Show HN: Use GPT4 to quickly build simple, shareable web apps Hi everyone, I built a quick experiment last weekend that allows you to use GPT4 to quickly generate single page web apps. These apps are immediately deployed at a shareable and bookmark-able web URL. Even though I’m a programmer, I think the idea of letting users build little apps without coding to solve their own problems is super exciting. I specifically built this because I wanted to solve a tiny problem of mine. I have a goal of running 500 miles this year. I track my runs on Strava and it shows me the total number of miles for the year. But I wanted to know: how many miles should I have run by this point in the year to be on track? I prompted and iterated with Pico and a few mins, I had a simple app: [ https://backend-pico.onrender.com/gender-hybrid](https://bac... that I could add to my iPhone home screen. The apps built by Pico have lots of limitations (single page, can only use HTML/CSS/vanilla JS + popular JS libraries) but they can also be incredibly powerful and surprisingly useful sometimes. And sometimes, Pico will completely fail to generate anything useful :( Here are some fun things you can build: * Wordle, Tic Tac Toe, any simple game. * TODO list. * Daily affirmations/horoscope. * Camera filter app * Audio recorder and processor * “App for lumberjacks” See website for demo apps. I would love to hear your feedback and see what you build with Pico. https://picoapps.xyz/ March 29, 2023 at 07:59PM
Show HN: Launch VM workloads securely and instantaneously, without VMs Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks! April 29, 2021 at 07:50AM
