Player Piano seems more apt
zkiihne··on Quality non-fiction books are the antithesis of AI slop
Not to be that guy but your site is terrible.

It does not do the most important function well, giving me a list of award winning books that is easy to sort through. It is not clear what is a link and what is not.

It looks fine though somewhat generic. But it is not actually functional in a real sense.

zkiihne··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
Automated website feedback with browser use + LLMs

I am building a tool that gives automated qualitative feedback on websites. This is the early and embarrassing MVP: https://vibetest-seven.vercel.app/product

You provide your URL and an LLM browses your site and writes up feedback. Currently working on increasing the quality of the feedback. Trying to start with a narrower set of tests that give what I think is good feedback, then increase from there.

If a tool like this analyzed your website, what would you actually want it to tell you? What feedback would be most useful?

I want this but an LLM.

zkiihne··on Everyone knows all the apps on your phone
I used QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES among other things for my app Limit Buddy (https://www.limitbuddy.com). It would be impossible to make the app without it. But for more normal use cases there's no reason to have it.

Apple has a much more robust solution privacy wise with their ScreenTime API but it makes an app like Limit Buddy much harder to build.

zkiihne··on Show HN: I built a modern Goodreads alternative
I would be much more interested in a Goodreads alternative that focuses on articles/substacks/newsletters etc.

There isn't a good way of sorting through all the stuff out there and I feel like I am missing a bunch of content worth reading as a result.

Out of curiosity how did you initially populate your site?
