Show HN: Seven39, a social media app that is only open for 3 hours every evening
I built this site as a quick test if a time boxed social media experience feels better than an endless one. So far I've just been using it with friends and it feels nice, but it seems like it is time to bring it to a larger audience.
Let me know what you think! It is just based on EST for now, sorry.

Show HN: Bayleaf – Building a low-profile wireless split keyboard
Hey HN,
I built a wireless, split, ultra-low profile keyboard from scratch called Bayleaf. As a beginner I learned all things electronics, PCB-building, designing for manufacturing, and many other hardware-related skills to put this together.
This case study dives into the build process and of course the final result, hope you enjoy!

Show HN: I built an app to stop me doomscrolling by touching grass
i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps
the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not
i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.

Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines? How to thrive in a ChatGPT world
Jevin West and I are professors of data science and biology, respectively, at the University of Washington. After talking to literally hundreds of educators, employers, researchers, and policymakers, we have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take.
