This is ridiculously fun. Congrats on the launch! I took inspiration from “There I Ruined It” and grabbed lyrics from various popular songs to have the AI sing them in the style of other artists. It sometimes took a few attempts, but it honestly did a great job. You got a chuckle out of my friends and family. Also loved that I didn’t have to enter a credit card in order to try it out.

Is this limited to PDFs or could the same chunking and parsing be applied to plain text, html, and other input file types?

There is some interoperability between other clients today. For example, I have a Jellyfin server but in order to connect to it on my Apple TV I use the Infuse Pro app. I think that works more because of a standardized file structure that each app creates its own indexes for, so an actual protocol that they share would still be an improvement.

There are some really cool geoguessr metas that aren't as much about memorizing the street view cars that I love. (Although, a few car metas are interesting such as the handful of African countries that required a security follow car to tail the Google car, or the “Kenya snorkel” on the more off road capable street view vehicle for Kenya.) One of these is that there is a geostationary satellite just south of Texas that most US satellite dishes will point to, so if you can find a house with a satellite dish on it then you can combine its angle with your compass and get a rough sense of the US region you are in.

This is unintentionally a great ad for perceptual color spaces. I found it easier to ignore the color and just look at the percentage changes after a while when zeroing in on a guess. I wonder if that would be different in a game of Guess My OKLCH!

What is it about ipv6 that is so difficult for hosting providers to support?

Are the testimonials also AI?

My current setup is Stellarium + Clear Outside + windy.app and with that you really do need to know ahead of time which objects are visible for your particular location at that time of year or spend a while browsing. Your app looks amazing for my main use cases, but still lacks some information that I rely on. First, it is useful to know the direction of the cloud coverage throughout the night to be able to compare it with where the object you’re shooting will be. I also like to know the brightness (magnitude) of each object to help with planning. The last thing would be to get a list of recommendations rather than using lists of favorites. “What deep sky object do I not know about that today would be perfect for shooting?” is a question I have only been able to answer well with the ASIAR’s list of suggestions, manually curated calendars online that are not tuned to my location, or social media. It seems like you might have all the data to do a better job than all of those options in answering that question. Super cool app! Excited to see where it goes.

As a native speaker, it was my first time seeing the word, too. Not common at all.

One of my biggest concerns when saving lots of things to an app like this and spending time curating bookmarks and other content is what happens if the app one day disappears. Is there a data export mechanism built in or other considerations for these sorts of events?

These theories are fun. My first instinct was that maybe it’s for “yeoman”. But that’s not the most kid-friendly or likely word to appear on a ball. “Yellow” seems a lot more plausible, and the spray paint can idea is especially clever.

Almost every day for my 5+ years of college, and fairly regularly since (although I encounter the types of complex math problems it excels at far less frequently today). I think there are many others like myself who use it.

This is so intuitive. Huge props for coming up with the first ui for time zone comparison that has actually made sense to me immediately. Clicking a zone to make it the base, which all others get compared to, was a great choice. Bookmarking this for sure.
