Hacker News on Your Wall — 32" e-ink screen with generated art based on tech headlines

Some background on the backend for those who are interested. It's built on Laravel and hosted in a Google Cloud Run container and has the following workflow for content aggregation and presentation: Step 1: Every four hours, our scheduler fetches the top stories from Hacker News. Step 2: For the top story, we combine the title of the post with a specific prompt ("high-contrast black-and-white digital illustration suitable for an eInk display, digital art, trending on ArtStation") and pass this to a Google Cloud Function. This function interacts with the Stability AI REST API to generate a base64 encoded image. The result? A stunning visual that's perfect for an E Ink display. Step 3: We then extract the plain text from the story's URL and feed it to the GPT-3.5-turbo-16k model with a system prompt tailored for hacker-centric insights: "Summarize the key points in the following text in max 3 sentences as if you're the author." Step 4: Both the generated image and the summarized metadata are stored separately in a Cloud Storage Bucket. This allows us not only to display them together on screen. Let me know if you have any questions or feature requests!

Ooh this is dope! Remember how back in the day people would frame newspapers for the day a baby was born? I feel like this would be cool for that Art for the day someone is born turned into a canvas or something

cool! Creating art out of hacker news articles. Took a while to figure out it is for an EInk display, was thinking it is printed first. That makes more sense. What about displaying in Apple TV? That would be cool.

Congratulations on debuting Project E Ink on Product Hunt! Transforming Hacker News headlines into AI art every four hours on a 32" screen is a unique way to bring the tech community's pulse right onto your wall. What a serene and innovative concept!
