Hey PH community 👋 Let's play some chess! ♟️ I’m Samuel, adult chess learner and maker of Noctie. We're back with a major upgrade for Noctie, your personal chess tutor! I was frustrated by my slow progress in chess. I wanted someone to practice with, and someone to learn from. So I built my own humanlike chess AI as a practice partner and tutor. One that plays just like a human at my own level,...

P.S. Play our skill test! https://go.noctie.ai/test It's free & doesn't require an account. It's a fun 5 minute challenge against the humanlike AI, where at the end the it guesses your rating! Who can get the highest rating? 😄

Hey PH community 👋 Any aspiring chess players here? ♟️ I’m Samuel, chess player and maker of Noctie, which we’re excited to launch here today! As a kid, I had no one to play chess against or learn from. I wanted one of those physical chess computers that I saw in magazines. When I finally got hold of some chess software I quickly realised playing against computers is no fun 🤖 Twenty-five years...

Congrats on the launch, looks nice! Can I export to MJML as well?

Love to see this back!

Great idea, saving for later!

Looks great! Had a funny conversation in Spanish about food. I can see myself using this. One thing I would like (maybe I just didnt find it?) is a way to stop the AI talking. E.g. she read me a really long recipe for Galician calamares, I pressed undo but she didn’t stop. Good luck with the launch!

Love the philosophy, let’s preserve human creativity. Congrats in the launch!

Love the concept of Cycle! Considering setting it up for our startup. Is Discord integration coming? The slack functionality looks really interesting but our user community is on Discord.

Love this! I’ve tried dozens of todo apps and this might be my favorite. Great balance of minimalism in functionality but high attention to UX detail! A few moments when I felt the app didn’t behave as I expected (that means the UX is super - my brain/hand expected the app to behave naturally): - I wanted to swipe/flick items to later. Maybe flick them downwards or swipe left (“snooze” except...

Looks great! I might add something :)

Nice! Gonna try this out

Clever idea! Congrats on the launch.

Looks cool, will check it out next time I need to learn something! Good luck with the launch.

This app is a pure scam unfortunately. They claim to have a free trial but immediately charge you for the most expensive tier even if you cancel. Then they keep saying you’ll get a refund, but you won’t, and they’ll keep charging until you block the card. They use repeated PH launches, AI review spam and paid ads to bring more suckers in, until the boat collapses and they run with the money....

Clever idea!

Tried it now and subscribed - works great. Thanks for making this!

Nice! I’ve been looking for exactly something like this, I love the minimalistic approach and think this is more effective than what the major apps are doing. I’m learning French and Spanish so won’t subscribe right now. Is there anything that’s keeping you from adding other languages? BTW one thing I would like is easier options for getting the vocab list “up to speed” with my current...
