Show HN: I built an AI personal diary inspired by Harry Potter [video]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/elNtTJnl86k

Hi HN,I spent the last few weeks building an AI diary inspired by Tom Riddle’s diary from Harry Potter. You write and an AI responds in cursive handwriting, just like the movie.I used an ESP32 and a TFT Touchscreen display, and 3D printed the case, basilisk fang, and corners.Finding a font for the AI response was tricky. Since I wanted the response to look as if it was handwritten, I needed to...

Started this a few days ago, so not much activity on it just yet.

Agreed, working on adding all of these

Haven't seen anything personally that's as intuitive / easy to use as this one, but I'm biased

I'm not on Linux but if others want to contribute / are very interested we can definitely make that happen!

Have not heard of that, but is it similar to the Solid project / other personal data warehouse projects?

This hasn't happened for any of my accounts and I've been working on this for the last few months.

Show HN: Surfer Protocol – Export and build applications with your personal data

https://docs.surferprotocol.org/

Hey everyone, we built a local-first, open-source framework to allows you to export and build applications with your personal data.This August, we built a digital footprint exporter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41325719) that allowed people to get back their personal data, but there was no way to interact with it. So we added a python package, improved the reliability of the exporting,...

Building something for this at surferprotocol [dot] org. Imo not every company will expose API's for easily exporting data from their platforms (linkedin, imessage, etc), so devs have to build these themselves
Re:Introducing The Model Context Protocol on Monday November 25, 2024 @12:10PM (#42237956)
Super cool and much needed open-standard. Wondering how this will work for websites/platforms that don't have exposed API's (LinkedIn, for example)
Hey, would love to see a visualization of this / how you made it :)
agreed. curious to hear what other sites/apps you would want to be able to export your data from.
thanks for the feedback, added the list of supported platforms and example of exported data as well to the readme. we're focusing mostly on the exporting part, so examples of what can be done with the data will come later.
3rd party would only have read access, I'm assuming? Also would love to try out the extension.
The second one sounds something similar to the Solid project, which is what Tim Berners-Lee is currently working on: https://solidproject.org/.
Yeah it was honestly more of a marketing statement lol, but removing it for sure. Adding daily/interval exporting is one of our top priorities right now and after that and making the scraping more reliable, we'll add something similar to GraphRAG. Curious to hear what other integrations you would want built into this system.
Oh, interesting will look more into this.
