Show HN: Timbre – An app that finds the best sounds for your sleep

Hey all, I'm currently a solo iOS developer who just released my first app, Timbre, onto the App Store (iPhone only for now). Here's a demo to show you how it works: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALoPAFb31Bk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALoPAFb31Bk</a>.<p>Timbre originally came about because I wanted to build a sleep sounds & sleep tracker app. I had used Headspace, Calm, Pillow, etc. and figured that instead of paying $70 / year I could just build my own app and pay $100 / year (not a great plan in retrospect). As I started building Timbre, I realized that one of the biggest issues I had with these other apps is that I could never really see which sounds genuinely helped me sleep. With that in mind, I pivoted on my original idea and decided to really hone in on connecting sleep quality and sounds.<p>Using a custom ML model, Apple's CoreML framework and HealthKit's sleep stage data, I made it so that Timbre could calculate a personal sleep quality score. Therefore, when you record a sleep session while listening to a sound, the app can rank the sounds you've listened to based on your sleep quality scores over time.<p>Of course, the app also has a smart alarm, offline support, sleep analysis and more, but I'd love to get some feedback & suggestions from the demo video. Also feel free to ask me any questions and I'd be happy to answer them!

Show HN: Shortbread – Create AI comics in minutes

Just go to the link and click on "Start Creating". No signing in required.<p>I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics / manga series. The onboarding process helps you kick start a page from 60%, then you can use your creativity to bring it to 1000% in a fully-controllable editor.<p>Tech stack:<p>GPT 3.5 Turbo - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue.<p>SD 1.5 - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels. Per the experiments of u/Deathmarkedadc on Reddit, this massively helps with consistency. The models are trained on anime scenes tho, and might not be so great with animals.<p>Frontend: Next.js 13 on Vercel, React + Typescript. We built the entire editor from scratch to compose the comic (images, panels, speech bubbles, text) like a webpage. This allows you to edit and republish your comics like a website. You can dynamically generate panels as well. Try resizing a panel into a long narrow box and generate.<p>Backend: Firebase.<p>Sample comics:<p>a japanese couple sits at dinner table. The husband told the wife a secret (link <a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-3098e0044bf5_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-...</a>)<p>An army of male soldiers fighting against an army of female soldiers in ancient china (<a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-85bcd2e58785_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-...</a>)<p>a team of girls play volleyball against a team of boys (<a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-62d87080d66b_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-...</a> )<p>Next steps:<p>- More pages<p>- Fine panel-level control. Poses, control net, etc.<p>- Multi-character.<p>- Different styles.<p>- Allows you to control character design.<p>I’m Fengjiao Peng, founder and chief engineer at Shortbread. I was previously a webtoon artist. We want to build this into something you can create entire comics series / manga / webtoons with. Criticism and suggestions welcome!

Show HN: A job application tracker with company reviews, recruiter autoresponder

Hey folks. Rolepad is a product born out of my dissatisfaction with hiring processes - both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Processes that are non-transparent, inefficient, and full of frustration for both sides. This early iteration has focused on the application tracking aspects with a few extra goodies.<p>These days it is common to apply to dozens of positions (some users track over a hundred opportunities). Without a record-keeping system, it can quickly become an unmanageable mess. Even the better-organized among us often end up juggling spreadsheets, emails, and various notes. Rolepad was built to keep this data (company facts, role details, interview stages, contact info, freeform notes, follow-up actions, and more) in one place. Some of the other neat additions:<p>- Forward emails to save@rolepad.com to save them as notes connected to specific opportunities. Forward recruiter messages to no@rolepad.com to have the system automatically reply with a decline response.<p>- Generate shareable Sankey charts of your progress like this: <a href="https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32</a><p>- Submit anonymous reviews and insights about application/interview/offer processes at a company . This is new and there aren’t great examples to share yet (<a href="https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org</a> is an early glimpse), and I didn’t want to create fake data as a matter of principle.<p>Oh yeah, and it’s totally free :) Creating an account is passwordless and takes seconds, but if you want to kick the tires even faster, I created test credentials for this occasion:<p><pre><code> username: test@rolepad.com password: hntest </code></pre> With this release, I am also starting conversations with employers (<a href="https://rolepad.com/employers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/employers</a>). A unified platform for candidates and employers can significantly reduce frustration for both in ways that email cannot. I should note that any solutions here have privacy implications and will require an exceedingly thoughtful execution.<p>And now for the tech stack. The main application uses React with Tailwind on the frontend, C# on the backend, hosted in AWS (App Runner, Lambda, RDS Postgres, SES), with auth provided by Google Firebase, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. The home page is actually an SSR (server-side rendered) application built with vite-plugin-ssr (now vike) and hosted in a Cloudflare Worker that hits the AWS-hosted API. This is basically a best-of-all-worlds SSR configuration - very fast, zero cold start (!), and essentially free.<p>Any and all feedback is sincerely appreciated!
