xiayunsun··on Show HN: Extract Books Mentioned in Podcasts
yep of course; whisper.cpp for transcribing, gpt with structured output for book info extraction, meilisearch for the search, and cursor for writing all the code together (react + golang + some python scripts)
xiayunsun··on How to Build a Web App
rootbuilds.com is a project where I hope to explain how to build hard things like database, compiler, game engine, etc. The goal is to have a crisp language, focusing on fundamentals, and providing a great user experience (no cookies therefore no cookie banners!).

To ship some initial content, I chose to start with talking through how to build a web app. While it's much easier compared to the other topics I will write about next, the spirit is the same: clear, concise explanation, fast page load, in browser exercises, etc.

Thank you.
