ryduh commented on Built: A tool to score kids' movies scene-by-scene using subtitles and LLMs   tinyviewers.vercel.app/... · Posted by u/kpolevoy

We kept watching the same 5–6 “safe” movies with our toddler, because trying anything new often meant tears — a sudden villain, loud crash, or emotional gut punch we didn’t see coming.

So I built TinyViewers: a searchable database that breaks down kids’ movies scene by scene, with age-specific “scary” scores (for ages 2–5) and content warnings.

How it works:

Pulled subtitle .srt files and stored them in postgres DB

Used Claude/GPT to chunk scenes + assess intensity

Assigned age-based scary scores (2, 3, 4, 5)

Built with Supabase + Next.js (using Cursor AI)

Added a UI to be able to analyze movies that aren't in DB currently (hidden behind a passcode)

This was a recurring pain point in our house — figured it might help other parents too.

Thanks for this. We've been stuck w/ the same couple "safe" movies so this is helpful! What are your 'safe' movies?

Is this a guess or is it informed by facts?

Laravel has wayyy too much built in to consider using vanilla PHP. To me the question is rather why would you want to use vanilla PHP?

I think you'd need to spend more than 50% of the year living in NV to not have to pay CA taxes so you might be stuck paying CA income taxes on it anyway.

I didn't know that new Subaru's can come with driver assist. How does it work? What's your experience with it?

I've got a 2013, and am thinking about trading in.

I love our 2017 Outback w/ EyeSight. Luckily, we haven't had to test the auto braking system at high speeds but the lane assist and assisted cruise control are wonderful.

I really like container tabs (you have to enable them in about:config - privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled). It allows me to have multiple AWS accounts open at the same time without having 2 different browsers or one account open in private mode. I have 2 main containers I use: production and staging.

Whoa. Didn't know about that. Definitely going to give FF a shot now. Thanks!
ryduh commented on How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form?    · Posted by u/s1mpl3

Interesting, that's really useful. But, assuming I have MagTek connected via USB to the computer, how does this code "listen" for the swipe? It looks like it can handle parsing the data just fine, but my question is how to get the data from the swipe into the javascript for parsing
ryduh · 9 years ago
The MagTek reader acts as a USB HID (aka a keyboard). When the cursor focus is put on a text field and you swipe a card, the MagTek device acts as if someone typed each character into the field. Then the javascript detects that and parses it out

Hi s1pml3, yes, it's possible. Check out https://jsfiddle.net/KurtWM/tgeWn/

phppointofsale.com uses that code. Check out their demo. They swiping cards and breaking out the code into separate input fields.

Hi Kalle, I love my daily pour over, so I might not be your target market, but I'd definitely be interested in purchasing a few coffees without a subscription. Have you thought about offering that?

Hey guys, I recently gave a talk at Microconf and decided to be brutally honest.

So far it's got great feedback like "great read on the evolution of @teamwork - should be required reading for every SaaS founder & funder" (see @irltopper).

I really hope this story resonates with some of you and you find the tips useful.

Hey there, I think the url you submitted is wrong. You're missing a w in www. Here's a correct link:
