Refero 2.0
Together with my partner, we are bootstraping a service that allows product designers (and actually startup founders) to find design references from real life product (web and iOS). Why is this important and why does it even work? Every designer spends up to 6 hours a week (we've talked to over 100 of our users to make sure) looking at references on sites like Dribbble and Behance for sources of inspiration. Sometimes they just need to find payment form or specific dashboard, for example. And Refero solves this problem in the best way possible. Refero allows you to find iOS pages or web…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
