  • Launch HN: Greptile (YC W24) – RAG on codebases that works

    Ran it on a "real" OSS project of mine (https://github.com/dvx/lofi/), and it was stuck at 99% loading for about 30 minutes. Then, when it finally parsed the codebase, when asked anything it always returns "Error: Internal error while locating sources."

    At one point, this random prompt popped up: https://imgur.com/a/mYeluaU β€”what's "Onboard?"

  • Spotify's podcast bet went wrong

    I do think that podcasting is ripe for disruption and a great candidate for a "super app" that can end up being people's go-to to listen to podcasts and be exposed to new ones.

    Spotify did literally nothing to actually support podcasting as another vertical--which it 100% is. Podcasting isn't just "music" and it's a profound misunderstanding to believe that it is. It's honestly embarrassing to think that all they had to do is buy out Joe Rogan. To this day, I mostly listen to podcasts on YouTube. Spotify doesn't have transcripts, scrubbing, chapters, discoverability, "shorts," etc., etc. I run an open source Spotify player[1] and their API doesn't even have a podcast type/category (lol, they are actually "music videos" in the JSON payload). It's like podcasts don't even exist.

    If anyone wants to build a podcasting platform, hit me up :)

    Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I built out a mini Spotify player with visualization support: https://github.com/dvx/lofi

    Even had a few folks contribute a couple of neat visualizations :)
