Show HN: I made a privacy friendly and simple app to track my menstruation

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own.<p>Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway.<p>For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary.<p>So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

Show HN: OpenLIT – Open-Source LLM Observability with OpenTelemetry

Hey HN, we're super excited to share something we've been working on: OpenLIT. After an engaging preview that some of you might recall, we are now proudly announcing our first stable release!<p>What's OpenLIT? Simply put, OpenLIT is an open-source tool designed to make monitoring your Large Language Model (LLM) applications straightforward. It’s built on OpenTelemetry, aiming to reduce the complexities that come with observing the behavior and usage of your LLM stack.<p>Beyond Basic Text Generation: OpenLIT isn’t restricted to just text and chatbot outputs. It now includes automatic monitoring capabilities for GPT-4 Vision, DALL·E, and OpenAI Audio. Essentially, we're prepared to assist you with your multi-modal LLM projects all through a single platform and we're not stopping here; more updates and model support are on their way!<p>Key Features:<p>- Instant Alerts: Offers immediate insights on cost & token usage, in-depth usage analysis, and latency metrics. - Comprehensive Coverage: Supports a range of LLM Providers, Vector DBs, and Frameworks - everything from OpenAI and AnthropicAI to ChromaDB, Pinecone, and LangChain. - Aligned with Standards: OpenLIT follows the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions for GenAI, ensuring your monitoring efforts meet the community's best practices.<p>Wide Integration Compatibility: For those already utilizing observability tools, OpenLIT integrates with various telemetry destinations, including OpenTelemetry Collector, Jaeger, Grafana Cloud, and more, expanding your data’s reach and utility.<p>Getting Started: Check our quickstart guide and explore how OpenLIT can enhance your LLM project monitoring: <a href="https://docs.openlit.io/latest/quickstart" rel="nofollow">https://docs.openlit.io/latest/quickstart</a><p>We genuinely believe OpenLIT can change the game in how LLM projects are monitored and managed. Feedback from this community could be invaluable as we continue to improve and expand. So, if you have thoughts, suggestions, or questions, we’re all ears.<p>Let’s push the boundaries of LLM observability together.<p>Check out OpenLIT here: <a href="https://github.com/openlit/openlit">https://github.com/openlit/openlit</a><p>Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: Dotenv, if it is a Unix utility

I like the idea of using dotenv files, but I dislike having to use different language-specific libraries to read them.<p>To solve this, I created a small utility that lets you prefix any command with "dotenv" to load the ".env" file.<p>This is how I imagine dotenv would work if it had started as a UNIX utility rather than a Node.js library.

AdBlitz: It automatically skips the skippable ads and accelerates(16x) non skippable ones, enusring there is no interruption. It can skips multiple ads, yt surveys without affecting your youtube account as well as no effect on creator's economy<p>No setting up things. Lightweight. Just download and enjoy. Most importantly it is open source.

Show HN: Blot – code, art, robots and open source education

For the last few years, I've been working at a non-profit called Hack Club developing tools to support self-motivated teens to learn about technology and build community with other like-minded peers while doing so.<p>This has resulted in the development of a model called "you ship, we ship." We build open source creative coding environments, and when teenagers share the projects they make with these tools, we send them materials to dive deeper into the subject and related technologies. Our approach is predicated on the constructionist idea that people learn best by building things they care about and sharing them with others. The vision we have is to create a public collection of creative learning tools that offer people projects they can do right away and communities of practice to engage with.<p>Blot is our next installment in the series. It's designed to be a gateway to CNC robotics through digital art. If you'd like to see some of the projects people have made so far, you can check out:<p><a href="https://blot.hackclub.com/gallery" rel="nofollow">https://blot.hackclub.com/gallery</a><p>You can also find projects from our first "you ship, we ship" called Sprig. It's a game console you get by building a game for it.<p><a href="https://sprig.hackclub.com/gallery" rel="nofollow">https://sprig.hackclub.com/gallery</a><p>I'd love people's thoughts on the model and ideas for other subjects in technology we could build projects around.

Show HN: Scenestamps – A website for sharing movie scenes with timestamps

Hello hackers,<p>I've launched a website specifically for sharing scenes, complete with descriptions and timestamps from various films and TV shows. I'm reaching out to gather your perspectives and recommendations in these domains to improve the site and extend my outreach.<p>Link : <a href="https://scenestamps.com" rel="nofollow">https://scenestamps.com</a><p>You are not required to register/login to browse the site.<p>Scenestamps Features:<p>1. Search : You can directly search for a scene or a source.<p>2. Upload Posts : You can register with your google account, login and start posting right away. Unlike other sites in this specific domain, users are allowed to upload posts.<p>There are two types of posts - scene - source<p>Source is a movie,tv show, documentary, etc... One source can have multiple scenes<p>While creating a scene post, source can be selected there.<p>Scene post will have the timestamp fields. There are two types of it: - single - one input field of timestamp in which the scene happens. - from-to - two input fields, from and to within which the scene takes place.<p>3. Share posts : Share feature is available on both source and scene posts, with which you can share the post to your favorite social media platforms<p>4. Tagging system : You can add tag to the scene posts. You can also get all the scenes that has that tag name by clicking on it.<p>I think people wanting to create scenes is quite a small audience, but I want to make this the best it can possibly be so please post any problems or suggestions in the replies or at reddit.com/scenestamps.com or message me x.com/gjpx_ if you prefer.

Show HN: Cognita – open-source RAG framework for modular applications

Hey HN, exciting news! Our RAG framework, Cognita (<a href="https://github.com/truefoundry/cognita">https://github.com/truefoundry/cognita</a>), born from collaborations with diverse enterprises, is now open-source. Currently, it offers seamless integrations with Qdrant and SingleStore.<p>In recent weeks, numerous engineers have explored Cognita, providing invaluable insights and feedback. We deeply appreciate your input and encourage ongoing dialogue (share your thoughts in the comments – let's keep this ‘open source’).<p>While RAG is undoubtedly powerful, the process of building a functional application with it can feel overwhelming. From selecting the right AI models to organizing data effectively, there's a lot to navigate. While tools like LangChain and LlamaIndex simplify prototyping, an accessible, ready-to-use open-source RAG template with modular support is still missing. That's where Cognita comes in.<p>Key benefits of Cognita:<p>1. Central repository for parsers, loaders, embedders, and retrievers. 2. User-friendly UI empowers non-technical users to upload documents and engage in Q&A. 3. Fully API-driven for seamless integration with other systems.<p>We invite you to explore Cognita and share your feedback as we refine and expand its capabilities. Interested in contributing?
