I tried to do something like that here: https://musicdocks.com/

Github: https://github.com/jantznick/youtube-spotify

It essentially uses youtube as the music source, I think I heard somewhere that playing through embedded videos skips ads but I'm not really sure, in all my time testing it I never noticed ads, but I'm also on premium so that may have been why.

by all means critique, I don't know that I have a ton of time left for it and I'm sure there's bugs here and there. I was having issues getting it to autoplay on desktop when the window itself wasn't the active tab. I never really tried it on mobile.

I was trying to get some DB of artist/song info but doing that was proving to be complicated.

Am I missing something other commenters are seeing about this not being an ad? The domain is on Burla, which hosted the compute needed for this. There's a giant airbnb x burla logo at the top. People are saying there's a lawsuit pending, it's against guidelines, what's the point, etc..

It's content marketing plain and simple for Burla towards people that view this site. It was highly likely done by employees at both Burla and AirBNB together as a joint project.

Like the social listening section under social media marketing in this linked guide?

I watched the demo. It looks like a clone of duolingo. Can you do a better job of explaining how this is different? What features does it have that duo doesn't. How does the app push you to those features vs just falling into the same pattern as duo?

You say you learned Turkish with lairner. What level of fluency did you achieve? Are you able to take in native content with full comprehension?

Edit: I'm not trying to be argumentative, I see a lot of people come on Show HN with these fantastic projects but are poorly marketed. You seem to have some differentiator but I'm not seeing it in action. I wish you the best success with this, and I can assure you, if it's as good as you say I will be your biggest customer and fan.

> "- It was easier to find a link to where you worked at than your repo (https://github.com/skaldlabs/skald?tab=readme-ov-file), you should have linked it visibly"

Genuinely curious, can I ask why this is relevant to point out? This seems like just a general blog post, about raising money for a startup and personal reflections on it. Why would a link to a github repo be an important part of that?

Thanks for doing this! I recently was looking at enhancing workout.lol and noticed that but was wondering what happened. I have some enhancements and think still an open PR on the original repo I will port over.

Is this serious? Why is it not a good look?

Remember 95%+ of potential users of this app have not spent a minute concerned about Googles data harvesting.

Im not the person you’re asking but this looks like it sits inline to the actual shaft that turns the blinds. Not the pole that hangs down you turn by hand.

I looked at doing this exact thing and on my blinds there’s plenty of room in the top construction of the blinds to put a servo in there you would never see unless you’re looking for it. The rod itself was even not perfectly round so you could 3d print a shape to go around it very easily. I’m honestly shocked there’s not an aftermarket company already doing this exact thing.

Meh, they're just complaining because it's cool to whine about AirBNB online these days, US based AirBNB has had this feature for quite awhile now.

There’s video of the creation of the death of a phone box piece in his documentary and it was indeed a team of a few people.

What do you mean by targeted at polyglots? Almost all apps allow you to chose your base and target language. Laddering like this is very common.
