Interesting... I built an MCP server for their initial browser render as markdown, and I just tell the LLM to follow reasonable links to relative content, and recurse the tool.

I notice that PlanetScale has a Developer Educator position available. Has anyone sent that to Aaron Francis yet? He might be interested.

This is really good!

After they ditched there free tier, it became basically untenable to justify trying Planetscale for $30 (USD as well) on a POC or MVP product, and it also felt like you were paying a lot for unneeded hardware.

I went backpacking last year for only a little over a month. Absolute pain in my chest when someone who I'd gotten to known over the past few days said it was their last day lol.

I see this quite a lot via Copilot using Claude. It'll just get stuck on a token for a while.

Obsidian just being markdown files

You're like the caricature of what other social media platforms represent HN users to be.

It's not that it's going down, the article suggests that it slows.

If I lose 20 kilo's, my "biological age" might go down 2 years, but that doesn't mean it's "slowed"

I despise working with Nuget. Whether it's a restore, managing your csproj, or publishing packages, compared to NPM it's an absolute mess.

I think about it like this...

Fundamentally, I believe it's how they want to be treated culturally, but in our society, we tie gender and sex so closely together, that to be treated the way you want to be treated culturally in society, you need to change some of the sex based features you have.

In a better society, a medical approach wouldn't be needed. In our society, we _should_ accept that it is.

That's my opinion, and it's a pretty weakly held opinion, someone could dissuade me from it.

Validation tools will also tell you if you have an H1 in a <section>, but no H1 outside of the section, because the <section> actually creates it's own scope, thus your page has no H1.

Frankly bundlephobia gives me more information that I care about... "How much is the end user going to have to download, parse and execute".

They says sponsored by Vercel and Upstash, but in the repo, it just says hosting and database "sponsored" by them. Are they just using the free tier???

Yep. It isn't just a less usable web, it's a less safe web. But anything for those sweet ad dollars.

At this point, if you know how the box model works and the difference between margin and padding, you're ahead of 50% of "frontend developers".

Annoying there's no sqlite option. Not enough money in it? Difficult?

Bought a new Macbook recently and tried most of these. Ghostty seems really good. It _just works_. Helix is pretty cool, also feels like it _just works_ versus something like base nvim (although I'd start with kickstart.nvim). Maybe I should give Fish a go.

Zed's pretty much fully replaced VSCode on my Macbook, but that's not new, it's been my daily driver for months.

An honorable mention from me is Zellij. Feels a lot more user friendly to beginners than tmux.

Agreed. I think I saw it on twitter, quick squiz of the first couple points and then closed it. Was surprised to see it on HN.

Even modern currency isn't free of being a market for speculation.

It's not as extreme as cryptocurrency, but forex trading is a thing, and honestly the sways of USD to other currencies are meaninful enough to take into consideration when moving money internationally.

Literally says "Monthly Costs" in the green panel on the right that calculates the total.

The new Dom stuff looks really cool. I had to work with the previous functions a couple months ago and it was terrible. New API looks nice.

I mean, Cloudflare's done a lot of work in polyfilling a lot of node_compat stuff.

The only one is generally password hashing. At this point, I just run up a service binding to a rust worker and hash it over there.

Laravel's answer to the popularity of that style of UI library.

Ah it's definitely not (significantly cheaper than ElevenLabs), but I was expecting ElevenLabs to be better because I hadn't read (or seen anything suggesting) it was a worse model, but it makes sense.

I've used this, and the main ElevenLabs service. The reader has to be using a very very cheap model, it sounds worse than the Azure service (which isn't bad).

It's better than traditional text to speech, but I can't use it to listen to long form articles.

Enter should submit the form from the input. One of my biggest pet peeves. It's not even within a form tag :'(

WHY IS THE "SEE THE CODE ON GITHUB" NOT AN ANCHOR TAG! DO YOU UNDERSTAND BASIC SEMANTICS? DO YOU REALLY NEED TO NAVIGATE VIA JAVASCRIPT FOR A STATIC LINK? WHY CAN'T I MIDDLE CLICK TO OPEN IN A NEW TAB? BECAUSE YOU USED A BUTTON!

WHY IS THERE NO LABEL FOR THE MAIN INPUT. JUST CHUCK SR-ONLY ON THE LABEL ELEMENT, LINK IT TO THE INPUT, AT LEAST THEN IT'LL BE MILDLY ACCESSIBLE. PLACEHOLDERS AREN'T A 100% ANSWER TO DESCRIBE WHAT AN INPUT SHOULD BE DOING.

Don't get me started on the mobile design.

There. Non-LLM Roasts. But also some nitpicks. Otherwise, pretty cool.

So I work on a similar project in my spare time, but have just settled for Azure's Text to Speech service.

What I'm actually interested in is your pricing model. Why do you have constraints on characters AND articles, versus just characters? Does doing the conversion cost a static amount that you don't want someone making 10000 requests a month? Or is the article count and hours of audio just an estimation of the 600,000 character limit?

If it's just an estimate of real usage of the actual 600,000 character limit, then I'd try and word it differently, otherwise I feel like I'm going to be heavily constrained by the platform.

I wonder if it's not following redirects well

Is this open sourced anywhere by any chance? Are you using GPT to do the conversion, or just doing it yourself by ways of HTML -> Markdown substitutions?

Funnily enough, the fact that PG's website is archaic actually pushed me to parse a lot of legacy tags that I'd never had to use in that way.
