We just launched @herostuffdotcom on Product Hunt🚀 Selling stuff online sucks. It’s slow, clunky, and feels like a chore. So we built Hero Stuff—the fastest way to list and sell. 📸 Snap a photo → AI identifies the item, prices it, and lists it in seconds. 🎤 No typing. Just talk → Hero turns your voice into a listing. 📍 One tap → Post directly to Facebook Marketplace. No copy-pasting. No forms. No hassle.

Some of my friends think AI will make it possible to build AAA games in just a couple of months. I think that seriously underestimates how complex game development is. I often point them to game designer Liz England’s “The Door Problem.” It’s a great example of how much thought goes into game design. Making a good game still takes hard work and experience. #gamedev #game

my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

Seeing the hype around Solidcraft, just imagine if FreeCAD had a better UI. For this model, the recompute takes 3 minutes in Solidcraft (v0.27.1), whereas it's almost instant in FreeCAD. I know Solidcraft will improve fast, but with a better UI, FreeCAD would just crush everyone.

I've lost count of how many times I've reread Designing the Star User Interface (1982) from Xerox PARC. Every time, I'm struck by how sincere and thoughtful the writing is. Really want to share this with anyone thinking about the next generation of UIs. A few things that particularly resonate with me (there's so much more in the article): 1. A consistent conceptual model matters. I believe the next generation of UIs should be generative and adaptive, but still follow a coherent, learnable set of 'physics'. Malleability shouldn't come at the cost of predictability. 2. Simplicity should be a first-order design principle (something LLMs are bad at). Fewer buttons, clicks, or keystrokes don't necessarily make an interface simpler. Nor does adding more. "simple things should be simple; complex things should be possible" 3. Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow. Many prototypes are meant to challenge assumptions - they should be designed to be thrown away, rather than promising to deliver the throwaway to users. ** What stays with me most is just how much nuanced, deliberate thinking went into the WIMP interfaces we've inherited, and are now eager to reinvent. We need at least the same depth of thought and care. Still have a long way to go.

if ant wants to crush openai: add a good goal mode, fix your message queueing system, stop refusing benign shit, get better at hard technical optimization stuff, make your remote app experience better bc it sucks, also gimme more usage per dollar

Astra is very good at 3D modeling, and I can't wait for all of you to experience it, for now here is a little walkthrough on how I built the demo house for our launch blog post. From a Blender scene to a Unreal Engine 5 walkable experience. 🧵
