Show HN: I “wrote” a kid's book with ChatGPT and Midjourney
Two of my friends recently welcomed their first child and I "wrote" a kid's book for them using ChatGPT for the story and Midjourney for illustrations.<p>The plot was sourced from a group of friends.
Show HN: I've built a C# IDE, Runtime, and AppStore inside Excel
The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update.<p>The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component.<p>Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies to use. It unlocks most features, but it isn't intended for companies with more than 5 employees or over $1M in annual revenue.<p>I would love to hear your feedback and am happy to answer any technical questions about how QueryStorm is implemented.

Tell HN: Thank you for being fast, almost ad-free and text-only
I’ve been visiting HN for more than a day. Almost daily.<p>While Reddit, Digg, FB, Twitter etc have jammed in more features and ads looking like posts, HN has remained high signal to noise ratio.<p>Thank you for that.<p>As I get older, my brain is unable to deal with ads and too much flashy imagery/videos.<p>HN is an oasis.<p>My only ask is to revisit CSS a bit and make it mobile friendly. I.e slightly larger fonts and hit areas for expand/collapse. It’s too easy to hit the wrong button on a phone.<p>Thank you for keeping HN clean.
