Hi everyone,

Great Books Homeschool has just released this free tool for generating high school transcripts using the standard American unweighted GPA system. It's available to the public at no cost, and no account creation is required.

These are both resources that would have saved me time as a new homeschooling parent, and I hope they are helpful to others.

Comments and feedback are welcome!

Hi HN

A few folks and I have been working on this project for a couple weeks now. After previously working on the Docker project for a number of years (both on the container runtime and image registry side), the recent rise in open source language models made us think something similar needed to exist for large language models too.

While not exactly the same as running linux containers, running LLMs shares quite a few of the same challenges. There are "base layers" (e.g. models like Llama 2), specific configuration to run correctly (parameters, temperature, context window sizes etc). There's also embeddings that a model can use at runtime to look up data – we don't support this yet but it's something we're looking at doing soon.

It's an early project, and there's still lots to do!

Hello HN,

Seven years ago, I complained about Salesforce on HN. Somebody said: "one day, someone will do better". That stuck and today we're trying to be that “someone” with my co-founders Thomas (design) and Charles (eng like me). Our company is called Twenty and our repo is here: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty

We want to fix two issues: most CRMs aren't enjoyable to use and they often clash with engineering teams.

YC encouraged us to launch early. What you see now is about two months' worth of feature development. Our tool only does a small part of what big CRM players offer, but we focused on providing a great user experience on the basics, instead of spreading ourselves thin across a vast range of features and delivering them half-heartedly. Plus, we've found that many small companies like the product as it is because they don't need all the complex stuff.

Once we have covered the basics, we’ll soon be working on three big features: - Moving to a robust metadata-driven architecture; - Providing innovating ways to extend the CRM with Typescript; - Making it easy to connect data sources, and fetch data in real-time like in BI tools.

The startup world is littered with ghosts of so-called "Salesforce killers", so we know it sounds naive to pitch ourselves in a similar way. But we think that if someone ends up changing this market, it will most likely be through a community-led effort. And there hasn’t really been any serious attempt to start a great new open source CRM in the last decade.

Twenty is built with Typescript, React, and NestJS with GraphQL, and licensed under AGPL. We plan to make money by offering a hosted version. Our docs are here: https://docs.twenty.com. Try on cloud: https://app.twenty.com.

Dev setup and demo: https://www.loom.com/share/7b20b44d8d5146fea8923183511bb818 (Loom said they couldn’t provide a transcript because they don’t support “language other than english” haha... apologies in advance!)

We’re very eager to get your feedback as we haven’t launched anywhere before this post. What's your CRM story? What should we prioritize next?

What I thought would take me weeks in development, took me months, but it's finally out. When ChatGPT API came out in March, my first idea of what to build with it was a spotlight-like app for my mac. The product was ready in a matter of days, but making it useful and sellable to people via some kind of distribution platform was another challenge. Coming from web development, learning how to ship a native app was a trip, but here it is, ready to share with the world. Try it out with the free trial, and I'd appreciate any kind of feedback.
