New top story on Hacker News: GuitarPie: Electric Guitar Fretboard Pie Menus

GuitarPie: Electric Guitar Fretboard Pie Menus 8 by DonHopkins | 1 comments GuitarPie: Using the Fretboard of an Electric Guitar for Audio-Based Pie Menu Interaction (ACM UIST 2025) - Frank Heyen, Marius Labudda, Michael Sedlmair, Andreas Fender Nowadays, electric guitars are often used together with digital interfaces. For instance, tablature applications can support guitar practice by rendering and playing back the tabs of individual instrument tracks of a song (guitar, drums, etc.). However, those interfaces are typically controlled via mouse and keyboard or via touch input. This means that controlling and configuring playback during practice can lead to high switching costs, as learners often need to switch between playing and interface control. In this paper, we explore the use of audio input from an unmodified electric guitar to enable interface control without letting go of the guitar. We present GuitarPie, an audio-based pie menu interaction method. GuitarPie utilizes the grid...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Haystack – Review pull requests like you wrote them yourself

Show HN: Haystack – Review pull requests like you wrote them yourself 6 by akshaysg | 0 comments Hi HN! We’re Akshay and Jake. We put together a tool called Haystack to make pull requests straightforward to read. What Haystack does: -- Builds a clear narrative. Changes in Haystack aren’t just arranged as unordered diffs. Instead, they unfold in a logical order, each paired with an explanation in plain, precise language -- Focuses attention where it counts. Routine plumbing and refactors are put into skimmable sections so you can spend your time on design and correctness -- Provides full cross-file context. Every new or changed function/variable is traced across the codebase, showing how it’s used beyond the immediate diff Here’s a quick demo: https://youtu.be/w5Lq5wBUS-I If you’d like to give it a spin, head over to haystackeditor.com/review! We set up some demo PRs that you should be able to understand and review even if you’ve never seen the repos before! We used to work at big comp...
