   I built a tool to help you read Hacker News on Kindle▲393

   Hi HN, I'm Daniel Nguyen. In June, I quit my job to start indie hacking full-time. The idea of KTool first came to my mind when I was reading "Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?"[0] I've been wearing glasses since I was 5. My right eye is basically blind. Doctors said there is no chance to cure it. I was genuinely scared. Like holy shit, if my left eye stops working, my life is done. Since then I've been very conscious about time spent on computer screens. That's when I started using Kindle-related products: to offload as many reading materials as possible to…

    My WHOOP has no screen. My Kindle had no job. So I put them together▲11

    I run a lot, so every morning I check my recovery and decide whether to run or take a rest day. I wanted an always-on screen that would let me see everything at a glance. Then I remembered the old Kindle collecting dust in the corner. So I built this: WHOOP API → a server on my Mac mini → grayscale PNG → Kindle screensaver. It’s now open source, including the full setup guide.

    PlutoPrint – Generate PDFs and PNGs from HTML with Python▲161

    Hi everyone, I built PlutoPrint because I needed a simple way to generate beautiful PDFs and images directly from HTML with Python. Most of the tools I tried felt heavy, tricky to set up, or produced results that didn’t look great, so I wanted something lightweight, modern, and fast. PlutoPrint is built on top of PlutoBook’s rendering engine, which is designed for paged media, and then wrapped with a Python API that makes it easy to turn HTML or XML into crisp PDFs and PNGs. I’ve used it for things like invoices, reports, tickets, and even snapshots, and it can also integrate with Matplotlib…
