Hey - I've been playing with LLMs since GPT-2 and recently experimented with fully generative UIs where the HTML/Canvas are generated just-in-time. Every post on the feed( on slop/duck/storytime) you see is streamed and generated just-in-time with HTML and into a Canvas with Gemini 3 Flash. Comments and DMs are bidirectionally linked with a Cloudflare Workers Durable Object which is why they feel so fast. Every generated post is saved into a DO SQLite which is then served into the "Following" feed so it can be served quicker. This was inspired by Wikitok, a VSCode Extension I…

We built a search engine that shows you the most engaging stories/topics being shared across Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Google+. We crawled over 15 million articles the past 3 months, retrieved the total number of Facebook likes, tweets, Google+’s etc and built a search index around it. Here's what our infrastructure looks like: Rails/Redis: We use the Sidekiq gem as a message queue. We have hundreds of workers that do the crawling, data mining, and number crunching. ElasticSearch: We built the search index using ElasticSearch, with the data imported from our Postgres…

Seekeasy MCP▲140Hey HN! We're building search over social media data - starting with the restaurants vertical first but we plan to cover all lifestyle topics (travel, fashion, beauty, sports etc). To date, we've ingested 1M+ instagram posts (images and videos), 7K+ food creator profiles, and 150K+ restaurants data across SF and NY (expanding nationwide very quickly). We got a lot of interest in our dataset so we built an MCP for devs to explore our data where you can query for restaurant recommendations and see results based on relevancy + instagram videos supporting the result (e.g. "first date spots").…

SocialKit▲92Hi HN, I’ve been working on a side project called SocialKit, a simple API for scraping structured data from public social media posts (YouTube, Shorts, more coming soon). It's designed for dev, no-code users, and marketers who want to extract things like summaries, transcripts, details, and more from YouTube. I sold two previous side projects (LectureKit and CaptureKit), and this is my latest attempt at building something useful and focused. I would love to get any feedback :) Happy to answer any questions, and thanks for checking it out! Jonathan

Post for Me▲17Building integrations for TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn got frustrating with how different every platform is with auth setup, rate limits, and media requirements. So we built Post for Me: one REST API that handles scheduling and publishing posts for TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, and Threads. It's built for developers. You bring your own app credentials from the social platform, so you're in control of your data. There's no limitations on account connections, and pricing is based on usage (not some arbitrary limitations). We…

Google sends 16 large media brands (588 individual brands) a combined 3 billion+ clicks per month. They rank first page on 85% of all searches. They are inundating the web with things like subpar product recommendations, AI written listicles, and cookie cutter reviews. I don't like that, so I made an open source extension that blocks all of them from search results. (I'm not a developer, and I made this with Claude Opus's help)

Hi HN reader, I'm a solo-founder navigating product market fit. I've spent 3 years building Double Subtitles which I am very proud of, but I don't know how to do marketing and my growth is somewhat stagnant. Through learning about SEO, I discovered this opportunity that I want to share: There are a lot of websites that let you download social media videos, which have extremely high traffic. But they are all disjoint, in the sense that some download TikTok videos, while others download Instagram videos, others YouTube, etc... I quickly prototyped software which downloads any video from any…

This is a chrome extension I made. You visit tiktok.com and sign in, the extension retrieves MP4s and puts them in a folder. My goal: the TikTok algorithm has helped me find wonderful things. I consider the list of my [Likes] to be a treasure collection, and want to make sure I don't lose them. If you don't have time to try, here's a video walking through all the features: https://youtu.be/BoHOdRxHgP0 Is it free: Yes. (I did test a payment modal once, but users gave me 1-star ratings for it, so I removed it)
