Runthru – open-source Interactive Demos

I was looking for a tool to create interactive demos / walkthroughs for web based software. I was amazed that many companies charge well over $1000 per month for something pretty basic. I made this which so far works well for me. You can point it at a site and either let AI (byo OpenAI or Anthropic keys) record and polish the whole thing or do it manually yourself (or a mixture of both). Here is an example interactive demo: https://runnit.io/demos/i-want-you-to-create-a-demo-of-from-... Disclaimer: This is a tool which works for me and may work for you, it's not…

I was looking for a tool to create interactive demos / walkthroughs for web based software. I was amazed that many companies charge well over $1000 per month for something pretty basic.

    I built an interactive demo builder for your sales team2024 · demoshake.com · ▲8

    Hey HN! I’ve created (co-created with my co-founder) a tool called demoshake that helps you build interactive demos and use them in your sales process. The idea is simple - you create as many demos as you want, group them and let your sales team use them in their demos calls. You can embed demos in your landing page (iframe style) too. I welcome any criticism and suggestions! Harun

    Dashboard to Get Complete Breakdown of OpenAI Costs2023 · puddl.io · ▲5

    Hello Folks, I am an indie developer, For the last 5 months I was freelancing by building GPT-powered chatbots. One of the challenges I faced was not having visibility into my OpenAI costs. This is why I have built a dashboard to get a complete breakdown of my OpenAI API usage through network calls from OpenAI. Please give it a try & help with feedback on how I can further improve the product,which can really add value and save some money. Note: 1)I found this API through the network logs of the billing screen. 2)The tool stores the OpenAI Key locally on the browser.

    I made an open-source Replit2024 · github.com · ▲9

    I spent the past few weeks making an open source cloud code editing environment with an AI copilot and multiplayer collaboration! It's fully self-hostable in 5-10 minutes. There's a lot of minor improvements to be made, and some are already listed in the Github issues. Let me know what you think and feel free to try it out.

    Simple OpenAI Playground Clone2023 · github.com · ▲8

    Hey HN! I love the OpenAI Playground UI but I don't love the Auth0 implementation causing me to waste precious minutes entering 2FA codes... so I spent a week cloning the basic features of the OpenAI Playground UI, all in a single HTML file. You can try it on github pages[0] or run it locally in your browser. Just paste your API key and hit start to begin using it. You can also add your key to the URI fragment[1] and bookmark it to start immediately. [0] https://minwidth0px.github.io/gpt-playground [1] like https://minwidth0px.github.io/gpt-playground#API_KEY

  • 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…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
