Show HN: Remove Sora watermarks in 5 seconds – without quality lossHey everyone! I built a tool that removes Sora watermarks in about 5 seconds, and I'd love to share the story behind it. How it started: I've been watching people make money with Sora2 in wild ways - selling invite codes for thousands a week, generating instant product ads with UI screenshots, automating social media workflows with n8n... it's crazy out there. Check out r/SoraInviteCodes if you don't believe me. But here's the catch everyone hits: even as a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, you're stuck with that watermark. And when you think "okay, maybe it's for copyright reasons," OpenAI hits you with the reality - $200/month for Pro membership to go watermark-free. The complaints across Reddit, X, and Discord are... intense. So I built: https://www.removesorawatermark.online What makes this different: Most tools out there use open-source AI models to "paint over" the watermark - it's slow (1+ minutes) and quality is hit-or-miss. Mine pulls the actual original video from Sora's servers - the

Show HN: A PSX/DOS style 3D game written in Rust with a custom software rendererSo, after years of abandoning Rust after the hello world stage, I finally decided to do something substantial. It started with simple line rendering, but I liked how it was progressing so I figured I could make a reasonably complete PSX style renderer and a game with it.My only dependency is SDL2; I treat it as my "platform", so it handles windowing, input and audio. This means my Cargo.toml is as simple as:[dependencies.sdl2] version = "0.35" default-features = false features = ["mixer"]this pulls around 6-7 other dependencies.I am doing actual true color 3D rendering (with Z buffer, transforming, lighting and rasterizing each triangle and so on, no special techniques or raycasting), the framebuffer is 320x180 (widescreen 320x240). SDL handles the hardware-accelerated final scaling to the display resolution (if available, for example in VMs it's sometimes not so it's pure software). I do my own physics, quaternion/matrix/vector math, TGA and OBJ loading.Performance: I have not spent a
Show HN: NoteSub Now with Decentralised SharingSocial media without being a social media platform. I wanted to be able to share aesthetic notes/posts/audio without social media intermediaries. PDFs are never made for phone screen views... so I implemented .NoteSub file creation in app and sharing so that you can send notes to be seen as good as they were designed via whatever sharing method you use.Also, it is free to download and use for every feature apart from an IAP for iOS sync.

You can control how those links are displayed on social-media by adding meta tags like og:image to your HTML header.It's easy to add those HTML tags, but you probably don't have the time/energy to curate images for each and every post/product/page on your website.So I made a little service that generates an optimized screenshot image from any link:[0] https://pic.fishYou can try it out for free on your website like this: Paying for browser-renderers and storage is expensive, but I really didn't want to contribute to subscription fatigue.

Show HN: Tool-Assisted Speedrunning the Boring Parts of Animal Crossing (GCN)I recently dug my Nintendo GameCube out of storage to revisit the first Animal Crossing game. Things were mostly as I remembered, but the game's heavy reliance on a clunky on-screen keyboard quickly wore my patience thin.Unwilling to accept this subpar experience, I did what any rational person would do and ordered a rare, Japan-exclusive, keyboard/controller hybrid on eBay, then used a Raspberry Pi Pico to 1. listen for keypresses and 2. send simulated controller events to the GameCube, automating typing in Animal Crossing at a Tool-Assisted Speedrun level.Of course, this oddball controller's keycaps didn't map perfectly to Animal Crossing's in-game character set, so I watched a 10 hour FreeCAD tutorial at 2x speed, then modeled the 7 keycap profiles to create 81 custom, 3D printed keycaps, taking care to include even the most esoteric Greek and Old English characters that Nintendo chose to include in the game.And then, having solved my original problem, I decided to sniff out some ne

Show HN: I created a finance app that lets you track debts and savings privatelyHi Hacker News!My first iphone app is a simple personal finance utility. The interface lets you plug in the debts and savings goals you have, and the UI displays a dashboard to monitor those debts and savings.Screenshots & UI: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/s/JfJjruelgRApp Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/downpay-track-debt-savings/id6...My goal was to make the app easy to use but at the same time detailed and customizable. You can achieve the same results with a spreadsheet but I wanted to build something fun to use right from your phone.There’s no backend, no user auth, or any dependencies on a server. This is purely a utility and all data is 100% private :) It is only saved locally on device and in iCloud.User privacy and convenience is my #1 priority with this app. No data is collected, not even analytics :o If you run into a bug or crash, please submit a bug :)Features: 1.

Show HN: Tailor: Edit Your Websites in the Browser with Llama3Hey HN! I recently built Tailor (https://tailor.cryingpotato.com) as a way to speed up the dev cycle that comes with tweaking a website.My workflow to tweak websites was pretty painful - I’d change things in devtools until they looked visually correct, and then context-switch back to my terminal to apply relevant edits.Tailor makes that process much easier by keeping the edit loop fully in the browser. Tailor uses LLMs as a fuzzy reasoning engine to automatically map your HTML edits to source code edits. It also runs code directly in your browser using WebContainers so you don't have to switch to the terminal to play around with these edits.I’d love for you to try it out. Hit "Get Started" on the landing page and you're taken to the editing screen. Once it loads (only desktop Chrome for now because of WebContainer limitations), you can click the scissor icon on the top-right and start making edits.When you submit an edit, Tailor takes your edit intent and starts exploring the codebase

Ask HN: How to handle KYC for thousands of users?For one project I would like to do, I will have to handle thousands or probably tens of thousands of users due to Know Your Customer rules because financial transactions will take place.Right now my approach was to do it manually because of small scale but if I want to go forward I realize this manual work will not make sense in the long run.So I wonder how do the other companies do it? Like Amazon for example, since they are working with millions of merchants, or Google and their Adsense and Adwords.I can understand some type of automatization that can use OCR to screen for name, address and crop a picture from ID or passport, possibly require user to submit selfie. But I do not see how that could be used to fill out business details or even verify the validity of submitted images. I can see a person reviewing the submitted scans and provided details and possibly tweak it by communicating with the user or request additional documents. But how do you automatize this? Is it even possibl
