Description: Hi HN,
We are launching serverless Python workers for developers who are building Python web/AI apps: https://pyworkers.so
Our Python workers similar to Cloudflare workers, except for Python and are long running, which means there are no timeouts.
This is something that our team has been working on for the past year. Would love to know your feedback.

5. Show HN: I Made a Free Personal Assistant API – Order an Uber W Natural Language
URL: #
Author: hackersignal
Description: I was going to make a whole ChatGPT-generated post filled with emojis and junk, but I hate reading that stuff so I’ll keep it short and sweet. I wanted a personal assistant that could do things for me — I want to order an Uber using natural language. I want to buy food using natural language… etc. But I couldn’t, so I made my own personal assistant that could.
I made this project totally free such that anyone can build on top of it. Wanna make a business on top of my API? Go for it. Wanna use it to make a personal home assistant? Go for it. If you want to create your own tools on top of Pal (let’s say you want to enable Pal to control your Roomba), you can create your own tools in the dev portal. The only catch is that I’ve rate limited it to 2 requests per minute per user because I can only afford so many API credits.
I was going to charge people for this, but as a Developer, I know how frustrating it is trying to build when everything is pay walled. Go wild fellas, but please don’t abuse it. I put a lot into developing this. If you’d like to support me, feel free to donate.
Anyways, check it out at https://www.meetpal.ai and navigate to the API subsection in the header.

8. Show HN: A discussion platform for developers
URL: https://www.itsrapport.com/
Author: elamafella
Description: We developers have always wanted a place to ask questions freely. While Stack Overflow has been the go-to platform for years, it’s clear that developers need a change. That’s why I was inspired to create Rapport, a free and community-driven platform designed for developers to discuss and share ideas.
On Rapport, you can ask your questions, and discussions are capped to 15 minutes. This setup encourages active participation—when a discussion starts, a notification system alerts users who clicked the notification button. If a topic relates with many, they’ll upvote it, drawing even more participants and leading to lots of answers.
It’s really that simple, and I’d love to know what you all think!

17. Show HN: Jist searches JSON 3x faster than jq
URL: https://github.com/adelamodwala/jist
Author: adelamodwala1
Description: Hi HN,
jist is a JSON path search tool that feels like accessing a JavaScript object. It’s 3x faster than jq for the same use case, and over 2000x more memory efficient when searching a 3.3GB file for the last element (jist reads data in chunks so has constant space use).
It doesn’t implement pattern matching yet. A feature I’m looking to add is generating a full JSON schema using the same streaming approach so stay tuned!
Any feedback and feature requests are more than welcome

20. Show HN: Throw Your Message into the Void
Author: KronisLV
Description: I sometimes catch myself struggling wanting to get the last word, or leave a comment that’s not entirely objective in code review, or want to get something out even knowing it doesn’t contribute to the conversation.
For example, the other day there was a conversation of someone wondering why they can’t get the newest version of the unzip package that ships with a recent OS release running under an older OS release, which they found to be worse than Windows. I posted a comment demonstrating that while you could move executables across (using Docker containers), it wouldn’t run due to the dependencies, but then I deleted the comment because it didn’t actually give them a workable solution.
Another recent case was people talking about imperative languages and functional languages and someone brought up a snippet of code in Haskell that read like executable line noise to me. Not as much because of the syntax itself, but because most of the variables were single letter or very short and I dropped a comment with an example of what it’d look like with “more Java” naming conventions. I did delete that one as well, realizing it contributed nothing to the greater conversation.
On one hand, I want the feeling of expressing the thoughts, on the other, it isn’t always productive to do so. That’s why I made a little site to help me with letting go: it’s just a front end app where I can drop whatever I want to say (and maybe what I’m responding to) and… send it into the void.
There’s no back end, no analytics and honestly anyone could make something like that in a day (if concerned about privacy), but I wonder whether people in general are able to dismiss thoughts like that. Perhaps not, judging by how many arguments there are online where people go back and forth with no actual progress or compromise, but in my case something like this definitely helps my mind get some closure and be at rest.

24. Show HN: SongLink a web app to share songs across music streaming services
Author: Raed667
Description: I built a web application after being frustrated about how my friends share music.
In chat groups, we constantly share songs & albums with each other. But since everyone uses a different music streaming service, that means I had to open a link, dismiss cookie banners, copy/paste the title, find the right version etc…
So I came-up with SongLink where songs, albums and artists can be shared across different services with one link!

25. Show HN: Unmoderate Hacker News Titles
URL: https://github.com/bambax/hntitles
Author: bambax
Description: This is a simple Tamperscript to optionally display the original title of Hacker News stories.
HN titles are sometimes moderated long after they appear on the front page, so that one either can’t find a story they read, or read it twice. This helps check what the original title was.
Install is one click — needs Tampermonkey to work of course.
More info in the Github readme.

30. Show HN: Mdx – Execute your Markdown code blocks, now in Go
URL: https://github.com/dim0x69/mdx
Author: dim0x69
Description: Hey HN! I recently came across makedown here on HN and loved the concept. Wanting to learn Go, I thought this could be a great starter project - so I started working on my own Go implementation, which I’m calling mdx (https://github.com/dim0x69/mdx).
Key Features:
- Define dependencies between commands
- Supports shebangs
- Ability to pass arguments to code blocks
Would love feedback and thoughts!

URL: https://github.com/ryawaa/comment-issues
Author: ryanamay
Description: Hi HN,
I wasn’t really sure on whether this extension or functionality exists anywhere and I thought it would be really good to have since you can just command/control + click to jump to the issue referenced in code comments so I made this.
Features:
- Automatically links (#123) in code comments to the repository issue if available.
- Support for Github, Gitlab and Bitbucket is present, others are untested.
- Javascript/Typescript is a confirmed working language, others are untested.
You can view the vscode marketplace listing here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ryawaa.c…
Please feel free to report bugs and the like!
