24 alternatives to I built an HTML5 RTL-SDR application
There are lots of RTL-SDR applications, but you have to install them. I used the HTML5 USB API that exists in Chrome (did you know about it?) to build one that you can run straight from your browser, on your computer or your Android phone.
This is a browser-based RTL-SDR application that runs directly in Chrome without installation, on both computers and Android phones. It leverages the HTML5 USB API to let users operate software-defined radio… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I built an HTML5 RTL-SDR application launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

I was sick of losing the Telemundo signal during World Cup, so I built a Web App that uses a local RTL-SDR dongle to analyze the HDTV signal and help you point your antenna... GOAAALLLL!

ADB Wrench▲93Hey HN, We built ADBWrench – a browser-based ADB tool that connects to Android devices via WebUSB. No SDK install, no drivers, no PATH config. Just plug in and debug. The problem: Every Android dev knows the friction of setting up adb. Install platform-tools, fight with USB drivers (especially on Windows), hope `adb devices` shows something. Then remember the exact syntax for that one command you need. ADBWrench runs entirely in the browser. Open the URL, grant USB permission, done. The interesting part: There's an AI assistant built in. Describe what you want to do in plain English – "show…

Hello all, This is my second year of working on a project[1] with the goal of browsing the web, on an Android smartphone, without reliance on Wi-Fi or mobile data. While this concept might seem aimless, my goal was to provide a way for people in areas with limited, expensive, or censored cellular internet access a way to view the web in a basic format. I finished work on a basic client-server model last year[2], and this year, I implemented a new pseudo-distributed peer-to-peer model that allows any TxtNet Browser user to use their own smartphone to run a background server service that…

"Game" is a stretch, but I put together this repo containing a pure Rust app which uses SDL2 and compiles to WASM (and can be run in a browser). Older resources were a bit out of date and a bit too verbose for my purposes, so here's a minimal working example.

I built a software-defined radio transmission platform that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It spawns its own WiFi hotspot and serves a web UI — connect from any device and you have a portable RF signal generator with 12 transmission modes: FM broadcasting with RDS, FT8, RTTY, FSK, POCSAG paging, Morse code, SSTV image transmission, voice cloning via live mic, spectrum painting, IQ replay, carrier wave, and frequency sweeps. Everything runs through a browser interface. Upload audio files, type messages, configure frequencies, and transmit. The Pi's GPIO pin does the actual RF generation via…

Introducing Dashwave Public Beta! Hello, I am Supratik Das, Co-founder, and CTO at Dashwave. I am thrilled to announce the launch of Dashwave, a powerful cloud build and emulation tool for fast and collaborative Android development. It supports all major Android languages/frameworks: Java, Kotlin, React Native and Flutter. Why Dashwave? - The Problem Android developers often struggle with insanely long build times and resource-intensive emulation sessions. They work in close collaboration with product stakeholders and rely on WIP feedback. Since builds, and feedback are slow, this leads…

Hi HN, I've been building Mystral Native — a lightweight native runtime that lets you write games in JavaScript/TypeScript using standard Web APIs (WebGPU, Canvas 2D, Web Audio, fetch) and run them as standalone desktop apps. Think "Electron for games" but without Chromium. Or a JS runtime like Node, Deno, or Bun but optimized for WebGPU (and bundling a window / event system using SDL3). Why: I originally started by starting a new game engine in WebGPU, and I loved the iteration loop of writing Typescript & instantly seeing the changes in the browser with hot reloading. After…
