Products that do what Mesh – A well engineered SDK for building Cardano blockchain apps does
Hi HN! I've been working on Mesh, and I think it is time to it with you guys. Building on Cardano is difficult, because it lacks documentations and proper SDKs. This is where Mesh fills in this gap. With those beginner guides, is incredibly easy to get started, removing the pain of getting the simplest things to work. It is well engineered, the cloest "competitor" package size is over 10MB, while Mesh is less than 300KB, thus its light weight and your dApp will run fast. It is well documented and flexible, so you can build any dApp you can imagine. From the way the code is written to the way…

Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…

Dear HN, As a long-standing member of this community (2007!), I'm really pleased to announce the launch of the Saito project here. http://saito.tech Since you probably haven't heard of us, Saito is a terabyte-level blockchain designed to support email, social networks, payment channels, distributed forums, and other big-data applications directly on-chain. We achieve scale for this by solving the fundamental economic problems with the proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms. If you look into the network design, we think we'll blow your mind! Anyway, we've been reading…

Ladies (calling all Bitcoin women!) & Gents, we introduce our cloud-optimized, complete Bitcoin node built from the ground-up for scalability and reliability. Bitcoin is one of the coolest innovations and we laud the Bitcoin core team. We want to help the Bitcoin ecosystem grow and mature: we are focusing on infrastructure to make it easy for developers to build and scale Bitcoin apps. Our approach allows us to expand to a wide array of unique crypto-currency services. Check us out on www.blockcypher.com and see our documentation…

Hi HN, blockchain3d.info (http://blockchain3d.info) is a free 3D and VR Bitcoin Blockchain browser available for Windows, Android (with Google Cardboard for Virtual Reality), Linux and MacOS. The tool lets you enter a starting address or transaction, then navigate the Bitcoin network as far as you like (or as your hardware will allow, performance wise) to see inflows and outflows, all in 3D (or VR with Cardboard). Would love to hear feedback from HN folks!

Hey all, I'm a product designer and I built this cause' when I was designing liquidity pool and staking features for this DAO, I didn't know how the user flow worked and how the UI looked for similar pages, so I was constantly switching back and forth Balancer, Uniswap, and OlympusDAO as references. I thought that I might not be the only one with this problem, so I built this library of userflow screenshots, and annotated them, to share with the web3 community of builders, designers, and developers. Would love feedback if you're a builder in web3, let's connect too! (Also I'm aware that…

Hi HN! I've been hacking on this side project for the last month or two with the goal of making it dead simple to use cloud GPUs. I ran into this problem personally during the phd, and built my own tooling around it. I always thought it'd be fun to try to turn that tooling into a more general product... and bitbop.io is the result! All you have to do is run `ssh bitbop.io`, and you get your own personal dev GPU workstation in the cloud. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!

Hi HN, Alexey from Chainstack here. We built Chainstack Self-Hosted to package everything we’ve learned from 8+ years of running blockchain nodes into a single control panel. The goal we’re building this product around is to make blockchain infrastructure boring to operate. The software is free to install. You only pay for the infrastructure you run it on. The quickest way to get hands-on with it is through the Vultr Marketplace or one of the other providers listed in the docs. The current release supports Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi with Reth + Prysm full nodes. We’ll be adding…

Hey HN My name is Johannes and I'm the co-founder of NFTPort (https://nftport.xyz/), which is the Stripe for NFTs - a one-stop, simple and developer-friendly NFT infrastructure & APIs which enables developers to bring their NFT applications to market in hours instead of months. I've always wanted to build NFT & blockchain applications but for a long-time I was held back by its sheer complexity. That's why we decided to build the most simplest NFT creation (i.e. minting) API for developers:…

I built vr.dev as a lightweight network for people in the VR, XR, and AR development community to showcase demos, promote themselves, and find collaborators. It’s early, but usable for portfolios and discovery. Example profile: https://vr.dev/erik What’s live now: - Profiles with vr.dev/[username] URLs - Showcase a .glTF file - Resume/experience with industry-specific signals What’s coming: - Options for more showcases and supported asset types - Advanced searching on experience and skills - Closer integration with GitHub - Better discovery I’d love feedback on what…

Abstract. Token-funded bounties to incentivize competition-style participation in blockchain development projects would result in wider and better allocation of investment, and allow investors to diversify exposure across a field of potentially successful projects. Overall this would increase the rate of progress within development of the blockchain space. We propose a centralised platform for the administration of token-funded bounty driven development projects whereby experts allocate pools of invested capital according to the technical merits of development projects, and investors are…

Hi there, looking for feedback on my new project "Featherless.AI" The idea is to allow users to run all the models on hugging face instantly. Via the OpenAI API compatible endpoint. Why? Because its a real chore to download models and spin up GPUs, especially if you want to test multiple models. Not to mention GPUs cost multiple dollars an hour to rent. And if we want more people to use open source AI, we got to make it easier for them to try and play with all of them. So what if instead of spinning up dedicated GPUs per model (which is what every provider is doing) We can startup a LLM…

Democratisation of local AI is key. I've been working on pushing the limits of commercial hardware, squeezing any extra bit possible. My Scientific Agentic AI hareness helped me to reallocate every single bit of it. I rewrote the Kernel, I went down the CUDA rabbit hole until I have been able to explain any bit and any ms of computational power involved in the process pushing the Qwen 30B-A3B from 8 tok7s to 19 tok/s with llama.cpp up to 22.2 tok/s with my project and 109 tok/s on not novel content and speeding up the prefill by 5-9X
