I (and Claude, codex, etc) have compiled/ran wayland, X11, GNOME, KDE, and Ladybird natively on a jailbroken iPad. Hoping to release more details soon but I have a slop wiki here:

#102I'm working on better UI for my app AutoPTT [1]. It's probably going to look somewhat similar to Discord's settings, except I won't be using Electron. I refuse to use bloated stuff like that, so I'm going to keep using a pure C UI library [2].
Obviously this is going to take a bit more work but at least the resource usage will stay low, which I consider quite important. Especially since gamers are a large portion of the user base.

This is an open source tool to run background coding agents + dev environment in isolated VMs. So far it has allowed me to migrate a majority of long running coding sessions to my homelab to run remotely. I can also run multiple in parallel without worrying about race conditions or my host machine breaking.

#105I've been building WhyNotLog to answer tricky questions using statistics. Example questions include "what gives my dog allergies?" or "what affects my sleep?".
Available at https://whynotlog.com and promo code HACKERNEWS gives access to the pro plan for six months.

#106Telemetry tooling for local Claude/Codex usage so I can analyze old sessions and fill tooling gaps, make sure I'm using the right models for various tasks, update my processes, etc.
I've also replaced Linear with a local sqlite-backed tool, added tooling to speed up code nav, and am building "no-slop", a tool for enforcing architectural guidelines on vibe-coded projects.

#107Scaling Zigpoll[0] to 2M ARR as a solo founder (currently at 1.5 ARR). Each year you double ARR for a business it comes with a whole new set of challenges which are layered on top of the changes in the tech landscape.
Fortunately I think I've been bailed out by agentic coding the last couple months from a product perspective but I think the major gains so far have been due to marketing and exploring alternative growth channels. Even so, keeping momentum is never a given and requires constant output from all angles! Onward...

#108I'm working on a multiplayer RPG https://grimrain.com - calling it an MMO is quite bold, but the gameplay fits that genre. The game server is designed to be self-hostable too, so it's like Valheim meets OSRS
Looks great! As a tenured Runescape player, I like the graphics.

#109I finally decided to put together a Sonos controller with the navigation I wanted and SMAPI servers for the live music archive, and all the grateful dead and phish shows. Thanks Claude! A PWA with tailscale and I have a controller that does what I want and works at home on an S1 system and at the beach on an S2 - seamlessly. Better than the "real" thing as far as I can tell.

#110- https://banksia.bio: I suspect there is a market for private consumer whole genome sequencing services. Think "Mullvad vpn" of sequencing - I shouldn't have to know the identity of the person I am sequencing, and they can be identified with a client number not tied to their PII.
