Sam and Dario was standing next to each other and led to this awkward moment.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: OffChess – Offline chess puzzles app
Hey , i would also suggest posting in r/chess
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: OffChess – Offline chess puzzles app
This was a swift app. I wanted a bit more native feel and didn't go for react native.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: OffChess – Offline chess puzzles app
Yeah , that's fair. More than promotion i was trying to suggest i had also built something similar and kind of understand the product space. It's this dev thing, can't shake it off i guess. But i get what you meant.

Apart from that i have a theory that there is a lot of ML based ranking and classification that is happening at the backend.

I posted this

``` Hi ,Congrats on the launch. I built a free iOS app also which has chess puzzles.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/knighty-chess-puzzles/id674524...

Would appreciate feedback. ```

Not sure if that's why it was moved to `stub for off topicness`. I wonder if it is some kind of categorisation logic based on text.

Thanks man. I would also suggest creating a leaderboard with XP for gamification
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: HN client app that remembers reading history
Thanks. Currently i am using the HN api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) . It's a read only API and doesn't support writes. I heard that might be away to do this with a webview initially, haven't explored that yet.

Isn’t it advice from YC itself to launch multiple times :)
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: HackerNewt – Breadth-first exploring HN client for iOS
You can checkout h for hacker news. It has a search API over algolia.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: HackerNewt – Breadth-first exploring HN client for iOS
Congrats on the launch.

I built a similar app with search functionality and bookmarking some time back

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/h-for-hacker-news/id6744145932

This was primarily built as a way to learn building apps. I went for a style similar to the website and tapping the comment closes the parent comment.

krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: Chat with 19 years of HN
I asked what's the best time to make a show HN post and got the below output.

When should you hit “Submit” on your Show HN? TL;DR The historical data say your odds of going viral improve when you post:

Saturday 18 UTC (≈ 2 PM US-Eastern, 11 AM US-Pacific)

Early Sunday 02 – 04 UTC (Saturday evening in the Americas)

Week-day late morning UTC, especially

Tuesday 11 – 15 UTC (7 – 11 AM US-Eastern)

Wednesday 15 UTC

Friday 12 – 14 UTC

These slots combine the highest average scores with a healthy number of past posts, meaning success isn’t due to just a few outliers.

Cool project. I too did something similar , built a HN client app for iPhone

krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: I built Libris.fm – 10000+ free, human-narrated audiobooks
Yeah, the app is highly misleading and many people think they are official. I echo your sentiment on ads, that was one of the reason that pushed me to build this app as well.

Cool project. I am going to use this for a personal project for sure.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: Yet another client app for reading Hacker News
Hey All,

I am trying to learn building apps. I came across the public API of HN and tried to build an app around it. Let me know what you folks think.

krishnasangeeth··on 4o Image Generation
Really liked the fact that the team shared all the shortcomings of the model in the post. Sometimes products just highlights the best results and isn't forthcoming in areas that need improvement. Kudos to the OpenAI team on that.

Cool project.
krishnasangeeth··on Freestyle chess positions where white has significant advantage from beginning
While Freestyle is being suggested as a superior format, there appears to be some issues with it such as few starting positions which gives significantly more advantage to white than black. Figured this out by running the starting position against the `stockfish` engine.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: I built a movie recommendation app
Is this some form of similarity matching on the plot synopsis? Could you describe what's under the hood?
krishnasangeeth··on Gukesh becomes the youngest chess world champion in history
IMHO Gukesh is a great role model for everyone. Determination and humility shining right through. Though I really like Ding, it just felt that Gukesh was pushing more for a win in all the games and probably deserve this slightly more.

Now hope that Magnus comes back into Candidates and we we have a Gukesh vs Magnus match in 2026.

This is wild. I am surprised at how fast you are able to get the response. I believe you can also do a whisper decoding for videos that doesn't have transcripts.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: AI-Driven Document Processing
Hi, Do you know if LLMs outperform pretrained models such as LayoutLMs that were earlier used heavily in this space.
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: Handinger – API to extract data from the Internet
Hi, Congrats on launching the product.

Curious to know how you arrived at this pricing which looks really good. I have experienced that a larger cost in systems like these are the data transfer costs. Would be great if you could share some insights on that too.

krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: FinetuneDB – AI fine-tuning platform to create custom LLMs
Nice product overall. I had some feedback and questions

feedback :

1. Since you guys have support for multiple models, it would be cleaner and more correct to give the API some name which doesn't start with openAI.

2. sdk using other languages like Python in `show code` would be nice.

3. It was a bit confusing to figure out how to fine tune the model, would be nice if it was explicitly available as a side pane.

Questions:

1. Can you speak a bit about your tech stack if that's alright

2. How do you currently scale inference if there is more incoming requests coming in?

Turing award and now Nobel prize in physics, something which he would have never expected. What an amazing career!
krishnasangeeth··on Show HN: Termichess – Play chess in your terminal
> I think I should shrink the size of my terminal window.Or can you make everything smaller?

So the board shrinks down as you reduce the size of window. Currently there is an issue in the chess pieces scaling down in size if we reduce the size of terminal. Showing images properly is quite tricky in terminal, hope to get to it sometime later this week.

> Need Keyboard support.

That's also something on my mind. Do you have any specific scenario in mind. I was thinking of hotkeys or chess notation as input.

Aaah, I wish i could edit that title now.

There was some trouble in scaling unicode text within the layout. Unfortunately increasing `font-size` is not trivial within the context of terminal. There are some ways around this , but i figured out that it's far more easier to render chess pieces as pixel images using `rich-pixels` [1]
