News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

yeah, it's very fast. Personally I usually spend about 10-15 minutes with it when I get an idea before I have something coherent, so it varies a bit, depending on how much you want to tweak it.

Show HN: I built a camera that you talk with instead of seeing your own face

https://www.makiroll.app

I used to hate recording myself, but at the same time I also wanted to post more video i.e. on X.My usual experience was: Get an idea -> reluctantly hit record -> become self-aware, stumble, do 8 takes -> give up.So I tried changing the camera instead.MakiRoll doesn't show you your face while you're recording.You give it a rough topic and it asks you questions, or lets you ramble.Those...

I'm working on https://www.root-dir.com - a command-line community with public profiles and an IRC style chat.

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.

I've created an AI-assisted writing platform, that doesn't generate text, but instead lends focus to human creativity, and have AI assist you instead of trying to replace you.

https://www.arcitext.com

You create a writing style via existing text examples, blog posts or URLs, and Arcitext extracts a "writing fingerprint" which it benchmarks new text against.

It's time to put an end AI generated copy. It's had its time, and everyone is developing a nose for identifying when a robot did the heavy lifting.Arcitext is different.It assists you in writing creatively, by analyzing your existing content and extract a "writing fingerprint".The writing fingerprint is used as a benchmark, along with relevant context for whatever you're writing, to give you...
