Too many to enumerate but a couple highlights (and many of these I've turned into apps):

- https://blunders.ai : Chess improvement app

- https://fretwork.ai : Freelancer management app (CRM/Billing/etc)

- https://validity.ai : Provide agents the ability to check the UI code it made (w/out needing to run through your full app)

- Save money on groceries + meal planning. This has probably saved hundreds if not $1k+ for our household at this point (some details here: https://x.com/ryanlanciaux/status/2063604299590939042)

- Orchestration / Starter Kit / Chat : Tool to help me manage multiple agent sessions at once. Some details on this one here https://x.com/ryanlanciaux/status/2063976049537417408

It's webrtc and a super light signaling setup

Ahh - sorry that it didn't get to the leaderboard. I pushed an update recently that should make the game significantly more challenging as time progresses.

Nice - and yea, it definitely slowly ramps up in the beginning. I'd love any thoughts on how to make that better w/ out just dropping people into a scenario where they're like "Yea, this is too hard - I'm out"

One unexpected benefit of LLMs is I can work on projects I otherwise wouldn't have taken on. I made a web-based autoshooter (with multiplayer support) heavily using AI / LLMs.

This is something I'd consider "alpha" quality so don't expect a super polished experience but it's hopefully fun

I'm working on https://blunders.ai, a chess improvement app. It uses a chess engine + AI to analyze your games, generate commentary, improvement plans, and targeted puzzles. Still in beta but I'd love any feedback!

Coupon code HNAPRIL26 if you want to give it a try.

Right now I'm having people paste their PGNs - I had sync working but took it out as I'm waiting for some clarification on the API use https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/readme-1

I'm working on a Chess improvement app https://blunders.ai.

The main goal is letting people analyze their games and improve by studying their blunders. It uses stockfish and AI for analysis. You can chat with your games like "Why would I do ___ instead of this?"

Also, there are the standard puzzles and openings type learning with improvement plans.

This isn't anything parametric but I 3d printed a model from Trellis https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42375951

I was able to use this to go from an AI generated image to 3d print. Steps documented here: https://x.com/ryanlanciaux/status/1866163343788007619

New comment by spaceships in "Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?"

spaceships — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 19:34:16 +0000

Self employed here. Mostly React / React Native specialist. I've been working in React since it was relatively new but try to stay up on latest updates in the ecosystem.

Backstory: Not entirely planned, but I was talking with a company about potentially being a frontend architect or something along that line. As the conversations progressed, they said they couldn't hire me fulltime since I wasn't able to come in to the office daily but they could give me a long-term contract. I've been consulting ever since.

This library makes building email templates feel like modern development rather than writing HTML from the 1990s.
