Show HN: Dabdab – Streaming Noteshttps://dabdab.org/Hi! I'd like to present a project I've been working on lately to make an app to record thought process the way it fits me.I think current note taking solutions are a poor fit for the cases where you just want do dump your thoughts on a topic quickly or where time when a note has been taken actually matters or in cases like science where you want to keep a log of actions to be able to troubleshoot or reproduce your experimentI've built my own thing - dabdab.org. You can think of it as a baby of twitter and google keep of sorts but without all social features of twitter.The base concept is a stream of messages, streams can be nested and have additional fields defined, you can make things public if you want to, but it's decided per stream and you can even share by link. It's useful for all kinds of observations and data recording. I've been using it for the last two months and it works great for me.For example I have streams to store quotes from books with my comments on them, do a quick Apr 6, 2023 9:05 AM

Launch HN: Metal (YC W23) – Embeddings as a Servicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35341514Hey HN! We’re Taylor, James and Sergio – the founders of Metal (https://www.getmetal.io/). You can think of Metal as embeddings as a service. We help developers use embeddings without needing to build out infrastructure, storage, or tooling. Here’s a 2-minute overview: https://www.loom.com/share/39fb6df7fd73469eaf20b37248ceed0fIf you’re unfamiliar with embeddings, they are representations of real world data expressed as a vector, where the position of the vector can be compared to other vectors – thereby deriving meaning from the data. They can be used to create things like semantic search, recommender systems, clustering analysis, classification, and more.Working at companies like Datadog, Meta, and Spotify, we found it frustrating to build ML apps. Lack of tooling, infrastructure, and proper abstraction made working with ML tedious and slow. To get features out the door we’ve had to build data ingestion pipelines from scratch, manually maintain live customer datasets, build observabiMar 28, 2023 2:18 PM

Show HN: Ingest data from your customers (Prequel YC W21)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35170410Hey HN! Charles here from Prequel (https://prequel.co). We just launched the ability for companies to import data from their customer’s data warehouse or database, and we wanted to share a little bit more about it with the community.If you just want to see how it works, here’s a demo of the product that Conor recorded: https://www.loom.com/share/4724fb62583e41a9ba1a636fc8ea92f1.Quick background on us: we help companies integrate with their customer’s data warehouse or database. We’ve been busy helping companies export data to their customers – we’re currently syncing over 40bn rows per month on behalf of companies. But folks kept on asking us if we could help them import data from their customers too. They wanted the ability to offer a 1st-party reverse ETL to their customers, similar to the 1st-party ETL capability we already helped them offer. So we built that product, and here we are.Why would people want to import data? There are actually plenty of use-cases here. Imagine a usage-bMar 15, 2023 4:04 PM

JUICE’s suite of instruments will allow scientists to thoroughly explore and characterize the moons, each of which is thought to feature large bodies of liquid water beneath their surfaces — creating potentially habitable environments for life.Mar 13, 2023 3:13 PM

How we built a social network with No-Codehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35070143In the Fall of last year, we launched a social network for college students with No-Code.Here’s how we did it:Last summer (after having conversations with a few dozen college students), we stumbled across a very interesting insight:*80% of college students aren’t on Facebook anymore*.Sure, tools like Snapchat and Instagram exist that represent someone’s social graph, but there isn’t a central place for students to go get guidance from other peers. For students to even do simple transactions like exchanging textbooks, finding roommates, or buying sports tickets is messy.This gave us the idea that just maybe students were hungry for a new social network to fill the void Facebook left behind.Our goal was to create a digital community where students could discuss campus life, discover housing options, and buy/sell from other students.### Step 1: Build the PlatformTo make this happen, we started by setting up a (Circle)[https://circle.so/] community specifically for our first college, the UMar 8, 2023 3:27 PM

Show HN: Web Digest – Collection of (daily) big stories on the webhttps://webdigest.pages.dev/I hate browsing news apps and news websites. It is a time-consuming, energy-draining, and information-overloading experience. There are endless articles to read if one is to read something. The journalism industry, including the UGC aspect of it, produces contents significantly more than what an ordinary human can process (or even decide which to process).However, I do find the fear of missing out a real problem which should be addressed, or even solved, and solving it with an illusion of not missing out is good enough. One has to be very selective in reading, otherwise one would be drown in the flood of information. I find it necessary to limit the size of readable contents and repel the creators/editors/platforms who tempt me to read more and more endlessly. Being long is not a problem for me, but having an unknown length is.Hence this project was brought forth onto this world.

Launch HN: IcePanel (YC W23) – Onboard engineers with explorable system designshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338995Hey HN, Victor and Jacob here. We’re excited to show you what we’ve been building over the last couple of years! IcePanel (https://icepanel.io) helps architects and developers easily explain how their software works with interactive and explorable diagrams.Modern systems are complicated, and getting new developers up to speed and contributing fully is time-consuming and difficult. It costs the new developer's time, as well as the time of the senior first/second generation developers who help them constantly through their first 6 months. The resources people use to learn new systems are usually scattered across a maze of artefacts, like confluence pages or outdated draw.io diagrams, which are usually incomplete, with the ‘real’ understanding of the system being tribal knowledge in the team. As discussed in yesterday’s post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34328069 “documentation only works up to a point” and we believe this is due to docs being disconnected from the code.

This is my idea/vision of how a public health infrastrcture could look/work.

The main problems I see are that... 1: Mental Health is to "reactionary".

Show HN: Aliasing as Art – Moiré Patternshttp://www.nukacourt.com/moire.htmlI've found myself focusing on all the chaos going on in the world to an extent that's not healthy. So I decided to make some art that tries to find a little beauty in what otherwise seems chaotic.This is based on the concept of aliasing[1]. That's exactly what anti-aliasing is normally trying to address in computer graphics, but here aliasing is leveraged to generate interesting visuals. It took some doing to overpower the anti-aliasing that browsers insist on doing. If you look at the JS embedded in the HTML, you'll see that it's nothing more than ~4,000 straight lines being drawn from the center of the window to the edge of the circle that circumscribes the corners of the window. Those lines alternate between cyan and purple, all on a yellow background. The elaborate patterns are merely interactions between the jaggies[2] of adjacent lines. If you want to get more intuition for this, try downloading the source and increasing the increment size in the loop (i.e., the `milliradians += Nov 21, 2022 9:00 AM
