Show HN: ML Blocks – Deploy multimodal AI workflows without code
Hey everyone,<p>ML Blocks is a node-based workflow builder to create multi-modal AI workflows without writing any code.<p>You connect blocks that call various visual models like GPT4v, Segment Anything, Dino etc. along with basic image processing blocks like resize, invert color, blur, crop, and several others.<p>The idea is to make it easier to deploy multi-step image processing workflows, without needing to spin up endless custom OpenCV cloud functions to glue together AI models. Usually, even if you're using cloud inference servers like Replicate, you still need to write your own image processing code to pre and post-process images in your pipeline. When you're trying to move fast, that's just unnecessary overhead.<p>With ML Blocks, you can build a workflow and deploy the whole thing as a single API. AFAIK, ML Blocks is the only end-to-end workflow builder built specifically for image processing.<p>If you're curious, our models run on Replicate, HuggingFace & Modal Labs cloud GPUs and we use React Flow for the node UX.

Show HN: Stanchion – Column-oriented tables in SQLite
Hello HN!<p>I built stanchion to scratch my own itch. I have personal applications running on SQLite where I want to store log and metric data (basically forever) but don't want to add complexity by bringing in a new database or whole separate server. Some of these applications are running on a Raspberry Pi, where storage and compute are limited, but I still want data warehouse like capabilities.<p>I envision stanchion being used in similar scenarios: on phones and resource-limited devices in applications that are already using SQLite. I know that there are alternatives like DuckDB (which is very cool), but I want stanchion to be "good enough" that it is useful without having to add whole new database technology.<p>If you think stanchion may be a good fit for your use case and you are interested in contributing, please test it and provide feedback by opening issues for any bugs, difficulties, or missing features you would need! Ideas are also welcome in this thread or as a github issue. Of course stars are always appreciated as well. The CONTRIBUTING doc in the repository has more details.<p>- Dan

Show HN: WAYF – A Simple Scheduling App
A dead-simple web app to find the best time for your next meetup with friends. No logins, no bloat. Schedule with a link.<p>---<p>When trying to schedule events with my friends, we often have a long text thread of sporadic dates and the group has to mentally combine all the messages to produce a date that works for all.<p>There are plenty of apps out there to coordinate scheduling, but I found many of them were bloated with features that didn't matter to us, required user sign ups and app downloads. This friction is enough for us to prefer rudimentary long text threads. I wanted something that I could post in the thread once, my friends can add their availability on their own time (and can edit), and we can continue on our conversation.<p>WAYF (When are you free?) is a fun side project that solves this issue. Bare-bones scheduling for what days you are free. No user accounts, no downloads, just paste a link and anyone can schedule. It's completely free.<p>I hope you like it and find it useful, I would love feedback.
