https://handler.team/

Hey HN, I’m Vignesh, solo dev.Handler is a Mac app for Codex and OpenCode that adds a review layer while the agent is generating code.Every edit comes with a short explanation: what changed, why it changed, and what it touches. If one edit needs more context, you can open a side chat on just that change and ask follow-ups without derailing the main agent run.The goal is to build a mental model...

Show HN: A Genetic algorithm that red-teams your copy with 100 LLM personas

https://crashtestcopy.com/

Hey everyone,I know a product like this will get banned on HN, but I think the technical part is interesting, so I’m taking my shot here.problem: You try to get ChatGPT to write your landing page copy or email and it comes back... cringe. It's generic. It's as if every output is written by the same person. You try adjusting the prompt and running it through the AI again, and it's just a...

Show HN: PDF reader with interactive visualizations for research papers

https://zerodistract.com

Hey HN,I built a PDF reader that can generate interactive visualizations right inside the document. The goal is to reduce the “intuition gap” when reading dense papers: select a concept, click Visualize, and it tries to produce a solid visual interactive app where you can rotate/zoom/step through (not just a text explanation).Upload any PDF, select text, click Visualize. Demo (no signup): ...

Re:Show HN: A search engine that values depth over popularity on Sunday December 29, 2024 @01:30PM (#42541803)
Currently, it uses both Google and Bing, but I am planning to add a small index from curated pages from forums like HN and Reddit, similar to what I did before

Show HN: A search engine that values depth over popularity

Hey HN,I'm excited to introduce Graphthem, a search engine designed to explore the deeper layers of knowledge rather than just surface-level popularity.While many AI search engines simply summarize top N results, we've found this approach often misses the many good stuff that is buried deeper in the links and references.Graphthem takes a different approach. we don't just look at the first few...

Thank you for the feedback, everyone.

I am temporarily pausing and making sure I am within legal limits. If not, I will completely remove face recognition and try other routes to solve the problem.

It's just the Bing search API under the hood. The process is: Query -> Crawl -> Categorize profiles.
Re:Show HN: A People Search Engine with Face Recognition on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @04:10PM (#42198148)
Thank you for trying. We are being rate-limited. We are currently fixing it.
Re:Show HN: A People Search Engine with Face Recognition on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @01:10PM (#42196627)
Thank you!

Exactly - this won't be useful for stalkers. We don't crawl or index social media pictures.

Will add FAQ section.

Thank you for the feedback :)

No, we don't. I think my copy might have been confusing. We are simply Perplexity for people - we just summarize a person's internet presence.

I just did research on this.

Clearview vs Introthem:

- Clearview does photo-to-photo matching. We don't do that, and I don't think I will ever build that.

- You have to provide the name, then we build the faces collection for analyzing at search time and delete it.

- We don't retain any face collection once the search is done.

I still don't know if I am breaking any laws, but here is how Introthem works.

Re:Show HN: A People Search Engine with Face Recognition on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @10:09AM (#42194541)
Thanks for the info. We don't use any private data, only publicly available images. So it won't be a problem, in my opinion.

I will contact my lawyer and double check this.

Show HN: I used GPT-4-Vision to mimic myself in emails and Intercom

https://brainmimic.com/

Hello everyone,Hey, I am Vignesh. When I launched my previous product, Keep it Shot, it got some attention on Twitter to the point where I was spending two straight days on repetitive customer support, answering emails and Twitter DMs. I passionately hated it. Don't get me wrong, I love talking to my customers, but I just can't answer simple, repetitive responses. That's when I came up with the...
