Show HN: Moonshine – open-source, pretrained ML models for satellite
Hey HackerNews,<p>Today I'd like to share my open source project, Moonshine!<p>Pretrained vision models are a popular way to reduce how much data you need and to speed up training, but for remote sensing (i.e. aerial, satellite) it can be a challenge to find good weights. Why use Moonshine?<p>1. Pretrained on multispectral data: Existing popular CV packages are nice to use but are trained on ImageNet or similar, meaning that not only is the domain of the pretraining different, but you may be restricted to only 3 channels. For remote sensing platforms with multispectral data, this might be a non-starter. Moonshine includes models specifically trained for your remote sensing problems.<p>2. Focus on usability: There are academic releases of specialized models that do support remote sensing data, but often they are difficult to use. They might be hard to install, and often are supported by a grad student who is more focused on publication than software. A core tenant of Moonshine is that it should be easy to use.<p>I've been working on this project for nearly a year now and I'm really excited to show it off and most importantly get feedback! I have big plans for what to build in the future, but this set of features was the smallest one I could think of that would provide some value.<p>Docs: <a href="https://moonshineai.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://moonshineai.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html</a>

Show HN: Dungeon Map Doodler Beta - Free online map drawing tool
This is a D&D map making tool I've been working on for a while now, but I just added some new features to the beta that I think HN users might find neat. When building a world map, you can use "Dynamic Brushes" to draw organic looking terrain. This is achieved entirely with svg filters and javascript canvas, no fancy libraries or anything. This came with a pretty large rewrite of some of the underlying code, so I'm sure there's a number of bugs I haven't come across, but I'd love to hear your opinions on it!

Show HN: Zapier's first API
Hey HN! We launched Zapier way back in 2012 on HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4138415" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4138415</a> and thought we'd return home to announce something special and hopefully exciting :) We are trying to finally live up to the "API" in our name with Zapier's first universal API:<p>Natural Language Actions – <a href="https://zapier.com/l/natural-language-actions" rel="nofollow">https://zapier.com/l/natural-language-actions</a><p>API docs – <a href="https://nla.zapier.com/api/v1/docs" rel="nofollow">https://nla.zapier.com/api/v1/docs</a><p>(to be fair, we have published APIs before that can access Zapier data, but never before one devs can use to directly call the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on our platform)<p>For example, you can use the API to:<p><pre><code> * Send messages in Slack
* Retrieve a row in a Google Sheet
* Draft a reply in Gmail
* ... and thousands more actions with one universal API
</code></pre>
We optimized NLA for use cases that receive user input in natural language (think chatbots, assistants, or any product/feature using LLMs) -- but not strictly required!<p>Folks have asked for an API for 10 years and I've always been slightly embarrassed we didn't have one. We hesitated because we did not want to pass along our universe of complexity to end devs. With the help of LLMs we found some cool patterns to deliver the API we always wanted.<p>My co-founder/CTO Bryan did an interview with Garry on YC blog with more details: <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/building-apis-for-ai-an-interview-with-zapiers-bryan-helmig" rel="nofollow">https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/building-apis-for-ai-an-int...</a><p>We also published a LangChain integration to show off some possibilities:<p><pre><code> * Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEK_9wLYEHU
* Jupyter notebook: https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/blob/master/docs/modules/utils/examples/zapier.ipynb
</code></pre>
We know the API is not perfect but we're excited and eager for feedback to help shape it.

Show HN: Generate styled web pages with just Python
There are a lot of Python to web app frameworks going around these days but I wanted something that was a little more lightweight that just generates HTML pages and can be embedded in Flask or other Python web servers incrementally.<p>PyVibe uses Python components to construct a page with styling that you can use in Flask, in a static site, or even in Pyodide.
