The first release will be a map of median rent per square meter. Simple stuff.
There is also a way to search for articles using vectors, it's called "Semantic Search". So basically you can ask, for example, "Postgresql and how to best optimize it." and it would search for articles touching that subject, or at least related to it.
Wondering about the best way I can add a weekly newsletter built on top of the content currently being ingested, and still looking for more sources to add to the database (let me know if you have any good recommendations).
Probably very few creators care one way or another, as the links are going to the original content. Just interested if people had an opinion on the matter.
I try to avoid altering the original content as much as possible. I do need to sanitize and adjust parts of it to produce clean text on my site, but I’m careful not to change anything in a way that misrepresents the source. Only a few short phrases appear on GreatReads, and users cannot read the full article without visiting the original source.
I use semantic search ocasionally when building extra editions and use a sentence transformer with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model.
How did you go about implementing semantic search in your app?
Attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crappy HTML skills.
Currently spending time establishing relationships with historical societies, as I really need them to contribute points of interest, and stories. Many of these societies are run on a voluntary basis by 70+ year olds, so it's a long process. Getting some good responses eventually though, so it might actually go somewhere, just a lot slower than I want.
Also still doing https://wheretodrink.beer, but haven't added anything of note since playing on this other project.
And react2shell was a fun time
Every week I pull all the new talk recordings from hundreds of conferences (Devoxx, KubeCon, PyCon, QCon, LeadDev, JSNation, and many more) and even more podcasts podcasts. I feature the ones I think are must-watch with short summaries written by me, then include a list of everything else uploaded that week.
It started as a personal project to fix my own messy YT subscriptions and RSS feeds and now 7,500+ people read it.
I also publish extra editions from time to time like “The Most Watched Talks of 2024” which made it to the HN front page.
If you watch software engineering conference talks or listen to podcasts, you might find it useful. I’d love to know what you think!
I want something different than Reddit or HackerNews. Something that can't be gamed by flawed metrics or AI. There are some ideas for a different way to rank comments.
Edit: I wonder why this HN thread doesn't get lots of comments, why a similar thread from a week ago also didn't get lots of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118229 but a thread posted specifically by https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=david927 gets hundrerds to thousands of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45869146
The infrastructure runs entirely on Google Cloud Run. This makes it super easy to spin up instances in regions close to the customer, ensuring we keep latency under 20ms regardless of where the traffic originates.
How it works: Instead of just static geo-data, I aggregate live threat feeds and behavioral signals to score IPs in real-time. It returns a simple JSON response with flags like is_vpn, is_proxy, is_tor, and a risk score.
Tech Stack:
Go and Redis for the low-latency API.
Google Cloud Run for instant global scaling.
Ingesting data from multiple open and private threat feeds continuously.
It has a free tier if anyone wants to test it against their current logs. I’d love feedback on how to improve it further.
I am currently working on fifth grade math. My plan is to cover first grade math up to Calculus and High School Physics. I envision it as a companion tool for Khan Academy/Math Class/Math Books. It is inspired by Chris McMullen's math workbooks.

The idea of turning this into a simulation game is a possibility hence "warz" in the name.
It is a bunch of Jupyter notebooks being served by Voila. The "Blank.ipynb" one is more interactive but the ergonomics need work.
It is running free tier hosting so it could swamped if enough people use it simultaneously:

There are instructions to run locally via Docker in the README.md
You can't use this without having at least basic knowledge of the command-line.
Currently in closed beta, but sending out new batches of invites frequently.
We aim to provide a fast JIT ssh cert attestation.
With focus on: * making on/offboard users fast * efficient workflows (no need to lookup passwords for logins or sudo) * mitigate private key leaks (especially in BYOD/BYOK environments) * Help admins manage server access fast

And thanks for checking us out :)
I wonder if you could do some automated diffing between the scenario results. If they are pretty similar and they were previously considered in a good state, then you don't necessarily need a QA person to review it.
You can fight monsters, craft, and conjure magic by playing real notes on your actual guitar. Web Browser Audio API handles pitch detection.
Basically, trying to make guitar practice a bit more fun by adding gamification.

This allows library authors to do more, like defining webhook handlers and (simple) database operations. The idea is to move complexity from the user to the author, making integrations easier.
I think libraries being allowed to write to your database is a pretty powerful concept, and can enable a number of interesting use cases.
I called it Wosp for word-oriented search and print. See the GitHub page for more information: https://github.com/atrettel/wosp

I'm building on an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.
Gotten some feedback from HN already and now fixing things – basically rewriting the engine for the 4th time.
Hoping to add some hundred games more soon!
1. I don't like how if I already place an Ace and then reveal a 2 that matches it suit, it then automatically moves it over. While mostly trivial, it still takes a way one move from the player and automates it.
2. Would you be willing to expose the value that seeds the game? That way any particular game of solitaire is replayable or sharable with a friend.
