Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux
Hello HN,<p>this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant <i>subset</i> of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it is. Notably, there's also another ongoing project which targets v2 called KeySharp [2].<p>If you are not aware of what AHK is, it is an easy but capable scripting language for automation and Hotkeys, and all sorts of visual things like GUIs.<p>If you want to learn more, there plenty of info on the repo, the docs html, and there's an active AHK Discord too, and I am personally also checking the forums and HN of course.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.autohotkey.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.autohotkey.com/</a>

Show HN: I made an app to create Spotify playlists from music festival posters
Hey HN, I'm Brett and I'm an iOS developer.<p>LineupSupply uses Apple's Vision framework to read text from an image and then the Spotify API to create a playlist using that text. So if you provide a music festival poster, it will grab the artist names from the lineup and make a playlist for that music festival.<p>Often when going to a music festival I want a playlist to listen to the artists that will be performing. I couldn't find any other service that automates this, so I made one myself.<p>The app is free to create as many playlists as you want, but does have a one time in-app purchase of $1.99 to unlock additional features (control over how many songs per artist, custom app icons, etc). You do need to login with your Spotify account, but Spotify Premium isn't required.<p>I made this app with SwiftUI and its available on iOS and iPadOS. You can technically download it on macOS too, but it's a port of the iPad app.

Show HN: I built a tool to help you read Hacker News on Kindle
Hi HN, I'm Daniel Nguyen. In June, I quit my job to start indie hacking full-time.<p>The idea of KTool first came to my mind when I was reading "Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?"[0]<p>I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. My right eye is basically blind. Doctors said there is no chance to cure it.<p>I was genuinely scared. Like holy shit, if my left eye stops working, my life is done. Since then I've been very conscious about time spent on computer screens.<p>That's when I started using Kindle-related products: to offload as many reading materials as possible to the Kindle. I was a happy customer of Push to Kindle. Great product!<p>Then I ran into multiple limitations which led me to build KTool: a tool to send anything online to Kindle. Blog posts, Twitter threads, Hacker News discussions, RSS, newsletters... you name it.<p>But I'm not here to pitch my vision for KTool.<p>I built a specific tool to help you send HN discussions to your Kindle. And in the spirit of Show HN, it doesn't require an account. If you don't own a Kindle, there is the option to download the EPUB.<p>Let me know what you think. Any feedback will be much appreciated.<p>If you're a Kindle owner and you read a lot of online content, give KTool a try.<p>[0]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22918980" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22918980</a>
