Show HN: Interpreto – Live Translation for Travel

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 2:26am

I built Interpreto as a quick side project after getting frustrated with every translation out while travelling to Mexico and China.

The problem I want to solve was making those four back-and-forth conversations when two people are sharing one phone. It uses the new GPT real-time translation and a split-screen UI for turn taking. It's incredibly fast at translating and currently supports a few languages.

It's quite expensive right now which is why there's a subscription option if you'd like to try for longer.

I'd be very interested in feedback on whether the interaction model is obvious enough and whether this feels meaningfully different and better than other usual translation outflows.

Show HN: Combine WigglyPaint GIFs into Video

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 1:49am

Been trying out WigglyPaint[1] lately to flesh out my creative side. I started drawing a series of images, and wanted to combine them into a video to post into social media.

The first iteration I did was manually mangling FFmpeg commands to loop GIFs over n seconds, before combining them into a video. After that I thought, I might as well make a web application to help make this easier.

Ironically, the videos I created in my Firefox Windows appears to be unplayable, which prompted me to go full circle, by importing a FFmpeg WASM to fix the file.

But it was definitely interesting to see how the JS code work to splice GIFs into image data, replaying it over a canvas, which then feeds to a WebCodec. GitHub link is in [2] if you are interested to see the source code. Cheers!
