Show HN: I built a Lyrics Poster Maker – Turn song lyrics into beautiful posters
Why I built this:
I wanted a way to visually represent my favorite lyrics as art.
Existing tools were either too complex or didn’t focus on typography.
Fun weekend project to play with CSS Grid & generative design.

Show HN: Personal Time Tracking with Git
I've been trying to figure out how long feature development takes, for years. I'm not a fan of (a priori) estimations of work, which just seem like the wrong measure. I think I've got a better way.
Genuinely interested if some git gurus can improve this. Particularly around the pre-push hook, which is dependent on retained squash commit text. Or if there's an entirely better way to achieve the same thing.

Show HN: A web app that shows toilets near you
Hello HN, I made a website where you can find toilets nearby on a map. It has data for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I fetched the data from openstreetmap with overpass API, cleaned it up and stored it in a supabase DB. In case there was no address, i used nominatim API to geocode it. Feel free to ckeck it out. Happy for feedback.

Norbert Wiener, AI, and the Power of the State
Norbert wrote the book "Cybernetics". There was a review by Pere Dubarle which discusses the likely result of Norbert's work in the "far future", aka today.
"For the human processes which constitute the object of government may be assimilated to games in the sense in which von Neumann has studied them mathematically. Even though these games have an incomplete set of rules, there are other games with a very large number of players, where the data are extremely complex. The machines will define the State as the best-informed player at each particular level; and the State is the only supreme coordinator of all partial decisions. These are enormous privileges; if they are acquired scientifically, they will permit the State under all circumstances to beat every player of a human other than itself by offering this dilemma: either immediate ruin, or planned cooperation. This will be the consequences of the game itself without outside violence. The lovers of the best of worlds have something indeed to dream of!" (Wiener, Human Use Of Human Beings (1950), p207-208)
