Hello everyone! I've created a gameboy emulator to unlock my Wayland session and wanted to share this project to everyone here! I've been a Linux enthusiast since I was a kid. What always captivated me was the freedom to customize my system exactly the way I wanted. With Wayland, we've reached an incredible level of performance. It's like turning your operating system into a video game! I've always been fascinated by the blend of fun and the serious, technical nature of an OS. That’s what inspired me to create this project. I started by studying Wayland, its protocol and how to build a…

QWANJI▲174Hey HN! I've built this bit of cuteware (software not solving a problem but just for fun) inspired from the patterns made by swipe typing on mobile devices. To me it seemed like the closest thing to an English version of Kanji and it would be cool to consistently recreate those patterns. The implementation is vanilla js to keep things simple (and from a bit of framework fatigue) I'm keen to see how people use qwanji. Any and all feedback welcome!

I vibe-coded a speech-to-text tool for Wayland that works for me. You trigger it with a keybind, speak into your mic, and it transcribes using OpenAI Whisper or Google STT (local is coming), then either types it directly into your active text field or saves it to the clipboard. It uses PipeWire for audio capture and works signal-driven, so there's no background process running. Just on-demand transcription when you need it. I've tested it on Niri and it should work on Hyprland, though I haven't tested GNOME or KDE yet. This was a one day Rust project and probably has some bugs since I just…

wk provides users with a portable and flexible interface for managing their key chord mappings. Key chords can be built directly into the binary, read from "wks" script files, or even piped in from stdin with the same wks syntax. There is also a wks-mode package for Emacs (https://github.com/3L0C/wks-mode). I appreciate any feedback you might have about the project and hope you find it useful.

I built Hyprvoice, a small tool that lets you type with your voice on Wayland — no X11, no kludgy bridges. Press a key, talk, and your words appear wherever your cursor is. It’s written in Go, uses PipeWire for audio, and talks directly to the compositor. The workflow is simple: press key → start recording press again → stop and inject text Notifications show recording/transcribing states, and it works with multiple backends — currently OpenAI Whisper, with whisper.cpp (local/offline) in progress. Everything runs through a lightweight daemon with IPC over a unix socket. Text…

This toy retro synth installs and runs on esp32-s3 or p4 as an ELF file under BreezyBox firmware. It uses my work-in-progress immediate mode TUI library in C. Web-based version via emscripten: https://mini000.itch.io/beeper Source code: https://github.com/valdanylchuk/beeper Demo video running on Tanmatsu (esp32-p4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCH9XYZ7QB0 The main challenge I was going for was actually to find a nice minimal set of controls for a subtractive synth. Usually there are 40-50 of them in "simple" synths; I ended up with 16.…

I thought cookie clicker but with yubikey taps might be funny, and this is a proof of concept. Cloudflare did something similar in 2021, pitching yubikey-proven taps as a captcha replacement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27141593 Cloudflare's idea of proving personhood with yubikey taps wasn't well received at the time. But here for a silly game, I think the idea holds up better. We can prove that you have a key, and serially tapped it a lot. If you automate activating the touch sensor on a physical key, you might be able to do a bit better. That's cool and you deserve…

A while ago I started this side project to test if I could build a rich User Interface that would have about the same level of responsiveness than a "SPA-like" app, but using only htmx[1]... I still have plenty of stuff in my roadmap, but today it's in a playable state and I thought it could be interesting to share it - as it may be a nice demonstration of a relatively rich user interface powered by htmx :-) --> https://zakuchess.com As for the stack: it's built mostly with Django, htmx and Tailwind CSS. It uses a SQLite database, and is hosted (for free) at Fly. The characters'…

Launch day is here! This has been my passion project, to recreate Duolingo for chess! I always thought Duolingo had amazing "hooks" to help people learn new languages, so I implemented its spaced-repetition, reports and daily and weekly training reminders in a Chess learning platform for chess improvers! I built it in Meteor.js and React.js. I chose Meteor to be able to add Cordova in the future. The Caro-Kann course (for white) is completely free, if you guys want to try it. What do you folks think?

Put this together this afternoon. I've been after something to quickly jot down the odd piece of information that I can access later in the day when browsing the web. Hopefully you find it useful. Criticism/thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated. I should add, since all the hard work here lies in the work of others here — garlic.js is a great plugin for handling localstorage. Cheers Jason
