Show HN: Place to support and validate early startup ideas
I made this for people like myself who keep a list of ideas for apps / startups.<p>I also made it for people who are curious to see what projects others have "in their drawer"... and who may want to have a say in which idea should see the light of day.<p><a href="https://ideas.dynamate.io/" rel="nofollow">https://ideas.dynamate.io/</a><p>The site allows creators to anonymously showcase their idea:<p>Title. Description text. Maybe some mockups...<p>I've tried to make it so that it's quick and easy to just dump an idea in there that's been sitting on some list of yours for months - and hopefully get some feedback on it.<p>If someone else on the site sees your idea and likes it, they have various choices of showing support:<p>They can upvote.<p>They can subscribe to progress updates.<p>They can tell you why they want it (there's a questionaire that is loosely based on "The Mom Test").<p>And they can even send you money as encouragement.<p>As the owner of an idea, you can see how many unique upvotes, subscriptions, etc. your idea has received. You get a nice table of all the ideas you have on the site, sorted by feedback score. Also, in the case of non-anonymous subscriptions or donations, you can get in touch with early supporters.<p>Publicly, though, neither upvotes nor any other form of support for an idea are shown. This is so you cannot go to the site and just grab the most popular ideas from there. And also so that each idea can get the same amount of exposure and attention.<p>There are many great books out there on validating startup ideas. And my site won't be a replacement for those. Rather, it's designed as a low hanging fruit to get your idea out there.<p>I hope some of you find it useful. Feel free to test it out on the ideas I've posted on there. And perhaps share some of your own!<p>Also curious to hear your feedback both on the idea itself and the execution so far.<p>The site is still early beta. Please let me know if you run into any bugs. Also, and ideas how I can make it better would be greatly appreciated.<p>Thanks!

Show HN: Brew.fm – Let bots discover new music on Spotify for you
Use Spotify? This tool will automate your music discovery for you. Join here (100% perpetually free with no strings attached): <a href="https://brew.fm" rel="nofollow">https://brew.fm</a><p>Some time ago, I built and showed HN[1] brew.fm, a tool helping artists remix each other’s work. It had been quiet, and I remembered how fun it was to work with the Spotify API, so I repurposed the tool to solve one of my own problems: missing out on new music of my favorite artists. I shared it on Reddit yesterday[2], and this seems to hit a spot for more people: so far 833 people connected their Spotify account.<p>How it works: The tool simply shows your top 50 artists on Spotify over short, medium and long term, and checks those artists for new music. If you select a playlist, every artist involved in the tracks will be checked for new music, after which new releases are shown sorted by most recent release date.<p>Here’s a video of me demoing the tool: <a href="https://youtu.be/Nh2Ognb4PgU" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/Nh2Ognb4PgU</a>. Enjoy!

Show HN: Euporie Console – a terminal console for Jupyter kernels
I've been working on a new terminal console for interacting with Jupyter kernels.<p>It can display rich output in the terminal, including images (using Sixel / Kitty / iTerm2 terminal graphics protocols), ipywidgets, LaTeX, and HTML. You can also save your terminal session as a Jupyter notebook.

Tell HN: A new way to use GPT-3 to generate code (and everything else)
Hi HN,<p>One of the things that frustrates me about Copilot is that all tasks posed to it must be in the form of a completion. By writing clever comments you can get it to generate a few lines of code or a short function body, but you never get coherent long-form generations just from mashing the tab key.<p>I’m working on a different approach. Instead of requiring you specify your code generation task through stilted comments, you can use GPT-3 to fill in what I call “instructional templates”. They’re like f-strings, except the English goes on the inside and the Python goes on the outside. Additionally, each instruction’s location and surrounding context can aid in interpreting it, allowing instructions to be impressively terse.<p>I’ve collected 10 examples of the method on a Twitter thread here. Most code examples are in Python, but I also demonstrate generating CSV, NDJSON, R, Markdown, and HTML: <a href="https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1559801520773898240?s=21&t=-r-dR8pkhZ3lfCpeLOWqvw" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1559801520773898240?s=21...</a><p>I also have a few examples of more creative, non-program output in HTML and Markdown in this thread: <a href="https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1560953991722418177?s=21&t=-r-dR8pkhZ3lfCpeLOWqvw" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1560953991722418177?s=21...</a><p>Interested in any feedback, especially from anyone who’s tried to apply my method to their own problems.
