Hey HN! I’m Nikola, and I’m excited to share something I’ve been building: Thoth, a platform designed to help developers improve their typing speed and accuracy with real code snippets. Including daily challenges, ranked mode, global leaderboards and lots of customizability. Whether you're a beginner learning your first language or an experienced coder aiming to stay sharp, Thoth is here to help. If you’re like me, you spend hours coding every day, and typing quickly and accurately makes a huge difference. But the existing typing tools didn’t feel like they were tailored for developers, so I…

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

A few weeks ago I saw a post about someone converting an entire C++ codebase to Rust using AI in under two weeks. That inspired me — if AI can rewrite a whole language stack that fast, I wanted to try building a programming language from scratch with AI assistance. I've also been noticing growing global interest in Korean language and culture, and I wondered: what would a programming language look like if every keyword was in Hangul (the Korean writing system)? Han is the result. It's a statically-typed language written in Rust with a full compiler pipeline (lexer → parser → AST →…

Hey HN, I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools. For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for, - Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode) - Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random - Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff - Development Tools: calc, json…

I built Fresh to challenge the status quo that terminal editing must require a steep learning curve or endless configuration. My goal was to create a fast, resource-efficient TUI editor with the usability and features of a modern GUI editor (like a command palette, mouse support, and LSP integration). Core Philosophy: - Ease-of-Use: Fundamentally non-modal. Prioritizes standard keybindings and a minimal learning curve. - Efficiency: Uses a lazy-loading piece tree to avoid loading huge files into RAM - reads only what's needed for user interactions. Coded in Rust. - Extensibility: Uses…

I built a small Rust CLI game called GitType. It’s a typing practice tool that takes your own Git repository and turns the code inside into typing material. Instead of random words, you type through real functions, comments, and code you’ve written — making practice feel closer to real-world programming. Features: - Works directly in the terminal (no GUI required) - Pulls text from any local Git repo - Tracks WPM and accuracy - Keeps a history of your past runs (so you can see progress over time) - Fun ranking titles based on your score Source and install instructions:…

Hello HN! As a long-time professional Rust developer. I've always been frustrated by the difficulty and "hackiness" of producing bindings to other languages, whether a frontend, an FFI library, etc. Not just in Rust but in any language. After many years of trying existing solutions and trying to make my own, I've finally developed a solution I'm very happy with. RTK (aka Rust Type Kit) allows you to write Lua scripts that perform queries on your code, such as method calls to Axum's `.route`, function definitions, and more, and then receive rich type information including all argument types,…

I don't know Rust. Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that. So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well. I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days. It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.

Hi HN, I made Lingo - the SQLite of semantic search. I'm a self-taught developer and researcher who left school at 16, and I've spent some time exploring a first-principles approach to system design for various frontier problems. In this case it's AI that challenges the 'bigger is better' transformer paradigm. Lingo is the first piece of that research, a high-performance linguistic database designed to run on-device. The full technical overview and manifesto is here: https://medium.com/@robm.antunes/bcd1e9752af6 The paper has been archived on Zenodo with a DOI:…

i always loved looking up the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) when researching a sequence of numbers. so I decided to make a TUI and CLI for it so that I can browse sequences in the terminal. it supports almost all the features on the site (including the OEIS Webcam) and supports graphs, a preview pane, exporting and bookmarks. more features here: https://github.com/hako/oeis-tui?tab=readme-ov-file#features repo: https://github.com/hako/oeis-tui gitHub releases: https://github.com/hako/oeis-tui/releases cargo:…

Hi HN, I'm Matt, CTO at STUDIO HAZE in Seoul. I've wanted to build a programming language for twenty years, ever since Ruby got me wondering what a small language out of Korea might look like. Today I'm opening the repo for the first time, as Topaz v5.2. Topaz reads like Python or TypeScript, runs on a reference interpreter (topaz run), and builds a self-contained native binary by lowering to Rust, then handing off to the Rust toolchain (topaz build). function factorial(n: int) -> int { if n string { return "안녕하세요, {이름}님!" } print(인사하기("토파즈")) // 안녕하세요, 토파즈님! sql, sh, and path…

I personally haven't event used or looked at Rust so I don't have an opinion. So now I'm interested hearing what others think? I think the syntax of Rust isn't very appealing, but that's not a good reason to /not/ look at it. Convince me? :)

I'm an "ideas person" who messes around with AI on a low budget. I got tired of watching my tokens vanish and context windows filling up while agents fumbled around trying to find the right thing. Agents don't flail like they used to with shell tools, but there are still weak/blind spots and back-and-forth episodes — especially when using tools in combination/sequence. So I built "tilth" today. Or rather, AI built it — every line is Opus 4.6. I spent a lot of my precious tokens getting it to "not shit" (at least several of the different vendors' AI overlords assure me it's not…

I'm a software engineer and keyboard enthusiast who wanted custom keycap sets but couldn't find anything I liked. That led me to build Thockfactory, an online keycap configurator that lets anyone design and order their own custom sets. The first version launched back in April 2024, but after feedback and my own experience using it, I realized the shop and configurator needed a complete overhaul. I took down the site completely and have rebuilt almost everything since then, focusing on a better UX and a smoother ordering process. Would appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or ideas. You can…

I am a big fan of Rust since it provides great tooling and allows me to write code with lots of confidence that it will work reliably. But sometimes I hate it, too. It takes more time to write code in Rust and some things are pretty difficult to prop...
