Show HN: Cujo's Curated SIDs

I've listened to SID music on and off since the 80s, and mostly from early games and demos. Lately, I have explored more recent music. There are online lists of peoples favorite SID music, and online players, see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Because I have different tastes, I had the motivation to make my own list and UX. So from january 2020 to september 2022, I listened through the HVSC having over 50k songs, resulting in a list of 600-700 favorites. I put together a UX so I can easily access them. This project is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I guess that many others here would also enjoy it. Please let me know if you have suggestions for songs I should reconsider adding, or some feedback on the UX.<p>[1] Show HN: Online SID-Player with spectrum viewer (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6750701" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6750701</a>)<p>[2] High Voltage SID Collection – Commodore 64 music for the masses (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28184104" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28184104</a>)<p>[3] Dial-a-Sid (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27735256" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27735256</a>)<p>[4] The Sid Collection (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32368634" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32368634</a>)<p>[5] WebGL SID-emulator in C++ compiled to JavaScript with Emscripten (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7270025" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7270025</a>)<p>[6] DeepSID: online SID (Commodore 64 music) player (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17055344" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17055344</a>)

Show HN: Illa – An open-source alternative to Retool

Hey HNs:<p>This is Vincent from the ILLA team. I'm sure you guys see tons of "Open-source" and "Alternative to Retool" these days. I won't deny Retool is a great product, and so are many open-source competitors such as Appsmith, Budibase, Tooljet etc.<p>However, what makes ILLA so special? What advantages does ILLA have that allow users to choose ILLA instead of others?<p>Well, I would like to answer those questions to all folks at HN one by one.<p>First, we are similar to Retool, or Appsmith but we have many different our own features. We are a true open-source project all the folks here can check and review our Code here: <a href="https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder</a>. We believe as developers the basic ethic is to be honest, especially in "open-source" circumstances. You have to be honest with your team, users, and contributors in order to grow. Therefore, we welcome all the contributors from around the world to build ILLA together, this is a promising project and won't let you down. With your code, we can build the next DevTool together instead of just making some cash.<p>Ok, so maybe some folks here would say that I don't care about "Code Integrity", and there are many different options such as Appsmith, Budibase, and Tooljet. Why should I use ILLA here? Well, we believe the difference between animals and homo sapiens is that people know to use tools to improve their work efficiencies. Our whole team members are developer backgrounds and we know many itch issues we would like to solve for developers. So maybe our newest 1.3.3 version is not good enough, but just give us a little more time and I'm you will see the differences.<p>In the end, We are also "open-source" first. We are willing to collaborate with different open-source alternatives as much as we can. For example, we just partnered with PingCAP a few weeks ago. We will support many other open-source databases such as MindsDB, Supabase, etc soon. We can also support many other open-source alternatives, if you are interested, you can always find us in our Discord community.<p>Our Repo again: <a href="https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder</a>

Show HN: Haxophone

I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.

Show HN: Cartwright – Automating detection of geographic and temporal features

Cartwright is a data profiler that identifies and categorizes spatial and temporal features. Cartwright uses deep learning, natural language processing, and a variety of heuristics to determine whether a column in a dataset contains spatial or temporal information and, if so, what is specifically contained.<p>Cartwright was built to automate complex data pipelines for heterogenous climate and geopolitical data that are generally oriented around geospatial and temporal features (think maps and time series). The challenge that Cartwright solves is automatically detecting those features so they can be parsed and normalized. This problem turns out to be quite tricky, but Cartwright makes it simple.

Show HN: Run unsafe user generated JavaScript in the browser

I needed a way to let users write JavaScript to create plugins for a site I'm building.<p>I couldn't find a solution I was happy with, so ended up building one that run's it in a web worker on a separate domain from your main site.<p>Hopefully I haven't missed anything.
