Show HN: Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends

YouTube started blocking me because I use an adblocker. So I made this simple Firefox Add-On (haven't made it cross-browser yet, contributions welcome!) to open videos in alternative front-ends (piped.video by default).<p>Default keybinding: Alt+J to reopen current page in the configured frontend.<p>Shift+Click to open any video in a new tab in the configured frontend.<p>You can change the default frontend to something else if you like.

Show HN: Talk to YouTube – RAG for YouTube Videos

Hi HN,<p>I built this little application for setting up RAG on Youtube video transcripts. I haven't seen a lot of RAG for multimodal use-cases so I thought this was interesting. It uses YoutubeDL to get transcripts and Vectara to set up the RAG system. It's multilingual so other languages besides english work as well.<p>The answer produced by the LLM has references with timestamps to where its deriving information from from within the video. Right now the interface is a clunky terminal but I'm planning on adding a UI or maybe a voice I/O interface to the app.<p>Full disclosure: I work at Vectara, but this was a personal/side-project!

Show HN: Willow: the fastest and most private open source voice assistant

Hey HN!<p>Voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home have sold hundreds of millions of devices.<p>Unfortunately, they come with less-than-ideal things like an always on microphone (doing who knows what), data collection, and limited integration options. Echo devices especially also end up being advertising billboards you pay for and install in your own home. No thanks, I've already heard of the Barbie movie...<p>Willow is an open source hardware and supporting software voice assistant platform. For $50 Willow hardware (from Espressif) is competitive with commercial products in every regard while being open source and completely self-hosted. Did I mention it's at least twice as fast as Alexa?<p>Willow supports integrations to Home Assistant, OpenHAB, and just about anything else with our REST command endpoint support.<p>With our initial release Willow received overwhelming interest here on HN and elsewhere when we first announced it several months ago.<p>Today (to the day) we're celebrating six months of Willow development! I made a (rare) demo video demonstrating our most recent release with features like wake only on device closest to the person talking, speaker voice authentication, dynamic configuration, over the air updates, device location, and our new web interface. All faster than ever. Check out our latest demo video:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlhSEeWJ4gs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlhSEeWJ4gs</a><p>The team and I really enjoyed the feedback and discussion in our first Show HN post months ago and we'd love to hear what you think about our progress. We also feel that at this point we've optimized accuracy and speed and are interested to hear any ideas for new functionality, etc.

Show HN: Kali – Scheduling Assistant for iOS

Hey HN! Launching Kali today and I'm super excited to iterate on this.<p>I hate scheduling and my gf got sick of managing my calendar for me, so I made an AI do it instead. :)<p>Please let me know what you think!

Show HN: I built a virtual tabletop for playing Dungeons and Dragons

Diceright is a virtual tabletop for playing dungeons and dragons with friends on the web. You can watch a quick overview of how it works here: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/diceright" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://tinyurl.com/diceright</a>. And there’s a list of the main features right on the homepage.<p>It’s a Ruby on Rails site that makes heavy use of action cable for keeping the maps and tokens in sync for all players. On the front end, I’m using HTML canvas for the maps and a js library called fabric.js for interacting with the canvas. Otherwise, just jQuery on the front end. I optimized it all to work on mobile too.<p>I built this as a side project for fun over of the past couple years. It took a lot longer than expected, but it was also a lot of fun. I did all the design / UX for it too which was a struggle at first but was a great learning experience.<p>Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Thanks!
