amaldavid··on Show HN: Use your OpenAI subscription to create audiobooks
It was always harder to get it to sound right, I had built Lissin around this thesis itself. You can throw in a PDF or a link and can get a podcast, deepdive or just narration with different voices in Lissin.

For those interested in better voices, you can try and let me know.

amaldavid··on Last 30 days of AI but as an anime scene
I remember seeing a similar edit a few years back talking about GPT-4, model sizes, MoE etc and laughed quite a bit. Had to make my own version after reading through the Dream RSI, Jev announcements this week
amaldavid··on Cloudflare Drop
Been through the exact same issues and built a publishing workflow over cloudflare a few weeks back and did decent reception from HN as well

you can check it out here: https://github.com/Amal-David/pagecast

amaldavid··on Cloudflare Drop
I had built something similar over cloudflare and primarily agent first

you can check it out here: https://github.com/Amal-David/pagecast

amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
When you re-sync a URL, the slug's staged content is deleted and rewritten, not versioned as of now
amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
This is quite interesting, let me ponder over this a bit. I think I can expose an MCP and also make the admin to be hosted directly in cloudflare workers/pages and make it a remote MCP.

Will need to handle auth though since the dashboard will be public.

amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
Have added password support now
amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
Thanks for the unfiltered feedback!

Yes, the readme and no screenshot was something that I meant to cleanup and add and are already live now.

Agent reports vs small static sites -> It was supposed to mean markdown files as plans gets shared between teams which is what CC mentioned as agent reports.

Yes, code is definitely cheap. Built it as an utility for myself and dogfooding it with my team. Had put it out with the thought that others might find it useful.

Point in time, a lot of it is available vanilla with cloudflare cli but natively enabling passwords, private team dashboard are something that am considering. Passwords are already live as we speak.

Will improve this as i get more feedback and time to spend on this.

amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
publishing workflow yes, i wanted to have a way to manage published urls and update existing urls with a small dashboard as well since we end up doing it repeatedly.
amaldavid··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
yes, it is possible. Will be adding that and full website above <25mb publishing also soon
amaldavid··on Show HN: A bilingual guide to Thaayam, a Tamil board game
Just noticing this, i have covered all the rules in the guide. It's not as complicated as Mahjong. Much simpler and as mentioned earlier it is regional to south India
amaldavid··on Show HN: KeyLeak Detector – Scan websites for exposed API keys and secrets
Gitleaks is too good to be compared to this, the only areas where keyleak is comparable is it does runtime detection where sometimes your build process injects secrets via env vars into the bundle or any of your responses expose a config file or secrets.
amaldavid··on Show HN: KeyLeak Detector – Scan websites for exposed API keys and secrets
Yep, Github does a wonderful job flagging secrets most times but irrespective of that this is happening in some sites. This was built out of personal curiosity and I had put it out for public because I myself was not aware if this will be actually useful and if so in what form. People do YOLO to prod, we have more kids building AI wrappers than I can count, and somewhere in that chaos secrets slip through the cracks.

Ideally I would have loved this to be a chrome plugin or part of the CI/CD pipeline or put it out as an adversary agent for all of these new vibe coded apps but don't think I'm that vested into the idea yet. Thanks for being gentle :)

amaldavid··on Show HN: KeyLeak Detector – Scan websites for exposed API keys and secrets
Well, when i meant "personally" not in the app I manage. I have a quirk of checking sites to understand what they are using and how they are using and have stumbled upon sites with exposed Gemini, Google Maps, OpenAI keys etc.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45741569 - It was also partly inspired by this as I have seen legacy sites making these mistakes quite often.

With all the vibe coded apps that are getting launched or were launched early, there are enough holes to plug. This is just an attempt to help individuals or orgs to ensure they are not exposed. Just pushed it out what I had in mind based on my experience.

And I agree with you that an adversary approach won't work if we can't fix the underlying problem but the world has changed with enough vibe coded apps that are getting shipped everyday and very little of them care or know about security.

amaldavid··on Ambition, Validation and the Multipliers That Matter
Wanted to pen down some of my thoughts on ambition and how we seek validation and can it be abstracted to a certain degree so that we can break free from it
amaldavid··on Instrumentation checklist for running large GPU clusters
Just stumbled upon this blog which details out testing and validating large GPU clusters before running training workloads. Any other similar blogs which adds more nuance in terms of debugging the issues once we identify them as well?
amaldavid··on Import and Export Markdown in Google Docs
Finally they realized too many people were copying information from chatgpt and claude and didn't like seeing #####
amaldavid··on Show HN: Add Speech to Text for Your Claude Chats
Yes, only a chrome plugin for now hence supported in Chrome / Brave browser.
amaldavid··on Show HN: Add Speech to Text for Your Claude Chats
I just built a simple chrome extension which uses Groq with a whisper model to do Speech to Text so that we can give speech inputs to Claude. I really liked being able to do speech to text with ChatGPT and missed that quite a bit with Claude, hence built this.

Why Groq? They have a free tier and super fast, so anyone can create an account and add their API key to the extension.

Privacy? The only API calls that are there are to Groq servers, so as long as you have read their T&C you should be fine

This was done and tested in a few hours and quite buggy still but works. Feel free to drop some feedback. Will push more updates, if anyone else actually finds this useful

amaldavid··on WhatsApp Parser for LLM Instruction Finetuning
Just started working on this small project where one can just convert their whatsapp conversations into an instruction dataset which can be finetuned with any OSS models for creating a clone of themselves.

Have added sensitive info redaction and also general whatsapp messages redaction when parsing and compiling the dataset.

Very early but appreciate any suggestions or discussions around this.

amaldavid··on RAG with LLMs Primer Mindmap
I was just dumping all of my thoughts with respect to LLMs on how to setup and manage a RAG system. Thought it will be useful for people to think through as well, hence sharing here.
amaldavid··on Export your ChatGPT conversations as PDF/Doc
Export Chat is a ChatGPT plugin which lets you export your ChatGPT conversations as a PDF/Doc with just a single message. Just type "export the previous message" or conversation.

Find it under the list of plugins in ChatGPT.

Checkout exporter.hexonlabs.com for understanding how to create better exports. Do let me know any feedback!

amaldavid··on Sensitive Data Warning in ChatGPT
Hey Hacker News folks! I'm an indie developer, and I've just built a nifty little plugin to help keep your personal data safe while using ChatGPT. With ChatGPT becoming increasingly popular, it's easy to accidentally share sensitive info like phone numbers or email addresses. My plugin displays a warning when it detects you're about to enter personal details into the message window.

This can be a lifesaver in professional environments, too. IT managers can enforce it on office machines to ensure employees don't unintentionally leak confidential data through ChatGPT. I'm excited to share this with you all and hope it'll make your ChatGPT experience more secure and privacy-conscious. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts!

amaldavid··on ChatGPT Mini – Nothing but ChatGPT in a mini window
Tried building a chrome plugin completely by GPT-4 generated code for fun and got it published a few days back.

The name and description was also generated by ChatGPT, just asked it to be more SEO friendly. Consider this a mini experiment and nothing technical or fancy.

amaldavid··on Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
Have you deployed hasura in a lambda?
amaldavid··on Ask HN: Setting up a custom map server do's and don'ts
I did look at QGIS but it seems to be limiting the custom functionalities we want to add on top of the map layers which is easily available over a JS library like openlayers.

I ruled out QGIS simply because of the fact that it's a native app and not a JS library.
