Show HN: When Will I Run Out Of Money? (weekend project)
Hi everyone, I’ve been on Hacker News for a good number of years, but this is my first “Show HN”.<p>I changed jobs recently. Tax is weird in Europe (and maybe other places as well?) in that different amounts go out at different times and repeat at various intervals. I needed to make sure I had enough cashflow to make all upcoming payments, I didn't want any surprises.<p>So I created a little tool for my own purposes, then had fun putting a small HTML frontend on it as I thought it might be useful for someone else. I'm a backend developer in my day job, as you can probably tell from the design :)<p>There are other tools out there that do a similar thing, but they normally require you to upload the relevant data to other people's servers, which I wasn't comfortable with for financial data. Also I didn't fancy paying anyone for a service as small as this.<p>I'm posting it here in the hope that it's useful to someone. And to gather feedback, let me know what you think.
Show HN: Remote terminal via WebRTC, incl. file-transfer – no SSH/VPN required
Perhaps the easiest way to get a shell on your remote devices wherever they are (even behind NATs and firewalls) -- no VPN required. Offers file transfer right from the terminal itself.<p>Because it is web-based and connects via WebRTC it is better than VPN + SSH in every way:
- no setup required on the client machine, it hence works on all OSs and even your phone,
- it will always find the shortest-path to your robots, meaning it won’t go through the cloud if you are on the same network as your robot
- still end-to-end encrypted
- file upload via drag & drop
- file download by clicking on filenames in ls<p>The UI component can be embedded anywhere you like and you can specify the device to connect to directly in the embedding code.<p>This solves a common pain-point in robotics, but seems equally useful in many other applications. Please share your thoughts and questions if you have any!<p>Short demo: <a href="https://youtu.be/doYcVNRtbAU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/doYcVNRtbAU</a>
Show HN: Preserve your families legacy for centuries
Hey everyone, creator of clann.app here.<p>I will try to keep this short but at the end of the day you will be forgotten one day. I know this feels sad and
it really is. I mean ask yourself who your great-grandfather is, you don't know!<p>Heck, we don't even know how they lived their life. Now their generation had very little access to computers let alone the internet. The problem isn't about the future knowing who you are but them understanding how your generation lived their life.<p>Further we often tend to forget about our extended family. I am from India and after every single exam someone from my extended family who I met ONCE in my life would ask me my results. I would rarely know how they are related to me. This is a problem. Further dinner table discussions about how people are related to me are always a pain. Why? Sometimes even my parents don't know!<p>The Solution?
What if you could get your entire family into the digital world, Yes, it is possible! Upload images (feature name: memories) of your family today so that your future generations would truly appreciate how much their lives have improved. Clann is built for intergenerational use and has a robust invites system (feature name: groups, invites) so that you only allow your extended family members to see a certain family. If you have any queries you can contact me on @PottiVarun.<p>Think of Clann as Figma for families. Get your entire family on there, Invite other families (relatives) and link each family by how they are related. Everything is in a clean flow char based UI.<p>The link is <a href="https://clann.app" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://clann.app</a>.<p>You and I need to be remembered for the coming centuries. We need to leave a mark on this world. Lets leave a small digital footprint so that the
future understands and appreciates their world!<p>Goodbye!
Show HN: Open Interpreter – CodeLlama in your terminal, executing code
Hey HN. Over the summer I built Open Interpreter, a CLI that lets you ask Code-Llama or GPT-4 to write/run code.<p>It runs multiple languages (Python, Shell, HTML/CSS, Node JS rn) then sends the output back to the language model.<p>It’s essentially an open-source, local implementation of OpenAI’s Code Interpreter. No limits on file size, runtime timeouts, or web access.<p>Everything is streamed beautifully, rendered with Markdown, and syntax highlighted.<p>Try it out and let me know what you tried! - Killian

Show HN: Query your database using plain English, fully on-premises
Hi folks,<p>My friend Sami and I recently built Vizly, a Mac application that allows anyone to query their databases using plain English.<p>Vizly is built on Llama 2, llama.cpp, and runs fully on-prem (edit: meaning everything is local and your data never leaves your own computer).<p>We are running two Llama models, one for natural language to SQL translation, and another that uses the results from the SQL to render visualizations. That means there are no external APIs and all the AI models are running locally on your MacBook.<p>We tried to make Vizly very easy to share as well. Every Vizly instance creates a share link that can be accessed by anyone on the same network as you. Just send the share link to anyone on the same network and they will be immediately able to run AI-powered queries, hosted from your device.<p>Vizly previously used to be a hosted solution for querying CSVs and now we are on-prem specifically focussed on databases.<p>Would love if you could try it out and give us any feedback!

Show HN: I automated half of my typing
I've been using this for about a year now - I parsed 6 months of my messages on slack and found the most common phrases I use and generated keyboard shortcuts for them.

Show HN: Mu – A Micro App Platform
Hey all<p>Sharing a new piece of work I've been doing with a friend. Mu is a new micro web app platform which enables building and sharing apps instantly with storage, auth and payments built in. Apps are single file, built in the browser and rendered as an iframe. They're "micro" because they're quite literally tiny single purpose utilities like a hackernews reader or old school guest book. It's mostly at this point something that scratches a personal itch. Making app development super simple and lightweight. Sort of like living GitHub gists. And trying to build a simpler, cleaner place to consume the web. Right now nothing more than a cool hack I'm sharing. Feedback obviously welcome.<p>Cheers
