Show HN: Traces: A new way to share and discover agent traces

https://www.traces.com

Traces is a new way to share and discover agent traces. You can setup a personal or team account, and share publicly or privately (in a team).We use Traces internally to capture and share our agent conversations. Every PR has a Traces link attached to it. We even have skills that can automate that for you (run 'traces setup' after install).You might ask:1) Why would I share traces? Well, we...

Hi HN! I'm building a discovery platform for open source ecosystems at https://ecosystems.gitwallet.co.

Right now this is a way to get a better understanding of open source ecosystems, see what's popular, up and coming, and browse related projects. There is a LOT of work to be done but I thought I'd share the work in progress here.

What kinds of other features do you think you'd like to see in a discovery platform around open source? What is highly fragmented or hard to find?

Re:Why are people paying so much for Vercel? on Monday July 22, 2024 @05:47PM (#41040166)
Vercel did a great job on onboarding for more junior developers, and its a great place to start a project.

- Near instant Git deploys with links for each deployment

- Really easy to setup templates with "Deploy with Vercel" deeplinks

- Easy to setup web framework that works seamlessly with the platform

- All the add you need as your app grows (and yes, some you probably don't)

Once you're on its a pain to switch so its easy to stay on, so that's why so many people just continue.

If you liked Rails convention over configuration, you will likely appreciate Vercel. The only issue IMO is the full stack JS/TS approach. The JS ecosystem can be, let's just say, tough to navigate sometimes :)

Re:Ask HN: How to Find Clients as a Consultancy? on Monday July 22, 2024 @04:54PM (#41039698)
What kind of consultancy are you building?

One easy route is to write blog posts! People who share their knowledge and then provide a CTA for their consulting services often stand out.

If you’re focused on a specific stack then doing research on the dependents of open source projects can also be a great way to find leads. The most successful have a distinguished product or service if you’re doing outreach (eg performance, security, database optimization etc).

Full disclosure I’m building Gitwallet.co which is a platform for open source software consulting businesses.

Hi HN! I just built a little GPT4 powered app called Detour - an app to play horror/suspense "chat stories". In a traditional chat story, you just tap through and read messages - but in Detour, we allow you to change a message, and an AI generates a whole new ending for a story.

You can also "continue" a story once you've reached the end, so in a sense this is a never ending story ;)

You can also see other people's endings created in the app (just tap on a message).

I think its really interesting to see LLM's play a role in the creative process. We believe a chat story is a good use case for this because it's essentially a script, which serves as the starting point for any movie or TV production. As AI generation tools get better every day, we think this can go in a lot of cool directions.

There's lots of work to do still but it's halloween so I thought I'd just share it.

Looking forward to any feedback on the app - including for story ideas if horror/suspense is your thing.

Show HN: Fresco.lol: Create AI Art with friends

https://www.fresco.lol/

I wanted to show my kids all the cool stuff you can do with AI these days, so I made a little prompting game tied to Stable Diffusion. You can play in single player mode, or invite upto 2 friends and "build a prompt" together. I thought HN might be a cool place to share it - would love your ideas on how we can make the experience and gameplay better. Still a lot of work to do but wanted to...

I'm developing a tool to help people keep their attention especially when reading longer pages. I've tried all the note taking and Read-it-later tools, but haven't really found one that works to keep my attention in a fun way, so I'm building one myself. The tool uses the power of transcription and elements of game theory.

I'm looking for a group of 10-20 early users - if you're interested, I'd love to hear from you.

Ask HN: How does your company support your learning and development?

I’m curious to hear how some companies differ in how they think about employee learning and development.
