Show HN: Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port)
I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets for <a href="https://dj.app/" rel="nofollow">https://dj.app/</a>. When it came time to open source wxWidgets-wasm, I decided to port another complex app as a test case, and Audacity seemed like the obvious choice. In the process, I also needed to write a new host API for PortAudio for playback and recording in the browser.<p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm</a><p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm</a><p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy</a>

Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon
A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc.<p>The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly.<p>This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing marketplace.<p>In 2019, I started building the first piece, Openship, an order management system that lets you source orders and fulfill them from anywhere. Now that that’s in stable release, next up is Openfront (an e-commerce platform for storefronts) and Opensupport (ticketing software for customer support). Together, they provide the staples for any modern business: sales, fulfillment, support.<p>Let me know what you guys think of the idea and if you see any potential pitfalls.

Show HN: Open-source infra for building embedded data pipelines
Hey HN!<p>We are building *open source infrastructure for deploying customer-facing data pipelines.*<p>Here’s our repo <a href="https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird</a> and website <a href="https://pipebird.com/" rel="nofollow">https://pipebird.com/</a>.<p>Pipebird (YC W22) is designed to enable companies that generate important data to offer secure data pushes to their customers’ warehouses, directly from their products.<p>Our team was previously building in fintech, where we heard from many of our peers that their customers wanted data pushed directly to their warehouses. Customers wanted to bring data into their source of truth without having to maintain custom built pipelines or introduce security risks by contracting a third-party ETL/ELT provider.<p>After seeing Stripe <a href="https://stripe.com/data-pipeline" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/data-pipeline</a> and customer.io <a href="https://customer.io/data-warehouse" rel="nofollow">https://customer.io/data-warehouse</a> recently invest in building out their own native data sharing products, we realized that many SaaS companies could better support their customers and even generate additional revenue by offering native data pipelines.<p>Our goal with Pipebird is to make creating a reliable data pipeline as simple as pressing a button from a vendor's dashboard.<p>With the current iteration of the product, data can be selected from a number of sources (ex: Postgres, MySQL, CockroachDB, etc.), customers can configure pipelines and optionally apply transformations (like type casting), and data can be periodically synced directly to customers’ warehouses (ex: Snowflake). We’re actively adding sources/destinations and would appreciate any feature requests.<p>Here's a 2 min demo of the product <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/c7a7e4b4e57c4015b533fd754c510b2e" rel="nofollow">https://www.loom.com/share/c7a7e4b4e57c4015b533fd754c510b2e</a><p>Pipebird is open source (MIT license) so that any developer can use it. Our aim is to not charge individual developers - we make money selling paid plans that include features like multiple projects, user permissions, additional security features, managed infra, support, etc.<p>Give us a whirl: <a href="https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird</a>. We’d love your feedback and will be here to answer any questions!

Using GPT-3 to answer annoying interview application questions
Hi folks. My wife has been looking for a job and sometimes in the application forms there are annoying questions like "Why do you want to work here?". At the same time I've been playing around with GPT-3 and have blown away by it's capabilities, so I decided to build a site that can answer these annoying questions for her.<p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/Lior539/why-do-you-want-to-work-here" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Lior539/why-do-you-want-to-work-here</a><p>Here's an example of a generated answer:
Using this opening for a Senior iOS Engineer at Monzo -<a href="https://boards.greenhouse.io/monzo/jobs/3838039" rel="nofollow">https://boards.greenhouse.io/monzo/jobs/3838039</a>
The generated answer question on the application "What attracted you to Monzo?":
"What attracted me to Monzo is that it is a bank that is trying to make a difference in the world by making it easier for people to manage their money. Monzo is also very customer focused and puts the customer first in everything they do."
