Show HN: Scripton â Python IDE with Built-In Realtime Visualizations
Depends on your ROI. If the tool saves you much more, $20/mo could be very reasonable. This IDE is rather narrowly focused on easily doing numerical code and visualizations. If you were doing it every day and cringe at the thought of using your current setup every day, the product would be for you.
https://xkcd.com/1205/ provides an idea of the cost of the time spent by improving a tool, or, equivalently, saved by paying for it. If you're paid even $50 an hour, a $20 / mo tool that saves you 30 minutes a month, cumulative, is already worth paying for. And this thing can save hours and hours a month for a particular kind of work.

Do-nothing scripting: the key to gradual automation (2019)
And often it doesnât need to be optimal. If the functional process takes 5 minutes and you do it once a month then you canât spend more than 5 hours optimizing it before youâre going backwards.

Claude AI built me a React app to compare maps side by side
Claude has worked amazingly well for me as somebody really not into UI/web development.
There are so many small tasks that I could, but until now almost never would automate (whether it's not worth the time [1] or I just couldn't bring myself to do it as I don't really enjoy doing it). A one-off bitmask parser at work here, a proof of concept webapp at home there â it's literally opened up a new world of quality-of-life improvements, in a purely quantitative sense.
It extends beyond UI and web development too: Very often I find myself thinking that there must be a smarter way to use CLI tools like jq, zsh etc., but considering how rarely I use them and that I do already know an ineffective way of getting what I need, up until now I couldn't justify spending the hours of going through documentation on the moderately high chance of finding a few useful nuggets letting me shave off a minute here and there every month.

Everything I built with Claude Artifacts this week
It's related to this: https://xkcd.com/1205/
As a programmer (which is the requisite to build such tools even with LLMs), I have a plethora of tools to do the tasks, what I choose and how much time I invested in in that depends on something similar to this chart, but with an added dimension: interest.
Take for example the URL extraction. For one single occasion, I'd probably use VIM and macros to quickly do it. If it were many pages, I'd write a script. If it were infrequent, but recurrent, I'd take the time to write a better script and would only write a web page if the use case was shared with other people or if I wanted a cross platform solution.
I believe the first question one should ask before building is why. That leads you to find a better UX than shoehorning everything inside a web app.

Automated smooth N'th order derivatives of noisy, non-uniformly sampled data
Thinking about people as PID controllers: left to our own devices we're normally very good at the D term, but lousy at the I term, with the P term somewhere in the middle.
Give people clay/parchment/paper, however, and it becomes much easier to reliably evaluate an I term.
Example: https://xkcd.com/1205/ ; maybe each single time you do the task it seems like sanding out the glitches would be more trouble than it's worth, but a little record keeping allows one to see when a slight itch becomes frequent enough to be worth addressing. (conversely, it may be tempting to automate everything, but a little record keeping allows one to see if it'd obviously be rabbit holing)

Show HN: Fix or Skip?
A small tool designed to help you determine whether implementing a fix for a slow process is worthwhile or if skipping the fix is more time-efficient.
