Products that do what I created a tool that helps developers generate fake data for databases does

Hi, everyone! Lately, I've been working on quite a few applications that require a database, and as a result, I need some data to test everything. It has always taken me a lot of time to ask ChatGPT to generate fake data for me, so I decided to create a tool for developers called FakeData. FakeData allows developers to generate fake data easily with a simple UI/UX and customizable fields. This data can be used in their applications to test various functionalities. P.S. The app is not yet finished, and I would love to hear your honest feedback on it. Please be brutally honest about what…

    I built this using semantic search and the ChatGPT API, which was just released the other day. What makes it special is it not only understands the code you're debugging, but also pulls in additional context like relevant documentation to help answer your questions and suggest code changes. Ultimately, my goal is to take the hassle out of pasting error messages into Google, finding a vaguely related StackOverflow post, and manually integrating the solution into your code.

    After trying some queries, I found ChatGPT is good at finding public data, sometimes it may not be accurate, but overall, pretty good. Then why don't we make the data in a beautiful way ready to share? Columns + ChatGPT (alpha) is for data researchers! Looking forward to any feedback or suggestion...

    Hi HN, I created a (realistic) fake tweet generator to make my mum believe I'm successful until I get there for real haha. Now I can proudly (not) show her Elon endorsed my SaaS! It's 100% free to use and I tried to make it as realistic as possible while being easy to use. There are already existing similar tools but I could not find one that automatically pre-fills data from a twitter username and that handles business accounts (square picture/gold badge/company picture) so I built it. I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

    TLDR: Check out our documentation search here: https://xata.io/docs/overview Hello HN. I'm a designer over at Xata. We build a serverless database platform on top of Postgres and Elastic-like search that provides goodies like a native TypeScript client for type support in your IDE. Long story short, we're trying to bundle all the normal stuff you need out of a database along with branching, so you don't have to glue everything together. Today we added a new /ask/ endpoint to our search product that bundles in ChatGPT support into any stored data. Why would you…

    Hi friends! I've been waiting for ChatGPT Code Interpreter access for so long that I decided to just build my own. I figured maybe some of you are in the same boat so decided to do it as an Open Source project.

    I’ve been using this for my own workflow and friends suggested I share it with them so I quickly threw together my first chrome extension! As an ex-editor, I think chatGPT is overlooked as an editor with everyone jumping straight into writing. Editing is essentially giving it as comprehensive a writing prompt as possible. Playing with the actual prompt also gets you a wide range of different results that grammarly/other apps cant really do. The x% has been changed tool was the first thing I built to see how intrusive chatGPT's editing was at a glance. My biggest struggle was trying to…

    I have just launched a project that has been sitting on my hard drive 80% finished for the better part of a year. http://www.chatroulettespy.com It detects your 'anonymous' chat partner's IP address and performs a geolocation lookup on it to show the user the partner's approximate location on a map. I know the Chatroulette fad has peaked a long time ago (when I started this project), but there are still many people using it and its many clones. It was important for me to follow through on this one and not let it die on my hard drive like many projects before. I would appreciate any feedback…

    I'm building an AI platform, FlowChai and found a neat use case for it today that I thought would be useful to HN readers. I use GPT4 heavily for writing / editing code, but a major downside is that it doesn't know about new projects. I made the connection today that I could upload the zip file of a Github repo to FlowChai and then write prompts just like with ChatGPT with code questions. While the original intent for this platform is more around natural language, it's neat how this works so well. It's powered underneath by pgvector and OpenAI embeddings.

    Hey HN, As a heavy ChatGPT user, I often want to explore my chat history, look for things I've already asked, keep favorite chats, and much more. ChatGPT doesn't even offer search capability (except in mobile version). So I decided to build one myself. It runs locally, so no sensitive data leaks. You only need to export your ChatGPT conversations, and put it in the `data` folder. Optionally setup OpenAI API key and it will create embeddings for semantic search. *Important* - it's not a desktop app (at least, not yet) - it's a python code with a browser interface that I've only tested on…

    Hi HN! I wanted to share my freshly finished open-source project. It is similar to ChatGPT Code Interpreter, but the interpreter runs locally and it can use open-source models like Llama 2. It allows you to work with sensitive data without uploading it to the cloud. Either you use a local LLM (like Llama 2), or an API (like GPT-4). For the latter case, there is an approval mechanism in the UI, which separates your local data from the remote services. I would be very interested in your valuable feedback!

    Today I designed a method to prevent users from jailbreaking ChatGPT (for instance, users have generated instructions to produce weapons or illegal drugs, commit a burglary, kill oneself, take over the world as an evil superintelligence, or create a virtual machine which they then can use). The OpenAI team appears to be countering these primarily using prompt engineering or fine-tuning on the ChatGPT model. The idea is to use a second and fully separate, fine-tuned LLM to evaluate prompts before sending them to ChatGPT. You can test this by inserting your successful ChatGPT jailbreaks. Break…

    Hello all, This is my first submission on Hacker News. Recently, like many others, I've been playing around with ChatGPT APIs and have been impressed with the capabilities that have been unlocked through the APIs. For example, ChatGPT could "recommend" me songs that can introduce me to different kinds of music - "Popular American music from the 90s" or "Classical Indian music" or "Songs that have won the Original Song Award at the Oscars." Or you could even ask for "early morning CrossFit workout music." So instead of adding these recommendations manually, I integrated ChatGPT responses with…

    Hi there Hacker News, I've started a side project http://datasourcehub.com which aims to be a platform for data scientists. The project is still in the idea phase so the UI/UX and functionality are all subject to change. Feel free to play around, below is a guest login, and make sure files are content type of 'text/csv'. All data is subject to deletion, it's just a sandbox right now! By reaching out to the Hacker News community I hope to reach expert data scientists and get their feedback. Below are some questions I'd like to answer and some proposed directions that this…

    I made an API mocking tool that imports a schema, populates fake data, then runs a local server. This is helpful for testing APIs or advanced prototyping. A demo video is here: https://www.loom.com/share/abad2cdf325e4e0b9addea1e14406166?... There’s two fun things about this tool 1. the complete lack of configs and schema annotations. i.e. you don’t need to learn faker-js. You just need your existing GraphQL schema and to to swap out the server URL in your frontend code. 2. the depth. Your fake objects have relationships to other fake objects. And in proxy mode, real…

    So I've been obsessed with a weird question for the past 6 months, what happens to SEO when everyone starts asking ChatGPT for recommendations instead of Googling? The answer, apparently, is chaos. And maybe opportunity? I built FirstClick because I noticed something strange. My previous startup was getting zero traffic from AI assistants, but our competitor (objectively worse product, sorry not sorry) was getting mentioned by Claude and Perplexity constantly. It drove me crazy. So I reverse engineered why. Turns out there's a whole new game being played and most founders don't even know it…

    Hi everyone, I’ve been using ChatGPT to analyze my journal entries and to reflect with. It works great, I really liked it. I’ve managed to gain some good insights about myself and made improvements. However, there are a few problems: - ChatGPT only remembers key facts about you, it has limited memories - ChatGPT couldn't recall the content of conversations you had with it - For individual ChatGPT products, your private conversations might be used to train future models (see: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...) So, I decided to build my…
