pdyc··on Show HN: SmallDocs - Markdown without the frustrations
i also used fragment technique for sharing html snippets but url's became very long, i had to implement optional url shortener after users complained. Unfortunately that meant server interaction.

pdyc··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
Too many things

- Tool to auto create dashboards from csv/json files or rest api ( https://EasyAnalytica.com )

- Tool to preview, annotate and share html snippets ( https://easyanalytica.com/tools/html-playground/ )

- Creating agent to edit files with smaller model(<1B) not yet released.

-Prompt assember to create prompts/templates/context and easily share between ai to be released this week.

pdyc··on Moving from WordPress to Jekyll (and static site generators in general)
wow that looks beautiful. I want to migrate my hugo site to astro because astro is easier to manage and more friendly to local llm's than hugo but postponing it.
pdyc··on Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS
interesting, i wanted something like this but i am on linux so i modified whisper example to run on cli. Its quite basic, uses ctrl+alt+s to start/stop, when you stop it copies text to clipboard that's it. Now its my daily driver https://github.com/newbeelearn/whisper.cpp
pdyc··on Cursor 3
here is example of project i worked using codex, it took 10 iterations just to get github actions right https://github.com/newbeelearn/whisper.cpp . you can see the commits made by codex. Project was quite simple it needs to modify whisper to add support for transcribing voice with start/stop keys and copy the transcription to clipboard when stopped. That's it. It performs poorly as compare to CC which gets it right in one shot.
pdyc··on Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?
high on my own supply :-) i use https://easyanalytica.com/tools/html-playground frequently as it allows me to open html in new window and use dev tools like any other page.
pdyc··on Show HN: 1-Bit Bonsai, the First Commercially Viable 1-Bit LLMs
no it did not with character by character it concluded 2 :-)
pdyc··on Show HN: 1-Bit Bonsai, the First Commercially Viable 1-Bit LLMs
thanks, i tested it, failed in strawberry test. qwen 3.5 0.8B with similar size passes it and is far more usable.
pdyc··on Show HN: Turbolite – a SQLite VFS serving sub-250ms cold JOIN queries from S3
correct it will be handled via backend which will just proxy requests to R2(its S3 compatible). i already have something working with vhttpfs but you have implemented some great ideas like optimizing request count instead of byte efficiency, i wanted something like that in vhttpfs but it will become another project for me. I think it can be great frontend tool as well since you have decoupled storage with db engine.

this is a great project, does it support wasm? i want to use it in browser with sqlite wasm.
pdyc··on I tried to prove I'm not AI. My aunt wasn't convinced
i wonder what is the captcha equivalent of ai bots? ask about taboo topics to rule out commercial models and ask about specific reasoning questions that trip ai like walking vs driving to car wash? or your own set?
pdyc··on Project Nomad – Knowledge That Never Goes Offline
i am looking for something like this but for a cheap used phones i can give to kids without internet that has all the books, offline maps, wikipedia and some basic llm. They would have complete environment to explore depending on their curiosity.Is there something like this? otherwise i am thinking of creating my own collection and opensourcing it.
pdyc··on Flash-MoE: Running a 397B Parameter Model on a Laptop
impressive, i wish someone takes a stab at using this technique on mobile gpu's even if it does not use storage it would still be a win. I am running llama.cpp on adreno 830 with oepncl and i am getting pathetic 2-3t/s for output tokens
pdyc··on Launch HN: Sitefire (YC W26) – Automating actions to improve AI visibility
do you use same accounts? how do you make sure that chatgpt/gemini etc. dont personalize the queries when used with same account?Also responses change based on location and ip(residetial ip's are treated differently)
pdyc··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
Indeed, what is worse is expectation created by rich people that whatever little value you did create should be given away for free! I see it frequently on HN with product launches where people are demanding product to be opensource with liberal license which effectively means it should be free.
pdyc··on Show HN: OxiMedia – Pure Rust Reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV
problem is users will still have files in mp4+h264 combo we cannot dictate that but i think i can workaround that by using system default codecs via other library.
pdyc··on Show HN: OxiMedia – Pure Rust Reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV
nice project but it would be good if you can make other codecs like h.264 etc. optional it will increase its adoption and help in battle testing entire framework.
pdyc··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
EasyAnalytica.com It lets you view all your dashboards in one place. Dashboard creation is a 3 step away, point to a file, confirm ds, choose template and done. Supports csv/json files, locl/remote url, Google sheets and api's with bearer auth.

i have also started experimenting with qwen3.5 0.8B model, my goal is to create agents with small models that are as robust as their commercial counterparts for specialized tasks. currently trying it for file editing.

pdyc··on Data Center Intelligence at the Price of a Laptop
i tried 0.8b and for its size it was surprisingly usable, i tried 397b model on lmarena but it was nowhere near even sonnet.
pdyc··on Google Workspace CLI
wow this will gel very well with my current project. Main hurdle i was facing was connecting with individual services via google oauth to get the data.
pdyc··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
and they say its not a bubble! we saw it with oracle deal, big announcement and than nothing, same with nvidia and now same thing is going again i hpe this is cash infusion and not some credit deal.
pdyc··on Parakeet.cpp – Parakeet ASR inference in pure C++ with Metal GPU acceleration
can you share your repo.
pdyc··on Stoolap/Node: A Native Node.js Driver That's Surprisingly Fast
interesting, github says works for both olap+oltp but it was for go, does the same apply to rust as well? I want to try it in browser is wasm available somewhere or is there any plan to support it? [Edit] looks like it is available for browser here https://stoolap.io/playground/ i will be trying it with my product this weekend, excited to see how it goes.
pdyc··on A DuckDB-based metabase alternative
interesting i am trying to build one too but rejected duckdb because of large size, i guess i will have to give in and use it at some point of time.
pdyc··on Is Show HN dead? No, but it's drowning
mine got lot of upvotes and huge traffic but it died after few days. I think it has more to do with novelty of idea rather than commercial interest.
pdyc··on State of Show HN: 2025
My project[1] got some love on HN though never made it to frontage about a year ago. It also got unexpectedly popular on twitter. Its simple project and not particularly great ui either but somehow it clicked. My other projects which i thought were more useful never got any traction. It seems novel idea was what caught people's attention. one year later though it hardly gets any traffic. Also with improved LLM's it has become trivial to replicate them.

pdyc··on The Israeli spyware firm that accidentally just exposed itself
i have doubts on accuracy of face recognition. There is already nancy guthrie case going on and if it is so accurate why are suspects still not recognized?
pdyc··on I’m joining OpenAI
I think peter was mostly using calude and to a lesser extent codex and claude was getting a free marketing. If he can just improve codex to work better with openclaw it will be a big win for openai. If he can make openai agent at par with openclaw with added safety/security it would be a big win too. Its a smart move by openai and i totally get it.
pdyc··on What do you use for your customer facing analytics?
i use EasyAnalytica (i built it) its similar to metabase but easier.
pdyc··on Rari – Rust-powered React framework
demo does not works on firefox+linux
