QA GPT – Write UI tests in plain English powered by GPT-4-Vision
Hey HN, QA GPT enables engineers and QA teams to write UI and functionality tests in plain english. As engineers, we sometimes get a little lazy when it comes to testing the functionality of our changes. It's hard to switch from coder hat to user hat. However, a single bug can significantly impact users experience and satisfaction. Errors found in production aren't just a nuisance; they're costly. The later a bug is discovered, the more expensive it becomes to fix. I built QA GPT as a proof of concept to make writing UI/functionality tests really easy. It's super simple - just write…
In plain words
QA GPT allows engineers and QA teams to write UI and functionality tests using plain English instead of code, powered by GPT-4-Vision. Users describe test cases in natural language, such as "sign in and verify the login works," and the tool executes them automatically. It targets developers and QA professionals who want to reduce testing friction and catch bugs earlier in development, when fixes are less costly.

Hey HN, QA GPT enables engineers and QA teams to write UI and functionality tests in plain english. As engineers, we sometimes get a little lazy when it comes to testing the functionality of our changes. It's hard to switch from coder hat to user hat. However, a single bug can significantly impact users experience and satisfaction. Errors found in production aren't just a nuisance; they're costly. The later a bug is discovered, the more expensive it becomes to fix. I built QA GPT as a proof of concept to make writing UI/functionality tests really easy. It's super simple - just write your test case in plain english and run it. For example: - "Test the new sharing functionality by signing in, selecting a user, and clicking share." - "Log in and try adding a product to the cart" - "Create a new card, view the number of the card, and verify the digits match the face of the card" Let me know what you guys think

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
