Show HN: I quit my job and made an automatic time tracker

Hey Hacker News!<p>This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out. After taking some time off, I started freelancing. But I found tracking my time to be a real hassle as I kept forgetting to start or stop the timer and often had no idea what I’d worked on.<p>So, I decided to build Taim as a side project, while also working now on some freelancing gigs. Taim is going to be automated time tracking tool for freelancers and teams. It’s designed to make tracking time effortless and accurate, so you can focus on your work and not worry about the clock.<p>I’m excited to share this with you all and would love your feedback! Currently planning to launch it to the public in a few months.

Show HN: Horizon – Private alternative to Imgur

Hey HN, I'm James, a 17-year old full-stack engineer from Canada with a strong passion for building software. During the day, I work for a California-based startup, and in the evenings, I enjoy working on side projects[1][2].<p>For the past 3 years, I've been building and iterating on a product I called Horizon Pics, which is a file hosting service, similar to mainstream services, like Imgur. Horizon allows you to quickly upload and store all types of files, from images and video, to PDFs and other documents. The biggest differentiating factor is that Horizon's incentives are much more aligned with you, the end-user.<p>Unlike Imgur, Horizon has absolutely no ads, doesn't sell your data, has built-in security and privacy controls, and is fully focused on your file sharing needs. No social media or other bloat.<p>This past week, I've launched a rebrand of Horizon which features a brand-new desktop app called Alpine[3], which serves as a local companion to Horizon. With it comes the capability to auto-upload screen captures and upload your clipboards as shareable pastes. For extra privacy, clipboard sharing can be automatically deleted after one view, or end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM client-side. The desktop app is completely free to use! It's powered by Tauri using TypeScript, SvelteKit, Sass, and Rust.<p>Horizon offers a free plan with limited storage and upload sizes, while the paid plan offers higher limits.<p>Let me know what you think about the landing page[0]. Does it provide enough information as a new user?<p>[0]: <a href="https://horizon.pics" rel="nofollow">https://horizon.pics</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://httpjames.space" rel="nofollow">https://httpjames.space</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/httpjamesm">https://github.com/httpjamesm</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://horizon.pics/alpine" rel="nofollow">https://horizon.pics/alpine</a>

Show HN: An ad free temporary mail service

Made this privacy conscious temporary mail extension as a hobby a few years ago as I found a cool domain.<p>I've now revamped the UI, added more domains and created an extension that shows your inbox in your browser (it only asks for permission to read from TemporaryMail.com and not all sites like the other extensions), it's also free from ads (paying the service out of pocket and perhaps adding an upgrade feature later on).<p>What makes this site a bit more unique is that I wrote the email parser from scratch following the RFC (took me 2 months and tons of testing) so it should display all incoming emails exactly as they are displayed in your favorite email client.<p>The site itself: <a href="https://TemporaryMail.com" rel="nofollow">https://TemporaryMail.com</a><p>Firefox Extension: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-email/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-ema...</a><p>Chrome Extension: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/temporarymailcom-a-simple/aigcbpaaeflggbfikokmkkfecnlcodoh" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/temporarymailcom-a-...</a><p>Edge Extension: <a href="https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/temporarymailcom-dispo/ckkkdpnddlnoaiclialbhlcplpokhhka" rel="nofollow">https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/temporarym...</a><p>Opera Extension: <a href="https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/temporarymailcom-disposable-email/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/temporarymail...</a><p>Please give me your worst and criticize it to oblivion as I want to improve it.

Show HN: I generated 70k audiobooks with OpenAI Text-to-Speech

Hey HN. I’m Ivan, hacker from Ukraine.<p>For about a year, I was working on Listenly — an app to listen to text content with OpenAI's natural-sounding text-to-speech model.<p>At some moment, I realized that it would be cool to take all the public domain e-books and create audio versions for them. So I did it... kind-of.<p>It would cost an immense amount of money to generate all the audio right away (OpenAI TTS costs approximately $0.84/hour of audio; 11labs, for comparison, is 10 times more expensive). So, I took a more gradual approach.<p>I took all the metadata from the Project Gutenberg catalog (it's about 70GB of dirty XML), cleaned it, put it into my database, and created a browsable catalog. When the first user visits a book page on Listenly, I download the full text of the book, save it in my cloud storage, and calculate the price for audio generation based on the book's length. Then, if the user decides to purchase it, we generate the audio.<p>I know it’s not perfect.<p>I've burned out a couple of times already while doing it.<p>But still, I need to show it to the world. And I’ll be glad to hear your feedback.<p>Peace.
