2. Show HN: Ambiphone, no-nonsense ambient music and white noise
Author: matteason
Description: I built this free, no-nonsense white noise app. I know there are plenty of them out there already, but I wanted to make something beautiful and easy-to-use, without logins or ads or in-app purchases or any of the other stuff a lot of them have.
I appeared on The Economist's The Intelligence podcast [0] this week talking about Ambiphone and another ambient music project, Ambient ScotRail Beats [1] - I'm on at about 17:30
There's a big selection of music and sounds already but I'm always adding more - if there's anything you'd like to see added, let me know!

URL: https://uptrace.dev/blog/uptrace-v16.html
Author: vmihailenco
Description: Uptrace is an open source APM that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. You can use it to monitor applications and troubleshoot issues.
The latest v1.6 release adds support for service graphs, Prometheus remote write, Grafana data source for Prometheus, annotations, and much more.
The main feature in this release is the ability to use Uptrace as a Prometheus data source in Grafana. Uptrace uses the original Prometheus engine, so all Prometheus queries should be supported and you should be able to use existing Grafana dashboards with the Uptrace data source.
You can learn more in the linked blog post or ask your questions here in the comments.

9. Show HN: No ads, no login website to track work hours
URL: https://www.timemygrind.com/
Author: start123
Description: Since I went remote(working) last year, I found it hard to track my work/focus hours. To begin with, I started with my mobile stopwatch but found it to be inefficient and distracting. I then tried some time management tools online but they were geared towards enterprises than individuals. Plus, had too many features.
So, last weekend I created https://www.timemygrind.com/ - a simple focus time tracking tool that requires no login, no internet and has no ads. Once you finish your work, it shows the times in the table below.
I usually pause when I take a break or go out for lunch and has helped me figure out how productive I am.
Eventually, I will add more features but would like to hear your thoughts on this and remote work productivity in general.

11. Show HN: Customize your right-click menu with your own commands
URL: https://smudge.ai
Author: seabass
Description: Hi, HN! Excited to share a Chrome Extension I've been working on in my spare time. In short, it lets you create your own right-click menu commands that are executed by GPT-4. There are a few built-in commands for common tasks like summarization and correcting text, but my hope is that people get creative and customize it with their own, more tailored commands.
The idea came from one of those recipe websites with pages of SEO filler content and ads everywhere. I ended up copying/pasting the full text of a recipe into ChatGPT with a prompt like "Extract a list of ingredients and cooking instructions from this recipe" and GPT did a great job distilling that content. Figured it'd be a great use case for a Chrome Extension so that I could run that command without the copy/paste step. Of course, now you can make all kinds of commands (not just cooking ones) but I still use the original recipe one pretty regularly! Hope you find it useful, too!

Description: To learn OpenAI’s APIs a bit better (but mostly for fun), I made this image matching/prompting game.
The idea is to generate a matching image using a prompt with limited input. You’ll have 3 tries. A new image and leaderboard is automatically reset daily.

14. Show HN: A Ghidra extension that turns programs back into object files
URL: https://github.com/boricj/ghidra-delinker-extension
Author: boricj
Description: Hi all, I've been working on tooling that can reverse the work of a linker. It allows one to take bits and pieces of an executable and delink them into working object files, which can then be reused as-is to make new programs or libraries, without having to decompile or disassemble them first.
The readme has links to my blog demonstrating some of the use-cases. The most impressive one so far is making a port of a ~100 KiB Linux a.out i386 program to a native Windows PE i386 executable, despite not having access to its original source code or even decompiling it.
Currently, 32-bit i386 and MIPS instruction sets are supported, with exportation to ELF object files. Additional ISAs and object file formats can be added by writing a relocation synthesizer and an exporter, respectively.

Author: keyurraval18
Description: Hey HN,
The journey from a SaaS idea to a working prototype can be a long, winding road. My partner Shyam and I, with years of startup experience under our belts, have faced this repeatedly. We struggled with building a foundation for our projects - it's daunting and takes your focus away from what truly matters, your brilliant ideas.
To bridge this gap, we've cooked up something that we're thrilled to share with you today - SaaSKits.
SaaSKits is a simple, efficient boilerplate to kickstart your SaaS ideas. It's built using Remix, Stripe, Prisma, and Resend, designed to free you from the nitty-gritty of setting up a project, so you can get straight to building your product.
No more stress over starting from scratch. No more wasting days on initial codebases. Just your ideas, accelerated with SaaSKits.
We look forward to your feedback, and can't wait to see what you build with SaaSKits!
To quicker launches and big dreams,
Keyur

22. Show HN: Generate custom AI podcast recaps and turn them into a newsletter
Author: dojob
Description: Hi HN - I love podcasts. I listen to them whenever I can. Yet I don’t know how people listen to more than a few per week, especially when the episodes are multiple hours long. I made Podmob so I don’t have to miss out on useful insights if I don’t have time to listen to every podcast I’d like to.
Podmob uses AI to generate recaps for any podcast episode. You can choose between a few styles and lengths of the recaps you want to generate (paragraphs, chapters, bullet points, top quotes). Podmob sends a recap to your email as soon as a new episode is released for any podcast you follow or you can also recap individual episodes as well.
A few other features that I have found to be helpful:
1. Citations: You can click on any insight or quote Podmob generates for an episode and see it in the context of the episode transcript. You can flip through all the sources used to generate a given bullet point and start listening to the episode from any one of them.
2. Audio recaps: All Podmob generated recaps also come voice enabled. Podmob can create a custom RSS feed so you can listen to all your recaps in any podcast player.
3. AI Q&A. I have found recaps and citations cover about 90% of the content of an episode, however there are times when you want to dive further into a certain topic. Each episode comes with its own AI assistant to ask questions to or generate custom insights/summaries from the episode. This is a paid only feature for now to save on costs.
You can see an example of a recap here ( https://www.podmob.com/p/1545953110/e/1a1a3dd8-db64-49f3-956... ) and there is a free tier where you can follow two podcasts and get two individual recap credits. The paid options are to cover api costs for the time being.
Give it a try and let me know what you think! Ultimately this is not intended to replace listening to the podcasts you love — nothing will beat that. And obviously some genres are better suited than others (LLMs aren’t great at comedy, for example). However I have found this is a useful filter to see which episodes you want to listen to, as well as a “some is better than none” for the podcasts you wouldn’t have time to listen to anyway.

23. Show HN: Build a Google Analytics in Go
URL: https://dominicstpierre.com/product/build-a-google-analytics-in-go?coupon=REDDIT
Author: dstpierre
Description: My 2nd Go course is officially out. For that one, I use a more hands-on approach. In the course, we build a full website analytics tool from scratch to deployment.
The technology used is Go, TypeScript, Docker, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse.
I wanted to demonstrate why Go and ClickHouse for analytics can perform decently for high volume / high traffic sites.
The dashboard is a CLI with bar graphs, pie charts, and data tables.
The link has a 30% discount, and I fully adhere to Purchasing Power Parity, so it's possible to get a fair price based on country.
I hope this sounds interesting. I had a great time building the course and using the analytics on my side projects.

38. Show HN: Signals Collector ETA data from mongo/Postgres to Kafka
URL: https://github.com/turbolytics/signals-collector
Author: dm03514
Description: Hello! As a software engineer I've become very frustrated with the state of the modern data stack and the state of data teams.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/draining-data-lake-part-1-3-p...
Many outputs of data teams are aggregated medium cardinality tables usually at the day grain. The modern data stack uses ETL tools to copy operational data stores to datalakes where the raw operational data is then refined, over multiple stages, into these aggregate tables.
After working in this stack for 3+ years, I think it has fundamental limitations and the approach lags decade+ behind software engineering best practices.
I created Signals Collector to provide a low friction way to collect and aggregate data at the source before loading into a datalake/datawarehouse.
The goal of signals collector is to be a verifiable, observable, and maintainable component in a software stack, able to generate aggregate data used for insights.
Signals Collector queries and aggregates data at the source (using postgres SQL and mongo aggregations and prometheus API + duckdb).
Signals Collector is MIT license. If you're interested in learning more or getting started with signals collector I'd be happy to jump on a call or support through email!
Thank you

Author: bomberchampion
Description: I've been working on something I think you'll find pretty handy. It's pretty straightforward: whenever you copy a phone number from recent calls or anywhere on Internet and need to send a quick message on WhatsApp, just head over to
and double tap on the button. That's it – you'll be directed straight into a WhatsApp chat with that number, no need to add it to your contacts first.
I'm aware there are similar tools available, but I noticed they often lack optimal user experience. That's where my website, walinkapp.com, stands out. It's designed for speed and simplicity, allowing you to start a WhatsApp chat with just two taps or clicks - making it the fastest option out there.
You can also
- Generate WhatsApp links easily
- Create downloadable QR codes
- Send formatted WhatsApp messages
Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback.
