I made a simple, open source, chromatic tuner mobile app
I'm a musician by night, software developer by day, and one of the minor frustrations I've always had was trying to find a simple tuner app for my phone. Looking at both the iOS and Android app stores, you'll find a lot of the top tuner apps are rather bloated with ads or subscription callouts.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I'm a musician by night, software developer by day, and one of the minor frustrations I've always had was trying to find a simple tuner app for my phone. Looking at both the iOS and Android app stores, you'll find a lot of the top tuner apps are rather bloated with ads or subscription callouts. I thought I'd create a dead-simple minimalistic mobile chromatic tuner the way I would like it - open the app and tune my guitar. My work is in web with NodeJS and React, so I chose React Native since it was the easiest to understand coming from React. Flutter was also an option since the company I work for has a team working in that, but I thought it would be a bit too much effort to learn Dart. I learned a bit more about React rendering with this project as well. The main issue I had was trying to have a React state variable be constantly updated with any frequencies detected from the mic input, but that ended up causing substantial slowdown due to so many rerenders, so I opted to use a React ref to maintain any detections, and then only update the React state when there was an actual note. I feel like sometimes the UI has trouble updating occasionally when my iPhone is in battery saving mode, which I guess might be related to throttling the audio sample rate somehow, though I'm not entirely sure. Friends and family haven't noticed this, so it may be due to my old 2016 iPhone SE :P. The apps you can find on the both the iOs App Store and Google Play (free!). https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/jons-tuner/id1641018281 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orsi.jonst... Would love any feedback!

- IJI just open sourced Muxamp, a streaming media playlist in Node.js2013 · github.com · ▲32
Hey HN! I've been working on Muxamp for over a year now, and I decided that there's no point in keeping the source closed. (I never planned on making money from it.) I've learned a lot since I started, and I hope others can benefit from its release--and perhaps teach me a thing or two as well :)
- IBI built a website where you can easily fine-tune Llama 3.1 models2024 · tunellama.com · ▲8
Hey HN, I built a website where you can train Llama 3.1 8b & 70b (4bit) on your data. I use unsloth in the backend and the training is done on H100s which I rent programmatically from Runpod. I'd love some feedback. If you would be interested in using it feel free to book a chat with me: cal.com/hamada/tunellama-intro Happy to give you free credits :) P.S. I'm also looking for a co-founder as I have big plans for this.
