit.ly/3C5cHSs [1] https://bit.ly/3oyYKJw https://bit.ly/3C5cHSs May 28, 2023 at 08:36PM

Show HN: Open-Source Alternative to DocSend https://bit.ly/3qiURJ4

Show HN: Open-Source Alternative to DocSend hey hn, i’m alana, founder of basecase and creator of docbase https://bit.ly/3MEKMOr docbase is an open-source alternative to docsend, which lets you securely share documents and track engagement in real-time. with docbase, you can upload any document, get a secure link (with or without a password or expiration date), and view who interacts with it and when. one main use case is for founders to send their memos/decks to potential investors. as a founder and investor myself, it’s a tool i use all the time to both send and receive pitch documents. the idea came from a tweet [0], which immediately made me ping @kiwicopple with excitement. i raced to put together a very basic version 1.0 in a few days and launched it last night. luckily, it actually wasn’t too difficult using supabase for the database, authentication, and storage, next.js app router, shadcn ui [1], and vercel hosting. i’m already working on some updates for version 2.0, like improving page load performance, adding notifications, and enriching analytics. it’s entirely open-source [2], so anyone can contribute and help me make it better. i’d love your feedback, so hit me up on github or twitter with your thoughts!
