I made a hands-free HN reader using speech and face recognition

Speak to navigate the feed; eat doritos to scroll an article

This works in real-time in the browser using a regular laptop webcam

All speech / face recognition is done locally (none of your data is stored)

Tech stack: HN API, mediapipe face landmarks, web speech API

Thanks for checking out my silly web app and I would appreciate any feedback!

this is chaotic genius. Let’s keep the web weird

thank you. I thought of this on a roadtrip and was very keen to start building it when I got home.
