I released an open source library to remove metadata from images: https://github.com/fasouto/picscrub

Was more complex than I thought. Still missing support for some RAW formats and had to fix some bugs

I also created a website to showcase how it works -> https://picscrub.com/

https://kavla.dev/ It's an infinite canvas that runs SQL. I've been working with data my entire career. I feel like we need to alt+tab so much. What if we just put it all on a canvas? Currently very WIP, but there's a simple titanic demo available! Built with tldraw and duckdb wasm, running on cloudflare durable objects

Love the brutalist style. Are the components all hand-rolled or something off the shelf?

I have been working on "scratch milling"[0] PCB's at home using my vinyl cutter/plotter and a engraving bit.

Inspired by Robin Debreuil his process and videos (see video the article and several forum posts). He is using a CNC but I figured regulating pressure is more important then depth, therefore my experiments with the plotter.

Currently dialing in the pressure/speed and amount of passes on a single layer copper board.

https://radius.to/ - a Meetup.com alternative of sorts - with fairer organiser pricing for smaller groups. I posted a Show HN [1] here a while back, got tons of great feedback, and have been slowly improving it since, with little marketing. Planning a re-launch here soon.

Hello fellow Scot!

I missed this when it was launched and it's very interesting to see your rationale. If you ever want a chat some time get in touch, I'm working on https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/

My ulterior motive is to ask you to add open data feeds for basic group and event listing information to your site - a free and open API and standard formats like ICAL (Just listings information about the next event, not private info like members names). I would never encourage event organisers to use a platform that didn't do this, as then their data is essentially being held hostage and it's hard for them to spread their information around to other places.

I've been working with my wife on Uruky [1] for a couple of months, now. It's a EU-based Kagi [2] alternative (privacy-focused and ad-free search with domain boosting/exclusion rules).

We've been using it with friends and family semi-successfully (hashbangs work for edge cases we're still working on).

It's really difficult to get bigger indexes other than Mojeek and Marginalia to want to work with us and improve the results further, so that's something I've been researching more, lately. EUSP (the new Ecosia/Qwant-effort-related index) has finally replied to me last week, but I'm still waiting on an API key.

If you're interested in trying it for a few days and are a human, reach out with your account number and I'll give you a couple of weeks for free. We're pushing improvements daily.

P. S. It's weird to see this duplicate (posted less than a week ago in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46874385), but this post has a lot more comments!

After 15+ years in web development — now diving into game development with Three.js / React Three Fiber (R3F). Keeping AI usage minimal where possible, but it’s been invaluable for complex geometry and math-heavy problems. Game idea: DroneCraft is a third-person drone exploration game where players scout the world for parts, craft powerful upgrades, and trade strategically to evolve their build. Whats coming: Core me…

Me too with 15+ web dev experience. Always wanted to get into game dev. Your post motivates me. I wish you all the best.

I just released Configmesh this week. It's a macOS app (with CLI companion) for e2e encrypted syncing and backing up of dotfiles and application configurations. You can sync for example stuff from ~/.config/, Application Support, *.plists, and so on, and add config sync to apps that don't support it natively

Fresh off the press
