Ask HN: Would it be ethnical (or legal?) to make a FOSS AI voice clone of JARVIS

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 6:04am

There's plenty of podcasts and recordings of Paul Bettany voicing JARVIS from Iron Man, just wondering about the implications of this, especially because of how easy it is to make voice clones now. Can even use it as a voice for home assistant.

Just got this random shower thought and posted it here Thoughts?

I built Boost Toad, instantly generate an MVP feature plan from your idea

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 6:03am

Hey I'm Toad,

I’ve been working on a tool called Boost Toad – it helps you go from a vague startup idea to a structured MVP feature roadmap in minutes.

You just type in your idea with a description (e.g., "an AI startup assistant that generates you lean canvas business plan and then will guide you through planning features with suggestions and map out the quickest and most valuable way to build an MVP for the underlying problem"), and it generates:

A core feature list - for you to choose from Suggested enhancements A lightweight MVP plan you can actually build, that will actually be valuable I built it because I've always been fascinated with business, I've read all the startup books, multiple times, and now I want to put that all into a reuasble framework for every project.

This is just the beginning, the whole idea is to add every step of the way to keep you on track, from validating early, pivoting / stopping if the validation isn't there, how to market your idea etc. Pretty much I want it to be a robust assistant on helping you do the right things at the right time to ensure your product ends up profitable or you don't waste time on a dead goose.

If I've peaked your interest at all you can try it FREE here: https://boosttoad.com/?utm_source=hn&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=launch

Show HN: Tagada – A Gmail extension for faster, more structured replies

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 5:58am

Hi HN,

I’ve built a Chrome extension called Tagada to make replying to long, cluttered emails less painful. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to parse a dense email thread and craft a thoughtful reply, this might help.

What it does:

- Lets you highlight key phrases in an email and tag them by category (e.g., question, request, update). - When you click “Reply,” it auto-generates a structured response template with fields matched to the tags. - You can then focus just on the important parts and write concise, clear replies.

The idea came from my own frustration with messy email chains and constantly missing critical points buried in text. I wanted something lightweight that helps me organize my thoughts quickly when responding.

Here’s the link: https://tagada.pro

Would love feedback—especially from folks who deal with lots of emails daily. Happy to answer any questions!

Hacker News - Fri, 05/02/2025 - 5:48am

Just wanted to update on this — it’s a filesystem using a red-black tree for directory indexing and CRC32 checksums for consistency. Feel free to browse the source:
