Last year I started another version for Mo(vies):

https://namogenmo.github.io/

I wanted to keep the anything-goes spirit, so “movie” is defined really loosely. Anyone is free to join me, there’s still time this month!

You’re in luck, there’s new Connections as of 5 days ago!

Hey, I’ve been building that. It’s called A Personal Search Engine: https://apse.io

I’ve been working on exactly that! [0]

My info is in my hn profile, if you (or anyone reading) would like to chat about it.

I’ve been working on a very similar thing which runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux: https://apse.io

Founder here, I am happy to talk about it, my email is ryan at the submitted domain.

I run a similar project: https://apse.io

It runs locally on your laptop/desktop, so you don’t need a server to host anything.

Also, it can index everything you do, not just web content.

It works really well for me!

Any chance you’re thinking of APSE? I submitted a Show HN a while back.

I’ve been working on an app that’s pretty much exactly “the latter”! [0]

The amount of disk space it takes up isn’t crazy. It has been very useful for me.

> I want fonts to be made out of just a handful (at a minimum) of primitives -- e.g. here's a vertical stroke, a horizontal stroke, diagonal strokes, what various serif endings look like, here are what the bowls of letters look like, etc.

Tom7, who makes excellent videos about computers, has one about splitting letters up to create anagrams in this way.[0]

All of his videos are technically astounding, like the one where he frankensteined a raspberry pi into a game cartridge to play SNES games on a NES, or the one where he designed and built a computer using IEEE 754 NaN and infinity instead of 0 and 1.

Thanks!

You could block it at the firewall - same as you would for any application.

I built an application for exactly this. It's called A Personal Search Engine, APSE for short.[0]

It OCRs screenshots and stores the text in a search index, so you can query by keyword, date, boolean operators, the whole shebang.

It's all local. It is really useful for me - yesterday it saved me after Firefox wigged out and lost all my tabs. It's in a great place to try out, and I am actively developing it.

How about a local app? I am working on almost exactly what you're describing.

I made an application[0] that does capture your view. It's screenshot-based. It works outside of a browser too - anything on your screen. All local too, so no privacy concerns :)

I’ve been building essentially that, but more than just websites: https://apse.io. I am really pleased with how it works - just released v2.0!

I’ve been building an application to do this, except for everything on your computer! It’s called APSE[0], short for A Personal Search Engine.

I've been working on APSE[0], which does something similar. Everything's stored locally, so you'll never lose your archive.

I'm building something that does this. It lets you search text in images, video, local files, anything that comes across your screen. You can manually add e.g. web pages too.

It's at https://apse.io. It has been working really well for me. I'm happy to answer questions if that sounds interesting.

Could the bags-of-characters approach cause issues with anagrams having the same vector?

It would be surprising (to me) to get the same results for e.g. "strange" and "garnets".

I work a lot with image and video processing - this sounds like the kind of thing I'm interested in. Would you want to chat some time? Email is in my profile.

SEEKING WORK - Southern WI/Chicago - Remote OK - Travel possible

I'm Ryan, a software developer specializing in computer vision.

I help businesses work with imagery or video and use that imagery to create data products or get actionable information.

I have worked on projects ranging from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, to drone startups, to enterprise software shops.

Typical computer vision projects might involve object detection/recognition, deep learning, photogrammetry, LIDAR, remote sensing, drones, or more!

Whether you're looking to build an MVP or scale an existing system, I will help you ship a product that helps you hit your next milestone.

I'd love the opportunity to work together if things are a good fit. If you'd like to know more, check out my work or shoot me an email: https://foxrow.com.

SEEKING WORK - Southern Wisconsin/Chicago or remote

I develop computer vision and image processing software. Typical projects I work on are custom image recognition, data pipeline automation, or 3d modeling from imagery.

I've worked with drones, radioastronomy observatories, and space-based observing platforms.

If you have a project you'd like to discuss, whether you're dealing with photos, videos, or otherwise, please get in touch :)

> HFT is like that. So is reversing. So are like 10 other specialties I can think of.

What sort of specialties do you have in mind?

He was my favorite professor and that was my favorite class in college. I can't believe I discovered he has blog on hacker news, of all places.

If any undergrads at Madison are reading this, take his class. You definitely won't regret it.
