    My book on "GNU grep and ripgrep" is free to download today and tomorrow [1][2] Code snippets, example files and sample chapters are available on GitHub [3] The book uses plenty of examples and regular expressions are also covered from scratch. The book is suitable for beginners as well as serves as a reference. Hope you find it useful, I would be grateful for your feedback and suggestions. I used pandoc+xelatex [4] to generate the pdf.

    Hey all, As a CEO of a growing startup I don't get to code as often as I like and when I do, I try not to annoy my team with my terrible code :) So to scratch the itch, I've built some of side projects related to what our company does. The latest is embedcurl.com I see a lot of API docs and blogs posting curl commands that are really hard to read and I figured I could make them easier to read and add some niceties like easier copy/paste, tooltips on flags, etc. They also gracefully degrade if javascript isn't enabled back to a element. The parsing is done in Python with shlex and…

    Hey HN! I built Transcrib.ee to help me generate transcripts for lectures on YouTube with no captions, especially multilingual lectures. I was constantly frustrated with videos that had no transcripts or inaccurate ones, so I built a tool and decided to share it with everyone. This tool uses Groq (an AI inference engine that's different from Grok and offers very fast processing) and OpenAI's Whisper model (really accurate in multilingual) to quickly transcribe any YouTube video, regardless of the language. It's been a game-changer for my studies! To make it even faster, I created a Chrome…

    I found the manual process of downloading various YouTube assets painful so built a simple app to help myself and hopefully others. The app wraps up popular Python libraries (`yt-dlp, scrapetube, youtube-transcript-api`) and makes their functionality easier to use. Python and Docker versions are available.

    Easily collect all transcriptions from a YouTube channel to create your own custom GPT (via OpenAI) or querying a large context window (Claude 2.1) The example is “CY GPT” your very own Sichael Miebel and Calton Daldwell in your pocket. I have a backlog of open-source projects, hope this helps!! This is counter intuitive (as I’m posting this) but please respect the creators copyright and use for research purposes only

    Hello HN community ! Finally I have a "Show HN" post. I'm bootstrapping my first Mac app, it's a standalone Xdebug PHP debugger. It aims to help any PHP developers out there who don't want to use IDE to debug code. My app it's slimmer, faster to load and easy to work and setup :) Hope you guys like it Site: http://codebugapp.com/

    Hey HN! I’m excited to share Strawberry, Chrome extension that provides instant summaries of YouTube videos when you hover over thumbnails—think “Wikipedia link previews” but for YouTube. I love YouTube—it’s genuinely enriched my life over the years. But I often find myself getting pulled into endless rabbit holes due to catchy thumbnails. So I made Strawberry to help navigate YouTube more mindfully. Right now we have 3 features: - Hover any thumbnail for a summary (including Homepage, Search, Suggested vids, Shorts) - Detailed video summaries - Chat with videos Eager to hear your thoughts,…
