Speaking Time Calculator
Hi HN, I built a small, free tool that estimates how long a speech will take based on text length and speaking speed (WPM). You can paste your script or enter a word count, adjust the speaking pace, and instantly see an estimated duration. I originally made it for preparing presentations and talks where timing matters, but it also works well for narrations, lectures, or video scripts. The site is intentionally lightweight (no signup, no tracking beyond basic analytics) and works entirely in the browser. I’d love any feedback on usability, accuracy assumptions, or features you’d expect in a…

What it does
Calculate your speech time accurately based on word count and speaking pace. Free tool with teleprompter.
Instantly calculate how long your speech, presentation, or pitch will take. Whether you are preparing a keynote address, a wedding toast, or a podcast script, knowing exactly how long your speech will take is critical. Our Speaking Time Calculator is designed to perfectly bridge the gap between word counts and physical speaking duration. Speaking pace is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM). The average conversational speaking pace for English speakers in the United States is between 130 and 150 WPM. However, this varies wildly depending on the context: Speaking too quickly is the most common mistake made by novice public speakers. When adrenaline kicks in, your natural speaking rate…from speakingtimecalculator.online

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
