Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
Hi HN!<p>Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.<p>Chrome Webstore link: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-accelerator/gpboiedfklodfhngobidfjecdpmccehg?hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-accelerator/gpbo...</a><p>Code: <a href="https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator">https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator</a>
Show HN: Open-source tool for creating courses like Duolingo
I'm launching UneeBee, an open-source tool for creating interactive courses like Duolingo:<p>GitHub repo: <a href="https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee">https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee</a>
Demo: <a href="https://app.uneebee.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://app.uneebee.com/</a><p>It's pretty early-stage, so there's a lot of things to improve. Everything on this project is going to be public, so you can check the roadmap on GitHub too: <a href="https://github.com/orgs/zoonk/projects/11">https://github.com/orgs/zoonk/projects/11</a><p>I'm creating this project because I love Duolingo and I wanted the same kind of experience to learn other things as well.<p>But I think this could be useful to other people too. I'll soon launch three products using UneeBee:<p>- Wikaro: Focused on enterprise. It allow companies to have their own white-label Duolingo. I think this is going to be great for onboarding and internal training.<p>- Educasso: Focused on schools. It will allow teachers to easily create interactive lessons, compliant to local school curriculum. I want to make it in a way that saves teacher's time, so they focus more on their students rather than lesson planning.<p>- Wisek: Marketplace for interactive courses where creators will be able to earn money creating those courses.<p>I'm not sure this is going to work out but, worst case scenario, I'll have products that I can use myself because I'm a terrible learner using traditional ways. Interactive learning is super useful to me, so I hope it will be to other people too.<p>If you have some spare time, please give me your brutal feedback. I really want to improve this product, so no need to be nice - just let me know your thoughts. :)<p>PS. I'm also launching it on Product Hunt: <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uneebee" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uneebee</a>

Show HN: I made a silly personal landing page
Also, yes I am looking for a new role. And yes, I should have been spending my time looking for suitable roles instead of building this.

Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Hey everyone,<p>I built a simple React/Python app that takes screenshots of websites and converts them to clean HTML/Tailwind code.<p>It uses GPT-4 Vision to generate the code, and DALL-E 3 to create placeholder images.<p>To run it, all you need is an OpenAI key with GPT vision access.<p>I’m quite pleased with how well it works most of the time. Sometimes, the image generations can be hilariously off. See here for a replica of Taylor Swift’s Instagram page: <a href="https://streamable.com/70gow1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://streamable.com/70gow1</a> I initially had a hard time getting it to work on full page screenshots. GPT4 would code up the first couple of sections and then, get lazy and output placeholder comments for the rest of the page. With some prompt engineering, full page screenshots work a whole lot better now. It’s great for landing pages.<p>Lots of ideas of where to go from here! Let me know if you have feedback and you find this useful :)

Show HN: DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component
I've built and have been maintaining a React component that renders an Airtable / Notion-like component for a few years.<p>This can be seen as an <input/> where the value is an array of objects.
You can then specify any number of columns that are each responsible for rendering an input for a specific key.<p>The component handles all accessibility features like keyboard navigation, adding / removing rows, context menu, virtualization...<p>If you ever need your users to input long lists of data, this might be a good way to render the form!

Show HN: I spent 6 months building a C debugger as a 17-year-old
Hey HN my name is Thassilo, I'm a student and passionate programmer from Germany.<p>I want to showcase Spray, a small C debugger I've been working on for a few months now. Spray has a very simple and approachable interface. Its feature set is limited at this point, but it's already enough to tackle some basic problems. I stared to work on Spray because I was curious about how debuggers work. I am also trying to design Spray in such a way that it's easy to grasp and has a small mental overhead.<p>I'd love to get your feedback on Spray.<p>Email: d4kd (at) proton (dot) me<p>PS: I'm generally interested compilers and language tool chains, and I'm looking for similar-minded people to work and collaborate with. I have a few similar projects on my GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/d4ckard?tab=repositories">https://github.com/d4ckard?tab=repositories</a>. If you find Spray interesting, you might enjoy playing around with them too.

Show HN: QBasic 4.5 on Android
My father, who hung up his coding hat in the '80s, recently entered the golden years of retirement.<p>One day, he mused about the simplicity and educational value of BASIC and wondered if there was a way to share its charm using today's technology.<p>Specifically, he was looking for an Android application that could run BASIC so he could "teach programming while drinking coffee with [his] friends".<p>Thus, BabaBASIC was born—a hat tip to 'Babá', the Greek term for "dad", and a reminder of who sparked this journey.<p>The first iteration of this was made over a 10-hour all-nighter using existing open-source libraries.<p>I ended up forking the BASIC-like implementation to make it more byte-for-byte compatible with QBasic 4.5, which is what my father used back in the 90s to teach me programming.<p>This is the first thing I have ever made of which he approves.

Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
Hey there<p>I made a opensource alternative for these services. Although these worked very well, I was not so confident what they do. So I made my own and opensourced it.<p>It is written in Golang and is fully customizable.
