Show HN: Recycle your old Spotify playlists into new ones
I wanted a way to quickly generate new Spotify playlists from my library based on some simple user inputs. There are probably a bunch of songs floating around in old playlists that you will never listen to again so the Spotify Playlist Recycling Plant is an attempt to resurrect these forgotten gems!<p>At the heart of this tool is a simple custom algorithm that uses Spotify's 5000+ unique genres to find similar artists. It works well for my purposes but everybody uses Spotify differently so I'd love some feedback :)<p>Built using React and the Spotify Web API.
Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework
About a year ago, I stumbled upon a new Nodejs language called "Imba", I found this language to be interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential. Doing a bit of digging, I realized no one had created a framework for it, so what did a normal dev do? Well, a normal dev went ahead and created another Nodejs Framework, only this time it was meant for Imba.<p>So what did I create? I created a batteries included Framework heavily inspired by Laravel but it runs on Nodejs, and uses Imba as the default language, but you can actually use TypeScript or JavaScript. In fact, when creating a new project using the Framework, you will be asked if you want to use "Imba" or "TypeScript".<p>You can scaffold an Imba SPA or MPA, you can even use React or Vue, it all depends on what you are used to.<p>For more information, you can visit <a href="https://formidablejs.org" rel="nofollow">https://formidablejs.org</a><p>Keen to hear your thoughts

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations
Hello HN!<p>I want to show you MyNixOS.com - a website I've been working on this year to make it easy to create and share Nix and NixOS configurations. Nix is a powerful tool to deploy software in a reproducible way, and with NixOS you can control your whole operating system through a declarative configuration.<p>Starting out with Nix was exciting, but it definitely had a challenging learning curve. This made me start building a website focused on making it easier to create and share Nix flakes, which are the core unit of software deployment in Nix.<p>Using the website, you can create flakes without knowing the Nix configuration language, as the necessary Nix files are generated for you. A few examples of what you can do right now:<p>1: Create and build a Docker image with Redis and OpenSSH running NixOS: <a href="https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-docker" rel="nofollow">https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-docker</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM</a><p>2: Create a Nix development shell with Neovim and Zig and run it on Windows 11: <a href="https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-windows-devshell" rel="nofollow">https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-windows-devshell</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q72mGjYXA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q72mGjYXA</a><p>3: Create a reproducible macOS environment using nix-darwin and Home Manager: <a href="https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-macos" rel="nofollow">https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-macos</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Y7s1sRSUY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Y7s1sRSUY</a><p>4: Create a Linode server image using NixOS running Nginx with Let's Encrypt: <a href="https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-linode-nginx" rel="nofollow">https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-linode-nginx</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4X0fjD0-Y" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4X0fjD0-Y</a><p>5: Create a Raspberry Pi NixOS image running Transmission and OpenSSH: <a href="https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-raspberry-transmission" rel="nofollow">https://mynixos.com/mynixos/demo-raspberry-transmission</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0H92-JdHA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0H92-JdHA</a><p>The site works directly with the Nix command line tool, and generates pure Nix flakes without any custom formats. The website is currently in alpha and is developed as a closed source project. Some interesting upcoming features include support for language environments such as Python, and the ability to install arbitrary versions of packages.<p>By posting on HN, I'm especially looking to get in contact with early commercial users of Nix to learn more about the most important use-cases to solve. Hoping that you will find the site useful, and I'll happily try to answer any questions you might have!

Show HN: Open Source Bot That Summarizes Top Hacker News Stories Using GPT-3
HN Summary is an open source bot which sumarizes top stories on Hacker News and publishes the summaries to a Telegram channel.<p>Whenever a new story appears on the Hacker News API /topstories.json endpoint, this bot summarizes it (currently using OpenAI GPT-3 text-davinci-002) and sends the story title, summary, and url to the hn_summary channel on Telegram.<p>The purpose of this project is to help build intuition on the capabilities of the current generation of large language models while making a broader swath of top Hacker News content more easily accessible. It could also serve as a platform for experimentation with other language model capabilites such as semantic search.<p>Join the HN Summary channel on Telegram to see the bot in action and enjoy the story summaries.<p><a href="https://t.me/hn_summary" rel="nofollow">https://t.me/hn_summary</a><p>There are a number of potential directions I am interested in exploring here, such as making the bot interactive to allow features like bookmarking urls, semantic search, and semantic filtering.<p>I am also thinking about interfaces other than telegram. I started with telegram since I had recently used it on another project and it seemed like the easiest way to start playing with it. What other interfaces would make sense here?
