Check out Hapi (https://hapi.run/) - it's a thin wrapper around claude/codex/gemini, you can pick-up sessions from your phone and start terminal sessions remotely. It's pretty good. I use this with Emdash (https://emdash.sh/) as an agentic development environment.

Working hard to finally ship my co-founded product - Edit Square, an online motion graphics editor https://editsquare.com/ - private invites are going out this week, wish me luck!

This has been in the works for many years! The project originally started as web forms driving After Effects templates on a Windows server, and has now evolved to a point where the web technology landscape has matured enough to build a full-on motion graphics editor right in the browser, using WebGPU and WebCodecs.

Check out emdash.sh - each task spins up its own worktree with a bunch of pre-defined environment variables that are injected. This includes `EMDASH_PORT` a uniquey port for a 10 port range. Very useful for running multiple services from a single monorepo.

Hah! Of course. We're hoping to release our video editor early next year. So keep an eye out.

This sounds like a more robust tool, however I wanted to keep our external tooling to a minimum. The contact sheet generation sits as part of our transcoding pipeline for uploaded media which already uses ffmpeg.

Maybe thumbnail sprite sheet is a more accurate term? I would have thought thumbnail on it's own doesn't represent the fact we're stitching together all the thumbnails of the video into a single image.

We're using this method as part of our user media upload pipeline at editsquare.com I'm guessing you're using ffmpeg wasm on your editor? One thing to note, that I didn't mention in the article, is generating a JPEG output is substantially quicker than a PNG.

This is very impressive. Is the playback frame accurate? What are you using to retrieve the sub titles?

Looks good, but doesn't implement video previews, which seems to be the case with most of these OG preview tools.

I use FreeAgent. It connects with all my business accounts and does automatic transaction matching to invoices. Sends emails and follow-ups. It also figures out all the tax things for me in the UK, not sure about other countries though.

TIL HN has favorite functionality!

Other than testing, it would be interesting to hear about some other usages.

I've tried to write something similar, but I found that I was hitting the upper comment limitation of reddits API (ie. If there are more than 10k comments on a subreddit within an hour). How did you get around this problem?

I presume they are capturing your phone number for nefarious marketing reasons...

If I remember correctly, Perforce SCM had this feature.

same - took me 2 attempts to get access to the demo account - also your register page exposes a whole bunch of information if that username is already taken.

I incorrectly assumed from the marketing page that this was a hosted CMS. It wasn't until after sign-up it became clear this was a self-hosted build. Why do I need to sign-up when it's available on github?

There is a namespace in C++ called WTF, which probably accounts for a skew in that column.

I see what you did there

I'm the complete opposite. I'm a bit of a tinkerer, so my hardware and OS are transient (flash a new build every 3 months). Instead of migrating data, my habits have instead slowly evolved to using SAAS. Don't get me wrong, I have a NAS drive somewhere with a load of music/movies on, but I just don't touch it anymore. It's easier to open up a browser and sign-in to grooveshark or google play.

Have you checked out https://www.siliconmilkroundabout.com/ which is a careers fair in Old Street, London?

the site mentions a 5% commission fee on any sale - which is higher than comparable sites like Etsy (3.5%).

This is the hacker news comment thread from yesterday which I presume sparked off this post: "Apple maps: how Google lost when everyone thought it had won" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6711551

I guess this is an early design prototype (as all the social links are referring to dribble.com). Not sure what this is doing on HN.

London house prices are crazy expensive. My current flat costs me 2,000 GBP (~3,200 USD) pcm, and it's not event central London!

There does seem to be a propensity for "bums on seats" management style, and although I agree with the value of face-to-face communication there must be some middle ground which is beneficial for everyone. I guess it's hard to pay for an employee that you never see (even if you do see their work).

I think it all comes down to standards, as the OP mentioned in the article. Google services usually support open standards (ODF for google docs), which makes migrating your data, when the service closes, a whole lot easier.

If only there was an open standard for "offline" apps that could be used on android, iphone, iOS, windows, linux...etc with the same end user experience.

I doubt this would work. If you are not willing to pay for a CD,DVD, Software...etc why would you shell out on a monthly basis on the off chance that you are caught?
