Midnight is a side-project I've been working on for the past year, but only released in alpha a month ago. It aims to be the web equivalent of your local pub: a place you can go to and talk about your day with strangers or friends. It's heavily inspired by write.as (for simplicy) and Roam (for bi-directional linking). My hope is that it fosters creative writing as well as typical pub discussions. You can read more about it and the concept on https://midnight.pub Here are some example of interesting stories written: https://midnight.pub/e/269435632215917061…

This is our entry in the "spontaneous event creation" ring. I'd love to hear what HN readers think!

Hey there HN! I believe the future of AI communication will be more voice and less text. Low-latency realistic voice interactions are finally becoming feasible. I've built a few voice-first apps on Retell AI using Elevenlabs voices. This one uses Claude Haiku for responses and Mixtral to switch between posts and comments. The AI knows about the top 30 posts and their comments on Hacker News right now. After a Google sign-in you can try it free for 10 minutes. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Today I come to you on this beautiful Friday with a freshly hardthink-ed solution to a proliferous problem plaguing our world: the loss of original voice. The blanket of blandness slowly suffocating centuries of writing. Or to put it bluntly: AI writing is trash. It is disrespectful to expect ME to read something YOU could not even be bothered to write (or likely even read). The lingering human connection that remained resilient on the internet - through years of SEO optimisation, propaganda bots, ads, regional firewalls, politics, censorship - is now being diluted even further. Many of the…

Start a tweet with @letpgfinish, and it will be finished as if by Paul Graham himself. This was a weekend project I undertook with a couple of friends just for fun. The original one was @letkanyefinish, so you might like to try that out too... in fact, it seems to work much better (funnily enough, there's a definite inverse relationship between literacy of bot and literacy of its human counterpart). Anyway, the output is based on pg's essays and various tweets/quotes. Having used HN silently for a while, we thought we'd share this - so hope you enjoy :)

Hi HN, A couple months ago, a friend mentioned that there are too many great podcasts to keep up with. We searched for a solution but didn't find one and realized that many other listeners likely face the same problem. So, I built PodSnap.AI, a service that keeps track of new podcast episodes and automatically sends AI-generated text and audio summaries to your inbox as soon as they are published. This way, users can quickly get the key insights and decide whether to watch the full episode. The service supports podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It's still beta, so I'd highly…

hey HN, I’m the cofounder of AnyTopic. We create custom podcasts to help you learn about any topic in an audio format. A lot of tweets on X/Twitter mention something interesting I want to learn more about. I found myself bookmarking these tweets to find more information about them later but most times I end up not doing anything with them. We built a twitter bot (@getpodcastapp) that creates a podcast when you mention it in a reply. The bot finds information related to the content in the tweet and/or thread (news, blogs, social media, videos or even Wikipedia) to create a unique…

I built a podcast search engine that performs a semantic search within thousands of podcasts transcriptions. Technologies used are: OpenAI Whisper for transcriptions, BERT embeddings and FAISS as a vector database

Hi HN, I've been reading for a few years now and thought I'd like to share my weekend project with you. Five.Seven.Five. is a place for fans of Haiku to publish, comment and share their poetry. I recently left work to start building my own web applications and thought this would be an interesting project to gear up to that. There's not a lot of content at the moment so if any other HN'ers are interested in Haiku, please feel free to sign up and publish your own Haikus. http://www.myfivesevenfive.com/ Of course, I welcome any constructive feedback and am interested to hear your thoughts.…

I built this quiz after realizing how good AI has gotten at mimicking literature, speeches, and images. It's one strike and you're out. It includes AI-generated Shakespeare, fake MLK speeches, photorealistic images, and movie dialogue. I got several of my own questions wrong while building it. This isn't about testing your English degree, it's more about showing how well AI can now forge canonical cultural references. We've hit a point where the fakes are genuinely convincing. Where AI still slips up: Over-explanation (real Shakespeare is more economical) Generic metaphors vs. specific…

I use AI while reading the Bible and I suspect others do too. It's helpful whether you're struggling with the Elizabethan English, or want added context/want to know what theologians say about a passage. So I thought, why not make the AI come to you? TIA for any feedback!
