To be honest, you don't even need AI for something like that. You might just write a script to automate that kind of thing which is no more than a scrape-and-notify logic.


Bandsintown already does this


I did the same and my first result was NordVPN, lmao.


Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think iTunes doesn't put any DRM on the albums you buy from there.


Once upon a time they did, but I've been buying DRM-free music from iTunes for a long time now. The songs might have a watermark though? I don't really think so, but even if they did, I don't really have a problem with that.


Could you give a couple specific examples? I'm trying to get into traditional NLP but everything I find is AI related and I don't know if it's worth going the traditional route long-term.


Sounds super fun for a weekend project tbh


Feel free to run with it if you want, I haven't coded in a very long time.


I share this sentiment. I like that OP is not afraid to say that the code quality might be not the best. In the end, for projects that are made for fun and out of curiosity, it doesn't matter that much (at least in the early stages).

If it becomes popular though, you can always just refactor and improve the important parts.


Amazing. It doesn't surprise me that the most simple workflows are the ones that work best. Probably because there is not a lot of resistance (keyboard shortcut instead of searching through a list of apps / no tutorial on how to use it; it's just a text file / it's easily readable and you get to choose the formatting and structure of your text).

As a developer, however, I have to scratch the itch of always having "wrangleable" data, and yet again text files are the best at it. I am already thinking of doing this and just follow a set of writing "guidelines" so I can parse the txt if I wanted to do some visualization stuff.


It looks like a fun project. It may have not been designed to comply to the highest UX standards but to try and break things.


Hello, fellow migraine sufferers. I sincerely want you to read the fantastic essay "In Bed" by Joan Didion. It is a fantastic reflection on what it is like to have migraines and it makes me cry every time I read it because it makes me feel seen and understood.

"For I had no brain tumor, no eyestrain, no high blood pressure, nothing wrong with me at all: I simply had migraine headaches, and migraine headaches were, as everyone who did not have them knew, imaginary."

Read it; it's a google search away. You'll thank me.


It's like when you play World of Warcraft for the first time and you have this character boost to max level and you use it. You didn't go through the leveling phase and you do not understand the mechanics of your character, the behaviour of the mobs, or even how to get to another continent.

You are directly loaded with all the shiny tools and, while it does make it interesting and fun at first, the magic wears off rather quickly.

On the other hand, when you had to fight and learn your way up to level 80, you have this deeper and well-earned understanding of the game that makes for a fantastic experience.
