Show HN: Every mountain, building and tree shadow mapped for any date and time I've been working on this project for about 4 years. It began as terrain only because world wide elevation data was publicly available. I then added buildings from OpenStreetMap (crowd sourced) and more recently from Overture Maps data. Some computer vision/machine learning advancements [1] in the past few years have made it possible to estimate tree canopy heights using satellite imagery alone making it possible to finally add trees to the map. The data isn't perfect, but it's within +/- 3 meters of so. Good enough to give a general idea for any location on Earth. Happy to answer any questions.

Show HN: I generated API documentation for all Java packages Hi HN! I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past year: Docland. It is an API documentation browser that generates documentation on demand (through compilation, not LLMs) for Java packages. Instead of relying on Javadoc, the built-in doc generator, I created the engine from scratch to give the documentations a modern look, build fast search indexes, and enable link resolution to other packages. I built Docland because I constantly found it frustrating to locate and view API definitions when programming. You'd have to Google the function/class name, skip all the SEO articles, find the page you want, yet the documentation might be poorly formatted or does not support searching. So I thought it would be really cool to create a documentation site dedicated for programming languages and libraries, so that you can find the docs all in one place with a uniform look. Docland currently only supports J...

Show HN: I made a Flutter app for loneliness. 14000 min of voice messages later: I hope you are doing better today than yesterday. (TLDR in the comments; or enjoy my story :) ) Why: About 11 months ago, I launched my app for the first time on Reddit's r/lonely because I had previously experienced loneliness myself during grad school. I wanted to reach out to people going through similar experiences by providing them with what would’ve helped me in the past. I felt this was an important mission for me and a much more rewarding one than my day job that I quit my job to work on the app full-time. It was necessary because I did not come from a programming background. I knew how to program in the sense of running scientific simulations on MATLAB, but creating the front-end and back-end for a consumer app was totally new to me, so I had to learn from scratch. I enjoyed everyday going to a cafe to learn from programming crash courses on YouTube, developing the app little by little, and ev...

Show HN: I recreated Jeffery Ventrella's "Particle Life" This weekend's coding session was dedicated to recreating Jeffery Ventrella's "Particle Life". As you can imagine, I had a lot of fun with it.

Show HN: Ask Hacker Search – Find out what HN thinks about any topic Hi HN! I'm Jonathan and I built Ask Hacker Search ( https://ift.tt/Y9fSRLq ), an LLM-powered version of Hacker News' Ask HN. Unlike Ask HN, Ask Hacker Search doesn't solicit new contributions from HN readers. Instead, it leverages Hacker News' historical data to answer questions, and offers LLM-generated summaries of those. I've used it for questions like "Should I use Drizzle or Prisma?" or "What is a good screen capture that allows easy zooming effects on Mac?". It is particularly useful when you're interested in understanding HN readers' sentiment about a topic, or when looking for expert insights on topics of interest to HN readers. I've been using it continually while building it, and have found it particularly useful to find software libraries recommended by HN or get quick vibe checks on hot topics. This builds on my release of Hacker Search two weeks ago ( ht...

Show HN: Git Searcher, search commits for an added or removed string Hello all, I created a command line utility called Git Searcher that can find in which commit any line of code was added; it can also find where a line of code was removed.

Show HN: An AI model that busts AI faces Hey HN, I'm an AI enthusiast and I am launching apps that use ML to solve problems that we all have. I realized that there are a lot of deepfake faces on youtube and social media, so I thought it would be useful (and fun!) to have a tool that can bust those AI faces. So I built DeeFace for 2 reasons: 1. Check if the face you're looking at is real or not 2. For fun! It's something that I from half a year ago would look at and aspire to build someday. I think it's soemthing anyone who's just starting out with ML would appreciate. I hope this tool is fun for you to use as it was for me to build. Would love to hear your feedback on this.

Show HN: Summrize – Free Non-Fiction Book Summaries Hey everyone! I know that a lot of people want to make more time for reading in their lives, but don't always have the time to do so. So I've created Summrize, an online platform for reading FREE non-fiction book summaries. For each book, I've condensed the most important concepts, quotes, actionable insights, frameworks and case studies, and presented them in a beautiful format. You can save the snippets that resonate the most with you, and share them on other platforms too!

It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation.
