Hey HN, I want to share what I’ve already done. Two months ago, I already sent the repository for review, but the project was still in its early stages. During this time, I’ve implemented registration, the project submission flow, and, most importantly for me, I’ve created the embed editor. What I’d like to note is that the most challenging part for me was creating a rating and view system. I understand how to implement views and ratings in WordPress, but this was my first time doing it with Next.js. It was also harder to set up Cron to update the data from GitHub for the project. Wel…

I built this with Claude to trim, loop and patch a lot of short clips quickly. I'm new to video editing, and every tool people recommended needed an install and was built around editing one video at a time. So I made a basic browser version, free and no sign-up, and kept adding small things as I needed them: a loop finder (it searches the clip for the frame that best matches your in point), tilt, colour, patching, cropping, rotating, removing audio, and a batch export. Funnily enough there's no AI in the editor itself. I know that's the hype in video right now, but every test I did with AI ed…

Hi HN! I built this to make unblocking apps on your phone a lot harder. You add a physical key, then put it out of reach or give it to a friend, so unblocking becomes a real hassle. I started out wanting to build software around hardware security keys. My thinking was that they belong in high stakes moments, where proving it's really you matters the most. One of those scenarios is gambling/unblocking apps on your phone. A hardware key is a physical thing you have to go find, plug in, and tap. That makes it a good fit for moments where the user isn't 100% sure they want to unblock something. G…

I am always working well past the normal work hours. Sometimes even past midnight. Then one day I thought, what if I could have something to keep me accountable for doing this? So I built a small app that will call me out when I break my downtime. You set a Curfew in the app (Curfew must start between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM). If a dev app (editor, terminal, etc.) is used on your computer after the set curfew, a countdown starts. If you close the app before the timer runs out, you are safe. If you keep working, you get "caught". Your streak is now broken, and you will be posted on the Wall, on t…

Abstract: AI agents pose significant risks as they are granted increasing autonomy. A commonly proposed solution is human oversight and keeping a ''human in the loop'', but this is not a simple solution: Not only do current approaches to AI agent design impede effective human oversight, but the cognitive capacities required for it are also themselves degraded by extended use of AI systems. This position paper argues that current approaches to the development and deployment of AI agent systems do not support effective human oversight -- they contribute to its degradation. To address this, a to…

Deepseek generated Blender harness in 7USD. I wanted to remake my 6DoF spaceship flying prototype. What I did not want to do was model the spaceship. Manually. In Blender.

I type a sentence. The model writes Python, and it runs against my actual scene, the file open on screen, not a copy that some other process has to keep in sync.

Malbolge was the first programming language I ever tried. Cocytus is my tribute to it (with engineering inside). It was named after 9th circle of Dante’s Hell, and its 4 zones are semantics, i.e in Judecca every memory address has an access budget and when it runs out, its freezes. Also the compiler is made in Cocytus and compiles itself until output is byte to byte identical across 3 stages. Generally useless in purpose. Happy to answer your questions!
