Hi HN! I made Beatsync, an open-source browser-based audio player that syncs audio with millisecond-level accuracy across many devices. Try it live right now: https://www.beatsync.gg/ The idea is that with no additional hardware, you can turn any group of devices into a full surround sound system. MacBook speakers are particularly good. Inspired by Network Time Protocol (NTP), I do clock synchronization over websockets and use the Web Audio API to keep audio latency under a few ms. You can also drag devices around a virtual grid to simulate spatial audio — it changes the…

Hey HN, I want to share with you something I and my four colleagues have been working on for the last several years. It’s a whiteboarding and notes tool called Muse[1]. We just released a 2.0 version which includes local-first sync. A little backstory: I’m one of the authors of the 2019 essay Local-first software[2]. (Past HN discussions[3][4].) The thesis is to reclaim some of the ownership over our data that we’ve lost in the transition from filesystems to cloud/SaaS. So I’m excited to bring CRDT technology “out of the lab” and into a commercial product as a chance to prove the value…

Hi guys, I'm sharing something I've been tinkering on for a while: https://signagesync.app/ Like Google Chromecast, but "cast" to multiple screens at once.

Also works with local network, e.g. http://192.168.../sales-dashboard It's still early (MVP), but already usable—and I'd love to hear your feedback. Tech stack: SvelteKit, WebSocket, Flutter (desktop)

i made this for my niece for her 3rd birthday. it was inspired by this reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIE2O59Svcz/?igsh=MXNnbmJsZWR.... the main difference (i believe) is that this is entirely self-contained and does not require integrating with a smart home system. the bulb connects directly to a wifi network on the nanoc6, and the nanoc6 posts commands directly to the tasmota command endpoint on the smart bulb. this was a lot of fun to build :)
