Show HN: Harvester, a local first media collection tool for sample based artistshttps://github.com/sxrvys/harvester

I make music that's entirely found sound/sample based. It occurred to me that on every social media site (particularly Instagram) I would have thousands of saved posts because of some sound or visual content that I thought I might like to sample someday. I made Harvester, a local-first Firefox extension for collecting source material for sampling, collage, VJing, editing, and research. Harvester natively preserves media from individual Instagram, Youtube, and Reddit posts as well as visible video and audio from other websites that expose ordinary audio or video. Harvester not only saves the o…

For the past few years i've been on Duolingo & was able to learn Hindi & Spanish (even helped me get state seal of biliteracy) One of the biggest problems that I see in my generation (Gen Z) is loneliness. I love Duolingo's community, but sometimes (well actually oftentimes), I felt myself struggling to come back. Online language learning is a skill where dominantly, the entire motivation is connection and the entire daily practice is solitude. Nobody learns Spanish to know Spanish. They learn it to talk to their partner's family, to not be the silent one at the table, to move somewhere and h…

Hi HN, I’m Lloyd, one of two founders of RonanRx. We are building a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company with software for prescribing, telehealth, compounding, manufacturing, and delivery. We are starting with GLP-1s and peptides. The path to RonanRx is fairly unconventional. During the pandemic, I built one of the largest mask manufacturing factories in the US. We could make a million masks in a day. We converted raw polypropylene pellets into finished pallets of masks.

The first one is dewlock; a swaylock fork, that looks similar to what you would get on GNOME, MacOS, or Windows, with a fraction of the resources. You can of course customize it, but you don't have to. I have a few more tools in the making, but I would like to start heari…
