I yearn for internal memos because they reveal the first-person craft, my reading list just got reshuffled!

My workspace tool (https://caspian.md/app) that i used on a day to day basis for my daily workflows sets up an automated backup daily for all my workflows.

That's a fun thing you did there!

I meant comments in this post.

Got it! So it's like a private "netflix", right? What's the target niche users for it? Just curious.

Rading most comments, people don't seem to be very impressed by it, I ain't either tbh - its not something mind-blowing (I have been doing this with Astra myself just by writing better prompts to make explainer interactive interfaces), but I do think its a good first step towards a better way of consuming information/answers than just reading text-vomits. I wonder if there is a way to train an LLM native to this kind of thing?

Hey this is very detailed and specifically purpose built. Where do I get Android & Google TV client apps for this? Its not clear in the website (or maybe I am going blind lol)
Nice concept; this is genuinely useful, though I think it could be a local add-on rather than a 3rd party bridge?

This is cool, why does it end at 2000 though?
For solopreneurs and indie hackers who are doing multiple simultaneous projects.

You're right that its a lot of solutions packed into one. I built it originally to solve multiple problems I was facing with vibe coding, the biggest one of all was organising projects scattered around. Think of it as standardizing your code base and bringing it all into one place.

All the best!
Re:Ask HN: How are you getting inference for personal projects? on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @02:15AM (#49888935)
I am using a tool I built which gives me a pre-flight estimate about token usage for different models, for a given task. It looks like this https://caspian.md/assets/feature-4-ai-models.mp4

Hi! I am Hussain and I built Caspian.For someone who vibe builds almost all the time, for both personal tools like investment or health dashboards or tools to help others, I found my projects scattered all over the place: researching with claude, writing context in notion, building with Claude Code, Devin, publishing in vercel, posthog for analytics and then others tools for GTM. Big part of...

Just a suggestion, recently OpenBB has shutdown (and open sourced their codebase) and its users are probably looking for alternative solutions who are not self-managing it, worth reaching out to them.
Re:Picking a domain name is hard on Friday September 25, 2026 @01:25AM (#49840472)
Getting a good .com is extremely hard. I find most of these .coms are available but are bought to be resold at high prices (in tens of thousands of dollars). Most people just go with .co or .ai or something like that, until they are big enough to buy a .com of the same name.
Oh this is useful!
Re:Show HN: Radius – A Meetup.com Alternative on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @03:33AM (#49797779)
Agreed. There was book called The Cold Start Problem on this by Andrew Chen.
This is going to be a hot use case.

I think you're right that to start up something like this, it needs a niche, but at the same time, these kinds of apps are for discovering and meeting new people, do you have any ideas of how to find the balance between the two opposites?
Gotcha!
I agree 3d is not really needed here, it good as an educational thing though.
Re:Show HN: Shellroute – give each shell its own proxy IP on Monday September 21, 2026 @04:25AM (#49784591)
Oh I see. The use cases are fairly limited for this I guess.

Curious, what's the advantage of this over ngrok?
Re:Jev is trained on 100% synthetic data on Friday September 18, 2026 @05:50AM (#49752083)
Oohh! That's quite something, how did I miss this.
Is it live on some redis?
Curious, it takes a screenshot and recreates the same thing (with dummy data loaded)? Or does it copy the source and then remove the parts to make the embeddable demo?
Re:Why is Google still serving dodgy ads? on Monday September 14, 2026 @02:53AM (#49692896)
Surprisingly, it hasn't changed much on the ad front after AI/LLM boom. I don't know if its because advertising is a "non-sexy" market and no one really wants to do it but better is expected.
Yes! Its the inefficient retries and loops that eat up the tokens. A good md file harness saves it.
Re:Ask HN: Do you regret using Social Networking apps? on Friday September 11, 2026 @03:24AM (#49654714)
That's so true! Social networking apps stopped focusing on social networking a while ago.
