BabyStepsJs – Interactive Skill Tree for Babies in a Single HTML File
Hi HN, I built BabyStepsJs to track the development of my newborn daughter in the form of a skill tree. It’s a mix of gamified documentation of her current progress and a bit of education on what she might discover next. I conducted a similar development experiment a few months ago with the same rules (see the cs-util-com/InstantScribe repo): - Act mainly as the PM and QA for the AI (this time ChatGPT-o1) and iteratively add user stories and requirements to extend the feature set. - Each iteration was typically a single commit, so the AI’s proposed changes were easy to review in the git…

AI Baby Monitor – local Video-LLM that beeps when safety rules break2025 · github.com · ▲94Hi HN! I built AI Baby Monitor – a tiny stack (Redis + vLLM + Streamlit) that watches a video stream and a YAML list of safety rules. If the model spots a rule being broken it plays beep sound, so you can quickly glance over and check on your baby. Why? When we bought a crib for our daughter, the first thing she tried was climbing over the rail :/ I got a bit paranoid about constantly watching her over, so I thought of a helper that can *actively* watch the baby, while parents could stay *semi-actively* alert. It’s meant to be an additional set of eyes, and *not* a replacement for the…
Startkit.ai – Boilerplate for building products with AI2024 · startkit.ai · ▲25Hey HN! I've been serially building AI projects for over a year, and building node + js SaaS products for over 10 years with my partner. We decided to combine everything we know about AI with our node best-practices into a code boilerplate and see if it can help anyone else! We've had a bunch of positive feedback already from early-users, and at least two SaaS products being developed right now with StartKit.AI as their base. Here's what you get! → Pre-built modules for all common AI tasks: - Chat! Everything to build a ChatGPT clone or your own chatbot. With best-practice implementations of…
I built a toy music controller for my 5yo with a coding agent2025 · github.com · ▲37The HN community may find the context of the prompts, organized by each turn in each session, the most useful. See the website/docs/prompts.md and session-X.md files. I also started exploring some workflows for the LLM to execute, organized in the website/docs/tasks/ folder. I found it pretty handy to have the LLM document our work as we went and simply embedded the static site into the executable, along with all the music and logic. The whole project took me about a day for the backend. The C++ controller itself took only a few turns. I enjoyed focusing on my son's…
