    I built GhostHub because I was tired of Plex/Jellyfin setups just to watch or share a few files. This lets you: - Run instantly (Python script, .exe, or Docker) - Browse media in a swipe-based UI (mobile + desktop) - Share online with built-in tunnel support (Cloudflare or Pinggy) - Set session passwords, live sync views, and even chat No logins. No setup. Just run it, point it to a folder, and go. Live demo (limited features): https://ghosthub.net Would love feedback, bug reports, or ideas!

    Hi HN, I’m Daniel. I built Trust Vault. It’s a desktop open source app for protecting sensitive files using passwords, 256-bit master tokens, Shamir’s Secret Sharing, and HMAC integrity verification. We also built an Obsidian plugin. I’d appreciate feedback on the security model, UX, and potential use cases.

    Here's something I realized: the most AI-native knowledge base isn't a SaaS product with an API. It's a folder of markdown files on your disk. Obsidian stores everything as plain .md files. That means Claude Code (or any AI tool) can grep, read, write, and traverse your entire knowledge base with zero setup. No API keys. No OAuth. No middleware. Just local file I/O. The only missing piece was sync. I wanted my vault on iPhone (iCloud), on Mac (local), and on GitHub (backup + version history) — without paying $4/mo for Obsidian Sync. cc-md is ~400 lines of bash. iCloud handles Apple…
