olup··on Ask HN: I am overflowing with ideas but never finish anything
I was about to say this. I can relate hundred percent to the modus operandi, and to be honest I just accepted that I tend to loose interest and that's fine.

Moreover, I came to analyse that what was really interesting to me was this initial dreaming and planning and obsessing phase rather than the long execution.

I tend to discover and learn what I was seeking in the early phase. After that the need is less pressing.

Accepting this I made my profession of being an architect, planner, discoverer, and not a regular maintainer of things.

Note that I also revisit often old stuff and the spark might reignite. I have completed projects in the span of years picking up after a long time.

olup··on Show HN: The HN Recap – AI generated daily HN podcast
Wow I literally posted the same thing a month ago - check out https://radio-hn.pages.dev

I did not use music but did orchestrate multi host show. Based on chat gpt, eleven lab and a bit of ffmpeg scripting.

olup··on Show HN: GPT-JSON – Structured and typehinted GPT responses in Python
I built zod-chatgpt https://github.com/olup/zod-chatgpt a couple of weeks ago to serve same purpose in typescript
olup··on Ask HN: Anyone want to use ChatGPT to build a web app and podcast about it?
I did build a podcast with it, check radio-hn.pages.dev
olup··on Show HN: Using zod to get structured and typed output from ChatGPT in TypeScript
added the customization suggestion (task and chatCompletion ptions override).
olup··on Show HN: Using zod to get structured and typed output from ChatGPT in TypeScript
Another idea would be to feed zod's validation errors, if any, to the llm to let it have a second try automatically

Thanks ! if you feel like making a PR i'll be happy to merge it !
olup··on Launch HN: Play.ht (YC W23) – Generate and clone voices from 20 seconds of audio
Too expensive. Eleven labs is somewhat cheaper, but imo there won't be a clear leader in this market until the prices are at least 10x cheaper (which will happen soon enough)
olup··on When programming is gone, will we like what’s left?
The rich still needs the poor to buy the crap his/her company is making that makes him/her rich. He needs the poor to have enough money for that.

Love the recent episodes, I allow myself to repost.
olup··on AI podcast “Radio HN – The Five” now also on Spotify
The AI podcast generated by chatGPT and ElevenLabs (https://radio-hn.pages.dev/) now also published as a spotify podcast
olup··on Why I built a dictionary app
Hey, a bit unrelated, but the blog looks great :-D May I as if it's a next.js public template (and, if yes, which one) or a private design you are using ?
olup··on E-Ink Typewriter
It's pretty reactive, as the screen only refreshes the chars that have changed on the matrix at each key stroke. Even a page up/down that changes all the screen is very fast. I only do full refresh with flashing when using the menu so some ghosting may appear, but I haven't experienced it.

The mounting is indeed a PLA 3d printed stand built in 5 minute in thinkerCAD. The editor is the object of the program it's homemade and pretty basic (and I wanted it basic). I should add a video at some point.

If the screen should also fit in a credit card, I see that the Lilygo t5 4.7 esp32 card with an eink screen could maybe work out for you (https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002006058892.html)

I link to this Pomera device from the repo, as well as Freewrite's one. I would have totally bought the Pomera if I could change keyboard layout. As I do most of my creative writing in French I absolutely need an AZERTY keyboard.

It's a bit the same here - the kobo is still a normal functioning Kobo. Only the kernel has to change to allow USB OTG mode, and you can switch between custom and stock one. By the way, the libs I used here works on remarkable too, so it's just a matter of compiling the software and finding a matching kernel.

Oh yes, I also had a couple of such design - used an app or a server, ssh connection or simple websockets. But for this one I really wanted it to work standalone !

And, a bit late, me too, of the pub/sub option that sounded more appealing to me. https://github.com/olup/patchcreek
