Are you using ChatGPT 4 or 3.5? GPT 4 is phenomenal.

ycombinator.com is down too

Silatus enables teams to generate common documents en-masse without having to prompt engineer or pay for a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Right now, its free for virtually unlimited use.

We also have a prompt engineering tool that helps you rapidly prototype document prompts to produce the highest quality documents possible.

We have a Jira integration AI generated product requirements documents and (coming soon) a Greenhouse integration for job descriptions.

We’re exploring making available an API for developers to create their own integrations. Let us know what you think!

Yes.

Simplisafe cameras have a powered privacy cover that physically blocks the lens.

I can write fairly well, but it takes so much time and energy.

How do I become more confident and efficient with my writing? That’s what I’m curious about.

I don’t trust Amazon Alexa’s privacy standard, let alone a video camera.

Thanks for the feedback!

I really like this, but it makes me nervous to use it in a production environment. I think if you market it as a recommendation engine instead of automatic deleter, it will be more appealing.

Separate question: If I put an Elastic Beanstalk application on the allowlist, will the app protect all related resources (load balancers, EC2 instances, VPCs, etc)?

We’re working hard to fix bugs and improve the user experience. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

Hey folks! I built Vocal because I genuinely want to make remote work feel less remote and I don't believe any of the current solutions do a good job of that.

I thought using Discord at my company might help, but that my company wouldn't be able to use it since its for gamers. After doing some research, I found that I wasn't alone. A lot of have tried to use Discord at their companies, but they failed because it didn't have the customer support, branding, single sign-on, intuitive access control, video sharing, and so on.

I also saw that apps like Gathertown and Workadventure were fun and quite novel for one-off events, but they are not ideal for every-day use in a business environment.

Thus Vocal was born! Gimmick-free virtual offices and rooms for every-day business use. It brings back those long-lost water cooler conversations while still promoting an environment of productivity and collaboration with private offices and distinct room types.

Please check it out and give your honest feedback! While the app is in private beta (working out the kinks), you can download it directly at: https://www.getvocal.app/download

Is this different from livekit.io because its P2P? That’s what we’re using for Vocal.

Happy to chat about our experience with them. Might help you differentiate further.

Yeah, its quite disturbing that YC declined to comment - especially knowing how many similar crypto companies they are funding. I don’t want to see YC get targeted and brought down by the Feds.

This feels very similar to my experience. I built a CultureAmp competitor and ran into the same problems.

This is really cool! You should highlight the fact that it works with Vue.js and a bunch of other frameworks.

I also couldn't find a way to export the code. I'd prefer to use this tool without the API integration.

This sounds too good to be true! Nice work :)

Great point. I use my comment to do that, but I should make it more clear.

Thank you for the feedback! We will fix this.

Silatus makes it extremely easy to share your content by automatically creating high-quality, natural-sounding podcast episodes from your written blog posts and articles, without the need to manually approve or upload episodes. It also works with any blogging platform or website that supports RSS 2.0 (WordPress, Blogger, etc). You can test it out for free, but you’ll have to refresh the page every 60 seconds to keep testing it (our way of preventing abuse).

We decided to use podcasts instead of an embeddable audio player so that the app would be instantly compatible with any blogging platform that uses RSS. If you’d like to see an embeddable audio player or if you have any other feedback, please let me know! Enjoy :)

Knowing how to code and knowing how to build scalable architecture and infrastructure are two very different things. Its pretty well understood that if you know a few of the most common programming languages, which it seems like you do, then you can learn others. And theres also a massive wealth of developers around the world willing to work for (probably) less than you. Where you can shine as an experienced developer is in knowing how to avoid many of the problems that arise from building for scale and building complex systems.

Of course, you can read a lot about software architecture and building scalable systems, but the best way to improve is to actually work on those systems at whatever level you can. Get your foot in the door with people building systems that serve hundreds of thousands to millions of customers. If you’re having a hard time doing that, build something on your own purely for the sake of proving that you understand the challenges of building complex software systems and software at scale. That way, when you go into an interview, you can say “yeah, I integrated a sharded multi-cluster DB with worldwide CDN endpoints and full management control.” (This quote is mostly jargon, but hopefully you get the idea) As a dev, DON’T WORRY about if people actually use what you build. Worry about how it’ll help you communicate your skills when you talk to people and interview.

Hope this helps. P.S. I’m a PM with a background in CS and I work with a lot of devs at many levels in a large tech company.
