Building an Open Source Decentralized E-Book Search Engine
I have a side project that aims to organize your ebook highlight collections with on-device semantic search. [1] Right now it only indexes your own content but I'd like to add a mode that allows you to share your collection and let others find relevant ideas via semantic search -- a discovery platform for ideas found in books. It's open source if you want a sense of how it works now. [2]

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Two personal projects I'd like to get fully-baked eventually:

Writing summaries is more important than reading more books
I built a tool for myself for the purpose of grokking ideas from books called Emdash [1]. Over the years I've collected reams of highlights from books and articles but until recently, rarely reviewed or absorbed them. The core of this app uses on-device ML to show related passages with similar ideas from other books you've read, and I find that going broad and exploring concepts from different angles really helps in comprehension.
I'm testing out a summarization/rephrase feature backed by LLMs that you can try in the demo. In HN fashion I'm trying to build this openly and gather feedback to see what works. I'd like to push this further in the active direction the article mentions with something like a Socratic dialogue mode where you're nudged to re-explain and examine ideas.
If anyone uses this thing/has feedback, let me know. Source is available too [2].

Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
In my project[1], I convert all user-uploaded images to high-quality webp and store them like that. I discard the original files after the conversion. I use imgproxy[2] to further resize and convert them on the fly for actual display.
I don't do videos yet, but I'm kinda terrified of the idea of putting user-uploaded files through ffmpeg if/when I'll support them.

Why is no one making a new version of old Facebook?
They do, or rather not old Facebook, but old VK: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
As a bonus it's an ActivityPub enabled application, so any specific instance of it requires less work to get the network effect going. :)

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events.
Not yet "ready" โ 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now.
I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

VSCode config to disable annoyances โ telemetry, notifications, welcome pages
Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well).
I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

Meta selling new โMeta Verifiedโ blue badge for $12-15/month
I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account.
I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for.

Misskey: An Interplanetary Microblogging Platform
I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

Ask HN: Who is working on fully decentralized social networking?
I know of Smithereen[1] that is an attempt at a full fledged social network similar to VK on top of the ActivityPub vocabulary.
