Show HN: A 'what you see is what you get' HTML editor for Mac

https://htmledit.io/

My workflow has improved a lot by outputting AI tasks into html files. But html files are then annoying to edit to get them right. You end up prompting claude / codex just to change one sentence or word.So I made this simple WYSIWYG editor for the mac. Everything just stored locally. It helps me a tonne. Interested if this solves a pain for others too!

Show HN: Instantly Create and Engage in AI-Generated Debates

https://www.debdeb.io/

In my work in EdTech, I see AI enhancing efficiency — speeding up grading or generating lesson plans. While useful, these applications don't fundamentally change how we learn.To explore new possibilities, I've hacked together debdeb.io.It allows users to create debates on any topic and immediately access both sides in text and audio formats. You can vote on debates and, if you sign-in, see what...

Show HN: eInk Shelf That Displays Your Digital Books (Pi and Python)

Simple MVP for using Raspberry Pi and Inky to make a screen to show your Kindle / Digital books.At the moment, it just kicks off a cycle of images downloaded onto the Pi. Next, I want to automate this via an API.The code is simple and generic - not doing much extra here! https://github.com/rtilleard/inkybookcaseInterested if folks want their own (with proper industrial design)...

Good question - currently it is just hooked into the OpenAI API. I think it actually performs generally well for its purposes but to make it get more traction I would have to consider fine-tuning or prompt engineering further

The limitations are mostly that the questions and flashcards can veer into being generic - I've still found them useful in my own dogfooding though...

Will take a look!
Do you have an example? It is set-up just for yt at the moment - would need to dive deeper into API documentation to see what else we could cook
Hi - could you explain more? If you look at the site - the videos are embedded on the page so should still generate the same revenue -> https://asterlab.io/
My own pocket at the moment. Very happy for folks to try and use it as a tool. If it becomes a problem - hopefully the community will contribute. What do you think?

Show HN: Turn any YouTube video into a summary, quiz, & flashcards

https://asterlab.io/

YouTube is the greatest learning resource in the world. Yet it doesn't provide any tools to help you learn from videos.I built a simple app that turns YouTube videos into structured learning material using AI. It generates a summary, quiz and flashcards from video content, meaning you can learn from anything (well, at least any YouTube video).Try it out. Would be happy to keep building features...
