News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Just to follow-up, I added a basic implementation of bulk uploading (although it's temporarily limited to a small number of uploads until scalability has been given a bit more thought).
Thanks for the feedback!

I'm working on the bulk import as we speak, and it should be ready in an hour or so.

On tagging, do you mean that you would want to define a list of allowed tags that the AI can select from?

Good point, I had planned to add a Mullvad-esque process where you just generate an account number, but didn't want to delay the launch!

If it's any consolation, you don't need to verify your email, so you can just make one up to try it out.

Hey HN, I spent the past few days buiding Laterbase, a (free) AI-powered bookmark manager that enables you to save, search, and chat with your bookmarks.

It's pretty hacky, but would appreciate any feedback!

RIP. I loved reading about Kevin whilst growing up.

Ask HN: How do I get users for things I build?

I've made a bunch of tools that provide value in some way or another (at least to myself). However, I've never dedicated real effort towards gaining a large number of users. For me, a 'launch' typically just involves running through a small checklist of things that feel somewhat spammy (posting on hacker news/product hunt/discord, and running a few twitter/reddit ads).The small group of users...

Re:Show HN: Generate your YC application with GPT-4 on Monday July 10, 2023 @02:20PM (#36670726)
Thanks a lot!

> Does it need our own OpenAI API key to run this or it doesn't need that?

You don't need an OpenAI API key.

> How long are you planning to offer the lifetime offer? If I invest in lifetime plan, is it sustainable enough to run at least for 2 years even if you are not able to sell it more or produce MRR ?

Whilst I'm considering a switch to a subscription model, I will of course honour previously purchased lifetime licenses forever. When you buy a lifetime license, you are also sent a compiled version of the app that you can run locally on your own machine, using your own OpenAI API key, so there's no risk to you even if PitchPal ends up not being sustainable.

> Also, how can I contact you if I want to promote this via our platform? Do you have any active affiliate program for promotion?

You can contact me at [email protected] - shoot me an email re: the affiliate program as it's not something I've considered!

Re:Show HN: Generate your YC application with GPT-4 on Monday July 10, 2023 @03:25AM (#36663100)
No, I don't store or read your data. State is managed using your browser's local storage. The caveat being that the tool uses GPT-4, so your data will be sent to OpenAI via an AWS Lambda function.

However, upon purchasing PitchPal you will also be emailed a compiled version of the app that you can run on your local machine, using your own OpenAI API key.

Re:Show HN: Generate your YC application with GPT-4 on Sunday July 09, 2023 @10:14AM (#36654596)
That's not something I've considered, but love the idea!

Initial assumption is that there could be a ton of overlap (e.g. select a research area + provide a brief description of your hypothesis/planned experiments to generate the application).

Are there any nuances / complexities I'm missing? What do you find to be the most time consuming part about writing these applications?

Re:Show HN: Generate your YC application with GPT-4 on Sunday July 09, 2023 @09:28AM (#36654296)
Hey HN, just sharing a tool I made over a long weekend to help founders generate completed applications for popular funds like YC, Seedcamp, etc.

Just enter the name of your startup, along with a brief description of the service + founders, and it will use GPT-4 to create an application that takes into account the requirements of your chosen accelerator.

Re:Show HN: An annotation tool for ML and NLP on Wednesday May 17, 2023 @06:15PM (#35981944)
Yes, I built Markup alongside clinicians within the NHS (they would provide feedback, feature requests, etc.). However, they use a locally hosted version with a standalone sequence-to-sequence model I trained on medical entities; they don't send patient data to third parties.

You can check out some of the clinicians using Markup (+ published papers) in the comment section of my PH release, https://www.producthunt.com/posts/markup-document-annotation

Re:Show HN: An annotation tool for ML and NLP on Monday May 15, 2023 @03:37PM (#35953385)
Hey HN! I'm super excited to share Markup with you, which is a totally free & open-source annotation tool that helps you transform unstructured text (e.g. news articles) into structured data that you can use for building, training, or fine-tuning ML models!

Markup uses GPT-4 to learn as you annotate, and speed up the process by predicting complex entities and attributes!

Ask HN: Why don't you live with your coworkers?

After having switched companies ~6 months ago, I was dead-set on living with coworkers as I think it helps to form stronger connections, and can be convenient when commuting to the same office, gym, etc. However, I found it way trickier than expected to find compatible roommates as I didn't know anyone at the company.My friend and I recently started building a platform to try and address this...

Hey - glad you spotted the thread! RE: your suggestions:

1. Good idea, will be sure to include this in the next release.

2. Sorry to hear that, I've had a few messages about false positives now, and have pushed a temporary fix (https://github.com/samueldobbie/remarkable-extension/pull/4) which causes false negatives instead. I'm thinking the best approach is to mark them in-place as you suggest, with an option to move them to the trash after they've been marked.

3. I'm currently exploring this exact concept! Hopefully, it will update them in the background & enable you to choose a default favicon for pages without one. Definitely seems possible.

Re:Show HN: Keep your bookmarks clean and up-to-date on Thursday February 24, 2022 @08:20AM (#30454299)
Not yet, although I recently made the switch from Linux to macOS, so Safari support is likely to be on the roadmap!
Re:Show HN: Keep your bookmarks clean and up-to-date on Thursday February 24, 2022 @08:11AM (#30454216)
To be honest I haven't tested it on anywhere near that quantity of bookmarks, so I'm not entirely sure how well it'd perform.

My suggestion would be to either wait for the extension to mature a little bit before testing it, or to export your bookmarks first so you have a backup. The extension itself is non-destructive in that it won't delete your bookmarks, but there may well be undiscovered bugs that could mess up your current organization of bookmarks, etc.

Super cool, love it. Is it possible to make a version that plugs into the back of my head?
Re:Show HN: Keep your bookmarks clean and up-to-date on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @06:13AM (#30439925)
Good catch, added an MIT license.

The easiest way would be to join this newsletter https://creative-knitter-9009.ck.page/66aa398945 (excuse the domain, just put it together now).

Alternatively, you could subscribe to this issue https://github.com/samueldobbie/remarkable-extension/issues/...

Hadn't really considered bookmark renaming, thanks for the suggestion :)
