Products that do what Use-Fs – A React Hook for the File System Access API and OPFS does
I'm happy to say that https://use-fs.com 2.0 has been released with brand new OPFS support. If you're building browser-based apps that heavily interact with the file-system this package is a must to have in your package.json! A React hook that watches a directory and re-renders when a file is added, changed, or deleted. Point it at a folder the user picked and you're reading and writing their real files — no uploads, no endless file dialogs New in 2.0: it watches the origin private file system too. No picker, no permission prompt, no user gesture — and, unlike File System API, it…

Hi HN I built *fluent-state*, a lightweight React hook that replaces useState, useReducer, useMemo, and useEffect. It gives you: - A fluent, proxy-based API: `state.user.name('Joe')` - Immutable updates without spread logic - Automatic dependency tracking - Built-in `compute` for reactive, memoized derived state (no useMemo needed) - Built-in `effect` for reactive side-effects with automatic dependency tracking (no useEffect needed) - Zero boilerplate, full control Designed for local state, nested structures, and clean, declarative code. Demo:…

with affinity you can make multiple apps (components eventually) and store (ala redux) - while a store can be shared through apps. This started as a case study and as a small reusable code for creating self contained dom elements with functionality - during the time of development, ideas and inspiration came from angular, react and vuejs. suggestions and feedback is mostly welcomed. The interesting challenges were finding ways for these topics: 1. create a component lib using dom and js only, without any 3rd party . 2. producing semantic html in dom . 3. allow template micro syntax (using…

Hi! My name is David and I wanted to show you a react (and solidjs) library I've built over the last months. The intention behind it is, that there are some actually useful use cases for AI on the frontend that are largely unexploited still. LLMs are particularly good at extracting structured information from unstructured text and thats really useful for any types of forms - which can be multimodal. Setting up server side logic for AI usage can take time. Streaming data to the frontend and parsing it there to make it usable can be frustrating. Imho thats one of the reasons why people…

Hi there HN! I'm Matthias and I've been into video streaming for quite a while now. Over the years I've built plenty of small setups, often CLI tools to test and debug streaming video. About a month ago, during my annual holiday, I started working on a simple API on top of my CLI tools. It's time consuming to craft and run multiple ffmpeg jobs, get GOP / keyframes right, merge playlists, package to HLS, ... One thing led to another and I eventually started exploring HLS interstitials, VMAP / VAST and dynamic ad insertion, MSE / EME (HLS.js in general), React (perf) as a player…

Hi HN, fzfm is a small Bash utility I wrote that turns fzf into a terminal file navigator with fuzzy search and preview support. It’s fast, zero-setup, and works entirely from the command line. Core features: - Navigate directories and fuzzy-search files - Preview file contents with bat (fallback to cat) - Preview directories with eza (fallback to ls) - Open files in your editor or viewer (configurable) - Easily customizable via environment variables It’s designed as a quick, keyboard-driven way to browse and inspect files. I use it daily and thought others might find it useful too. GitHub:…

Hi HF, I'm Terrell, and we built an open-source app that lets developers create their own Operator with a Next.js/React front-end and a flask back-end. The purpose is to simplify spinning up virtual desktops (Xfce, VNC) and automate desktop-based interactions using computer use models like OpenAI’s There are already various cool tools out there that allow you to build your own operator-like experience but they usually only automate web browser actions, or aren’t open sourced/cost a lot to get started. Spongecake allows you to automate desktop-based interactions, and is fully open…
