I did the same switch (that reason along with the newer models seeming more "lazy" and needing constant prodding to finish long-horizon tasks) but my issue with ChatGPT/Codex now is that it too roundabout and doesn't get to the point. I tried adding instructions and using the personalization settings to make it more efficient but haven't seen much change. Claude seemed to follow settings more closely. Has anyone had any success to make ChatGPT more succinct?

Sharable, real-time synced maps, Google Docs for maps basically.
I think the coolest part is the import feature where you can paste a link to a video or article and it pulls out places and enriches them with images and a description. You can also write your own notes, vote on places to go with friends, and apply colors. Right now I am working on user acquisition and experimenting with different marketing approaches.
Show HN: Places - Google Docs for maps with auto-import from articles and videos
When I go on travels with friends I like to look up articles and videos with recommendations and put together a doc with all the places we want to go. While the doc is nice, it sucks to have to manually look them up on a map to figure out what is close to each other to see how to group them together for each day. When I used Google My Maps I found that it sucks for real-time collaboration....

I just wish their realtime audio pricing would go down but it looks like GPT-5 does not have support for that so we’re stuck with the old models.

Re:Show HN: I built website for sharing Drum Patterns
on Sunday March 23, 2025 @05:55PM (#43456210)
I believe you need to use the audio element specifically. The Web Audio API is subject to different restrictions than the audio element. I used a similar approach on Audjust: https://www.audjust.com/blog/unmute-web-audio-on-ios/
(nice site you created btw! I love seeing audio stuff for the web)

I think I know of some of the other MCP posts you’re referring to. I saw multiple posts recently about AI controlling browsers using MCP and thought that was interesting. I’m not sure if it will be a fad or not, but I’ve been trying to model browsers as an HTTP resource instead as a side project. This allows you to HTTP DELETE a tab or POST /browsers to create a new browser. I think it might be a more natural way of using an API plus it can just use the classic auth in the form of API keys.

I have been working on Audjust (https://www.audjust.com/) on and off in my spare time. It's a service to manipulate (shorten/lengthen/loop) audio for video editors and music producers.
I had a Show HN a while back that was well-received and kicked things off (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480687). Since launching I have changed the name and added paid accounts which have brought in enough money to cover costs and make some profit!

I agree, the German translation is pretty bad (phrases like "Hier ist, was sie über Quicklang.", "Es ist ein Durcheinander. Sie wissen Bescheid.", and "Du kannst all meine Programmierprojekte auf X" are incomplete or awkward).
It also doesn't sound like this can handle dynamic phrases like "buy {{count}} items"?

When I took a look at using DO last time I decided against using them because you had to pay for the duration your clients are connected to them when using WebSockets. As far as I understood it’s not execution duration but flat out how long your clients are connected. You’ll burn through seconds quickly that way. I decided to go with a polling mechanism instead.
Re:Ask HN: For those with a successful Show HN, what happened next?
on Thursday April 04, 2024 @10:09PM (#39938021)
I posted last year and reached #1 for a bit. The initial flood of users left, but my MAU is climbing bit by bit again after investing into SEO.
Profitable? Yes (as in making more than spending on it), but nowhere near enough to work on it full time. Successful? I think so? My first breakthrough project!
New connections? Yes, I got reached out to by some companies and individuals and had and still have conversations about it with folks interested in the tech. Also made me invest more into learning B2B after initially building the product as B2C.
Didn’t help with my career per se but opened a lot of doors in case something doesn’t work out with my current career.
Definitely a huge spike that I haven’t hit again. But the project isn’t dead.
Re:Telefunken Datenspeicher
on Saturday March 16, 2024 @11:58AM (#39727004)
Regarding documentation: my pet peeve is Google’s developer docs which default to showing docs in your account language with no way to change that. It would be fine if the translation was decent, but Google insists on using their awful machine translation and I would much rather just see the docs in English. But there’s no way to set that as the default as far as I could tell.

I've worked on something similar for a project of mine and used AWS Lambda which has been nice because it scales well and didn't cost me money while it wasn't running. The limit is 15 minutes which should be fine for something like this.
As others mentioned, I would go with a client-side approach if it works for you though.

The article mentions that Google "is suspected of making the device makers feature its search application and Google Chrome browser app by default and specifying where those apps should appear on the device screens in exchange for allowing them access to the "Google Play" app store"
Is there more information on this anywhere or are the requirements for Google Play certification confidential?
