After months of tinkering, I'm sharing Synapse: a free, open source notes app for macOS that opens any folder of markdown files, git-backed, with a built-in Claude Code-ready terminal
Genuinely useful for me to collaborate with others on commands, skills, agent instructions, etc, without all of the fiddly Git friction and BS. Just spin up a workspace, give people the invite link, evolve it, and export at the end. We can then maintain a source-of-truth around these docs and improve them over time.
Annoyed with paid services that charge you to bring your own API key (getvoila.ai), I partnered with Claude Code and made my own and open sourced it. Enjoy!

A "bring your own key" Firefox extension that provides quick access to LLM assistants (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) via a keyboard shortcut, with full page context.

Features:

- Quick access: Press `Ctrl+J` to open the assistant overlay on any webpage

- Multiple providers: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini

- Page context: Use `@page` in your prompt to include the current page's content

- Markdown rendering: Responses are rendered with full markdown support (code blocks, lists, etc.)

- Session memory: Conversations persist within a session (cleared when you close the popup)

- Streaming responses: See responses as they're generated in real-time

Are AI coding tools fundamentally changing Agile/team software development?

I'm an engineering lead wrestling with some fundamental questions about how AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.) should change... or not change... how we build software as a team, and I'd love the community's perspective.The Core Tension:We're facing pressure to adopt a more "startup-like" approach: bigger PRs, fewer tickets, individual engineers taking on massive chunks of work solo...

https://aidiary.us/

Totally free while I work on the beta. Very simple concept: Journal daily and get insights on what you write.Each morning you'll get insights on what you wrote yesterday, as well as what you should apply to today based on what you wrote.Also, generated weekly, are ongoing statistics across _all_ of your previous journal entries.Hope you like this little labor of love.

Show HN: I'm building a platform for the sharing art you love

https://bursts.us/

So I made a website that enables people to share the art they create or like. I made it because this is what I'm passionate about. I made Bursts to be something clean, simple, and nimble.So you create an account and share stuff you like. That's it. You can follow people if you like their stuff, then on the homepage you get a chronological feed showing the images from everyone you follow. You...

"Sometimes I get really anxious about not knowing about some of my gamer friends outcomes. Some people just fall off and you hope the best but like... Whose mom is letting their Xbox friends know about Timmy y'know?"

This inspired me to start building Little Planets. It's a way to spin up your own hyper-local, hyper-focused social network with a single click. No fuss, no accounts required from anyone. I'm super excited about it. Just launching the beta today.

Taskmaster!?
This is as bad as it'll ever be though.

I imagine eventually your phone will be also able to do these spatial video recordings so the functionally on the headset will fade into the background as a fringe use for passively capturing something while you happened to have the headset on (and enjoying the spatial videos you captured with your phone)

Damn.

Can you elaborate on the changes to GPT-4 you've noticed specifically?

I really want this option too. The dev mode hack works but it's not very pretty in the least.

Re:Simple Script Integrates Hubot with OpenAI's GPT API on Friday April 14, 2023 @01:54PM (#35572507)
I couldn't find this myself, so whipped up a quick version this morning. If you're familiar with Hubot, you should be able to add this into your scripts pretty easily. If you haven't played with Hubot before, it's quick and easy to get going.

Are there any Android launchers out there that water the OS down to the basics? A launcher to kinda simulate what https://www.blloc.com/ and https://www.thelightphone.com/ are doing would be cool.

  all your profile are belong to us.
You had me until this.
