Show HN: go-nbd – A Pure Go NBD Server and Client
Hey HN! I just released go-nbd, a lightweight Go library for effortlessly creating NBD servers and clients. Its a neat tool for creating custom Linux block devices with arbitrary backends, such as a file, byte slice or what I'm planning to use it for, a tape drive. While there are a few partially abandoned projects like this out there already, this library tries to be as maintainable as possible by only implementing the most recent handshake revision and baseline functionality for both the client and the server, while still having enough support to be useful.<p>I'd love to get your feedback :)
Show HN: Customizable, embeddable Chat GPT based on your own documents
Hi Hacker News!<p>My name is Bea, I built a site called Libraria that uses GPT to do a few things<p>1. Let you spin up multiple assistants based on your own documents. You can make it public, private, or protected. It has its own subdomain and landing page.
2. Respond in full markdown always, so it can output images, links, code, and more
3. Let you upload articles on the fly within the Chat, so you can ask it questions
4. Make it embeddable in your site with one line of code
5. Let you update it for fun / with your branding
5. Enable syncing for any URLs you let us scrape, so that you can make sure it's always up to date
6. Let you upload multiple file types<p>I've been working on this for about a month now by myself and you can keep track of my feature updates here: <a href="https://libraria.dev/feature-updates" rel="nofollow">https://libraria.dev/feature-updates</a><p>I would LOVE your feedback on anything, and If you're willing to try it out I'm looking for a few beta users that can provide me more continuous feedback that I would gladly waive the fee for!

Show HN: I built developer tooling for the Airtable API that I needed
As a software engineer, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of working with the Airtable API.<p>As more non-technical users began using the platform in our growing business, the need for engineering to automate processes and sync data into Airtable grew. However, keeping track of process failures and ensuring that no unresolved failures slipped by was difficult and required significant effort.<p>That's why I created Airwalker, a toolkit that improves the reliability of processes using the Airtable API and helps you correct issues quickly and with minimal effort.<p>Here are some of the features Airwalker offers:<p>* Base schema timeline<p>* Request/response logging<p>* Edit & replay<p>* Custom automatically maintained TypeScript types<p>Airwalker is free to use right now, and I welcome any feedback or suggestions.

Show HN: Document Q&A with GPT: web, .pdf, .docx, etc.
Hello fellow hackers,
we made a site that gets GPT to answer your question using the info on a webpage you specify or document you upload (e.g., a large textbook .pdf file).<p>Background:
When ChatGPT came out, I had the idea of having it pull answers from my stereo receiver's annoyingly dense 32 page manual. My weekend project prototype proceeded to surprise with great answers—just like what we've all experienced by now. My co-founder thought we should productize it, and make it easy to use online. So here we are with a very early beta! (Try it on a HN thread...)

Show HN: A fully open-source (Apache 2.0)implementation of llama
We believe that AI should be fully open source and part of the collective knowledge.<p>The original LLaMA code is GPL licensed which means any project using it must also be released under GPL.<p>This "taints" any other code and prevents meaningful academic and commercial use.<p>Lit-LLaMA solves that for good.

Show HN: Time-tracker that helps me with context switches and documentation
Hi HN!<p>I was feeling incredibly frustrated with my struggles in context-switching and writing documentation, so I decided to take action and find a solution.<p>I wrote a simple tool for Alfred and Raycast that helps me be more mindful when switching between tasks, which can even prevent some of those switches. Plus, I can jot down quick notes on each task as I go, making it easier to document everything once I’m finished.<p>This tool is really simple with only 5 commands - tsr, tsn, tsl, tsv, tse<p>tsr writes a new record<p>tsn writes a new note<p>tsl shows you the current task<p>tsv builds a static html page displaying a single timeline of the tasks and notes<p>tse opens the directory where records are stored for easy manual editing<p>TSR stores your data as simple csv files in ~/tsr, making it super easy to integrate with other tools or perform your own custom analysis and visualisation magic. The built-in tsv timeline visualisation is rather simple and doesn’t do any analysis (for now at least).<p>It depends solely on Python3 and works offline.
I encourage you to check the python scripts to see how simple they are and potentially adapt them to your own needs.<p>Let me know what you think!
