2. Show HN: Lightweight Productivity Tool
URL: https://zlinky.com/
Author: ke_ga
Description: Hi HN!
I’m the founder of Zlinky (http://Zlinky.com).
Zlinky is an app that helps you save and organize your links and screenshots. We have worked hard to keep the app very simple. We also have a web version and a Chrome Extension.
I was inspired to build this app as I was struggling to find an easy way save / organize / revisit / connect ideas. I couldn't find an existing tool that was lightweight and purpose built.
I spend a LOT of time consuming content, and I felt that I wasn't being effective revisiting the highest quality content for work or personal purposes. My screenshots were also in a mess and that one important screenshot often got lost.
I learnt about building prosumer apps as the Co-Founder of ManageFlitter (RIP). We scaled ManageFlitter to over 4 million users. Eventually Twitter refused most of our most valuable features. The ManageFlitter story captures the crazy rollercoaster that was building on top of the public Twitter API.
Zlinky has a very generous free account that should be sufficient most users for a long period of time.
Would love to get your feedback, questions, and ideas. Thanks! :)

Description: Hey everyone!
I’m extremely excited to share a project I led for our company- Vectara. If you’re not familiar with us, we specialize in retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, allowing you to get the most accurate answers and summaries about your data.
But more than that, we also do semantic search. And I’m proud to say I work with some really great engineers who ensure that we do that pretty darn well too!
And that’s where this comes in. For my fellow React developers out there, this one’s for you! Our new ReactSearch component allows you to add a semantic search UI, powered by our platform, to your app in just a few lines.

13. Show HN: I made a free site to discover your Instagram Unfollowers
URL: https://unfollowerstracker.com/
Author: axlkun
Description: After 1 month of coding (probably more), and beyond my 8-6 work hours I developed this website to discover who doesn't follow you back on Instagram and in a very secure way. Finally, I did it, because the website did not need logins or registrations.
You can discover your Instagram Unfollowers and Instagram Fans in just 3 easy steps:
1-Request your ZIP file from Instagram with your "followers and following" data
2-Upload to Unfollowers Tracker
3-Discover who doesn't follow you back on Instagram
It is the most secure tool because you don't need to log in with Instagram and even you don't need to register on the website. Is free.

16. Show HN: Myriad – A scalable AI writing prompt to rule them all
URL: https://www.namepepper.com/free-tools/ai-writing-prompt-generator
Author: dvmspace
Description: A few months ago I got tired of editing and managing prompts that all use different techniques.
So I decided to figure out how to build an all-in-one writing prompt that’s more reliable, scalable, and flexible for any content needs, with less editing needed.
I wanted it to still rely on natural language, but not be as dependent on it. What I ended up with is a mixture of natural language and a system of rules that you tell the AI to follow.
The rules give more fine-grained control, let you skip writing paragraphs of text to explain it to the AI, and make it possible to quickly have the AI verify its work. It’s optimized for ChatGPT, but also works with other AIs like Bard, Copilot, and Llama.
With the included generator, all it takes is a few clicks to build one.

17. Show HN: Full.cx – Transform Product Visions into Dev-Ready Requirements with AI
URL: https://full.cx
Author: dalemhurley
Description: Hey HN!
I'm thrilled to present https://Full.CX, a platform dedicated to revolutionizing the ideation process in product development. My aim is to seamlessly transform product visions into structured, Jira-ready requirements with meaningful acceptance criteria.
I have created a structured environment to capture and nurture initial concepts. Full.CX guides you through refining visions into detailed requirements and clear acceptance criteria.
I have add an AI Co-pilot (powered by OpenAI GPT3 and GPT4) which can assist with the articulation of ideas, however you can use the platform without it.
I think it can really help from initial brainstorming to the creation of developer-ready tickets.
I'm eager to hear your feedback, suggestions, and how Full.CX could fit into your product development cycle.
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your valuable insights!

23. Show HN: I Built a JavaScript Console
URL: https://github.com/sonnyt/console
Author: sonnyt
Description: I needed a convenient way to quickly run JavaScript code without having to open VSCode or a terminal. Other alternatives I found were either too bloated with a heavy focus on HTML and CSS, or too basic with unreliable logging. So, I decided to build my own JavaScript console using the same editor that VSCode uses, which provides a lot of handy features right out of the box.
