Products that do what Phoenix – a lightweight OS X window manager scriptable with JavaScript does
I just released Phoenix 2.0! I took over the project this summer and rewrote it from the ground up. :) Phoenix is a lightweight OS X window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript. You can also easily use languages which compile to JavaScript such as CoffeeScript. Phoenix aims for efficiency and a very small footprint. If you like the idea of scripting your own window or app management toolkit with JavaScript, Phoenix is probably going to give you the things you want. With Phoenix you can bind keyboard shortcuts and system events, and use these to interact with OS X. Take a look!…

Hi HN — I built Aurora-OS.js, a lightweight, embeddable OS-style desktop UI written in plain JavaScript. It’s intended for demos, in-browser desktop experiences, and learning OS/desktop concepts without a heavy framework. The future of this project is a fully playable hacking simulator to be released on Steam and other marketplaces. Contributors & testers wanted!

Hi everyone, I'm working for a startup called BugFree Software and would love to hear your feedback on a new product we are launching today. Helium is a library that wraps around Selenium to simplify web automation. It does away with many of the technicalities involved with web scripting. For example: Here is a Selenium script. Can you guess what it does? >>> ff = Firefox() ... >>> text_area = ff.find_element_by_id("u_0_1q") >>> text_area.send_keys("Hello World!") >>> button = ff.find_element_by_class_name("_42g-") >>> button.click() Here is the same script rewritten using Helium: >>>…

Hey HN! I've been working on https://kichan.ai, a Chrome extension that lets you modify any website using prompts. It uses Google Gemini to generate JavaScript that runs directly on your browser web page. How it works: Click the extension to open a side panel. Type what you want to do like "Remove all ads", "Add a share button", or "Make this table sortable". KICHAN generates JavaScript using Gemini 2.5 Flash and executes it immediately. Your custom scripts are saved and can run automatically on specific websites. Key features include context-aware generation where you can…

For the past few months, I've poured all my energy into building something I'm incredibly passionate about: SamwiseOS, a completely in-browser, AI-first operating system. What is it? SamwiseOS is a persistent, single-page web app that looks and feels like a real operating system, complete with a terminal, a robust virtual filesystem (that saves to your browser's IndexedDB), user/group management, and even graphical applications. The twist? The entire core logic—filesystem, command execution, user management, everything—runs on a Python kernel powered by Pyodide (WebAssembly). The JS…

As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! Key features: - Uses Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model) - Works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no…
