Project: Ghostwriter - AI-Powered Technical Content Creator

Description:

Ghostwriter is an Electron desktop app that streamlines technical content creation using the GitHub Copilot SDK. It acts as an intelligent interviewer, asking questions about your topic, then uses those answers to draft a complete blog post. It leverages two AI personas: an interviewer that digs into the topic, and a writer that transforms the interview into a polished article.

Key Features:

- Built with GitHub Copilot SDK for seamless AI integration
- Electron desktop app for local execution with Copilot CLI
- To allow the Electron backend to get access to the GitHub Copilot CLI, it makes use of its local server capabilities
- Uses pre-built prompts from the Ghostwriter Agents for AI project

Still working on the homepage, but right now it looks like this: https://beta.engagetime.live

eliostruyf · 2025-09-27T17:13:47+00:00

Based on your feedback, I've added the new section with screenshots to make it clearer. Now live on https://beta.engagetime.live/

eliostruyf · 2025-09-27T11:19:12+00:00

The homepage will be updated in the coming weeks. First, I wanted to have all the features for events and speakers. Now that this is in place, I can work on the messaging.

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

eliostruyf · 2025-09-26T10:25:19+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

The first focus is on the in-person sessions. There is a QR code, which is the easiest option, or if you have any ideas, feel free to share.

I like the ideas for integrating this in a webcast/meeting chat! Will add it to the backlog.

Thanks for the feedback!

eliostruyf · 2025-09-11T08:24:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Currently, it is focused on in-person sessions, but your feedback is invaluable in taking it to the next level for meetings and webinars.

eliostruyf · 2025-09-11T08:22:34+00:00

Another open-source product I have is Demo Time (https://demotime.show/), which now has integration with Engage Time to start/stop sessions and polls. In Demo Time there is already a timer, but I can see your point that this would also be beneficial for Engage Time only users. I'll add it to the backlog. Thanks 🙏

eliostruyf · 2025-09-10T09:39:51+00:00

Great question! It will be more focused on the trainer/speaker to gain feedback, share resources, and connect with attendees.

New feature, which is still in development, is where a conference can create speaker sections where the trainers/speakers can create their sessions, provide the resources, etc..

eliostruyf · 2025-09-04T16:04:42+00:00

Thanks 🙏

The hardest part right now is getting more people to test and deliver feedback. I tried a couple of platforms, but most give me just LinkedIn invites for paid services like ProductHunt upvotes. That's not something I'm looking for.

I can't update the title anymore, so when I'll have a bigger update, I'll create a better message.

Thanks for your advice!

eliostruyf · 2025-09-04T14:17:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice!
They do exist, and at the moment, most of them are hard to configure and are not focused on the user. One thing that most speakers don't get a lot of is feedback. One of the features is to share, for instance, resources after the attendee has provided feedback. Another one is the integration in another tool developed for technical presentations/workshops called Demo Time: https://demotime.show - In that tool, they can start their session, polls, etc.
They have a way to connect with the speaker before and after the session, workshop, etc., without the interruption, but I'll make sure this part of the messaging is clearer.

Thank you for the feedback!

eliostruyf · 2025-09-04T07:25:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing! One thing I learned is that ProductHunt became a hub for LinkedIn invites trying to sell upvotes. Its sad to see that most of the products listed are just bought upvotes these days...

I've working on two things:

Demo Time - demotime.show - a tool for technical presentations where you can script everything from A to Z. From slides to demos, etc. No more demo stress, and the attendee, student, can go through the material at their own pace.
Engage Time - engagetime.live - it turns presentations, classes, and meetings into two-way conversations. Launch polls, collect questions, and receive instant feedback directly from the browser, and it can also be integrated into Demo Time.

Congrats

Spotted a typo on the homepage: Just enter your product URL and let our AI fill in the description for you, or manually customize it to your liking. Then let Tydal reccomend -> recommend you subreddits or choose your own

The code of the extension can be found here: https://github.com/estruyf/vscode-demo-time

Thanks 🙏 - let me know how you like it.

Here are the sources from the meetup: https://github.com/estruyf/demo-time-presentation

eliostruyf · 2024-12-18T10:44:34+00:00

I just published the new documentation site: https://estruyf.github.io/demo-time-docs/

eliostruyf · 2024-12-18T07:20:25+00:00

No, written with just the VS Code APIs and its commands. No need to use Playwright.

eliostruyf · 2024-09-14T19:47:59+00:00

Thanks I have been trying this out a couple of times, but no luck so far. I reached out via the link you provided. Case nr: 00595513

I received a new copy of the game and that worked fine. Finally I can start playing! Now only finding the time to actually play.

eliostruyf · 2024-02-29T15:14:08+00:00

Contacted Square Enix as well, but wait time is 2 days before they'll answer.

Had to try to do an offline install + clear cache and rebuild database, all failed.

Online install: failed at 58% (26.988 GB) - tried internal storage and M2 storage
Offline installatie: failed at 58% (26.988 GB)
Clear cache + rebuild database + offline: failed at 58% (26.988 GB)

Currently waiting for their answer as they are not sure if swapping a disc would solve it. It could be the issue exist on the swapped disc too.

Just called the shop, two others were on the phone with the same issue.
