https://replays.lol/clipper - A spin off from my main startup's product that lets Twitch streamers review their viewers' league of legend clips. Zero friction as we handle the recording of clips ourselves using bots that load up people's previous games using the League of Legends game client. Went live with my first medium-size streamer yesterday, excited to see how this goes!
Similar to Cameo but hyper specialised for league of legend streamers, if this shows some traction we'll expand to other games, and then to other industries (think a tennis star reviews one of your tennis points, beats out a generic happy birthday message?)
The idea is that a generic video message doesn't appeal to a fan of a video game streamer, instead what really would be cool would be watching them react to your best moment in a game.
Our software removes all friction from the journey, the fan doesn't even need to record their own gameplay, we have bots set up that can load up someone else's gameplay just from their username, record their highlight for them, upload it to our platform, then the streamer just needs to come in, watch a ~60 sec clip, give a genuine reaction, press 'submit' and its all done.
There's a few markets I'm trying to find product market fit in: ~1-2 minute coaching sessions, sports commentator style commentary over your clip from influencers, hyped up reactions from your favorite streamer, a community-focused segment on a stream of watching a compilation of your fan's best moments.
We're ready to launch, just trying and struggling to find the first few people to sign up.
Their proprietary models are very good too and go under the radar, they never seem to appear on any benchmarks. Qwen3-coder-plus is significantly better than their open source qwen3, Qwen3 max also rivals the SOTA models
$50 per month is their SaaS solution that let's you make 1000 requests per day. The openrouter cost is the raw API cost if you try to use qwen3-coder via the pay as you go model when using Cline
https://inspo.dev - The idea is a chrome extension that let's you iterate ridiculously fast on frontend web components - click one button, select the element like you're using Chrome's inspect dev tools, press generate, and 60 seconds later, AI has given you ~7-10 new variations on how you could style that component, with the code ready to implement.
Struggling to get the generated iterations to be up to a standard I'm happy with at the moment, but improving every day!
Hey Charles, annoyed I missed out on the first batch, signed up to the newsletter looking forward to the next one!
I thought your product page could use a slightly nicer UI. - I'm building an app that let's people spin up multiple variations of their pages and easily implement new UIs. - I like to put HN websites through it whilst I'm training it up to see if I can improve them.
If you want the html + css, it's here free of charge, I've split each one up with a ## Variation 1/2.. etc.. just let me know what you think - https://pastebin.com/WGNieVmq
I think there's a big difference with how designers and programmers can use AI to enhance their work, and how exploited the average person's work has been. A lot of designers publish their work on social media, or it's visible on their websites etc., which AI models have used to train with. But with coding, most people's code only exists in private repos, or is compiled to a format that LLMs cant easily be trained on.
My stack relies on Typescript Express apps on Google App Engine. One for the API, and one for the front end.
For database I use Datastore and for storage I use Cloud Storage.
Front end uses an express app that routes the marketing pages to static html pages and then routes everything starting /app to a generic html file that uses React to render everything / sort out routing.
It's quite interesting that a successful HN launch effectively created ~$10m worth of value, as tooljet was able to raise $1.5m+ within a couple of weeks whereas fund raising efforts before were rejected.
Gambling in the gaming world is even more prominent on Twitch and it's not even pretending to be gaming related anymore.
An incognito screenshot of Twitch I captured just now https://i.imgur.com/fgXDAHB.png - The biggest streamer on the platform is currently streaming real money (crypto) online Slots gambling to 100k+ viewers, and a second streamer in the top 5 category is also streaming Slots.
Supposedly these streamers make millions per month from these gaming sponsorships to pretend to lose their own money in order to convince their already primed audience to become addicts to these same sites.
Children brought up on gaming have been conditioned into becoming the perfect audience for unregulated crypto gambling companies to advertise to and ruin their lives
I don't understand how you bodge a stable coin startup.
Surely you just mint the tokens in exchange for dollars, and then put ~50% of the dollars in zero risk investments (some form of treasury bonds), and then take the 0.5-1% interest per year as your revenue. Tether currently has $81b marketcap so you could be making $400-800m per year doing basically nothing?
This would work for videos that people want to acknowledge as their own, but they could just tweet out they own it for the same affect.
The issue this tackles is videos that people don't want to claim ownership of, e.g. if a video emerged of <insert politician here> kicking a child, the politician can't say "I haven't signed it therefore it's not mine", instead we need tools like the above to be able to say, "this is faked, do not trust it".
