Hi HN.

This project is an experiment in terminal user interfaces.

It is a filesystem navigator, which could become a useful tool in its own right, or a widget that could be integrated in to a larger tool.

I wanted something that felt at home in a terminal session. So it had to use standard terminal themes. I also wanted it to be keyboard friendly and snappy - so no fancy visual effects.

I'm going to park this project for now. But I will revisit it at some point down the line when I have more idea what it should become.

I did have an idea that I could build a visual cd of sorts, which could be integrated in to a command line. So you could do something like:

cp foo.py `vcd`

Which would bring up the navigator to select a directory to be used as the destination for the copy. But I'm open to suggestions what could be built on top of this.

PulseTracker is a real-time location tracking backend service, designed with developers and teams in mind. It’s a powerful, easy-to-integrate solution that enables you to track devices without the hassle of building and managing your own backend infrastructure.

I built Sapio to help people improve various skills through interactive conversations. Instead of passive learning, users engage in simulated chats where they actively apply their knowledge and receive immediate feedback on their responses.

The app currently offers 25 different practice modules and supports 10 languages. I built it because I noticed that many people struggle to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in conversations.

Tech stack: I built the front-end using Flutter, making the app available for both Android and iOS. The backend is powered by Django and PostgreSQL. For generating chats and feedback, I use the OpenAI API or Anthropic, whichever performed better during testing, based on the module and user's language.

It's still in early stages, and I'm actively working on improvements. I'd really appreciate any feedback from the HN community, especially on user experience and which scenarios/modules would be most valuable to add.

Thank you!

I have a newborn, and the early mornings have been crazy. I usually stay awake beside my wife while she breastfeeds, waiting to burp the baby and sleep.

To keep me awake and help her stay awake, I started reading a few pages of books during these moments, but I was using the flashlight on my phone, which was very bright and unpleasant.

I was already considering buying a reading light, but that morning, in a moment of insomnia, I had the idea of creating an app that used the phone screen as a flashlight. I got up quickly and typed a prompt in ChatGPT, which generated something very close to what I imagined.

I copied the code and put it online using GitHub Pages right after. The whole process took about 40 minutes (and at least made me very sleepy right after; I fell asleep).

I used the app that same night, and this morning, I decided to improve it, improve some things, add some simple features, and also turn it into a PWA app that can be installed (so I could use it in full screen).

I liked the result so much that I published the app for free. It's straightforward, but I hope it will be useful to more people:
