Very nice, slick UI! I like the feel of it. Couple thing I ran into though.

First, when I added multiple channels it seemed like it was playing content from just the first one I added. I liked the filtering feature so I could swap that way, but I assume the idea is it should work with both? If so, how does it choose the order?

Second, and this is a more specialized “need” but on some channels the videos are sequential. Gaming channels frequently have “episodes” and podcasts sometimes have parts. I noticed they come in inverse order as yours probably shows newest first. Probably not the use case you’re solving for but just be aware.


thanks! I'm currently ordering based on "most recent" first, so when you add multiple channels to the home feed, it merges them respecting their release dates.

I want to add more advanced filtering/ordering options later on, so that's a good call out

the idea to also display "playlists" is interesting, I will think about that :)


Love the look and feel of the application but providing some UX feedback. On the initial page the birthdate selector confused me. It took me a while to figure out how to actually get a valid input so I get the button enabled. I think part of the confusion for me was the year chips above the selection, as I didn't realize they were quick selections.

I was trying to select the year I was born, and then click on the year chips, which I now understand reset my selection but it wasn't clear to me what it did.

Once I realized I selected the right year and left the chips alone, but the button stayed disabled. I didn't want to provide the exact birthday. But I realized I had to click on the month to get a valid input.

Just sharing this friction. The input looks nice, but might be a bit form over function here... Consider following typical conventions on how inputs like these work.


This is sweet! I recently had AI do something similar to pull information from our brand documents to create an instruction set for AI to also generate iconography, illustrations and so on.

The DESIGN.md files look good but I would suggest expanding on it. For example, could it include brand tone and descriptions of visual style. That way it would be helpful for writing copy text and creating art assets.


That's a fun visualization and interesting to see. The bottleneck here is probably that it looks like the channels need to be submitted manually, but optimally that gets resolved over time.

The larger challenge might be that given your vision this should help with choosing what to watch. But seeing this, it might not give me enough to actually make the choice. I do recognize some of the channels there and I like that clicking on the ones I know I see connected ones I don't recognize – so those might be ones to check out. But how and why are they connected? Are the channels covering the same topics, or are they sharing a lot of the same viewers?

I would also like the text to be a bit more readable on when clicking on a channel. The contrast is such that there's a bit of friction to read it, and the fact it appears in the top right corner of my screen makes me move my eyes back and forth constantly. Maybe the information could pop up closer to the bubble (but I understand it might then overlap the links).

Just some thoughts! I did find some channels I might want to check out!


Thanks for output! I missed that right side popup issue, because i work mostly on macbook 13', so it was closed for me!

Manual input was by purpose, i want users to feel mlike a part of social concept.

And if that is unclear, those lines connect nearby channels by subniche(you can click each subniche which will show you connections and list of related channel, which share same subniche). Problem is, that i can get limited data from YT on bigger scale, and because im limited to this data, AI got some issues to recognise subniche pretty acurately. Im thinking how to resolve it in clever way then to burn a lot of openAi tokens. Thanks for info, that's very important for me, because its my first standalone project ever! You cannot imagine how it turned my day to bright side!


Also, sometimes the connections extend far away from the channel I click on and it's hard to find what is it connected to – but I find that actually really interesting to see what the channel is that's in a different domain. Maybe the side panel on the right could list out the connections so it would be easy to find?


Connections are done this way by purpose, to see, why AI use this subniche for another cluster and is it right or not. This is part of experiment.


Great intent to help kids learn to code, good project! But I do think the landing page needs a bit more meat and a better onboarding. Not all 12 year olds or their parents know what GitHub is and might get confused by it. Maybe add some more explanation on the page what they can expect and maybe need to have some instructions around how to set up GitHub and what it is


Tracking job applications is certainly a need, but it may be most people prefer creating a spreadsheet or use apps like Notion for this, since it will have the flexibility to make it their own. That's what I did in the past when I was applying.

But looking at what you've built, I think it's pretty well laid out. A couple suggestions:

- It's not immediately clear to me what the calendar in the top-left does? It seems to act as a filter but what is it filtering?

- One thing I found handy is to be able to have notes so that going from interview to interview I could easily prepare and see who did I meet with last, what did we discuss, and what things I might want to ask/explore to choose if it's the right place for me in the next interview.


Interesting! I notice you mention phone numbers but not names. Can PII-hound also detect things like first and last names in the data? I know that might not be the use case you’re primarily solving for but I’m finding as organizations use AI to process data it’s becoming more important to be able to scrub it from including any PII that might involve user or customer names. I’d love a lightweight CLI tool to do that for me.


That is a good question. No, we don't do anything with names at the moment. Names are hard because they don't follow a pattern. The next version will flag columns named first_name, last_name, fullname, or customer_name. That should be published later today.

Beyond that, pii-hound supports custom rules. A user could create some rules to match known names if they wanted.

I am open to ideas of other ways to close that gap.


I don’t know if this is viable but I wonder if you could package a small open source LLM and feed the data through it in chunks to scrub names. I’m sure it would add to the processing time and bunch other issues. But just a thought.


That's actually kinda interesting. I am not sure about listening to a podcast chatter but this makes me think of pawns in Dragons Dogma 2 and how they learn from other players' pawns and bring that knowledge to you.

So maybe instead or in addition to the podcast format it could be a way for agents to chat with each other and then bring new insights to the end-users without having to listen to the discussion itself?


I wonder what the best way to do that would be - right now it's set up so an agent makes itself available in the lobby, and others can invite it to a convo (with a specific topic) which the original agent can accept/deny.

But there's not much follow up after that. I would assume the agent could store the convo in its memories or something but any thoughts? I'd be down to open source something like this


Somehow when I started the game I wasn't able to get out of bed. Tried clicking, arrow keys, WASD, etc. Not sure what the controls are or if there's a bug? I'm on OSX Chrome.

Otherwise, like the idea and the dreadful atmosphere! Was curious how the game plays.


Hey, thanks a lot for trying it!

Did you progress past the initial dialogue with the HR and the CEO?

Because you should be able to get up after that. If not, it's a bug.

To progress through the dialogues you have to click the space bar.

But maybe this I should make this clearer in-game, thanks for reporting it!


Very neat! I like that I get a better “feel” of the whole day’s weather from the ring than most weather apps.

But it takes a bit more thinking and interaction to understand how the weather develops. For example, I like to see how the temperature changes during the day and for that, I find a graph illustrates the hourly changes better than just numbers and colors, but the information is obviously available here too. Just requires but more thinking from the user.

Are you thinking adding other things like humidity and wind? If so, would you try to fit more information to the dial or add some popups or something else?
