    Show HN: wfb-link, a userspace WiFiBroadcast radio stack for macOS

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on a Rust userspace radio stack for running WFB-style links from macOS using RTL8812AU USB adapters. Full disclosure: I'm a software engineer, but not real…

    Can you help me understand MetalRT a bit more? Based on the name, it sounds like something that's Apple-only (although, Apple basically co-opted the name Metal, which was tradition…

    Show HN: Get a demo video with AI voiceover using DemoFly

    Hi HN, I'm Matt, one of the engineers behind DemoFly! We built DemoFly because we got tired of the gap between building features and showing them to people. Our team has been doing…

    Super interesting. Auth and Payments seem like things you don't want to or can't build yourself. (I'm waiting for the day when I can just use BTC or UDSC for everything.) Have you …

    I do really appreciate you taking the time to drop by and leave a comment. But I'm curious...why do you think building agents is so important vs. building more of the "AI infrastru…

    Appreciate the pep talk, but let’s not pretend infra and developer experience plays can’t scale. GitLab, HashiCorp, and Vercel all "just built better DX for open source" and someho…

    Multiple areas of degradation. Typically, you don't ship a dataset to prod and then never change it. You want the system to continue to learn and improve as new data is available. …

    Oh! Muna looks cool as well! I've just barely glanced at your docs page so far, but I'm definitely going to explore further. One of the biggest issues in the back of our minds is g…

    Great point. I can see how you'd land there. Also a great idea! xD Maybe a better descriptor is "self-sovereign AI?" "Self-hosted AI?"

    I think that enterprises and small businesses alike need stuff like this, regardless of whether they're software companies or some other vertical like healthcare or legal. I worked…

    Right...there are lots of ways you could do that. Most of the ways we've seen enabling that sort of thing tend to be programmatic in nature. That's great for some people, but you h…

    Cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I was really annoyed by the way Google nerfed the maps timeline stuff last year. Obviously this project is way more ambitious than that, but just goe…

    100%. We don't know what's going to happen in the future. Things are evolving so quickly. Hopefully pushing back on centralization now will keep the ecosystem healthier and give de…

    I love what they're doing in expanding the program and such, but the one problem that all "startup tiers" seem to have is that they only last one year. Most startups are not profit…

    Auth0/Okta uses jwt.io to promote themselves, so why shouldn't we do the same? ;-) But this was also more about scratching an itch that we had internally where similar tools didn't…

    Thanks! We have a few improvements to make around copy/paste stuff, array printing, etc. Thanks for the feedback!
