This is really cool. The attention to detail on the internal mechanics is impressive, especially the inspection tools you built. Looking forward to seeing where you take it!
It would be nice to be able to back up in the sequence. There were a few times where I realized I had not fully understood a previous step and would have like to be able to review some previous steps.
I will open-source it very soon! I was a bit nervous about putting it out there before I'm sure that the machines are absolutely accurate, especially the more niche ones where I had to make some inferences about the wiring. Will add the GitHub link to the site when I've had a chance to review everything for accuracy, and will probably end up moving some of my "educated guesses" off the main branch.
On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in their hands. For hardware, you can post a video or detailed article. For books, a sample chapter is ok.
Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.
The project should be non-trivial. Don't post quickly-generated one-offs; anybody can do that now. Share something that is deeply personal and interesting to you.
Explain how and why.
Also see dang's comments on the validity of various submissions:
In software it's fascinating how configuration management (that boringest of all phrases) is becoming the hard part. How do you share and version the source?
What even is the source? Is it the prompts? That's where the OP heads at the end: "share it somewhere — or, better yet, just a screenshot and the prompts you
used to make it." But when I floated a couple trial balloons about whether we might use this for Show HN—i.e., don't just share the code you generated,
because that's not the source anymore; instead share the prompts—we got a lot of pushback from knowledgeable people
(summarized here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47213630).
The topic is supposed to be narrow. It's supposed to be more than just show and tell, and definitely not "whatever the person wants."
Seems pretty cool but unfortunately the poor performance on mobile (Chrome 154 and Android 17) makes it unusable for me. I'll have to check it out on desktop.
Otherwise this is completely excellent!
