Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists
Hello HN community! I’m one of the founders of Magma, a multiplayer art platform. You might recall our earlier post (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30869131" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30869131</a>), and today we’re sharing a significant update with our artist-focused, multiplayer AI assistant, a first in the realm of collaborative creative tools. Hope you’ll like it!<p>See how it works in this YouTube video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk</a>. For in-depth understanding, here’s our documentation (<a href="https://help.magma.com/en/articles/6711598-beta-ai-assistant" rel="nofollow">https://help.magma.com/en/articles/6711598-beta-ai-assistant</a>) and our AI manifesto (<a href="https://magma.com/aimanifesto" rel="nofollow">https://magma.com/aimanifesto</a>) which is a guiding document for us.<p>We're inviting you to get hands-on with this new feature. Join any of these canvases (up to 50 live contributors each): <a href="https://magm.ai/qnss" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/qnss</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/ei74" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/ei74</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/38mr" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/38mr</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/z1ti" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/z1ti</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/zdub" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/zdub</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/ed93" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/ed93</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/1l84" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/1l84</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/xvu5" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/xvu5</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/gd9j" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/gd9j</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/pu6e" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/pu6e</a>. All of these canvases have extra feature flags enabled but if you’d like to go beyond them, feel free to join our beta community <a href="https://magm.ai/magma-beta-artspace-invite" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/magma-beta-artspace-invite</a><p>Our artist-first approach is rooted in our belief that human creativity should remain the heart of artistry. With our AI handling routine tasks, artists can focus on true creativity. Importantly, our AI preserves artists' copyright as it provides a clear distinction between human-generated and AI-generated content.<p>Beyond just art, Magma is a powerful tool for game dev and animation, offering powerful design & review tools for all stages of the creative process. Our Slack/GDrive-like workspaces (we call them Artspaces) expose API and even shell tools. One can even render any artwork in the terminal. :)<p>Technically speaking, our collaborative drawing engine is powered by Typescript, Node.JS, WebGL, with a hint of WebAssembly for hand-optimized performance that even Chromebooks can handle. The backend also leverages a high performance Typescript Deepkit Framework <a href="https://deepkit.io" rel="nofollow">https://deepkit.io</a><p>Our AI assistant runs on a worker-based architecture akin to Gitlab CI workers, currently leveraging Stable Diffusion 2.1. Future developments will allow connecting your own AI worker, training custom models within Magma, and plugging in API keys from other AI backends.<p>Feedback, questions, thoughts? Let's discuss! Happy creating with a helping hand of AI!<p>P.S. A shout-out to the HN community, our last post here helped us connect with an amazing technical angel investor who has made significant contributions. Looking forward to more such productive connections!

Show HN: Micro Chat – Private group chat
Hey all<p>I'm Asim. I'm an engineer who's been hacking on an open source project called Micro for the past eight years (<a href="https://micro.dev" rel="nofollow">https://micro.dev</a>). In that time I've done a lot of things, all Dev related but ultimately most of my career was spent working on platforms for consumer products. After many attempts I've decided the path forward is to focus on building something that solves my own problem. Micro Chat is a solution to some of the social media problems I've been having.<p>What I've been looking for most of my life is a community. A place to belong. I scoured the internet for that with strangers. But I think that's wrong. The public forums are also the wrong place to find that connection. What we need to do is focus on smaller communities starting with real connections. We need to strip away a lot of the addictive behaviours and issues created by social media. I think things like hackernews are great because it's very simple text based, with no notification and centers around conversations about topics of interest. I think that's how group chat should also be. The difference here is, I want a place to build small private communities e.g micro communities. Most real groups lose their value beyond a certain size. For me that's around 20 people. As an introvert I really care about strong connections with a handful of people. Unfortunately those real world connections are now spread globally as people moved away and while we have private slacks or WhatsApp grojps to stay in touch it just feels like the wrong setup for that. If anything I want to consolidate it into one place.<p>Anyway I'm sharing this now to get some feedback. I think the tech and the product will evolve but only by finding out if others feel the same.<p><a href="https://micro.mu" rel="nofollow">https://micro.mu</a>

Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment
HB here, sharing my first post ; )<p>I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills.<p>Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours?<p><a href="https://candydate.app" rel="nofollow">https://candydate.app</a>, has the following goals:<p>1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms.
2. Employ AI to help rank applicants for each role, based on human factors and company culture.
3. Transform the selection process into something akin to scrolling through TikTok or using Tinder.<p>Job seekers won't need to fill out forms, attach resumes, create an account or download anything. They just scan a QR code, record a short video, and they're done. It's truly simple!<p>The aim was never to build an ATS (too complex for our needs) or a job listing site (there are many already). Instead, something simpler, to use wherever we already advertise vacancies, be it online or in print.<p>We believe small businesses that lack recruitment tools (like we did) might appreciate it, although Candydate can certainly help businesses of all sizes.<p>I have no idea how to launch or promote this type of tool, so any feedback or tips on spreading the word or improving the app would be immensely appreciated.<p>Many thanks, HN!
Show HN: Splitzy – Dead simple and privacy-friendly website A/B testing
Hi! I'm the founder of Splitzy.<p>Most of the A/B testing solutions out there are way too enterprisey for solopreneurs and indie devs... so I created Splitzy!

Show HN: I open sourced the QR designer from my failed startup
My designer is somewhat special, if I do say so myself, as it allows you to put arbitrary designs in the middle area of the QR while still being totally scannable.
