but that some guy was reading your blog, so you were building a reputation and maybe a personal brand or position of authority on some subjects.

now, it's like you are working for free for gen-AI companies.

I feel much less incentivised to post publicly. The only benefit might be that I review and think more before posting than saving locally.

The downside is that now bunch of llms will read it and spill my thoughts all over without any attribution. I might be even ok with that, but now some company is making money on it, and that doesn't sit well with me.

I'm building KineVision https://kine.vision. Top notch sports video analysis tool for iOS.

Sharing code on the blog not any more?

I've been blogging on and off for 20 years.When I was a teenager the motivation was very clear, I just wanted to share what I found. Like how to work around a bug in some old Nokia smartphone.Lately I choose an ambitious project for myself in Swift/AVFoundation. I worked a lot on a single feature and I nailed it. I felt that again, I'm going to share it.But then I felt sad, because I don't have...

I'm building KineVision, a sport video analysis app for iOS. Something like Coach's Eye.

I wanted to have a more difficult project and learn more about AV and Liquid Glass. I try not to vibe-code. I keep it 100% free for now, I'm looking for power users and retention. I won't monetise until I feel that this is a helpful tool.

I was on a hackathon this weekend and we made a tool for product owners - a bot that joins calls, listens, creates and refines Linear tasks

lol, this is an absurdly bad article, picking similar things and showing them together claiming there's nothing else that stands out.
I made an app like that for iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/visuel/id6446812880, there's also a shortcut, so you can just ask Siri to save it to some category

from landing page "We do not log or associate searches with an account" I guess it's nothing technological like FHE, but rather how they set up their system.

I’m a builder. I’ve shipped over 30 iOS apps in my career, many websites, and biometric embedded software. I enjoy working on mobile apps.

  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: Swift, Objective-C, Xcode, Node.js, Typescript, Firebase

I’m looking for an opportunity where I won't be squeezed into a tiny box. Ideally at the a early startup, close to the product development.

I will consider part-time or full time. Ideally b2b.

Halt and catch fire vibes
haha I see what you did there. Nice way to validate product idea
Re:Is Google coral getting abandoned on Thursday March 09, 2023 @11:15AM (#35082871)
ai accelerator market is so tough... When we were designing ai pipeline for video processing at my last company, we went through a lot of different accelerators during research...

most of the companies won't even send you a dev kit unless you show promise to buy thousands.. Google coral was different, of the shelf, easy to buy, plug and play, python API.

It has a few problems though. It's not very fast for today's standards.The list of supported operators aged quickly. On top of that it is a bit energy hungry, 2 TOPS per watt + random spikes.

I hope they are working on something new, but I also won't be suprised if they kill it, for the last year the devices are constantly out of stock.

thanks, similar story here. I'm in the middle in apartment renovation and initialy I made it to save images for todo to the backlog.

It's also very handy when my girlfriend shows me sth she likes, I can easly store it for gift ideas

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2023) on Thursday March 02, 2023 @09:40AM (#34996204)
I'm building a productivity app based only on camera images. For me it's always easier to capture what I need than to put it into words

think:

- fixes around the house / todos

- image as a reminder

- wishlist (some photo lists can be public and shareable)

- recommendations (when someone is showing you a book or sth, just capture and save it)

I'm still at an early experimentation stage, but have I'm documenting progress at https://twitter.com/visuelapp
