Show HN: I made a PWA that serves as a throwaway push notification inbox

https://pwainbox.com/PoqoVtxOtff13M

This tool began as an experiment to try and understand the capabilities of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).Visiting the link below generates and takes you to a personalized inbox to which you can POST content from any source. It includes instructions for “installation” on mobile devices so as to benefit from push notifications (which, from a web app, will be a novelty for some, particularly those...

I get that the whole "co-authored by Claude" thing is supposed to be future-facing. But it's a bit cringe, for want of a better word.

https://www.weekinpapers.com/

Hello,I built weekinpapers.com to address what I saw as a "discoverability" problem for arXiv papers in Computer Science.As the course of the calendar week progresses, the homepage will update to show newly-published papers as they come in. The process will start again the following week.Each entry features a AI-generated "ELI5" summary, in an attempt to demystify, and make explicit, any...

Re:[BUG] Claude says "You're absolutely right!" about everything on Wednesday August 13, 2025 @07:46AM (#44887291)
GPT-5 has used the phrase "heck yes!" a handful of times to me so far. I quite enjoy the enthusiasm but its not a phrase you hear very often.

Perhaps some package authors are more accepting of this than others. I stumbled upon this comment in the `json` package the other day:

// isValidNumber reports whether s is a valid JSON number literal. // // isValidNumber should be an internal detail, // but widely used packages access it using linkname. // Notable members of the hall of shame include: // - github.com/bytedance/sonic

Happy new years you crazy people. Hear’s to many failed ideas, to many outrageous schemes, to many goals gone amiss. I love you lot xx

Show HN: Create-multi-lib – Write UI code once, compile to multiple frameworks

https://twitter.com/Matt0xley/status/1705545672676585830

Mitosis (https://github.com/BuilderIO/mitosis) is a fantastic project, but is still in its early stages, and in need of some build tooling. It allows you to "write once, run everywhere" in the sense that you can write a UI component and have it compiled to a React component for use in a React project, a Svelte component for use in a Svelte project, and so on. It does not, however, support...

This is great.

One thing that could be improved: sometimes when the AI gives a "fill in the missing word" task i.e a sentence with a "______" in it, the text-to-speech literally says out loud "underscore, underscore, underscore..."

Show HN: iOS Safari web push notifications demo

https://webpushtest.com/

iOS launched web push notifications a month ago with 16.5, but there has been a surprising lack of examples to try out. We built [WebPushTest.com](https://WebPushTest.com) and made the code open source so more web devs can try it out and share it with their coworkers.It used to be the case that an iPhone app needed to be “native” and downloaded from the App Store to utilize push notifications,...

Show HN: SpacySee – a dependency parsing explorer for Jupyter notebooks

from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/moxley01/spacysee

I use Spacy quite a lot these days, but often find it quite hard to figure out what the various outputs mean. For example, what is an "advmod"? What does "adpType=Prep" mean?This is a PyPi package that can be used to visualize a Spacy document. You can scroll up and down to see details and tags for each token. Each attribute is clickable and brings you to the relevant docs for that Spacy...

https://www.getcorrecto.com/nlp/en/0/0

As a frequent user of the Spacy library for NLP (https://spacy.io/), I noticed that it was quite difficult sometimes to know what the various POS tags, dependency labels, and morphological features actually mean. Especially difficult since the different models (e.g. en_core_web_sm) often use different labelling schema.I built this tool to help people get a feel for Spacy dependency parsing....

Hey HN,Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door.I wanted to make it easy to:- pick an artistic style- hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have...

This is really great and well executed. Well done!

One problem I'm beginning to notice is that the connection to the realtime transcription is failing (I just see a loading screen when I click to reply). Maybe it's due to heavy load?

I notice you are using Azure Cognitive Services for the transcription at the moment. Out of curiosity, did you consider any other services for this? (I'm building a transcription-based app myself and I'm worrying about the ability to handle lots of connections at once)

Re:When should I post about my startup to Hacker News' “Show HN” page? on Monday August 15, 2022 @01:45PM (#32472878)
Yeah, it's a good point, there's no ruling that out, although the cycles would need some explaining

I noticed that if you plot just the counts of submissions each hour, it shows a very clear cyclic pattern, but _slightly_offset_ in time from the scores data

So the peaks in submission scores tend to coincide with the point at which submissions-per-hour are really beginning to accelerate for that day

Show HN: Wordle but for Tweets

https://www.birdle.art/

Hey HNI built this simple app that grabs four popular tweets from the last 24 hours and removes a word from each, so that the missing words spell out a phrase. It's the player's job to guess the missing words.A key motive for building this was that, to be honest, I was finding much of the news and social media dialogue quite depressing. I thought that if a wholesome or inspirational phrase can...

Re:Show HN: Birdle – an uplifting Wordle derivative based on viral tweets on Thursday August 04, 2022 @05:04AM (#32340755)
thanks a lot! yeah I thought about that - it is a bit of a challenge on mobile to fit everything in with the lack of real-estate. I will keep that feedback in mind :)
