MITM on Android Emulator to capture which 3rd party IP/URLs apps talk to:

MITM + Waydroid doc: https://github.com/ddxv/mobile-network-traffic

Actual scraper (look in adscrawler/apks/waydroid.py): https://github.com/ddxv/adscrawler

Final product of reporting for which apps talk to which country / companies will go on: https://appgoblin.info

I’ve been building an Elixir app to poll RSS feeds and pipe new entries to Discord.

Performance is rock solid, and it’s almost ready to release, I just need to tweak a few things (like free trial with no CC).

I have a very long to do list, and ultimately want to extend it with “change detection”, e.g. notify when an HTML element on a website changes.

All feedback is welcome

For the last months I've been working primarily on building a UI framework for Go in Go via WebASM.

Had to implement the bindings first, because js.Value kind of sucks. Meanwhile I am building web components and widgets and it's slowly getting where I want it to be.

Maybe after a couple more weeks I can finally build apps in 100% Go and together with webview/webview. Still needs a lot of work around the edges here and there.

Cool, could also check out a unified App platform framework:

Did a Show HN about a month ago, but we're hard at work building dédédé [1] - it's a not-for-profit website that invites people to casually share the "good, bad, and why"s of urban spaces.

We're based in Kyoto and the posts are heavily Japan-centric; we'd love to see posts from all over the world!

I’m building ninja.ai — it looks like a one-click App Store for MCP Servers, but the real goal is much bigger: creating a “Universal Fabric of Context” that lets AI tools tap into structured information across the web easily.

It started when I found it surprisingly hard for my partner to install and connect MCP Servers — even simple ones. I realised if we want AI agents to really interact with the web, it needs to be as easy as installing an app.

Right now, you can browse, install, and connect servers in one click. Over time, it’ll make AI integrations as easy as installing an app — no messy APIs, no custom scraping.

If you’re working with AI models, agents, or data-heavy tools, I’d love to hear what kinds of “context pipes” you’d want to see added.

I have been working on http://phrasing.app - a language learning & acquisition tool for polyglots. I’ve been using it to study ~12 languages (5 on maintaince, 2 seriously studying, 5 casually “studying”) and it’s starting to feel really good. If anyone is learning/maintaining several languages, please reach out! I’m looking for beta testers in as many languages as possible (it supports 120+). In what I believe is sti…

Sounds good.

What languages do you support?

Learning Latvian through Anki flashcards, but it's not well supported by the main platforms, and there's not a huge amount of content out there for learning.

This alongside a couple of the usual suspects.

As a side note, on a Pixel 4a 5G (old phone , but functionally not ready for e-waste) the homepage bleeds all over. Some components into each other, others off screen. Might want to check that.
