Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
NeighborHoodShare: It is a p2p files and messages sharing platform without involvement of any server. It has end-to-end encryption, ensuring your messages and files remain confidential.<p>These are some features:
- Share photos, documents, videos, and more with ease, no matter the size.
- Connect instantly with anyone for speedy and reliable file transfers, bypassing the need for centralized servers.
- Get started in minutes with our intuitive interface designed for seamless communication. No registration.
- Easily connect with others using QR codes, simplifying the sharing process further.<p>The inspiration behind NeighborHoodShare stemmed from a common dilemma: the reluctance to share personal contact details like phone numbers or email addresses when sharing photos or messages with strangers. With NeighborHoodShare, you can share content securely without compromising your privacy.<p>I would be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions for improving NeighborHoodShare.<p>I had written a blog on how p2p networking in browsers work: <a href="https://dikshantraj2001.medium.com/nat-stun-turn-and-ice-466dabbc2fdb" rel="nofollow">https://dikshantraj2001.medium.com/nat-stun-turn-and-ice-466...</a>
Show HN: I built a 100% free startup idea generator
Show HN: I hate online Lorem Ipsum Generator so I made my own
As a designer, I use Lorem Ipsum a lot but none satisfied me. They are either too slow or too clunky.<p><a href="https://loremcopy.com/" rel="nofollow">https://loremcopy.com/</a><p>It's a weekend project so why not (•‿•)<p>Also, I am new here. I didn't know about Hacker News before. Glad to meet you all.
Show HN: Bloom – A shadcn like UI library for Elixir and Phoenix
I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available.<p>The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer.<p>So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with.<p>The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well as the general quality of the repo & components.<p>Hope you like it.

Show HN: gpudeploy.com – "Airbnb" for GPUs
Hi HN,<p>YC w24 company here. We just pivoted from drone delivery to build gpudeploy.com, a website that routes on-demand traffic for GPU instances to idle compute resources.<p>The experience is similar to lambda labs, which we’ve really enjoyed for training our robotics models, but their GPUs are never available for on-demand. We are also trying to make it more no-nonsense (no hidden fees, no H100 behind “contact sales”, etc.).<p>The tech to make this work is actually kind of nifty, we may do an in-depth HN post on that soon.<p>Right now, we have H100s, a few RTX 4090s and a GTX 1080 Ti online. Feel free to try it out!<p>Also, if you’ve got compute sitting around (a GPU cluster, a crypto mining operation or just a GPU) or if you’re an AI company with idle compute (hopefully not in a Stability AI way) and want to see some ROI, it’s very simple and flexible to hook it up to our site and you’ll maybe get a few researchers using your compute.<p>Nice rest of the week!

Show HN: Hamilton's UI – observability, lineage, and catalog for data pipelines
Hey HN – Stefan and Elijah here from DAGWorks (<a href="http://dagworks.io/">http://dagworks.io/</a>, YC W23).<p>If you don’t remember us from our previous HN launch (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35056903">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35056903</a>), we’re the authors of Hamilton (<a href="https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton">https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton</a>), an open-source library for building self-documenting, modular dataflows in python that works for data, ML, LLM pipelines, & even web-workflows.<p>We’ve been developing this UI for a while and we’re excited to say we open-sourced it! It comes out of the box with the following capabilities, and only requires a single line code change to get:<p>1. Execution + metadata capture, e.g. automatic code profiling<p>2. Data/artifact observability, e.g. summary statistics over dataframes, pydantic objects, etc...<p>3. Lineage & provenance of data, e.g. quickly see what is upstream & downstream of code/data.<p>4. Asset/transform catalog, e.g. search & find if feature transforms/metrics/datasets/models exist and where they’re used.<p>While the UI currently only self-populates for Hamilton dataflows, we’re looking to expand to other frameworks (we’d love your feedback!).<p>Check out the following video for an overview: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VIVSeN7Ij8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VIVSeN7Ij8</a>, as well as the documentation: <a href="https://hamilton.dagworks.io/en/latest/concepts/ui/">https://hamilton.dagworks.io/en/latest/concepts/ui/</a>.<p>We’re looking for feedback/adopters – feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Show HN: SpRAG – Open-source RAG implementation for challenging real-world tasks
Hey HN, I’m Zach from Superpowered AI (YC S22). We’ve been working in the RAG space for a little over a year now, and we’ve recently decided to open-source all of our core retrieval tech.<p>spRAG is a retrieval system that’s designed to handle complex real-world queries over dense text, like legal documents and financial reports. As far as we know, it produces the most accurate and reliable results of any RAG system for these kinds of tasks. For example, on FinanceBench, which is an especially challenging open-book financial question answering benchmark, spRAG gets 83% of questions correct, compared to 19% for the vanilla RAG baseline (which uses Chroma + OpenAI Ada embeddings + LangChain).<p>You can find more info about how it works and how to use it in the project’s README. We’re also very open to contributions. We especially need contributions around integrations (i.e. adding support for more vector DBs, embedding models, etc.) and around evaluation.
Show HN: I built a site to share code boilerplates
While looking for some code boilerplates i realised there isn't really an easy / efficient place to browse. Boilermate.site was made for the community to share them and give a vote!

Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU
I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs).<p>I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM.<p>I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer.<p>Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see the Github for details on how you can get it to work on other browsers.<p>Note: after you send the first message, the model will be downloaded to your browser cache. That can take a while depending on the model and your internet connection. But on subsequent page loads, the model should be loaded from the IndexedDB cache so it should be much faster.<p>The project is open source (Apache 2.0) on Github. If you like it, I’d love contributions, particularly around making the first load faster.<p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/abi/secret-llama">https://github.com/abi/secret-llama</a>
