Show HN: A web-app to explore topics using LLM
Lately, I've been tinkering with llama.cpp and the ollama server. The speed of these tools caught my attention, even on my modest 4060 setup. I was quite impressed with the generation quality of models like Mistral.<p>But I was a bit unhappy at the same time because whenever I explore a topic, there is a lot of typing involved when using the chat interface. So I needed a tool to not only give a response but also generate a set of "suggestions" which can be explored further just by clicking.<p>My experience in front-end development is limited. Nonetheless, I tinkered together a small web app to achieve the same goal. It is built with vuejs3+vuetify.<p>Code: <a href="https://github.com/charstorm/llmbinge/">https://github.com/charstorm/llmbinge/</a>

Show HN: Scan QR codes to check in guests registered via Google Forms
Hi HN!<p>I made a no-code platform for creating physical data collection apps, using QR codes [1].
It does not yet have a self-service config UI though, which limits adoption.<p>That's why I recently released a Google Forms™ add-on for QR code check-in, based on the platform. This focused use-case makes it easy to provide a fully self-service config UI.<p>How it works:<p>1. Create your Google Form as you normally would [2]<p>2. Activate the add-on if you hadn't already [3]<p>3. Craft a confirmation email to be sent to each form responder<p>Upon each form submission, the add-on will send a PDF with a unique QR code (a V4 UUID) to the responder.<p>Have guests present this code at the event, and record check-ins in bulk using the included QR scanner.<p>See here [4] for more information, or try the Google Sheets™ version [5] (which doesn't send email).<p>[1] <a href="https://admin.trak.codes/" rel="nofollow">https://admin.trak.codes/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://forms.google.com/" rel="nofollow">https://forms.google.com/</a><p>[3] <a href="https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_ticket_for_attendance/9398047938" rel="nofollow">https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_ticket_...</a><p>[4] <a href="https://blog.darkaa.com/qr-code-pass-per-response-google-forms-addon/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.darkaa.com/qr-code-pass-per-response-google-for...</a><p>[5] <a href="https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_pass_for_attendance/1028329904752" rel="nofollow">https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/qr_code_pass_fo...</a>

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer.<p>Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds.<p>I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source.<p>Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.

Show HN: Just.sh – compiler that turns Justfiles into portable shell scripts
Justfiles are like Makefiles, except Just is a command runner, whereas Make is a build system. As I understand it, Just was built to be a less arcane version of Make for collecting commands common to a code repository.<p>When I first learned about Just, I realized that parsing arguments and running commands is exactly what shell scripts do, and there probably isn't much Just does that sh doesn't. This project proves that hypothesis by compiling Justfiles to portable (POSIX-compatible) shell scripts.<p>just.sh is particularly useful for running Justfiles in esoteric environments where Just may not be straightforward to install, such as some CI/CD pipeline environments.
