Show HN: Groundhog-day.com – structured groundhog data

Over the last year, I've worked on aggregating Groundhog data, including predictions, location, and a cute photo.<p>Welcome to GROUNDHOG-DAY.com: The clean and breathable, machine-readable, all-regional data source for Groundhog Day forecasts. Find your fave groundhog, peruse past predictions, or trek the continent-wide Groundhog Map.<p>Includes enterprise-grade API for corporate use cases.

AI model on a $3 chip (ESP32)

We finished a design that allows a plug-and-play solution with TensorFlow Lite and a web server with the UI on ESP32. Here is a video of the process: <a href="https://youtu.be/aEZX3JMzwTo" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/aEZX3JMzwTo</a><p>I wanted to share the design in case anyone is interested as the camera is aimed at developers who want to play with AI models on the embedded side.

Show HN: KnifeGeek – Online Database of Pocket Knives

Hey HN! About a year ago i stumbled upon the world of swords, knives, and EDC gear. A weirdly addicting (and expensive) hobby to have.<p>Back then i noticed something, it was quite tedious to easily sift and search through knives based on length, steel, brand, and what not to find the knife for me. There were some great youtube channels that helped me pick out what i wanted however i had to sit through multiple 30 minute videos just to review 10-15 knives or so each.<p>Recently i've been having a little trouble sleeping so i decided to pickup a new passion project to work on late at night, here's KnifeGeek!<p>it's a completely free website where you can search, filter, and sift through an extensive knife database (over 60K+ knives) and add them to your collection or wishlist. You do need to sign in to add stuff to your wishlist or collection and after a bunch of advanced searches.<p>Please check it out and let me know if you think anything is missing! I'll try to flesh it out more on a daily basis if people find it cool or useful.<p>Planning to add in price comparison functionality and more data per knife in the next week.<p>PS: Images are a little shoddy, working on that.

Show HN: We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative

For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: <a href="https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev">https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev</a>. Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app.<p>Why we built this:<p>- We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases.<p>- Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great experience. We prefer using our own IDEs, version control, and having access to GitHub Copilot etc.<p>- Sometimes, a workflow requires us to query a database or handle some sensitive information. It would be great if this data wasn’t sent to a third party.<p>Our beta version lets you:<p>- Trigger workflows from webhooks, custom events or schedules (CRON)<p>- Use API integrations with Slack, GitHub, Shopify and Resend. We’re adding more of these each week.<p>- Add delays of up to 1 year. Workflows will resume where they left off, even if your server has gone down.<p>- Support for Fetch and subscribing to generic webhooks.<p>- Observe every workflow run in the app (great for debugging).<p>- Open source MIT license so anyone can self-host the platform.<p>We’re still early so would love your feedback and opinions. Feel free to try us out for free – and if you want a specific API integrated, just let us know.<p>Main website: <a href="https://trigger.dev">https://trigger.dev</a> Github: <a href="https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev">https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev</a>

Show HN: Merit – Career mentorship for tech workers

Hello Hacker News!<p>I built a free service where you can schedule 1:1 video mentorship calls with senior ICs and managers in software engineering, product management, and design. The goal is to remove barriers to building a professional network that can help you grow your career like building skills and getting referrals. Right now we’re limited to folks living or working in the US or Canada, but we’re working on expanding beyond that one day.<p>Without logging in, you can browse mentors here: <a href="https://www.get-merit.com/mentors" rel="nofollow">https://www.get-merit.com/mentors</a><p>Between tech layoffs, hybrid work, and an uncertain industry outlook, I hope this can be a useful resource for you or someone you know, especially if you do not have a large professional network.<p>I would love to hear your feedback!

Show HN: DocAsker – Use LLMs to ask documentation questions

We've built this over the last few weeks to leverage vector search and LLMs (this is backed by GPT-3.5, though we're also testing Flan-T5) to answer question over large sets of documents with references. Currently, we've ingested the documentation for React and some key adjacent libraries (Redux, React-Redux, React-Router, MUI). This allows you to ask various natural language questions and the output is hopefully a relevant answer with code examples if applicable, while sourcing the original docs whenever possible.<p>We're working on adding up more documentations and have more "general" questions (e.g., query your own notion documentation). Any feedback is appreciated at this stage, let us know what you think and if there are any libs you'd like to see added!

Show HN: TunnlTo – Windows WireGuard split tunnel client built with Rust, Tauri

Hi Everyone,<p>TunnlTo is a tool for controlling which Windows applications, processes, and IP addresses can use a WireGuard VPN tunnel. Here are some examples of how it could be used:<p>- Route only FireFox through a privacy VPN - Route Slack and Microsoft Office through a work VPN - Route a game through a gaming VPN - Stop a game from routing through a privacy VPN - Stop a browser from routing through a work VPN - Route a specific IP address range through a privacy VPN - Route all traffic through a privacy VPN except a specific IP address range<p>I have been collaborating on this project with the creator of WireSock - Vadim Smirnov.<p><i>"WireSock VPN Client is a lightweight command line WireGuard VPN client for Windows that has advanced features not available in the official WireGuard for Windows such as selective application tunneling and disallowed IP addresses.<p>WireSock VPN Client combines the power of Windows Packet Filter and BoringTun (user space WireGuard implementation in Rust) to provide exceptional performance, security and scalability."</i><p>The TunnlTo app is built with Tauri and I've used boring old HTML, CSS (bootstrap) and JavaScript as I had major JS framework fatigue. I have previously built a production app with Electron and Vue. Tauri appealed to me for its use of Rust and its small installation sizes. I tried Tauri pre version 1.0 and had a bit of trouble but this time around its been a positive experience. The docs and the Discord community have come a long way.<p>I would appreciate any feedback about the project so I can get an idea of what direction to take it in next. Vadim will be around a little later if anyone is curious about the WireGuard implementation and wants to know more.<p>Thanks for reading!
