I build a demo web app for realime transcribing using OpenAI's newest gpt-4o-transcribe/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe models with their WebSocket realtime API.

This is my experiment, partly because I want a simpler way to return a request. Let me know what you think :)

On: Show HN: I made a GitHub stars manager

[daiwei]

Maybe I didn't communicate well, but I was trying to manage the repo you starred, instead of your own repo. You only need this if you have starred a lot of repos.

On: Show HN: A generic router to manage url like object state

[daiwei]

Where it really shines is when you want to combine routing with state management layer, e.g. Redux. This way route information can be fully consumed by your data layer.

I've used `nav` or `section` for a long time, never found of the difference from `div`. Screen readers? Maybe for `nav`, what about `section` and other 1000 tags with subtle different semantics?

[bluejekyll → daiwei]

this is all about default CSS values associated with the tag, you can override them as you like which is probably what your relying on.

[estefan → bluejekyll]

But obviously when you use your reset.css that all goes out the window anyway... I thought it was some semantic thing for screen readers.

[FilterSweep → estefan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there are aria attributes (e.g.: role="navigation") that can also be used as well for this same purpose. Nav is probably safer, but agreed on the CSS reset.

Totally agree. I see front end job descriptions asking for understanding of Java and .Net but no mentioning of JS, CSS or any HTML. There could be easily a miscommunication of misunderstanding what the company want. Not saying the job description used here is wrong, just an example of miscommunication.

I recently saw an Ad for a front end job requiring: "strong Java Scripts" skills.

[at-fates-hands → pkinchla]

Just got an email yesterday from a corporate recruiter with the line "must have strong JAVA script" skills.

My instant reaction was, "You keep using that word, I do not think it means, what you think it means."

10 points for who can name the movie that has the quote...

"Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora".

[tex0gen → pkinchla]

I think that would be down to the recruitment agencies most of the time. Truth is they have a phone call and assume it's 2 separate words.

In my experience job postings like that focus solely on JavaScript and whatever tools the company uses—HTML/CSS is usually implied, no one has ever asked me about it.

On: Show HN: Web-playground – An Enjoyable Playground for HTML, JavaScript and CSS

[daiwei]

Web Playground is command line tool for quick prototyping, demo, tutorial or presentation in the browser. It works by quickly scaffolding just one HTML, one JavaScript and one CSS file, and opening a browser with live reloading. Optionally, you can update playground.yml to enable common preprocessors such as Babel or SASS, or add additional script/style tags to the page.
