Winnow

What it does

X (Twitter) is full of great ideas and insightful people. But the problem? You often have to dig through a mountain of low-effort, repetitive spam to find them. Winnow clears the clutter. It quietly collapses low-effort, likely automated replies using multiple signals, not one silly “AI detector” trick. Nothing is deleted, everything is reversible, and filtering stays private and local by default. Less noise. More signal. Your timeline on X, Winnowed.

A private, reversible Chrome extension that collapses strong matches for low-effort automated-looking replies on X.

Winnow collapses strong matches for low-effort, automated-looking replies into clean 52px rows. Your timeline stays readable, and every original reply stays one click away. What did you learn after shipping your first browser extension? Chrome requires a short manual install for extensions distributed outside its paid store. Download the release, extract it, and load the folder—no account or payment required. Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted Winnow folder. Direct installs do not update automatically. This page will always carry the newest verified release. Winnow combines content, timing, account context, and repeated-pattern evidence. Uncertain replies remain exactly where X…from winnow.sbintekamal06.chatgpt.site

  Repo: https://github.com/nnnkit/totem Bookmarking a tweet/article/thread on X is one click, but actually reading it later is like five clicks — open X, dig into history, bookmarks, find the post, and dodge the distraction of new feeds and notifications on the way there. So I had hundreds of genuinely great tweets saved and basically never read any of them. Totem puts that queue on the browser new tab, so reading them is just one click away. No feed distraction, no algorithm, no AI, no server, no account — it's all local. In one sentence "It's like the reading…

  I reverse engineered X to Read Threads without Any Account as Articles2024 · ▲59

  Hi fellow hackers, I'm Ved, I came across the pain point of having a reader that could provide threads as articles after scrolling them many times and missing the context of the original info shared. To solve my itch I decided to build a thread reader without Ads(all existing sol. were full of them), since X/Twitter API was very pricey, I did some reverse engineering to convert rendered X.com/twitter pages to an API and host it in a VM (which obv. was dead cheap). All of your data is saved in LocalStorage. Including your comments and saved threads(there is a known issue with Linux…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
