Hey, I’m Dave, the founder of Kontxt.io (https://www.kontxt.io). Engage directly on the web and save, organize, and share highlights and notes. Follow people. Join groups. And search content.

The web layer is like Google-Doc collaboration on the entire web, and it’s connected to a web app that’s like a combo of DropBox to save and organize your findings, and Twitter/Reddit to share and discover bite-sized article highlights with other people. 1.) The Social Web Layer has rich…

    Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.

    Hey HN, I'm Vincent. I built floors.js to bring back social interactions on the web. You paste one script tag. Your pages become isometric 3D rooms. Visitors show up as avatars, see each other, and chat in real-time. Three.js handles the isometric rendering, and a Bun WebSocket server manages presence, rooms and chat. The whole thing runs without touching the host site's DOM or styles beyond its own container. It works on any static site and is also optimised for SPA navigation (clicking on a door lets you navigate to another page). The landing page itself is the live demo, and I'm in the…

    Hello, I am a tech blogger and last year I wanted to have my own website for writing blogs and doing content marketing. Since I love programming, I could have built the site by myself but I wanted to test the no-code solutions, so after spending sometime researching I ended up going with Wordpress. However i found it tedious and for some reasons, hard and slow. Anyways, I tried other platforms like Wix too. Problem then came was I had to share my work on social media platforms to get more readers and also post it on hashnode and Medium. It was becoming time consuming and monotonous process.…

    Hi HN, After spending some time with the new `flux kontext dev` model, I realized its most powerful capabilities aren't immediately obvious. Many people might miss its true potential by just scratching the surface. I went deep and curated a collection of what I think are its most interesting use cases – things like targeted text removal, subtle photo restoration, and creative style transfers. I felt that simply writing about them wasn't enough. The best way to understand the value is to see it and try it for yourself. That's why I built FluxKontextLab (https://fluxkontextlab.com).…
