Dramatize··on Show HN: Screen memory without screenshots, just text to Markdown
I've released the v 1.0.0 with a bunch of improvements + a signed app. It's the first time I've done this, so still working out exactly what's required: https://github.com/dragthelake/ambient-context or ambientcontext.app
Dramatize··on Show HN: Screen memory without screenshots, just text to Markdown
Update: I've added a prompt to process the raw output into something more useful: https://github.com/dragthelake/ambient-context/blob/main/doc...

This is pretty magical tbh

Also added MIT license and added some more pruning to reduce initial capture by around 10%.

Oh interesting, I'll check it out

Appshots is fine for what it is, but not great for building ambient context about your daily usage/work.

So the markdown is scaffolding the app generates deterministically.

The ## heading is built from the block's timestamps, the app name and the window title. The frontmatter is per-day boilerplate. The file:/url: line is the window's backing document where the app exposes one. The captured text underneath is written exactly as the tree handed it over: plain lines, no reconstruction.

That lossiness is also why the file/URL references exist. Trying to rebuild a document's formatting from its accessibility tree is a losing game, so instead each block records where the real document lives, and the LLM reading the file can open the original if the fragments aren't enough. "Plain markdown" was meant as "a markdown file you can open anywhere", not "faithful markdown conversion of what you saw"

One app that's using this technique (not exactly sure if it's the same) is Littlebird: https://littlebird.ai/

I also saw that HeyClicky started doing something similar but end up removing from the product.

Because you then have the macOS orange screen sharing warning/icon. I don't really want to record my screen, just the text is enough.

Yeah don't get your hope up too much. I need to push through more cleaning up of what's captured. Let me know how it goes, keen for some feedback
Dramatize··on Launch HN: Bloomy (YC S26) – AI-powered mastery learning for K-12
My son gets too distracted by any screen (we have had to implement a total screen ban), so screen-based learning doesn't work after a few days. Is there a way to create an analogue paper version? ie with printer and scanner.
Dramatize··on Effective YouTube Kids: Quality Content in Small Doses
I've been thinking of doing something like that with a Synology
Dramatize··on Effective YouTube Kids: Quality Content in Small Doses
I found the best way to deal with YouTube is to download the videos and airdrop them to my son's iPad.

This way he can still view a selected range of Minecraft videos without getting stuck in the cesspool of '100 days as a chicken' playlists.

Dramatize··on Show HN: DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component

Dramatize··on Ten years of OP-1
I first purchased an OP-1 because of the YouTube demos, but end up selling after a few weeks.

I've now got a Digiton/Digitakt setup that's much better. Elektron's workflow just clicked with my brain.

Also in Australia. That's exactly the same strategy I used growing the initial version of 99 Bikes ecommerce store. CDBaby was also a big influence.
Dramatize··on Show HN: Neural text to speech with dozens of celebrity voices
I think you're going to have legal risks with a project like this. At some point a celebrity is going to sue and we'll find out what the law decides.
Dramatize··on Show HN: Neural text to speech with dozens of celebrity voices
Yep, that's what we're doing at https://replicastudios.com - though we have strict ethical guidelines to not clone a person's voice without their permission.
