Thanks for the feedback, will get that added in

Regarding the AI, this is a machine-trained agent. Basically you start of with a bot with zero understanding of how to player poker - it’s presented with the available moves (eg call, check, fold, raise etc) and initially it just picks one at random, and records both the game state and result. So when it first tries to play, it has absolutely no idea what it’s doing any loses badly. However, it learns a little from each game it plays, and gradually, over the course of literally millions more games of poker, it learns how to beat the opposition. It has an awareness of the overall game state, rather than the specific hand it holds and eventually learns that the opposition may fold it it raises, regardless of the cards on the table

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback - will go through it all properly as soon as I get the chance

Hi,

I've just launched the beta version of PokerHelper.app - its a deep-learning backed poker assistant for Texas holdem that provides recommendations for the best possible next move, given your current cards and hand situation.

Unlike other poker assistant apps that use maths to calculate hand strength, Poker Helper's use of deep learning is capable of bluffing, and is aware that other AIs may also bluff, too.

Poker Helper is currently completely free while in Beta, as the AI is not yet 100% production ready. It is currently capable of beating average human players and many other AIs, and I've managed to make some money playing poker online with this app already, but it will be refined further before the paid version is launched.

Thanks for looking, Chris

Hi all,

A few months ago, I posted about my startup idea, Bail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22250962

I've now finished building the application, as an integration with Google Calendars, and its just passed the Google oAuth verification process.

My original post got a lot of attention, both positive and negative. I'm interested to see how the conversation goes this time, now the actual app exists.

I'm aware that this is a terrible time to launch, given most people will have cancelled most of their plans due to COVID-19 anyway, but interested to hear feedback regardless

Thanks for looking, Chris

I'm leaning towards a setup where its a calendar integration where you and your friend may have no idea if the other even has the app installed.

Yeah, a number of people have suggested that similar things have been proposed but have never got off the ground.

I did wonder that. Personally, I put social events in my calendar but don't specifically invite the other people to it. I'm still validating the concept, but am initially leaning towards this being more of an integration with calendar services, particularly facebook where people probably do have common invites

Yep, making no attempt to claim this idea as my own. But just saw it had huge traction

I've also seen a similar one about wanting to get out of your marriage. Some people have questioned the antisocial aspect of the concept, but at least its more light hearted than that...

The idea is that if you bail and they don't, they'll never find out and your plans will remain uncancelled.

But if you both decide you no longer want to meet up, you no longer have to, and nobody gets offended

Hi, I created a quick landing page to validate an idea for an app.

I'll be honest, the idea isn't mine. I saw it suggested in a Twitter post which had huge traction, and decided to run with it.

At the moment I'm just trying to refine the concept and get an idea of whether there really is space for something like this out there

Might be absolutely right about this - thanks for the feedback. Will probably start with a google integration in the first instance. As you can probably tell, this concept is still in its infancy

Hi, I recently launched notably. Notably is a simple way of sharing text snippets which supports markdown format. Every note creates has its own unique link that can be shared with anyone. It’s currently completely free and doesn’t require any signup

This isn't really intended to do the same thing as gist

It was never really my intention to disable edits in these cases - there is no separate view for editing/viewing notes. I am considering adding a lock to stop people editing the same note simultaneously, but I've got no plans to disable the edit button at the moment

this is a good point, will get some safeguards in place

this is actually true. I've just pushed a small change to change this now

Thanks for the feedback:

1. The backend is graphql/django/postgres and yes, the notes are currently being preserved indefinitely. At some point I might add a cron job to remove the empty ones

2. I'm thinking of adding a notebook option eventually, but still considering the best way of doing this in terms of not compromising the current look and feel, which I like the simplicity of

3. for these three points - the markdown editor itself is an open source solution () and not my own creation, so these issues are limitations of this library. I may fork it and make some fixes at a later date, although some of these issues may be fixable with simple css

4. good point, i'll try to implement some kind of a lock here

Thanks for the feedback! The markdown editor itself is actually just an open source solution, its not my own creation: https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor

I use the Vue implementation of the above library, which is here: https://github.com/F-loat/vue-simplemde

i'm actually not able to reproduce you're issue on either of my android devices

thanks for the heads up, checking now...

Hi, I just launched notably. It's a simple app that lets you share any kind of text note, and supports markdown syntax

I created this mostly as a way of sharing notes between other developers. We use MS Teams at work and the interface for copying and pasting code snippets in and out of there is terrible

Notably requires no sign up - you can just create and share notes straight away. It's also completely free

Yep, there are a whole bunch out there already for REST, but not really anything for GraphQL that I’m aware of, which is the main reason I built this

Hi all,

I just launched my new side project, GraphBox

GraphBox allows you to provision a GraphQL API in a matter of moments for prototyping, testing and mocking purposes

I created this project as I've seen a number of similar apps that provide the same thing for REST APIs, but I haven't really seen anything for GraphQL, which has grown in popularity massively in recent times and I think there might be space in the market for something like this.

Thanks for looking,

Chris

There is also pypiserver, pip2pi and EggBasket

This is actually the Vuetify dashboard rather than the angular one. Its built on a fairly straightforward web pack/vuetify configuration and I quite like the arrangement.

no, as there are plenty of OS tools for that

I'm not familiar with bundler
