Electrobun is still zig and doubling down on it

Better in every way

They want us to believe Mythos was so bad it kept shipping segfaults for the last 6 months. And also that it’s capable and trustworthy enough to rewrite the whole runtime in anothe…

That explains the massive rise in segfaults since they got acquired. It’s approaching being as buggy as claude code which I’ve had to stop using even though I have 6 months free of…

Yes he said multiple times including to me yesterday that humans won’t code review as a matter of practice going forward.

Hi. Electrobun creator here. I am building a new JS runtime called cottontail. It’s just a prototype now but the goal is to have a huge standard library powered by native zig such …

The video demos are wild, but also how many people are already shipping apps with Electrobun.

Hey HN, Electrobun creator here. Thanks for posting this. We just hit v1 - stable which means I've locked down the architecture. If you run into any bugs or need specific apis that…

I vibe coded this text to speech app in an hour last weekend. It uses the new open weight Qwen models so it's fully local. Supports both instruct and voice cloning. And since it's …

Electrobun is now v1 stable. Ship full cross platform desktop apps in a few MB, ship often with diff updates as small as 14KB.

Fun marketing experiment, but you basically implemented ralph wiggum in the cloud. Claude code locally in a vm and/or with work trees will 1 shot far better without burning cloud i…

Are you kidding me? I heard there’s a whole entire planet of Mercury and it’s right next to the biggest fusion reactor in our solar system. We just have to figure out how to nudge …

You make some very good points but I would argue that many if not all the people you observe “without introspection” have enough to know they’re getting dummer but they don’t care …

I have been giving it about the same amount of context as a large github/jira/whatever issue. But i’m giving it a goal with a fairly distant milestone where it needs to hit 5-10 sm…

I installed claude code (an agentic ai that runs on your machine and can browse and edit code, run the build, and use unix commands) This has largely taken me out of the loop. I gi…

Maybe that’s because the AI pushers are compensating for already not being as good. What happens when other yous start using ai. I suspect they will obv outperform you just in shee…

I’m building Electrobun ( https://github.com/blackboardsh/electrobun ) It’s an alternative to Electron/Tauri that uses Bun. It has a bsdiff based update mechanism that lets you shi…

I don’t want to be _that_ guy but I want this for zig instead of rust.

I’m using bun for the main process. Bun runs a zig binary which can call objc/c methods. So the “main native application thread” is technically the zig process. Then there’s all ki…

https://www.eggbun.sh/ is built with Electrobun.

Hey hn! Author here: Thanks to whoever submitted. Electrobun is in the very early stages. The roadmap is a bit out of date. Here are some highlights: - it’s like Tauri in that it u…

The number 1 request I get from people is to add the ability to optionally bundle chromium. I personally prefer the system webview because you don’t have to rush update your app fo…
