I've made a bot[0] for HN that posts whatever enters the top 10, summarizes it with AI and posts it on textlog[1], and so I get the fresh news like little summary notes and decide if it's worth my time. Bonus is I receive a notification on my phone because I follow it.

Thanks! Purely text. Inline images/etc. can be supported by someone building a browser extension. I wanted to keep the core distraction free.

No likes, no karma points, no unnecessary notifications, no JS "X new posts" popups, no engagement trickery, no gamification. Just sharing thoughts and replying to others.

it's gpt 5.6 sol actually, credit where credit's due

lol Yes enshittification is the thing I want to avoid, so hard decisions need to be made that will not make everybody happy. Still, this is open-source[0], so we can open a discussion (ideally alongside a PR) and evolve it.

I'm considering raising to 500. Care enough to open an issue[0] so that maybe there is a discussion we can track?

haha, yeah good idea. Also customize the theme as others wanted. So many opportunities here. :P

Hey, nice! If you want to try it, we have an API[0] you can pull your user feed from!

[0]: https://textlog.cc/api

It picks up your system theme, so you can't be dark mode hater since you're already using it for your OS :P i didn't want to complicate it with user settings yet, but it can be added if there is demand.

Already there[0], and also an API[1] to build things on top! And it's all open-source[2], so if we miss something we can add it.

Thank you!

Uhm maybe your client visits the magic link eagerly and when you visit it manually it's already been used?

It needs to be short - there is already a limit that worked well - why bikeshed it more?

Why not, try it :)

Hi, thanks! There is a lot of nuance on the rendered pages, I figured server-side React was the best choice - plus it's a technology I'm comfortable with and might also encourage contributions.

Hi, I'm sorry you don't like the limitation :( this is for short thoughts you want to share, not really huge conversations, there are better places for that IMO.

It's chatroulette-style interview matching, essentially what matters here are the vibes during the interview to make a decision, hence "only vibes".

I'm working on https://hallucinate.site - an MMO Rave - doing little things every day and trying to improve experience for everyone. We've had some spikes of users over the past two weeks but it's still very low. Thinking of ways to make it more engaging so that people return for more things other than the music.

They can! Through AI and a PR :)

In a sense, this whole game has been hallucinated by an AI since it's vibe-coded entirely with GPT 5.5.

Thanks! I'm open to suggestions, right now I'm improving the experience every day a little. It's also open-source[0] so contributions are welcome.

Why not? It is open-source[0] so this can be added by anyone interested in this.

But IMO a major component of the experience is seeing a DJ playing on the stage, which is why all of the videos are from HÖR Berlin[1] where this is their format.

We are selling T-shirts if you saw and there is a donation pill bottom right :)

It's inspired by Berlin spaces and raves yeah! The music is also from HÖR Berlin.

And photos allowed! :)

It's a VR world recreation of a rave party. There is no signup, just a nickname.

Ya I predicted it will go on the front page and everybody will like it. Aside from that, getting to this point required hundreds of *correct* design decisions that require skill. The AI isn't going to produce this on its own. Go ahead and try.

Thanks! All contributions/ideas are welcome. Maybe open an issue on the GitHub repository where it can be discussed with some suggestions?

Thanks! Your points are fair. I work very differently solo than when I am in a team, I can produce very detailed, fine-grained and scoped commits/PRs and I do so when I am in that situation. Doing it while I am working on a solo prototype would simply slow me down and my concern at that point is velocity, not code quality.

This repo specifically has been vibe-coded in its entirety. The LLM put those magic numbers there and I agree it's not an ideal situation, but I'm not the one reading them/making changes to the code so it doesn't matter that much. Initially it had produced a giant main.ts file and then I told it split it to files and that's what it did. Managing an LLM-based-repository and managing a human-friendly repository are two very different things.

I have another ~500 repos on GitHub, you should taken a look at a few humanly-written as well for the feedback to be accurate of my situation.
