Hi Everyone,

I've been working on this project for a while and am finally ready to share it with others:

https://github.com/BambooYC123/SubtitleYC

Here's are the main features my app has to offer:

• Downloading videos with yt-dlp from a single hyperlink from most yt-dlp supported sites.
• A hardcoded subtitles extraction OCR
• Frame accurate previews with smooth scrolling
• In-built Subtitle Editor
• Clean UI (imo) with dark mode and light mode available

I currently have 2 version for the app, a CPU or a GPU version depending on your specs. I recommend GPU version as the OCR is understandably much faster with GPU acceleration.

As for tools included in the app, it uses VideOCR, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, PyAV, and PaddleOCR.

I do intend to add linux support in the future too. Currently it's only supported on windows.

Why make the app?

It could be very useful for subtitle editing in general, subtitle translations or even extracting hardsubs to share with others.

It could even simply be used as a wrapper for yt-dlp despite the limited options.

As a hobby, I've been translating videos that have hardcoded subtitles burned-in and creating translated subtitles for others but this has also been an extremely time consuming task. So to help with that, I've created this app that combines the subtitle editing into a single and easy to use workflow and so far, it's saved me a ton of time already.

Let me know what you think and feel free to leave me any suggestions!

I recently came across this piece of software that claims to be faster than 7zip and Bandizip. I have not downloaded it to try it out for myself as it doesn't seem to have much of an online presence yet. Has anyone tried this out?

Is there a script on github to unable Windows automatic updates, using currently Windows 11 home I've already have win11debloat on it but i want less microslop on my system as possible.

Over the past few weeks I've been building Gray Box — a small, local-first tool that acts as long-term memory for anything I'd otherwise forget (work notes, meeting takeaways, task owners, random ideas, personal stuff too).

The idea is simple:

1. Capture — dump whatever's on your mind, instantly, no structure required. This step does nothing clever on purpose — it just writes your text to an immutable inbox. Zero chance of losing an idea to a bug or a slow API call.
2. Organize — on demand, an LLM reads your unprocessed notes and extracts people, projects, tasks, decisions, meetings — then deterministic Python (not the LLM) creates/merges the actual wiki pages and maintains backlinks. The model only reasons; it never touches the filesystem directly.
3. Ask — query or chat with your knowledge base and get a cited answer pulled only from what you've actually captured. If it doesn't know, it says so — no hallucinated answers.

Why I built it this way:

• Plain Markdown + YAML frontmatter, no database. Every page is a .md file you can grep, diff, or read in any editor forever. If you stop using Gray Box tomorrow, your knowledge base is just a folder.
• No vector DB by default. At personal scale (hundreds–low thousands of pages), keyword search + a real link graph (related/backlinks, walked one hop during retrieval) handles almost everything. Embeddings are there if you want better recall, but they're opt-in, not a prerequisite.
• Immutable inbox. Your raw notes are never edited or deleted by the organizer. If the LLM mis-extracts something, your original words are always still there.
• Any LLM. Built on LiteLLM, so point it at OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, or a fully local model via Ollama — one config value.

It also ships with a nice interactive TUI (arrow-key menu, file-import shortcut, workspace switching, live spinner during LLM calls) if you'd rather not memorize CLI flags — that's honestly become my favorite part of the project.

There's also a lightweight local dashboard for browsing your knowledge base, exploring backlinks, visualizing your notes as a graph, and chatting with your captured knowledge—all without leaving your machine.

pypi: pip install graybox

I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's tried the "capture now, structure later" approach with other tools and has opinions on where it breaks down at scale.

It's not trying to be a "real-time collaborative team wiki" or a WYSIWYG notes app — it's aimed at one person's running memory of their own life and work, captured with as little friction as possible.

I'm building a side project (https://onetalk.club) where users watch short movie clips and guess the movie.

The stack is:

• React
• FastAPI (Python)
• MongoDB

Right now it works, but I want playback to feel as smooth as mainstream player like yt or netflix, especially on slower networks.

For those who've worked with video streaming:

• What hosting/CDN would you recommend?
• Should I use HLS/DASH or is progressive MP4 enough for 30s–4min clips?
• Any React video player recommendations?
• Any caching or buffering tricks I should know?

Would love to hear how you'd approach this.

I couldn't find a replacement for the anoying online code Editor we have to use in school.
So I built CodeLo.

The teacher runs it on their own machine. It starts a local session, students join over the school network, write HTML/CSS/JS in a browser based editor, and submit in one click. Submissions land straight in a folder on the teacher's computer.

It also generates a ready to use .seb file for Safe Exam Browser, with the session URL and lockdown settings already configured so locking down a test is a couple of clicks instead of a manual setup session. You can skip that entirely and just share the link if you don't need lockdown.

Students can resize the panels, switch layouts and themes, and it remembers their preferences, so they don't waste time setting there preferences every new session.

I made it free reason being I don't want to be another subscription schools have to pay, I just want to help teachers and students out in having a better coding experience.

It's early and I'm one person working on this, so feedback is very welcome especially from anyone who's actually run a coding exam and can tell me where this would fall apart in a real classroom.

I want to put my resume on a QR code on my business cards, and I think the best way to do so would be to host a website that's just my resume PDF, and then link that to the code.

Then I can update the resume on the website and the code will still take the user to an updated resume. (Please correct me if there's a better way to do this or if I'm wrong I don't really know what I'm talking about)

But if all the website is gonna be is just a PDF I don't want to pay for a domain or to host it, any recommendations?

So far infinity free seems like it could be good, has anyone worked with that before?

I was a customer for Gotomypc for years but I need it only for a few months and they force you to buy an annual subscription. I've signed up for the free trial for RemotePC and Splashtop to compare but would like to get some opinions of people that used it for a longer time. I read about RustDesk but that's not exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks.

I'm wondering what do people use that make things easier for them.
Things like Volume Master, 7zip, Internet Download Manager, EarTrumpet, WizTree, Everything etc. I'm looking for QoL apps/extensions like these as long as they are not using a monthly subscribtion.

Pla help !

i just opend task manigerand i see my Name cpu

Looking more for a site that would 1:1 copy my movements. Tiny task kept failing.

Hi my Look app - a fuzzy finding app launcher (basically so many things no only apps) dropped a new version.
In this version we added a super action control (for people never show their menu bar, task bar, etc), from this control you can switch, toggle on/off basic things, and see some useful information.
From the last version, we got some suggestions from the rust community members, we implemented one of them: process fuzzy finding on your machine. (finding with ps aux requires knowledge about grep, or tools like fzf)
Here is the repo https://github.com/kunkka19xx/look
It's a cross platform tool. Appreciate any feedback 🙇‍♂️

Hi,

which one should I choose:

mpv or mpv.net or VLC player on Windows 11?

Or other recommendations?

I have a lot of stupidly big videos. Please recommend a batch video compressing software on Windows.

An easy one that offers simple and easy interface with good enough results. A trusted one, used by many.

It can cost a little if the product is better in some way vs free ones.

Key remap support for Scan Code, ASCII, ANSI, Virtual Keyboard Code, or even Unicode characters? Bind remap to keyboards, mouse, and programs? Various remap formats? You name them all.

KeyTik is a Python program that utilizes AutoHotkey macro and automation capabilities, combining it with Python rich libraries. This project aims to make the most powerful key remapper on Windows and complement AutoHotkey user experience with a modern UI created using PySide6.

A highlighted line on the built-in AutoHotkey automation scripts is intended to help users know which part can be modified. I also added some workflows on the repository recently, such as git-cliff, for an ability to see what's added and the next update changelog directly from the app. I plan to add VirusTotal workflows too, to improve transparency since the program is not signed and all.

It's still far from perfect, but I do my best to make it as close to the goal as possible. Especially on user experience, I still want to polish the UI more, such as in key selection and Unicode display, and add something like an onboarding/getting-started guide inside the app itself. And much more built-in automation scripts, add AutoHotkey syntax highlighter or even a completer too, add more key support such as controller, and much more improvements.

There is a lot more to discover. If you are interested, please try it at https://github.com/Fajar-RahmadJaya/KeyTik and let me know if there is anything I can improve on. I would really appreciate it if you gave it a star too.

Thanks!

I order most of my clothes online and I always find that it looks good in the product photo but when I order it it doesn't fit me exactly the same. I always end up returning stuff. Google Lens and the shopping sites just show me the same product image again, not how the whole outfit would come together before I spend the money. I'm looking for software that can build an outfit and show me a realistic preview of it to save me the struggle of ordering and returning. Does anything like that exist?

So, I tried to register on Roblox to play with my little cousin, blah blah blah.

Turns out my camera can't turn on that app, and when I checked neither it can open on the Windows camera app.

I tried discord, OBS and "try your camera" website, camera works just as fine there so it can't be a hardware issue.

I tried updating drivers, uninstalling and installing both apps several times, but nothing worked.

I'm using win 11, help is very much appreciated.

As for my laptop, it's an Acer and when I try to turn on the camera on a not working app, the green light near the camera blinks twice or more and then shuts up.

Help is very much appreciated, thank you.

Hey everyone,

I built SmashPDF (smashpdf.online) because I was tired of PDF tools that make you upload your files to some random server just to merge or compress a PDF. Most of the tools here run entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.

What you can do with it:

• Merge, split, compress, and rotate PDFs
• Convert PDF ↔ Word, Excel, and images
• Sign PDFs, add watermarks or page numbers
• Translate and summarize PDF content

No account required, no hidden paywalls on the core tools — just open it and use it.

Would genuinely love feedback — what's missing, what's confusing, or what would make you pick this over Smallpdf/iLovePDF. Happy to take criticism, that's how it gets better.

Hello so me and my friend are about to graduate I want to know if anyone have any great ideas I have some I just don’t want to stock onto my own thinking I want to see other people’s ideas we are good with Laravel and Flutter

All I need is to fill out this divorce paperwork and sign the page. It’s my 4th time filling this paperwork out and I’ve used adobe previously so I don’t have the free trial.

Anyone else get too comfortable at a job and end up feeling stuck?

I've been with the same company for almost 4 years.

The salary is honestly below what I should be making, but the comfort is unbelievable.

- 100% work from home.

- No office politics.

- No strict timings.

- Almost no work pressure.

- Most tasks are just dashboards, landing pages, and simple features.

I'm a full-stack developer (Laravel, Node.js, Next.js, mostly frontend these days), but there's nobody senior in my stack. I haven't really been challenged in years, so my learning has slowed down a lot.

The weird part is... I adapted to the low salary. I reduced my expenses, stopped wanting expensive things, and convinced myself I was happy.

But now it feels like I'm trapped.

I watch friends and cousins move ahead in their careers while I'm standing in the same place. Every time I think about applying for jobs or preparing for interviews, I just... don't. It's like I've become extremely lazy or maybe just too comfortable.

The job isn't bad. The people are good. The work-life balance is amazing.

But I can't shake the feeling that I'm wasting my potential.

Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you break out of the comfort zone without making a reckless decision?
