Description: hi there I’m a non coder but about 2-3 months ago i began building a full stack website using ai. it’s a video sharing site for ai videos. the entire site is/was coded with various ai agents. heres what i used initial layout and components: v0.dev IDE: Cursor with claude Complex features and bugs check: o1 preview and gemini 1.5 pro
what i’ve learned: v0 is very good at designing the initial app components. if you tell it what you want, it will create a long list of components that you need v0 code aren’t great lots of bugs but you can use claude to clean it up inside cursor. for complex components, o1 is the best. it can writes 300-400 lines components fairly bug free. you need to give it the correct context by providing codes to other components that it needs. it’s not entirely bug free, it often makes little mistakes like type error or null error. claude once again is good at cleaning it up.

3. Show HN: Some Love for Garmin Strength Training
URL: https://lifttrackapp.com/
Author: enoble89
Description: I just launched LiftTrack, an app to make creating Garmin Strength workouts simple and intuitive:
As a Garmin user, I’ve always felt like strength training apps are designed with Apple Watch users in mind, leaving us Garmin fans with clunky tools like Garmin Connect. I wanted to change that. Inspired by the smooth and user-friendly experience of popular lifting apps like Hevy and Strong, I created Lift Track to give Garmin users the same level of love and functionality.
Right now, the app lets you quickly create, edit, and sync strength workouts to your Garmin watch for tracking. In the future, I’d love to add features like automatically updating weights and reps based on what you log during workouts, scheduling recurring workouts (e.g., full-body routines every Monday and Wednesday), and providing a library of pre-built weightlifting programs ready to sync to your watch.
I’d love your feedback. Let me know what you think!

8. Show HN: Weave – Talk Anonymously with Friends
URL: https://hiweave.com/
Author: mschoeffler
Description: A few months ago, Dalton & Michael explained how we can damage ourselves using social media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMW_33zyTK4 Michael put it this way, “We’re living in a world where you need to be careful with your thoughts”.
Social media can be like a minefield—people hold back or get defensive, even with friends, because of fear of judgment or backlash. We wanted to create a platform where you can speak openly about important things without damaging relationships.
Weave lets you start conversations with friends under an alias. Over time, as you build mutual respect and trust, you can choose to reveal your identity. It’s about creating a safe space for honesty, whether you’re talking politics, personal challenges, or just sharing ideas.
Key features:
- Anonymity that evolves: Start conversations anonymously and reveal your identity when ready.
- Respect: Respecting comments moves you towards mutual respect and revealing identities.
- Real friendships: Encourage respect and understanding, not shouting matches or echo chambers.
- Built-in boundaries: A safe environment where your words aren’t tied to your public profile—unless you want them to be.
We’re in early stages and would love your feedback. Does this idea resonate with you? Are there risks we should address or features you’d like to see?
Thanks so much for your time and insights. We’re excited to hear your thoughts!

URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airvis/id6737998221
Author: Arun_Kurian
Description: I’ve always wanted to be a developer and build cool things, but life’s circumstances have often stood in the way. This year, I finally quit my job and moved to the Bay Area with the little savings I had. Joined a co working space, started working on an AR app since I believe AR will be big in the future. I didn’t have a lot of experience in programming, but was able to build a small Vision Pro app early this year with the help of GPT, which gave me confidence to try out building a larger project. Again with the help of GPT, bit of Claude, Apple Sample Codes and leveraging Firebase for backend. In just under 2 months, I was able to build a AR Social Networking app for iPhone,iPad and Mac. I am sure it is not perfect and will have a lot of bugs. But I really think the barrier to entry is now way down and people who are passionate can build products faster without spending months or years. Greatly appreciate if you guys can try out the app and let me know of any suggestions or improvements, or any bugs you find. Excited and happy to start this new journey.

Author: buckwhitzer
Description: Website: https://www.tradingdigits.io/
I year ago I published a post over here about how I learned to code on my own (my major is linguistics and I didn’t know anything about coding before) and built a free crypto analytics platform with 17 tools, but back then it was barely getting 1000 visitors per month.
Since then I launched 15 new analytics tools, completely revamped the UI, added lots of new features, and even coded my proprietary candlestick charts with a technical indicator using HMTL5 Canvas from scratch (check Coinbase Premium tool).
This year the website started to get traction and now the platform is visited by 20,000 to 30,000 users per month. I will keep building on top of the existing features and will be releasing new free tools in the coming months.
Tech stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, HTML5 Canvas, Framer Motion, Html2Canvas, Canvg, Tippy.js, Supabase

21. Show HN: A website to practice for job interviews
Author: _zaidahmad
Description: A little backstory-
When I first arrived in Canada as an international student, I met a guy who created a product called InterviewPal. I was fascinated and eager to use it, but soon discovered it was exclusive to University of Alberta students. This made me frustrated so I decided to take on the challenge of building a better alternative- something more accessible and affordable.
After I announced Zilta’s waitlist on LinkedIn, Aryan blocked me, which bummed me out for a bit. But it only fueled my drive to create something much better than his overpriced product. My goal was to offer a solution that students and recent grads could actually afford and benefit from.
And that’s how Zilta came into existance. I also wanted to give indie hacking a shot and took this endeavor so you can say I hit two birds with one stone haha
---
Zilta was launched in June but I wasn’t able to work on it extensively because of the workload from college and a part-time job I do. Now that the semester is approaching its end, I’m getting more time for it. Frankly speaking, I don’t really know where to take this product to. Right now I am a little confused if I should focuss on marketing and getting more users to try it out and then add more features to it or the opposite. On the other hand, I’ve also listed this startup to sell for a few bucks because marketing is so hard.
What I want deep down? I want this product to grow to 1-2K MRR and then sell it.
The problem? I am not sure if I’m heading in the right direction.
I’d like you all to give it a try and roast this product. I’m open to receving constructive critism and any advice that can help me succeed in this journey.
Should I work on marketing, adding more features or selling this?

23. Show HN: Darkspark – a gallery of interactive PyTorch models
URL: #
Author: reddlee
Description: Darkspark is a GUI for your neural network. It allows you to explore a visual, interactive version of your PyTorch code.
I tried all the other options I could find (netron, google’s model-explorer, tensorboard, torchview, torchlens, apple’s mycelium). These are all great projects (I really wanted to use one of them!) but none had all of the features I needed:
Opinionated layout. A layout-engine should automatically expose the underlying logic of the model. E.g. a U-net should look like a “U”, see stable-diffusion-v1.5 here https://darkspark.dev/models/?model=stable-diffusion-v1-5
Interactive. Ops need to be collapsible and expandable. Complex models like stable-diffusion won’t even load without this.
‘Just Works’ with any arbitrary code. I don’t want to export to ONNX, I don’t want to upload something, I don’t want to manually specify what is the model and what are the inputs. I just want to wrap my existing code in something simple.
Microscope. Sometimes I also want to explore the activations and attention patterns. Like OpenAI’s microscope, but for your own models. E.g. this CLIP-like model is highly interpretable. https://darkspark.dev/models/?model=vit_base_patch16_siglip_….
Hosted gallery. Most of what I want is usually a variant of an existing model. It’s often more convenient to just reference a url rather than trace your own code. All the models from timm, and many from the huggingface transformers and diffusers libraries, are available at https://darkspark.dev
Hoping to get feedback on the hosted models before releasing the pip package for local use. Thank you!
darkspark uses torch_function. This allows us to capture all the ops and tensors inside the context of darkspark.Tracer without breaking when it hits dynamic control flow ops that can’t be captured in e.g. ONNX or torch exported_program. We also get access to all the tensors, activation patterns, etc, without using hooks.

URL: https://github.com/use-hydra-ai/hydra-ai

Description: Building tools to simplify how to build AI into React apps, called Hydra AI (short for “hydration”.)
The idea is to build React components like normal, tell the AI when they should be used, and let the AI decide when to show them and what props to fill them with. The “list of things that are possible” in my app is, in a way, defined by the components that people can interact with, so why not just let AI control those on behalf of (or alongside) the user instead of trying to figure out all new AI logic?
Looking for people to try building something with Hydra!

32. Show HN: Django Protego - A Flexible and Dynamic Circuit Breaker
URL: #
Author: grandimam
Description: Hey HN!
I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Django Protego, a dynamic and configurable Circuit Breaker for Django applications.
What is Django Protego?
Django Protego is a library that helps to protect your services from cascading failures by providing a Circuit Breaker mechanism. It’s simple to integrate, dynamic, and works seamlessly with Django-based applications.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Configuration: Configure failure thresholds, reset timeouts, and half-open retries at runtime.
- Global Registry: The circuit breaker state is shared across views via a global registry, ensuring centralized control of your application’s fault tolerance.
- Easy to Use: Just decorate your views with @protego.protect to wrap your views in the circuit breaker logic.
- Flexible: Supports multiple circuit breakers in the same project, all configurable independently.
- In-Memory: Implements a highly efficient in-memory circuit breaker with no external dependencies.
How It Works:
- Protego Client: For each service, the circuit breaker maintains its state (open, closed, half-open) and tracks failures.
- Thresholds and Timeout: You can dynamically adjust failure thresholds, reset timeouts, and half-open retries via a central configuration in your Django app.
- Global Access: Protego ensures that circuit breakers are initialized once and are accessible globally in your project.
- Graceful Failures: When the circuit breaker is “open”, instead of hitting the service, it automatically returns a failure response (e.g., 503 Service Unavailable).
Future Roadmap for Protego Circuit Breaker
To further enhance Protego and make it even more powerful and scalable, here’s a roadmap that focuses on integrating it with Django, Redis, and databases for advanced fault tolerance, persistence, and distributed systems.

URL: https://www.mycapitally.com/
Author: panrafal
Description: Hey HN,
As someone who geeks out on both investment data and privacy tech, I built Capitally to scratch my own itch. It’s encrypted on-device so that once I can afford to hire a second engineer, he cannot peek into my own data!
I wanted a way to monitor ALL my investments (stocks, crypto, real estate, angel investments, etc.) in one place and really dig into the data - but without compromising my privacy.
Here’s how Capitally makes that possible:
On the data side:
Import data from CSVs, spreadsheets, or any other source via a flexible no-code editor Map any data format into a standardized schema Slice and dice with performance breakdowns, future income projections, and more
On the privacy side:
All data is encrypted and processed locally in your browser Your investment data never hits our servers unencrypted You retain complete control and ownership of your info
It’s a huge challenge to build a powerful analysis tool that still keeps data local. And making it into a sustainable business (still much in progress).
Would love feedback, especially on the import flow, encryption and analysis features.

36. Show HN: Labfile, a declarative file format for orchestrating experiments
URL: https://github.com/FlywheelHQ/labfile
Author: rorytbyrne
Description: Hi friends.
I used to be a software architect/technical founder, but now I’m doing a PhD in neuroscience. One big culture shock was that much of computational science is still imperative, while software engineering shifted to declarative tools decades ago.
Many scientists (myself included) run Python scripts manually and track the inter-dependencies in their heads - often running scripts in the wrong order and getting silently incorrect results (leading to Nature papers).
This problem seems similar to managing infrastructure with Terraform or building an image with Dockerfile directives, so I’ve started sketching out a declarative file format for defining experiments, their hyperparameters, and their relationships.
https://github.com/FlywheelHQ/labfile
My hope is to change this workflow:
bash<p>$ python script1.py ...<p>$ python script3.py <--- fuck, forgot to re-run script 2 ...<p>$ python script2.py ...<p>$ python script3.py ...<p>
into this
bash<p>$ lab Labfile<p>Using cached results for Exp1.<p>Running Exp2... Done.<p>Running Exp3... Done.<p>
This library is just a parser, but I’m working on an orchestrator and will share it soon.
I would appreciate feedback on the syntax (I’m sure it sucks), and thoughts on what kinds of tooling could be built on top of a file format like this. I’d also like contributors (soon).
Side note: You might have noticed it’s published under “Flywheel”. This is a org I started recently with my friend, hoping to create the missing incentives for talented builders to work on tools for science - an often overlooked part of the tech ecosystem. That includes policy change (in the UK), funding, education, and some other things. I don’t know what Flywheel is yet (non-profit? OSS collective? a fund of some sort?) since it’s very new, but we have a website: https://flywhl.dev.

URL: https://www.permit.io/blog/permit-new-pricing-model
Author: gemanor
Description: Hi HN, I’m Gabriel, VP of DevRel at [Permit.io](http://permit.io/). We just launched a major overhaul of our pricing, and, while working on this, I’ve encountered challenges I thought were unique to our SaaS.
The more effort I put into this, the more I felt like balancing operational costs and providing customers with predictable pricing is something other SaaS companies probably encounter as well.
We’ve had a lot of startups reach out to us to help them implement fine-grained authorization, and, as an authorization SaaS, this created some pricing problems for us.
It would be easiest for us to charge clients based on the number of authorization API calls we have to process, as each call directly represents a quantifiable cost in server and infrastructure resources. That’s the way most authorization providers do it.
The thing is, authorization calls add up quickly and unpredictably. Even a single API call from a user may require multiple authorization checks. This means potentially large, unexpected expenses for our clients.
That’s why we initially designed our pricing model around Monthly Active Users (MAU) to offer a predictable cost structure.
Basing pricing MAU, however, created a problem for us as a SaaS provider, as it doesn’t account for the variability in authorization usage that occurs within different applications.
Some companies may have a small number of users, but those can trigger a very high volume of authorization calls, meaning significant operational costs on our end.
To address usage unpredictability, we just introduced a quota on the number of resources and rules clients can define in our system, as well as a new startup tier.
By setting these quotas, we can now manage our operational costs more effectively, especially when it comes to caching rules and handling the volume of API calls.
This approach allows us to offer a Monthly Active User (MAU) pricing structure at a rate significantly lower than any other authorization-as-a-service provider.

43. Show HN: Kurdle – Wordle Meets Japanese Kanji
URL: #
Author: jpcom
Description: Hello HN!
I built Kurdle (https://japanesecomplete.com/kurdle.html), a Wordle variant that teaches Japanese kanji through English word patterns. Each day features a new kanji that replaces a vowel in a 5-letter English word.
For example, the kanji 人 (meaning “person”) might replace the “U” in “HUMAN”, showing as “H人MAN”. Players learn kanji meanings while solving familiar word puzzles.
Features:
- Daily puzzles using common kanji from the essential 777 list
- Streak tracking to encourage regular practice
- “Hacker mode” UI theme (toggle in top right)
- Progressive learning - starts with basic kanji and builds up
Built with vanilla JS/HTML/CSS. No frameworks, no dependencies (except for victory confetti!).
This is part of my larger mission to make Japanese learning more approachable through gamification. Would love your feedback on the concept and execution!

45. Show HN: Commerce GPT – Chat with LLMs to find products in your store
URL: https://demo.yournextstore.com
Author: zaiste
Description: I’ve been experimenting with blending AI chat into e-commerce workflows. Commerce GPT is a proof-of-concept for a quick “quake-style” chat window that adds AI-powered search to your store.
Why? Typing (or speaking) multi-criteria queries to find products to buy can be faster and more intuitive than navigating menus, e.g. searching for “yellow bag under $100” or “extra virgin olive oil with high polyphenol count over 400 mg”
Built with Next.js + AI SDK and in the demo it integrates with OpenAI GPT-4o to process product data (thanks to AI SDK switching providers is straightforward)
It’s still a work-in-progress, but I’d love your feedback! Could this be useful? What features or improvements would you like to see?

URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry
Author: tuhaihe
Description: Background: Greenplum Database (after the Broadcom acquisition of VMWare) has gone closed-source and completely shut down its open-source community.
Cloudberry, created by the original developers of Greenplum Database, is an open-source Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) database. It evolves from the open-source version of the Greenplum Database® but features a newer PostgreSQL kernel and more advanced enterprise capabilities. Cloudberry can serve as a data warehouse and can also be used for large-scale analytics and AI/ML workloads.
Cloudberry has just entered the Apache Incubator and rebranded to Apache Cloudberry.
We’re thrilled to share this milestone with the Hacker News community. Whether you’re a Greenplum enthusiast or passionate about open-source databases, we’d love your feedback and support!
Learn more in the official announcement[1] or explore the project on GitHub[2].

50. Show HN: Double-entry accounting based personal finance app
Author: aswinmohanme
Description: Hello HN! I am Aswin Mohan, full-stack mobile + web developer and I built PaperMoney(https://getpaper.money). PaperMoney is a double-entry accounting based personal finance app. It can help you keep track of your expenses, assets, liabilities and your net-worth. It is based on the command-line tools beancount and ledger.
I had been using beancount to track my expenses for over two years. The plain-text accounting and reporting with fava was great, but I wanted a mobile based app to keep track on the go. Looked around existing solutions but everything fell short when compared to beancount. Also the major apps were not available outside the United States and only supported the dollar. They were based on assigning categories to a list of transactions which I found lacking coming from double-entry accounting. So I created Paper Money. It’s based on double-entry accounting, you can add your chart of accounts and add balanced transactions. We’ll use this to calculate your net-worth and the balances in your accounts.
It’s built using React Native for the frontend and Elixir and Phoenix on the backend. We have support for both Android and iOS. I have plans to add automated account syncing and automated expense tracking in future versions.
The target audience currently is someone who is familiar with double-entry accounting but looking for a hosted mobile version. The future versions will be focused on more mainstream customers of personal finance apps, which means making the app more accessible for people without prior experience with double-entry accounting.
I am available at [email protected] if you have any questions or querires, and excited to hear your feedback!

51. Show HN: TeaTime – distributed book library powered by SQLite, IPFS and GitHub
URL: https://github.com/bjesus/teatime
Author: yoavm
Description: Recently there seem to be a surge in SQLite related projects. TeaTime is riding that wave…
A couple of years ago I was intrigued by phiresky’s post[0] about querying SQLite over HTTP. It made me think that if anyone can publish a database using GitHub Pages, I could probably build a frontend in which users can decide which database to query. TeaTime is like that - when you first visit it, you’ll need to choose your database. Everyone can create additional databases[1]. TeaTime then queries it, and fetches files using an IPFS gateway (I’m looking into using Helia so that users are also contributing nodes in the network). Files are then rendered in the website itself. Everything is done in the browser - no users, no cookies, no tracking. LocalStorage and IndexedDB are used for saving your last readings, and your position in each file.
Since TeaTime is a static site, it’s super easy (and free) to deploy. GitHub repo tags are used for maintaining a list of public instances[2].
Note that a GitHub repository isn’t mandatory for storing the SQLite files or the front end - it’s only for the configuration file (config.json) of each database, and for listing instances. Both the instances themselves and the database files can be hosted on Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, your Raspberry Pi, or any other server that can host static files.
I’m curious to see what other kinds of databases people can create, and what other types of files TeaTime could be used for.

54. Show HN: Multilingual Embedding Model for Images, Audio and PDFs
Author: yoeven
Description: I love building RAG applications and exploring new technologies in this space, especially for retrieval and reranking. Here’s an open source project I worked on previously that explored a RAG application on Postgres and YouTube videos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38705535
Most RAG applications consist of two pieces: the vector database and the embedding model to generate the vector. A scalable vector database seems pretty much like a solved problem with providers like Cloudflare, Supabase, Pinecone, and many many more.
Embedding models, on the other hand, seem pretty limited compared to their LLM counterparts. OpenAI has one of the best LLMs in the world right now, with multimodal support for images and documents, but their embedding models only support a handful of languages and only text input while being pretty far behind open source models based on the MTEB ranking: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard
The closest model I found that supports multi-modality was OpenAI’s clip-vit-large-patch14, which supports only text and images. It hasn’t been updated for years with language limitations and has ok retrieval for small applications.
Most RAG applications I have worked on had extensive requirements for image and PDF embeddings in multiple languages.
Enterprise RAG is a common use case with millions of documents in different formats, verticals like law and medicine, languages, and more.
So, we at JigsawStack launched an embedding model that can generate vectors of 1024 for images, PDFs, audios and text in the same shared vector space with support for over 80+ languages.
- Supports 80+ languages
- Support multimodality: text, image, pdf, audio
- Average MRR 10: 70.5
- Built in chunking of large documents into multiple embeddings
Today, we launched the embedding model in a closed Alpha and did up a simple documentation for you to get started. Drop me an email at [email protected] or DM me on X with your use case and I would be happy to give you free and unlimited access in exchange for feedback!
Some limitations:
- While our model does support video, it’s pretty expensive to run video embedding, even for a 10 second clip. We’re finding ways to reduce the cost before launching this, but you can embed the audio of a video.
- Text embedding is the fastest response, while other modalities might take a few seconds. Which we expected as most other modalities require preprocessing

57. Show HN: Limmat – Local Immediate Automated Testing
URL: https://github.com/bjackman/limmat
Author: bjackman
Description: Every job I’ve worked in has had CI that is in some way unsatisfactory for me personally. But, I tend to work on projects with lots of configurations and tests that I want to run.
So, I made Limmat as a way to get want I want out of the CI as a developer (which is often a bit different from what is needed from the CI for project health, and always different from what the CI infrastructure is capable of delivering). It started as an exercise to get used to Rust, but it turned into a pretty valuable part of my workflow.
Basically it adds a new point on the spectrum of <things that run tests>. It’s more lightweight and easier to configure than CI, but it supports a more rigrous workflow than stuff like Bacon that just optimises for fast feedback.

URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audionotes-ai-voice-notes/id6736822144
Author: vatsal1811
Description: We launched the first version of Audionotes (www.audionotes.app) in May 2023, riding the Whisper/AI voice notes hype wave. Built it on Bubble, jumped on the hype train, but something wasn’t clicking despite all our improvements.
The hard truth? We didn’t really know what problem we were solving or who we were solving it for. Most importantly - we weren’t even using our own product.
A few months ago - we went through some serious soul-searching. We talked to our users (like, really talked), figured out what actually mattered, understood who needed this, and decided to build something we’d genuinely love to use ourselves.
In 4 months of building, we’ve rebuilt Audionotes from the ground up. It’s now a voice-first but complete note-taking app that just works. Perfect for brain dumps, meeting captures, lecture notes, or daily journaling.
What we’ve built:
- The whole package: voice notes, file uploads, text notes, scanned images, and YouTube video notes
- Transcription, summaries, and custom outputs that actually make sense
- Smart meeting notes with speaker detection
- Chat with your notes (single or all) - like having a conversation with your brain
- WhatsApp bot for instant transcription and summaries Plays nice with others: Notion, Zapier, and webhook support
- Web, iOS, Android, and Chrome Extension
We’ve poured our hearts into this rebuild, and it feels different this time because we’re building for ourselves as much as for our users.
Would love for you to try it out and tell us what you think!

URL: https://github.com/Forward-Lang/TechDebt-Tracker
Author: bruno-366
Description: Hi HN! I wanted to share this tool that I created in order to try to track technical debt, and get some sort of overview of a code-base’s health, quality, and maintainability.
I know from work how difficult it can be to get maintenance, improvements, and refactoring efforts to be prioritized, especially without any concrete numbers/KPIs on how it will impact a product. So that’s why I wanted to share this tool, which should aid in such situations, at least by bringing some numbers to the table.
I wanted to write the tool in rust so that it could handle large code-bases in a fast manner, since those are also the code-bases that are most likely to have a higher amount of technical debt.
In the future, I hope to extend the functionality so that the tools can analyze code-base that use a wide-range of different languages (maybe by taking advantage of existing syntax highlighting grammar files?).
Please feel free to leave any comments below, or open any issues/feature-requests in the repo. I’m very open to feedback, and look forward to hearing from y’all.

61. Show HN: Dynamiqs – high-performance quantum systems simulation with Jax
URL: https://www.dynamiqs.org/stable/index.html
Author: abocquet
Description: Hello HN,
We’re excited to present Dynamiqs, a Python library for simulating quantum systems. It is developed by PhD students in Paris working for Alice&Bob, a quantum computers start-up (https://alice-bob.com), in collaboration with academic research universities (Sherbrooke, Yale, Mines Paris and LPENS). Dynamiqs focuses on physical-level simulation (Schrödinger equation, Lindblad master equation, etc.) rather than quantum circuit simulation. You can think of it as a GPU-accelerated alternative to QuTiP (https://qutip.org).
Key Features:
- Blazing Fast Simulations: GPU acceleration makes Dynamiqs up to 60x faster than QuTiP for large quantum systems.
- Differentiability: Compute gradients through the solver for tasks like quantum optimal control, sensitivity analysis, and parameter estimation.
- Vectorization: Run multiple simulations simultaneously to explore different parameter values or initial states.
Dynamiqs is powered by JAX (https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html) and Diffrax (https://docs.kidger.site/diffrax/), combining GPU acceleration and automatic differentiation with cutting-edge ODE solvers.
We’re eager to connect with the JAX/ML community, even if quantum physics isn’t your area of expertise. Dynamiqs’ features like differentiability and vectorization could spark ideas for collaborations and novel applications.
Check it out and share your thoughts—we’d love to hear feedback, suggestions, or just chat about the possibilities!
