Visiting the link below generates and takes you to a personalized inbox to which you can POST content from any source. It includes instructions for “installation” on mobile devices so as to benefit from push notifications (which, from a web app, will be a novelty for some, particularly those on iOS).

Building this out, I was pretty impressed at how close one can get to native app capabilities, even to the point of displaying an “unread notification count” on the app icon.

The app is similar to “throwaway” email services except that you can land items in your inbox using a simple http request. This versatility means that you can plug it into a variety of information sources to serve as a dedicated feed. Create and install as many such “feeds” as you like.

I built weekinpapers.com to address what I saw as a "discoverability" problem for arXiv papers in Computer Science.

As the course of the calendar week progresses, the homepage will update to show newly-published papers as they come in. The process will start again the following week.

Each entry features a AI-generated "ELI5" summary, in an attempt to demystify, and make explicit, any keywords or assumed knowledge. I see this as a valid use-case for LLMs. The hope is, that cutting edge research becomes accessible to a broader audience.

create-multi-lib (run like so `npx create-multi-lib ) is my attempt to contribute a much needed bundling-layer on top of Mitosis.

It also comes with E2E testing included, and your resulting packages include type-declarations.

One thing that could be improved: sometimes when the AI gives a "fill in the missing word" task i.e a sentence with a "______" in it, the text-to-speech literally says out loud "underscore, underscore, underscore..."

Serves as proof that you don’t necessarily need to build a native app and distribute it on the App Store in order to utilise push notifications.

It used to be the case that an iPhone app needed to be “native” and downloaded from the App Store to utilize push notifications, but you will see that this is no longer true :)

As long-time HN users, we also included an option to subscribe to a feed of top Hacker News posts delivered to you via push every six hours. It makes it a fun little app instead of a boring demo!

Worth noting that we don't track any personal info (random UUIDs for user IDs, so not even device IDs).

This is a PyPi package that can be used to visualize a Spacy document. You can scroll up and down to see details and tags for each token. Each attribute is clickable and brings you to the relevant docs for that Spacy model.

It runs in all Jupyter notebooks
