Talk to Santa – An Interactive ChatGPT-Powered App for Kids
Hi HN! Long time lurker, first time poster. I built something that I'm super proud of. I've been super fascinated by voice + AI since Siri and Alexa first launched. Sadly, both of those fell a bit short. With ChatGPT, it seemed like the promise of a fully interactive voice agent was a bit closer. So I built an app that lets kids talk to Santa. The most important part to me was making it feel like a real conversation with low latency. Powered by ChatGPT, Santa is fully interactive. He'll tell stories, answer questions about the North Pole, and even help parents land any message they need help…

In plain words
Talk to Santa is an iOS app that lets children have voice conversations with a ChatGPT-powered Santa character. The app generates interactive responses designed to feel like natural dialogue, enabling Santa to tell stories, answer questions about the North Pole, and deliver parental messages about behavior. Built with a focus on low latency for realistic conversation flow, it targets families looking to create a magical holiday experience for young children.

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…
