published dozens of TI-Basic and then C games (via tigcc) back in the day https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/78/7869.html

this was such an amazing way to learn programming

ai ayushhhhh

hosting a month-long residency for indie hackers in Da Nang, Vietnam!

we invited 10 of the best indie devs from around the world to live & build alongside us for a month at a beautiful villa. for free. (we have sponsors like OpenRouter, Cognition, n8n, and CodeRabbit!)

we're 10 days into our first batch – would love feedback :)

can't log into https://amazon.com either after logging out; so many downstream issues

an alternate to exporting kindle ebooks: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/kindle-ai-export

thanks, nadis :)

love zoxide; been using it for a long while as a replacement for built-in `cd`

definitely; our main goal is to see how much we can accomplish in a month and do a mini social demo day at the end. more info in our faq https://www.hackerresidencygroup.com/faq

really excited to see what hf0's container concept is like in a completely different country :)

i really like the saying "talent is uniformly distributed; opportunity is not"

this is def an experiment and our first time doing anything like this in SE asia, but i'm personally really excited to see who this attracts, and i just hope it ends up as a semi-organized non-shitshow ;)

Hey HN,

I've partnered w/ indie hacking legends Tony Dinh and Minh-Phuc Tran to host a new type of month-long Hacker Residency at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam, this November, 2025.

*This is an experiment*

We're looking for 10 experienced devs who want to lock in with us for a month to take their startup / indie game to the next level!

We're also looking for some select sponsors who align w/ our mission to help us cover our costs (program is free for residents unless you've taken venture funding, and includes housing, cleaning, catering, laundry, etc for the month).

Would love to hear your thoughts!

We're inviting 10 hackers to come live & build with us at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam for a whole month this November, 2025.

We're offering this for FREE (taking no equity or rev share or costs) as an experiment because we're all passionate about the indie hacker lifestyle and want to shine an aspirational spotlight on it. I went through HF0 in SF, and the vibes are heavily inspired by that experience.

Applications open now && lemme know if you have any questions.

this blog post was a delight to read. great work, colin && thanks!!

love this reference :)

literally spent all day playing with this until I ran out of image gen capacity a lil while ago.

so much fun.

this animation really makes the difference hit home: https://x.com/_akhaliq/status/1900027075370586262

"HashiCorp's capabilities drive significant synergies across multiple strategic growth areas for IBM, including Red Hat, watsonx, data security, IT automation and Consulting"

this sounds like corporate AI slop

https://github.com/getgrit/gritql is the best large-scale codemod / refactoring tool I've ever used.

Where's the actual repo for the fork?

It's not linked to anywhere and not listed under the flutter github org...

Why? Because OpenAI's version uses JS.. but it's 2024 and every JS/TS dev expects typing to "just work" – especially for APIs released by multi-billion-dollar companies.

• strongly-typed, drop-in replacement for OpenAI's JS version

• all events and handlers are properly typed

• lots of subtle bug fixes (strong typing FTW!)

• includes a simple relay server

• includes several node.js examples

• includes OpenAI's realtime console demo

• 100% open source

Would love feedback from the HN JS/TS community && thanks!

I had a lot of fun w/ this project :)

It works by logging into your Kindle web reader account using Playwright, exporting each page of a book as a PNG image, and then using a vLLM (gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini) to transcribe the text from each page to text. Once we have the raw book contents and metadata, then it's easy to convert it to PDF, EPUB, etc.

The repo supports a few different options for TTS providers to generate audiobooks from the resulting text.

Would love feedback && thanks!

With the TC39 Signals Proposal reaching Stage 1, I wanted to do a deep-dive on the most popular reactive TS libs, benchmark them, and explore some of their design tradeoffs.

I received a very similar automated email from the same dev. Marked it as spam right away:

Hey Travis,

Checked out the Next.js Notion Starter Kit. Amazing project!

Noticed you might be juggling multiple tools to manage content. Ever thought about a headless CMS that can streamline this?

Wisp might be a handy solution. Let me know what you think!

Cheers, Raymond

wrote a bit about how I view the agent space. mostly aimed at a non-technical audience, but I do "delve" into some more concrete examples and predictions in the longer blog post version. btw this blog post started our as my mission statement when I was working on Agentic during HF0, so just happy to have finally published it.

would love any feedback :)

The skateboard pics are amazing :) you look so happy

AI code reviews are promising, BUT they're hard to control and currently all closed source.

That's why I built GPTLint.

It's an automated code review tool powered by both ASTs and LLMs – the best part is it's a 100% OSS standard that works w/ any LLM.

HN folks might be interested in checking out the built-in rules: https://gptlint.dev/rules and how it works: https://gptlint.dev/project/how-it-works

This is how I've solved this problem for myself: by using monthly playlists as a forcing function to motivate myself to find new music every month, where the whole ends up being greater than the sum of it's parts: https://transitivebullsh.it/my-10-year-music-diary

What're your thoughts on using the "GPT" prefix for open source projects? If they're successful, will OpenAI go after them, and can they actually enforce this trademark?

wow I'm getting old
