Sup HN, So I got tired of bouncing between Flightradar, MarineTraffic, and Twitter every time something kicked off globally, so I wrote a dashboard to aggregate it all locally. It’s called Shadowbroker. I’ll admit I leaned way too hard into the "movie hacker" aesthetic for the UI, but the actual pipeline underneath is real. It pulls commercial/military ADS-B, the AIS WebSocket stream (about 25,000+ ships), N2YO satellite telemetry, and GDELT conflict data into a single MapLibre instance. Getting this to run without melting my browser was the hardest part. I'm running this on a laptop…

This is a service I've built to provide equirectangular cloud maps of the whole Earth, updated every 3 hours, for free. It's based on infrared and visible light data from EUMETSAT, processed to enhance the clouds and try to reduce the impact of surface temperatures on the final image. I built it because it's surprisingly hard to find these kinds of images in a format that's useful to developers and hobbyists. I was building a 3D ISS tracker and wanted to include live clouds but couldn't find anything good, so I got sidetracked, and here we are.

Hi HN, I’m a junior developer. I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on. The national railway carrier (BDZ) has no public API. They have an official map but the UI is quite dated, often lags, and doesn't show the full route context. I wrote a short write-up about the process here: https://www.pavlinbg.com/posts/bg-train-tracker I know it's still rough around the edges (I'm still working on it), but I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

Hey HN, We built Auglinn to make it easy for anyone to leave notes outdoors and create interactive maps, using AR. You can: - Pin notes or questions from your desktop that appear as AR notes outside, or - Leave notes or questions while exploring outside with AR, and view them later on your map via phone or desktop. My favorite feature: creating maps by dragging and dropping photos from your phone. The story? When I was a kid, my father visited Universal Studios and captured it all on video. When I went there in 2019, I found myself wondering if I was standing in the same spots he had. This…

Hey HN, I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Tried various white noise apps but most are either paid or cluttered with ads. So I built my own. https://whitenoiseforsleeping.rest Features: - Mix 6 nature sounds (rain, thunder, fire, wind, stream, birds) - 7 ambient scene backgrounds - Sleep timer with fade-out - Settings auto-saved to localStorage - No signup, no ads, no tracking Tech stack: React + Vite, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The rain + fire combo works surprisingly well for me - usually fall asleep within 20 minutes now. Would love to hear your feedback or suggestions…
