This was what I had available, but adding support for other models/providers should be trivial. Adding support for local models is probably a bit harder and I don't have any experience with it. I doubt anything good enough will run on my macbook m1 though.

Doesn't work perfect yet [1], probably needs some finetuning to get the bounding boxes correctly. Sorry for ripping it!

Here's an example [0] I'll add it to the readme as well together with some example output.

I'd love to. I'm 40+, never played an instrument in my life or did anything with music. I tried several approaches to improve my ability to recognize chords by ear or even individual notes, but it is incredibly hard for me to the point it feels impossible even for a couple of notes.

Yes, for sure. You could probably train a specific vision model for this style of image parsing and run it on device for free. However, this was much easer to make :-)
Re:Show HN: YouTube Guitar Tab Parser on Monday July 13, 2026 @04:35PM (#48898453)
I had exactly the same issue. I'm learning to play guitar and don't want to pay 8,50 per tab. I simply want to learn something new and discard it. I noticed I'm learning faster if it's printed then on-screen.
Re:Show HN: YouTube Guitar Tab Parser on Monday July 13, 2026 @04:34PM (#48898435)
It wouldn't work for that type of video. As far as I've seen almost all tutorial videos on Youtube have a fixed tab bar though. I'm using it only for learning guitar (i'm a beginner).

I created a simple CLI that turns a YouTube guitar-lesson video into a PDF of the guitar tab.There are services that transcribe music from Youtube videos into tabs, but they never work well enough for me. Instead I'm taking a simpler approach. It downloads the video, samples frames, uses Claude vision to locate the tab region, crops every frame to that region, de-duplicates the crops by the...

Looks cool. However, for me in Firefox the dragging of elements from the left bar to the canvas doesn't work. It works fine in Chrome.
Thank you, this looks interesting.
That's a good point, I usually try to teach others to understand my reasoning, so I'll definitely try this approach and see how it goes.

Ask HN: How to learn to create/draw mental models for programming?

I've been programming all my life and creating drawings/diagrams of anything comes very natural to me. While this happens all the time in my head, I still grab a pen and paper sometimes when the mental overhead becomes too much. Currently, I'm struggling with a junior colleague. He comes from a different background (sales). Adjusting existing code, fixing and improving features is not a...

You can upload it to peecho.com, according to their website printing and shipping would be about 50USD in full color. So setting the same 55USD as Amazon would give you a 5USD profit (instead of the 77cents).

Any data to back that up? I've lived all my live in Amsterdam and this is the first time I've heard of this. It sounds made up.

Re:Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX on Tuesday September 27, 2016 @05:02AM (#12588235)
They aggregate volume to leverage big printing facilities, so the products you get are really high quality. (I've worked for them a couple of years ago).
Re:Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX on Tuesday September 27, 2016 @04:26AM (#12588131)
By the way, this is if you want to sell books through their API's. If you just want to order something for yourself they have a separate service where you can upload & buy: http://www.simpleprintservice.com/
Re:Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX on Tuesday September 27, 2016 @04:19AM (#12588117)
Take a look at peecho.com, they ship worldwide, are cheaper and don't require you to make it PDF/X-3 compatible.
Re:Static Website Generators on Monday September 19, 2016 @03:32AM (#12529606)
We are running a React based static site using https://instant.cm for content management. Works like a charm and Instant basically works on every static site.
Re:Show HN: Instant – Optimizely for CMS on Monday August 29, 2016 @04:05AM (#12380653)
It is basically a WYSIWYG editor on steroids, where it is automatically installed on all your texts and images. Any change gets persisted through our service and shown to your visitors on the fly.
Re:Show HN: Instant – Optimizely for CMS on Monday August 29, 2016 @04:03AM (#12380647)
It is 'Optimizely for CMS', because it works like Optimizely but in a different space (cms).

Like Optimizely, we enrich your website with new functionality, but instead of adding a/b testing, we add content management.

Re:Show HN: Instant – Optimizely for CMS on Monday August 29, 2016 @03:46AM (#12380602)
Instant is a new kind of CMS that just plugs in into your existing website - regardless of what technology is used to built this website. It adds content management to any website - in under 30 seconds. Let marketeers/content managers make changes directly on the website without the help of a developer.

Any feedback/ideas/questions are greatly appreciated!

Re:The Problem with Reality on Wednesday July 06, 2016 @04:16PM (#12045586)
This, and the fact that you cannot focus into the distance. In real life most of your view is blurred except the part you are focussing on. In VR it still just looks flat, because if you focus on something in the distance, nothing happens.
