Thank you for your kind words. I added a video progress bar to VOD content today, you can tap or swipe to navigate through the video. As for live IPTV content there is no progress bar yet; I'm still getting acquainted with the intricacies of IPTV protocol and what video seeking looks like in a live video streaming app. If you pause the video or otherwise get out of sync with a livestream the "LIVE" button will change to "GO LIVE", if you click it you'll be synced with live stream.
I’m Dalton, the creator of CatCompass, and after years of beta testing in my local community, I’m excited to finally launch it globally!
What is CatCompass?
CatCompass is a crowdsourced platform for reporting stray cat sightings. Just snap a photo, and the app automatically tags your location—helping shelters, TNR programs, and rescue organizations better allocate resources where they’re needed most.
CatCompass Impact: Staying Close to the Problem
This platform isn’t just something I built—I actively rescue, vaccinate, sterilize, and find homes for stray cats myself. So far, I’ve personally helped over 20 cats since launching CatCompass. Being hands-on with this work keeps me connected to the reality of the problem—I never want to forget why I built CatCompass in the first place.
By staying directly involved in TNR, fostering, and adoption efforts, I ensure CatCompass isn’t just another app—it’s a tool built from real-world experience, designed to make a tangible impact on stray cat welfare.
CatCompass Sentry: Automated Colony Tracking
CatCompass Sentry is a feature designed to monitor cat colonies 24/7.
Here’s how it works:
• When using the CatCompass camera, hit the shield icon to activate Sentry mode.
• Aim your camera at a feeding station, shelter, or colony location.
• The camera will automatically take a photo whenever it detects a cat—up to 4 times per hour.
• Use an old phone or any webcam-enabled device to continuously track cat activity.
Sentry helps caregivers and rescue groups monitor stray cat activity without constantly being present, making it easier to track colony members, detect new arrivals, and ensure cats are eating safely.
AI-Powered Moderation for Better Data
To ensure accurate and effective reporting, CatCompass features an AI Moderator that analyzes each image for:
• Outdoor settings to confirm the cat is a stray.
• Collars or other identifiers to distinguish lost pets from true strays.
• Eating behavior to track feeding patterns and support Compassion Credits.
• And more
This AI-driven verification improves data accuracy and ensures that every reported sighting contributes valuable insights for rescue groups, shelters, and researchers.
Gamifying Compassion: Earn Rewards for Feeding Strays
Through our Compassion Credits program, users can earn rewards by feeding stray cats. Simply snap a photo of a feeding moment, collect credits, and redeem them for exclusive deals at participating businesses. It’s a way to incentivize kindness and turn everyday acts of compassion into a community-driven movement.
Join Us & Make an Impact
After years of local testing, CatCompass is now live globally, and I’d love for you to be a part of it. Whether you’re a cat lover, a TNR volunteer, or someone who just wants to make a difference, your contributions can help shape a better future for stray cats.

What if you could speak to history’s greatest minds? Or ensure your own voice lives on forever? With the power of AI, ÆTERNARE makes that possible—allowing you to connect with the past or digitally preserve yourself for the future.
This project has been a long time in the making. I started building ÆTERNARE a few months before my mom passed away, but back then, I wasn’t in the best headspace. I realized I wasn’t trying to preserve her—I was cloning myself. And not for the right reasons. I wanted to leave something behind because I didn’t plan on staying.
So I stepped away. I took the time I needed.
Now, I’m in a place where I can finally share this with the world. ÆTERNARE isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to keep the voices that matter alive. To bridge the gap between past, present, and future.
Thank you for purchasing IntelliPlugin. I appreciate your support. You can reach out at [email protected] if you ever have anymore questions. Hope you build some cool plugins.
Awesome I’m glad it’s resolved. There is still some prompting that goes into it. So in your case you might start off saying something like “when editing a page in dashboard show a google translate button by the save button that when clicked asks me for a language to translate to; use google translate API to translate page contents and then create {{page_name}}-{{language}} page and save it.” But honestly I’d do something like “If somebody adds ?language=language_here to the end of a page use the Google Translate API to translate the page content. Cache the translation until page is updated again.” Toy around a bit and tweak prompt until initial generation fits your needs. It also won’t get super complex things right on the first try. Get an initial version saved and then switch to edit mode and add additional functionality 1 prompt at a time. Even say things like “that’s not exactly what I asked for do this”, “there’s a bug fix it”, “add a settings page to admin dashboard so I can enter Google Translate API key”, “add a translate button to the footer of all pages”, etc. As codebase gets more in line with what you want IntelliPlugin will start working smarter.
The plugin code itself is outputted on page it just sounds like it’s not being written to your file system? Okay so when you go to the plugins page is the generated plugin there? If not this sounds like a file permissions error preventing the plugin files from being uploaded. Do you have any Security plugins active by any chance or manual rules to prevent writing to file system with a plugin?
In what way is it not working? You hit “IntelliPlugin” in /admin dashboard nav and hit “Generate”. Then you enter a prompt and hit “Generate Plugin”? What happens for you after that step?
First off thank you for purchasing and supporting me. Did you enter your OpenAI key in settings? In what way is it not working? I’d love to help. We can chat in X DMs if you wish I’m @daltonedwards. (Make sure you’re uploading intelliplugin.zip in dashboard on upload plugin page)
Thank you. $25 one time ($50 next month). The perks of using IntelliPlugin over ChatGPT is IntelliPlugin is integrated directly into WordPress. No copy/pasting code over to WP it automatically downloads the AI generated plugin to your site with the option to review the code and/or activate it. You can also edit/add to the generated plugins without coding too.
I apologize about the confusion. 1MB is all of the above. Website hosting, blogging, cloud code editor, AI functionality. A web developer’s Swiss Army knife. This new homepage is still under construction; I’m open to feedback on how I can better communicate what 1MB is

It’s not aggressive to give you the same exact energy you throw my way. You can write up a big long paragraph and make me out however you want, but at the end of the day I’ve been accommodating. You can’t shit on my hard work and basically call me a money hungry scammer and then act surprised when I give you attitude back. You’ve accused me of trying to benefit from Twitter’s acquisition, accused me of lying about user numbers, accused me of selling user information - that’s a really big conclusion to come to when you’ve even admitted that you refuse to go past the homepage and actually explore the site.
Why do you keep quoting my comments from a year ago? I know what I said. As I’ve said - at the time most social networks were only a homepage; Twitter just recently opened their gates which inspired me to follow suit. I can recognize that from the beginning that opening Vers up would have been beneficial, but at the same time not a requirement. The fact that I didn’t open Vers up sooner doesn’t take away from the legitimacy of the platform today. Really can only sum it up to both parties being right in their own way.
You have no right to keep commenting on all of my stuff and trying to define my character. I am kind and intelligent, and I started Vers to embody those characteristics inside a social networking app.
There is giving actionable feedback and then there is being a hater who will hate a concept no matter what the outcome.
The explore page is only featured members since it’s the first page people see and I didn’t want people abusing that with spam. Search “*” (without quotes) and it’ll show you posts from everybody. You were complaining the other day that there was no explore page, so I make one and you’re still complaining - to me it looks like you just want to complain. To each their own I wish you all the best; can’t please everybody.
I took HN’s feedback into mind and made site accessible without a log in. You can explore all the posts and members now. Log in and register links are in bottom nav; more info about Vers is available on the log in page.
What is Vers?
- With Vers you get a chronological feed. Only posts from the people you follow, in the order they are posted. No more sponsored posts, no ads, and no algorithm changing the order of your feed behind the scenes.
- Don't get sucked into a feed full of posts you've already read. The Vers distraction-free feed removes the noise by only showing you 1 post at a time. Once you interact with that post it will never be seen again. When you're out of posts your feed will be empty. Enjoy social media free from distractions.
- Vers is a social network for those who are tired of social networks. No worries about follows, likes, or any other superficial social media numbers that ruin the experience, it's just you and your content. Tell your stories and share your thoughts with the world. On Vers only you can see how many likes and followers you have so there's no external pressure to perform well.
- Ever get tired of the constant notifications on your phone? One notification, then another, and another. As the minutes go by it's hard to feel present in the moment you're in because of the distraction of the next notification. With Vers you can set it up so you only receive your notifications once per day.
- Studies have shown that vibrant colors are a crucial part of how social networks get people addicted. Enter Grayscale Mode, a scientifically proven feature that's able to minimize your addiction to social networking. By stripping away all the neuron-stimulating colors from the site you'll be less motivated to use Vers.
With lots of thoughtfully designed features that put you in control of your social media experience and help you foster meaningful connections. 3 more features I didn’t list are that the site shows posts in your timezone and the author’s for extra context. You can enable bedtime mode and the site will encourage you to log off and get 8 hours of sleep, and your profile will even let people know you’re away. Another cool feature is if you’re sad Vers will encourage your followers to cheer you up.
There’s no social network out there like Vers, and it’s even better because it’s not built by some big team or billionaire. It’s built by 1 25 year old in NY.
Unfortunately just because a couple people on Hacker News requested a different homepage it doesn’t change how the market works. Twitter’s homepage is nothing but a log in form and so is Facebook’s. Vers’ homepage has paragraphs explaining the site - it is more explanatory than the other social networks you get a better idea of what you’re joining than with the others. You don’t see a public feed on Facebook or Twitter’s homepage. This is my hard work and you’re writing me off on a technicality
Respectfully this is a non-issue. Every social network’s homepage looks exactly like mine - a short description and a log in form. Go to Twitter or Facebook and their homepage will look exactly the same. People are nitpicking. I also have multiple paragraphs explaining the app so I actually am more explanatory than most social networks. I recommend actually joining the site and seeing how it works before hopping onto the bandwagon from last year - I think that’s only fair
