Show HN: Death by AI
I recently created a simple but efficient tool to help document writers generate a list of acronyms and definitions.<p>Here comes chatGPT.<p>At home, it’s all fun and games until I realize this thing might be able to do exactly what my “dumb” website does: "Give me the list of acronyms used in the previous text and their definitions"...<p>It had a good-looking answer. Of course...<p>At first I was bummed, but quickly realized that even though the output looked neat, it was also not reliable (missing some acronyms, adding some that were not in the original text, albeit related to it).<p>Anyway, the next day I stumbled upon https://killedbygoogle.com and the two things collided in my head: other people probably feel like AI is going to "kill" them or their product too. Why not make a list of these things?<p>A shameless clone later (it's open source ) https://deathbyai.com was born. I was initially going for a more serious tone, but it soon felt impossible to give a fair story for each item in ~5 lines, so I went for something lighter and, hopefully, more fun.<p>This is neither an attempt to criticize AI nor one to bury its "victims." On the contrary, I hope this page can highlight the potential of AI while showing that the "old ways" can still be relevant.<p>Hope you like it. Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Show HN: Log in to Mastodon with your Twitter account
This is an idea I've had for a while. Given recent events, I decided to finally implement it and see what happens. I assume if it gets any traction it will be banned.<p>The bigger picture here is that Twitter's network of users and follow lists is potentially reverse-engineerable. Why not take that network graph and implement it in the Fediverse?
Show HN: Screen Studio – Beautiful screen recordings in minutes
Hey!<p>I started working on this app 4 months ago.<p>The idea is simple: automate creating promo quality videos that include screen recordings as much as possible<p>Currently it makes cursor movement smooth, zooms in on clicks, adds background and frame around recorded window and adds cinematic motion blur.<p>I plan to add selfie camera support, full text slides and multi-clip recordings.<p>Works only on macOS. It is paid software (one time payment for license + 1 year of updates), but you can download and try it for free - everything except final export to file will work 100%<p>Thanks!
Show HN: Infisical – open-source secrets manager
Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (<a href="https://github.com/Infisical/infisical">https://github.com/Infisical/infisical</a>) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure. It can be used with any language/framework and is platform independent with a super easy setup.<p>We know secret managers exist but, in our experience, they’re too complicated, not comprehensive, not user-friendly, or a mix of all three — other nicer ones are closed-source and don’t have self-hosted options available. That’s why we’re on a mission to make secret management more accessible to every developer — not just security teams.<p>We’ve launched this repo under the MIT license so any developer can use the tool. The goal is to not charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for some future enterprise features as well as providing a hosted version and support.<p>In the coming weeks, we plan to add features like key rotation, access logs + more integrations. We’d love to hear your thoughts and any feature requests!<p>Give it a try (<a href="https://github.com/Infisical/infisical">https://github.com/Infisical/infisical</a>), and let us know what you think!<p>Main website: <a href="https://infisical.com/" rel="nofollow">https://infisical.com/</a>

Show HN: baseline – a free, open-source journaling and mood tracking app
Hey HN! I recently released baseline, a journaling and mood tracking app for iOS, Android, and web. If you've been looking for a better journal, or just want to work on your mental health, you should check it out! It includes:<p>- Simple and fast journaling — just open the app and start typing.<p>- Visualizations to help you understand your progress over time.<p>- Screeners to help you better understand what you might be struggling with.<p>- Customizable notifications to help you build journaling into your daily routine.<p>- Strong privacy — personal data is encrypted with user-specific keys that I can’t access.<p>This app started as a personal project for my own mental health, and it really helped me out — so now here we are! Again, if you've wanted to try journaling or just want to start working on your mental health, I really recommend trying it out. I'll also be here all day to answer any questions y'all have. Thanks so much :)
