Show HN: I built a YouTube for generative videos in 50 prompts
So I decided yesterday to do a full rewrite of the media gallery, turning it into a generative media catalog with full-suite social interactions, search, and personalized recommendations built on top of the samsar-js library. It took around 50 prompts in 5 sessions to get this done across the client and API, built with Codex GPT-5.6 Sol, Luna, and then Sol again (rate limit reset, thx Mr. Sama). I did not use screenshots for the UI, It was entirely hand-prompted end-to-end. The project is fully

The Benefits of a Tri-Merge Standard
For many looking to take out a loan, loan officers will compile information to see what a consumer’s creditworthiness is. This allows loan officers to have a greater understanding of one’s financial state and not only make more informed decisions but also be able to expand the options for financial opportunities. In recent years, there has been a push to only consider a single or bi-merge score, but this is not the best method. A tri-merge approval utilizes the median of three scores. Missing ev
