24 alternatives to ride-recap, teaching a LLM my taste to automate cycling highlights
TL;DR: Turn hours of raw GoPro footage + a .fit file into a 60-second highlight reel with ride telemetry burned in. Every second of the ride is scanned by gemini-3.5-flash, as is the clip ranking + curation. The whole thing costs about $0.04 per ride and takes 10 minutes. Longer version: Road cycling has been my primary form of exercise, social outlet, therapy, wardrobe expense, and personality trait for almost a decade. I ride most weekends, usually out of Manhattan and up 9W. By the end of a ride I have hours of GoPro footage and one .fit file with per-second speed, power, heart rate,…

Gemini Embedding 2 can project raw video directly into a 768-dimensional vector space alongside text. No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text. A query like "green car cutting me off" is directly comparable to a 30-second video clip at the vector level. I used this to build a CLI that indexes hours of footage into ChromaDB, then searches it with natural language and auto-trims the matching clip. Demo video on the GitHub README. Indexing costs ~$2.50/hr of footage. Still-frame detection skips idle chunks, so security camera / sentry mode footage is much cheaper.

I've been working on this Claude Code pipeline for making 10-minute movies, gluing together Seedance (videogen), Nano Banana (image gen), and ElevenLabs (voice gen), and using Claude as the director. My repo contributes a markdown playbook and a worked example which should make it easier for other people to make their own short movies. A first-pass movie takes around 2.5 hours of wall clock time and costs around $200, and iterating is easy thanks to intermediate artifacts like storyboards and voice samples.

Snappit ▲19I wanted something simple to capture my day to day life without having to create montages manually. So I built Snappit. Record 5 seconds every day. The app automatically compiles them into weekly, monthly, and yearly montages. No sign up. No account. No server. Everything stays on your phone. The constraint is the feature. 5 seconds is low enough friction that you actually do it, but enough to capture the texture of a day. Built with Kotlin Multiplatform (Android + iOS from a shared codebase). Happy to answer questions about the tech or the product. Feedback welcome.

I built a free iOS app so cyclists can stop paying $20/mo just to retest their FTP. The ramp test itself is a 25-minute Bluetooth interaction with a known protocol. It shouldn't require rent. This app is opensource, free, no ads, no tracking nor third party integrations because I just wanted to have a fun side project and have no interest in monetization. If you are a cyclist, I would kindly ask for feedback on the app especially on the ftp test protocol instructions, trainer-model compatibility, and bug reports App store link:…

I'm a video editor, but not very professional. I mostly edit speech and podcast videos to highlight interesting parts and make short clips. I've found that the most time-consuming task is finding interesting segments in a full-length video. It usually takes me 2-3 hours of continuous listening just to find the 'timestamps' where the interesting points start and end. I'm referring to source videos that are 30 min to 1 hour long. Nowadays, getting transcriptions for videos is easy with AI. So, why not use that to find segments? Reading through a transcription is much quicker and easier than…
