It's Demo Day. What are you working on?


Given that it's YC's demo day[0], I wanted to ask:

HN, what are you working on?

Many people add "Reddit" to their search queries to find authentic product reviews. I fine-tuned a BERT model to extract product mentions from over 4 million Reddit comments and posts with Named Entity Recognition (NER). The result is a list of the most popular products across many subreddits: https://looria.com/reddit/overview

I'm making a game called Fall of an Empire. It's like the inverse of a 4X game - than expanding you start off overextended and try and lose as slowly as possible.

Toy project: I’m learning a bit of Rust. I’m making a text compression and printing algorithm to encode as much data as possible on a single A4 page.

It’s basically Hoffman coding + optimising transformations + encoding to a subset of Unicode.

It’s Mickey Mouse but should be enough to get a handle on Rust.

Sioyek, a PDF viewer for reading research papers and textbooks.

See the website for more info: https://sioyek.info/

And here is an article on how sioyek features help with reading documents with lots of references: https://ahrm.github.io/jekyll/update/2022/08/30/sioyek-featu...

First time posting my own project anywhere.

D20Kit (previously Synk) has been my long time side project that tries to allow online tabletop players to experience the audio ambiance of a setting in sync with each other (within a 5 sec buffer).

It does this without a live audio stream and allows you to play/pause/loop/shuffle single track audio or playlists and maintains all participants hearing the same thing at the same time.

I still have a lot of work on mobile parity, but I think most of the features can be accessed from mobile. It's very niche and it's got some usability issues I need to iron out. If anyone does try it out I'd love to hear the thoughts/hate mail about it.

Apologies if you don't like having Google auth be the only option.

Personally I'm building an automatically updating status page service with built-in uptime monitoring.

Starting with built-in monitoring, and integrating Uptime Robot, I'm making it possible to make a pretty, accurate status page running on your own subdomain.

I just put up the first simplest MVP version of crop.express. I have clients who need to crop images but are not technical.
