Hi Hacker News,<p>I&#x27;ve created Chord Nebula, a simple web-based game designed to help users learn and practice piano chords, basic progressions, and harmony fundamentals. The game integrates with MIDI keyboards, allowing you to play chords in real-time and receive immediate feedback based on the key you choose.<p>GitHub Repository: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yottanami&#x2F;chord_nebula">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yottanami&#x2F;chord_nebula</a> Live Demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chords.yottanami.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chords.yottanami.com</a><p>Requirements: To use Chord Nebula, you&#x27;ll need a MIDI keyboard connected to your computer.<p>Current Status: Chord Nebula is still a simple project. I&#x27;m committed to improving it based on user feedback and would greatly appreciate any support or contributions from the community.<p>Looking for Feedback and Collaborators: I&#x27;m eager to hear your thoughts on Chord Nebula! Whether it&#x27;s suggestions for new features, improvements, or bug reports, your feedback is invaluable. Additionally, if you&#x27;re interested in collaborating to enhance the game, feel free to reach out or contribute directly via GitHub.<p>Thanks for taking the time to check out Chord Nebula!

Svader is a library for rendering 2D shaders on Svelte websites, using either WebGL or WebGPU.<p>It&#x27;s streamlined for the specific use case of rendering 2D graphics using fragment shaders as an alternative to SVG or the JS canvas API, so it&#x27;s not meant for doing 3D objects like three.js, for example.<p>This started as something I needed for my own project, but I eventually decided to split it into a separate library. I&#x27;ve since found that this use case fits really well into the Svelte compiler-based approach and its fine-grained reactivity system.<p>In general, I think using shaders like these has some really positive upsides compared to traditional ways of doing graphics on the web — not just for games and stuff, but also for something like data visualizations and aesthetic details. My dream is that one day, you&#x27;ll see web developers using small, isolated shader components ubiquitously across web applications, just as naturally as something like SVGs are used today.

I made a public transport route planning program that&#x27;s capable of planning journeys across Europe or North America! There&#x27;s only one other FOSS project I know of (MOTIS&#x2F;Transitous) that can do transit routing at this scale, and in the testing I&#x27;ve performed mine is about 50x faster. I&#x27;ve spent a few weeks on this project now and it&#x27;s getting to the point where I can show it off, but the API responses need a lot of work before they&#x27;re usable for any downstream application.<p>Example query (Berlin to Barcelona): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;farebox.airmail.rs&#x2F;plan&#x2F;52.5176122,13.4180261&#x2F;41.380458,2.1455451" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;farebox.airmail.rs&#x2F;plan&#x2F;52.5176122,13.4180261&#x2F;41.380...</a><p>There are some bugs still. Notably, it&#x27;s not capable of planning the return trip for this route, nor the reverse of the trip from Seattle to NYC that I gave in the blog post.<p>Blog post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ellenhp.me&#x2F;performant-intracontinental-transit-routing-in-rust" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ellenhp.me&#x2F;performant-intracontinental-transit-...</a><p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ellenhp&#x2F;farebox">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ellenhp&#x2F;farebox</a><p>Side-note but in the past some have criticized my writing style and it&#x27;s been a bit hurtful at times but if you have <i>constructive</i> feedback on the blog post I&#x27;d appreciate it. I&#x27;m trying to get better at writing. :)

Howdy! I&#x27;ve just written a blog post about this, and I figured I would share it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.dev&#x2F;post&#x2F;announcing_smoores_epub&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.dev&#x2F;post&#x2F;announcing_smoores_epub&#x2F;</a>. As I&#x27;ve been working on Storyteller[1], I&#x27;ve been developing a library for working with EPUB files, since that&#x27;s a large amount of the work that Storyteller does. After a friend asked for advice on creating EPUB books in Node.js, I decided to publish Storyteller&#x27;s EPUB library as a standalone NPM package. I really love the EPUB spec, and I think the Node.js developer community deserves an actively maintained library for working with it!<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.gitlab.io&#x2F;storyteller" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.gitlab.io&#x2F;storyteller</a>

Hey HN! A few weeks ago, meet.hn was released: (Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41539125">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41539125</a>)<p>We are now about 1700 hackers willing to meet each other in almost 700 locations worldwide.<p>Since then, some requested features and bug fixes have been implemented:<p>- locations are now searchable and not restricted to a simplistic city-country pair<p>- locations work with diacritics and diverse languages<p>- new socials: personal website, email, Mastodon, Discord, GitLab, Google Scholar, YouTube, etc.<p>- upon user request, I can now showcase your local meetups on your location listing, as it&#x27;s done for Old Toronto: [1]<p>About actual meetings, I&#x27;m aware of around a dozen so far, but I think many more occurred.<p>Why am I writing this post?<p>About 80% of the ~1700 signups happened in the first 36 hours after launch. As expected, signups dropped pretty quickly, and now it gains about one new user every other day.<p>I think a ton of global value (and local joy) can emerge from HN users meeting each other. That&#x27;s why I&#x27;m writing this post. To answer the question: how can we meet more? and how can meet.hn help?<p>What I thought about:<p>1. Implementing RSS for each location: helpful for RSS users only, and not that useful if there are no new registrations.<p>2. Email notification system: wide audience, but requires users to give their emails.<p>3. Turning meet.hn into some sort of an atproto [3] project, or at least leveraging it somehow. Might be more Bluesky centric (if we use labels, for example), but maybe not?<p>4. A bookmarklet which, once clicked when on a HN post, would insert a meet.hn logo next to all user names of users commenting there and registered on meet.hn<p>5. An HN &quot;proxy website&quot; which would copy HN in every way, but would add the meet.hn logo just like the bookmarklet described point 4 would do, but everywhere and automatically.<p>6. Create Telegram (or equivalent) channels for each location<p>But all of these ideas are unideal fixes. The lowest common denominator between everyone on HN... is HN. Hence, meeting right from HN would be best. An MVP for this could be to have a &quot;willing to meet&quot; attribute with a boolean value (like the &quot;showdead&quot; or &quot;noprocrast&quot; attributes). When enabled, an icon would be shown next to the user name in threads.<p>I talked to dang, and even if the idea of implementing something on HN is not out of the question, it is not on the roadmap yet.<p>Let&#x27;s discuss all of this in the comments. Looking forward to hearing what you think.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meet.hn&#x2F;city&#x2F;43.6534817,-79.3839347&#x2F;Old-Toronto" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meet.hn&#x2F;city&#x2F;43.6534817,-79.3839347&#x2F;Old-Toronto</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meet.hn&#x2F;city&#x2F;43.6044622,1.4442469&#x2F;Toulouse" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meet.hn&#x2F;city&#x2F;43.6044622,1.4442469&#x2F;Toulouse</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atproto.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atproto.com&#x2F;</a>

I am constantly amazed by the output of certain people, often ones with some public visibility, for example active in open-source.<p>How does one have the time, energy and mental capacity to: work their full time job at a prestigious company (presumably with high expectations), create and maintain multiple open source projects, run profitable side hustles, fulfil family obligations and have a life outside of all that?<p>This is a genuine question. There are days when I&#x27;m very productive and days when I&#x27;m not so much; but on average, in a given 8 hour workday with a trip to the gym, I often don&#x27;t have the energy to chase other things that I want. Some days I just can&#x27;t look at a screen anymore due to fatigue or headaches.<p>Are some people just &quot;built different&quot;? I already wake up at 5am to do what I can every day. What&#x27;s the secret sauce that I&#x27;m missing?

This is another one of my automate-my-life projects - I&#x27;m constantly asking the same question to different AIs since there&#x27;s always the hope of getting a better answer somewhere else. Maybe ChatGPT&#x27;s answer is too short, so I ask Perplexity. But I realize that&#x27;s hallucinated, so I try Gemini. That answer sounds right, but I cross-reference with Claude just to make sure.<p>This doesn&#x27;t really apply to math&#x2F;coding (where o1 or Gemini can probably one-shot an excellent response), but more to online search, where information is more fluid and there&#x27;s no &quot;right&quot; search engine + text restructuring + model combination every time. Even o1 doesn&#x27;t have online search, so it&#x27;s obviously a hard problem to solve.<p>An example is something like &quot;best ski resorts in the US&quot;, which will get a different response from every GPT, but most of their rankings won&#x27;t reflect actual skiers&#x27; consensus - say, on Reddit <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;skiing&#x2F;comments&#x2F;sew297&#x2F;updated_us_ski_areas_tier_list_v3_128_please" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;skiing&#x2F;comments&#x2F;sew297&#x2F;updated_us_s...</a> - because there&#x27;s so many opinions floating around, a one-shot RAG search + LLM isn&#x27;t going to have enough context to find how everyone thinks. And obviously, offline GPTs like o1 and Sonnet&#x2F;Haiku aren&#x27;t going to have the latest updates if a resort closes for example.<p>So I’ve spent the last few months experimenting with a new project that&#x27;s basically the most expensive GPT I’ll ever run. It runs search queries through ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, Gemini, etc., then aggregates the responses. For added financial tragedy, in-between it also uses multiple embedding models and performs iterative RAG searches through different search engines. This all functions as sort of like one giant AI brain. So I pay for every search, then every embedding, then every intermediary LLM input&#x2F;output, then the final LLM input&#x2F;output. On average it costs about 10 to 30 cents per search. It&#x27;s also extremely slow.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ithy.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ithy.com</a><p>I know that sounds absurdly overkill, but that’s kind of the point. The goal is to get the most accurate and comprehensive answer possible, because it&#x27;s been vetted by a bunch of different AIs, each sourcing from different buckets of websites. Context limits today are just large enough that this type of search and cross-model iteration is possible, where we can determine the &quot;overlap&quot; between a diverse set of text to determine some sort of consensus. The idea is to get online answers that aren&#x27;t attainable from any single AI. If you end up trying this out, I&#x27;d recommend comparing Ithy&#x27;s output against the other GPTs to see the difference.<p>It&#x27;s going to cost me a fortune to run this project (I&#x27;ll probably keep it online for a month or two), but I see it as an exploration of what’s possible with today’s model APIs, rather than something that’s immediately practical. Think of it as an online o1 (without the $200&#x2F;month price tag, though I&#x27;m offering a $29&#x2F;month Pro plan to help subsidize). If nothing else, it’s a fun (and pricey) thought experiment.
