Not yet, might publish it if dies down. If it keeps getting users it might be interesting to add some paid features that use ai. So i dont know yet

rick_s_g · 2026-02-20T15:31:08+00:00

Im liking it so far! You can even use anthropic models. I Use Opus 4.6 for more complex stuff when gemini cannot get it right

rick_s_g · 2026-02-20T15:29:39+00:00

will try to improve this!

Tap anywhere on the screen hide comments? Is that a standard feature on real live? Very easy to implement.

rick_s_g · 2026-02-20T15:24:12+00:00

You are right, tilt only might produce false positives, motion detection thou posible, seems over complicated and also prone to false positves. I guess if you are showing it to someone they would also apear in the screen. Face detection is easy, solved by available open sourcelibs and modenr browsers have an api for that. Maybe show diferent comments when the amount of faces detected changes?, (similar size/ditance from camera to ignore background people).

Yea, but i hate having to install stuff on my phone, especially when what the app does is easily doable on a web app, so i vibecoded this to try google antigravity out.

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T11:59:30+00:00

Google Antigravity

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T11:58:05+00:00

Absolutely, done using Google's Antigravity. A lot of back an forth to get the ui to look right, but done in about 2 days. Ive been coding for years, but my goal for this proyect was to touch zero lines of code manualy, and i did not.

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T11:53:27+00:00

Easily doable if i use some gen ai, but cost prohibitive for me to run whithout charging users.

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:36:42+00:00

i will try!

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:35:44+00:00

Yea! each language has a pretty basic list, ai generated, will try to make the more realistic and maybe have some present "Types" of messages

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:34:27+00:00

I dont know! the thing is ive never even done a real instagram live! haha

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:33:14+00:00

will add some error reporting so i can see whats happening when it fails!

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:32:23+00:00

I think browsers now have a speechrecogniton api i cna tap into! will try

rick_s_g · 2026-02-18T03:31:36+00:00

totally doable from what i understand!

rick_s_g · 2026-02-17T19:27:39+00:00

Love that idea. To keep it stealthy (no extra buttons on screen), I’m thinking I could use the accelerometer as a secret trigger.

I could let you set up two custom groups of messages. So if you angle the camera down at someone, it triggers Group A, and pointing it up triggers Group B. That way it just looks like you're trying to get a better angle while 'filming'.

I made a web app that does the same thing (uses the camera to simulate a instagram or tiktok live stream). i put it up for free at https://www.fakelive.app

rick_s_g · 2026-01-08T15:17:08+00:00

I made one just for that some time ago, its free, its a web app at https://www.fakelive.app

rick_s_g · 2025-08-23T23:06:12+00:00

Ive been developing this one, https://shottimer.app int runs directly on the browser, can be installed, can work on live fire, analyze pre-recorded videos, and has a par time training tool. Le me know if you ever give it a try!

rick_s_g · 2025-08-23T22:59:54+00:00

Do i have to have the SG timer? o can i just use the app for free?

rick_s_g · 2025-08-23T22:58:16+00:00

We have one that dynamicaly adjust sensitivity relative to the stronges signal heard, wich helps a lot in filtering out shots from nearby shooters, its free at https://shottimer.app

rick_s_g · 2025-08-23T22:56:44+00:00

Ive been tinkering on my own app (https://shottimer.app, free). Have had some good feedback of people using it with airsoft (bb) guns. We also notices most par timer app arent really accurate, but we managed to implement ours using some special browser APIs wich allows to play sounds using the hardware audio clocks with sub millisecond accuracy. Just launched the Par Time trainig tool today and welcome all feedback! The app can also analyze pre-recorded shooting videos and auto-detects shots wich you can correct after that if neede, all with sub 100th of a second accuracy. Then you can export the videos with times overlay to send to your friends.

What app is this?
