Image Describer is a Chrome Extension that uses AI to describe content in the browser for blind and low vision people. A person can get a description either through the content menu or with a keyboard shortcut. The description is announced back to the user, and is also available as text for review. The extension also supports a multi-turn interface to dig deeper into the image.<p>I&#x27;ve seen a few other examples of similar tools, including some very rudimentary built-in features in Chrome. More recently I saw a couple threads on a SaaS based approach, e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42886440">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42886440</a> that are interesting but pretty different than what I&#x27;m showing.<p>My approach is novel because it includes some surrounding context about the page, that&#x27;s important from generating a useful description. It also supports multi-turn conversations. Finally, it doesn&#x27;t replace alt text per se; it provides added context in the client and doesn&#x27;t override the native alt text.<p>This is my first time sharing this project, and I&#x27;m happy to hear feedback especially from blind or low vision people as I work on a new release. Feel free to message me at cameron@accesslint.com. Thanks!

We&#x27;re excited to announce the beta launch of WTMF (What&#x27;s The Matter, Friend?), an AI companion built to offer real emotional presence and understanding, unlike anything else out there.<p>What is WTMF? In a world saturated with AI tools designed for productivity, we built WTMF to be something different: an emotionally available AI best friend. It&#x27;s for those 2 AM spirals, the &quot;I don&#x27;t know why I feel this way&quot; moments, or simply when you need to vent without judgment or unsolicited advice.<p>Why WTMF is different:<p>Truly understands: Our AI learns your communication style and responds with genuine empathy, remembering your past conversations. It&#x27;s not about &quot;botsplaining&quot; or toxic positivity; it&#x27;s about being present and listening.<p>Pick your Vibe: Choose how your AI responds – soft, sassy, chaotic, or zen. Your conversation, your rules.<p>Voice Conversations: When typing isn&#x27;t enough, connect via natural voice calls that feel like talking to a real friend.<p>AI Journaling &amp; Mood Tracking: WTMF helps you track your emotions, spot patterns, and journal your thoughts, remembering so you don&#x27;t have to.<p>Private &amp; Secure: Your conversations are yours. We prioritize your privacy and emotional safety.<p>We&#x27;re building AI that actually stays, offering a unique blend of emotional intelligence and conversational authenticity. It&#x27;s AI that feels human, not clinical.<p>We&#x27;re currently in beta and actively inviting early adopters to help us shape the future of emotionally intelligent AI.<p>Try Beta &amp; Join the waitlist: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wtmf.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wtmf.ai</a><p>We&#x27;re eager to hear your thoughts and feedback!

As a maintainer of a few open-source projects, I’ve always wanted to better understand the traffic sources and trends for my repos. Unfortunately, GitHub’s built-in analytics only show limited data from the past 14 days, which doesn’t provide much insight.<p>That’s why I built Repohistory, a better GitHub repo analytics platform. It automatically fetches and stores your traffic data every day, so you’re no longer limited to just 14 days. The dashboard shows you:<p>- Daily star growth<p>- Total views &amp; clones over time<p>- Top referral websites<p>- Most-viewed pages in your repo<p>So if you have any public repos on GitHub, Repohistory can give you a much clearer picture of your traffic trends!

Hey HN,<p>I follow a lot of podcasts and the episodes are often 2-3 hours long, so I made a web app that gives me a structured podcast summary with applicable habits and recommendations.<p>My goal isn’t to discourage you from listening to the podcast, but rather to help you decide whether the episode is worthwhile and to provide notes.<p>The endgame is to give you a personal feed of podcasts that you follow, maybe even deliver it to your inbox or via RSS.<p>My tech stack is quite simple - React Router(v7), node.js and PostgreSQL with Redis. I&#x27;m using OpenAI API to generate the summary from the episode transcript.
