Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMS https://ift.tt/IqcygO5

Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMS # Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMS. Hey HN! We're building an open-source CMS designed to help creators with every part of the content production pipeline. We're showing our tiny first step: A tool designed to take in a Twitter username and produce an "identity card" based on it. We expect to use an approach similar to [Constitutional AI] with an explicit focus on repeatability, testability, and verification of an "identity card." We think this approach could be used to create finetuning examples for training changes, or serve as inference time insight for LLMs, or most likely a combination of the two. The tooling we're showing today is extremely simplistic (and the AI is frankly bad) but this is intentional. We're more focused on showing the dev experience and community aspects. We'd like to make it easier to contribute to this project than edit Wikipedia. Communities are frustrated with things like Wordpress, Apache, and other open source foundations focusing on things other than software. We have a lot of community ideas (governance via vote by jury is perhaps the most interesting). We're a team of 5, and we've bounced around a few companies with each other. We're all professional creators (video + music) and we're creating tooling for ourselves first. Previously, we did a startup called Vidpresso (YC W14) that was acquired by Facebook in 2018. We all worked at Facebook for 5 years on creator tooling, and have since left to start this thing. After leaving FB, it was painful for us to leave the warm embrace of the Facebook infra team where we had amazing tooling. Since then, we've pivoted a bunch of times trying to figure out our "real" product. While we think we've finally nailed it, the developer experience we built is one we think others could benefit from. Our tooling is designed so any developer can easily jump in and start contributing. It's an AI-first dev environment designed with a few key principles in mind: 1. You should be able to discover any command you need to run without looking at docs. 2. To make a change, as much context as possible should be provided as close to the code as possible. 3. AIs are "people too", in the sense that they benefit from focused context, and not being distracted by having to search deeply through multiple files or documentation to make changes. We have a few non-traditional elements to our stack which we think are worth exploring. [Isograph] helps us simplify our component usage with GraphQL. [Replit] lets people use AI coding without needing to set up any additional tooling. We've learned how to treat it like a junior developer, and think it will be the best platform for AI-first open source projects going forward. [Sapling] (and Git together) for version control. It might sound counter intuitive, but we use Git to manage agent interactionsand we use Sapling to manage "purposeful" commits. My last [Show HN post in 2013] ended up helping me find my Vidpresso cofounder so I have high hopes for this one. I'm excited to meet anyone, developers, creators, or nice people in general, and start to work with them to make this project work. I have good references of being a nice guy, and aim to keep that going with this project. The best way to work with us is [remix our Replit app] and [join our Discord]. Thanks for reading and checking us out! It's super early, but we're excited to work with you! [Constitutional AI]: https://ift.tt/FhQNak3...

Twin Peaks for All: Survey Results

Twin Peaks for All: Survey Results By Benjamin Barnett Last month, the SFMTA and San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department released a survey seeking public feedback regarding  five proposed roadway options for Twin Peaks Boulevard . San Franciscans responded to the survey, ranked support for each alternative and shared opinions about how the different options met their needs.  The Twin Peaks for All survey was open for almost three weeks and received more than 1,700 responses. This number reflects the high level of interest for this San Francisco park and its future access.   Survey Background Conditions on Twin Peaks Boulevard between Portola Drive and Barnett Avenue before COVID street closures.   The Twin Peaks Boulevard gates were closed early in the pandemic to reduce crowding at the lookout point parking lot. The gates were closed on the north, at Burnett Avenue, and the south, at Portola Drive. Since then, Twin Peaks Park use by hikers, joggers and peopl...

Welcoming Back the M Ocean View and 31 Balboa

Welcoming Back the M Ocean View and 31 Balboa By Kate McCarthy The M Ocean View will return to rail service and resume its full pre-pandemic route in August As August 14 approaches, the target date for the next big Muni service change, the SFMTA is pleased to announce Muni’s M Ocean View will be returning to rail service and the 31 Balboa will be returning to service with a temporarily adjusted route. We thank Supervisors Melgar, Safai, Preston and Haney for their advocacy for the return of this service on behalf of their constituents. The addition of the 31 Balboa and return of the M Ocean View to rail service was made possible following improved clarity on our staffing levels this fall. We had previously forecast that due to an abnormally low level of retirements during the pandemic, we would see a spike at the start of the fiscal year (July 1) when many staff tend to announce their retirements. However, we are now confident there will be adequate staffing to deliver this addit...
