I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.. - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls. - Mockin…

I love the idea behind MyVisualRoutine as a father with a disabled kiddo, thanks for sharing.

The app is beautiful - much better than I could build - what tech is it using if you don't mind me asking? Is it flutter, react native, something else? Just want to get better at mobile dev.

Working on https://github.com/wiseprobe/patchpal , an open-source agentic coding assistant in Python.

While it's true that the agentic coding assistant space is crowded (Claude Code, Aider, Opencode, Codex, etc.), we needed something supporting both local and cloud models that we could easily modify/extend for custom workflows.

Being able to access the agent through both a terminal and a Python API/REPL has come in handy.

Recent releases includes custom tools, agent skills, and built-in support for Ralph Wiggum loops.

https://beyondwp.io After around 15 years working with clients and helping them wrangle their WordPress sites, I stopped working with WordPress as a primary platform for building sites. A while back I've switched to a more modern stack and have fully abandoned WordPress. Having that background, however, I've come to know (way too well) many of the frustrations and security problems with the WordPress ecosystem. As a…

Gotta say this is pretty cool. Love some of the nostalgia on the homepage.

Personally not a nextjs fan but finding a modern alternative to WP will pay off for many businesses

Very nice, ran well in a VM on my home NAS.

I've always noodled about this marketplace idea where an optimization algorithm could match your interests and a dollar amount you can afford to let you rent/buy artist's music. The optimization would maximize the purchase of the differently valued music(analogus to the weighted knapsack problem but this could have multiple solutions, knapsack is a nice way of thinking about it logically, in reality implementation may be completely different) based only on your interests, like history and dollars u have. I am wondering how might one apply a distributed systems approach without having music pirated and shotgunned all across the internet? Like how would you quickly match a person to all the available music metadata? How would you model for interest matching if the music library is spread out across multiple nodes.

I would imagine a lot of people are ok with paying 5-10$ a month instead of 15-20$ for music they like from a set of artists they like.

https://github.com/jsattler/BetterCapture It's a lightweight screen recorder for macOS that lives in your menu bar. It's built with SwiftUI and ScreenCaptureKit, uses the native Content Picker to select what you record, and supports ProRes 422/4444, HEVC, and H.264 — including alpha channel and HDR. Frame rates from 24 to 120fps. System audio and mic simultaneously. You can also exclude specific things from recording…

Looks really sharp! I've been on the lookout for a new screen cap tool for Mac and this looks great, bookmarked.

I think you can still make the distinction of vibe coded vs using LLM for specific things(like review your code and write tests).

Vibe coding signifies a lack of control over one's own code and generally only if it's to generate ideas or throwaway. The negative connotation that goes with it is appropriate too.

In reality any project that takes 6 months means your have invested a lot of time thinking about the code, in which case LLMs become more useful for the things you care about e.g. maintainability, forcing LLMs to bend to your will, which is like saying: " I know this design is the best so just make this instead of whatever abstraction you think is better".

A simple HN-like web app that indexes security (and security adjacent) write-ups.

Imagine you, as a security researcher (or any other persona in the security field), wanted to see what prior works are available around bypassing v8 sandbox using webasm, or if what’s been done or found targeting deserialization in Go.

Using this web app, you can search the indexed and tagged write ups.

Also adding MCP support to it so your agents can search too.

Hopefully going live soon.

P.S: I said HN-like, but tbh it’s just the UI that looks a bit like HN (I’m not a good designer, so got heavy inspiration from HN listing style), otherwise there’s no other overlap in functionality yet.
