    Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild! WarpBuild provides fast, secure `x86-64` and `arm64` Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started. We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1]. Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan). The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast…

    Hi HN — I built FlashRecord, a tiny (≈2MB) Python-native CLI tool for screenshots and GIF recordings aimed at developers who want automation-friendly, scriptable screen capture without a GUI. ### What it is - CLI-first and importable (import flashrecord) so you can plug it into scripts, tests, CI pipelines, or docs generation. - Outputs GIFs (and screenshots) with a pure-Pillow/NumPy implementation of a CWAM-inspired compression pipeline (multi-scale saliency, temporal subsampling, adaptive scaling). - Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux), zero-config defaults, and…

    I don't know Rust. Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that. So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well. I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days. It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.

    Hi HN! I run a few Claude Code sessions in parallel and kept cmd-tabbing around just to find out one of them had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. There's a hardware gadget I liked (called SidePulse.io) so before waiting to get my shipment I built the software version instead :D I hope you like it and find it useful as I do!

    I like to use DuckDuckGo-style bangs and snaps, they are fast and efficient shortcuts. However, neither Kagi nor DuckDuckGo resolves them as quickly as I would like and subjectively Google has better search results than DuckDuckGo. After trying a few local alternatives eg. unduck, unduckified, I wasn't satisfied, the ones I tried briefly loaded a page before redirecting causing visible page flickering, still took time to resolve the actual redirect and lacked advanced features (address-bar autocomplete). Flashbang avoids that by handling the redirect in a Service Worker, before the browser…

    I built a small Linux tool to deterministically verify GPU PCIe link health and bandwidth. It reports: - Negotiated PCIe generation and width - Peak Host→Device and Device→Host memcpy bandwidth - Sustained PCIe TX/RX utilization via NVML - A rule-based verdict derived from observable hardware data only This exists because PCIe issues (Gen downgrades, reduced lane width, risers, bifurcation) are often invisible at the application layer and can’t be fixed by kernel tuning or async overlap. Linux-only: it relies on sysfs and PCIe AER exposure that Windows does not provide.

    I've made a tool that could help you develop and distribute your RP2040/RP2350 firmware [1, 2, 3]. While programming these chips can be as simple as copying a file onto a removable drive, I believe this process can be further improved with on-line hosting, verification and versioning features, the ability to update firmware on the go with your smartphone, build system integration, and more. You can also use this tool to learn about electronics engineering topics by exploring existing firmware (you don't need to sign up to do this). [1]…
