I created this a year or so ago but recently made updates and I thought people might like to know that it exists. I made this to easily send links or text to someone else verbally, like over the phone or over voice chat (which is what I made it for). The goal is to be able to tell the link to someone else without being ambiguous or needing to spell it out, so I grabbed the words off a Grade 5 level dictionary. I understand that the domain itself doesn’t qualify but I’m trying to get a better domain.

I've made an open-source microframework for creating command-line (CLI) applications in the Zig programming language. It's called Chilli, and it currently provides the following features: - A declarative API for defining nested commands, flags, and positional arguments. - Type-safe parsing of arguments from the command line and environment variables. - Automatic generation of formatted `--help` and `--version` output. - Support for command aliases, persistent flags, and other common CLI patterns. You can find the project on GitHub: https://github.com/habedi/chilli

GitHub: https://github.com/mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a general-purpose high-level language from the 1960s. PuffinBASIC is an implementation of the BASIC language specification. PuffinBASIC conforms most closely to GWBASIC. The purpose of this implementation is to learn how to write interpreters and resurrect an old programming language to work in modern ecosystem. The interpreter is evolving fast and in near future, I wish to apply modern interpreter building techniques to it. How it works? 1. PuffinBASIC's…

Hey HN, I wanted to build something real in Zig, and I was annoyed that Postman needed an account and an internet connection just to send a GET request. So I figured I'd make something I would actually use. It kind of snowballed from there. 50,000+ lines later, it does requests, test assertions, collections, environments, CI/CD reports, import/export, and has a browser-based Web UI (`volt ui`). All in a single binary with zero external dependencies. Some numbers: - Binary size: ~4 MB (Postman: ~500 MB) - Startup: 42ms (Postman: 3-8 seconds) - RAM idle: ~5 MB (Postman: 300-800 MB) -…

Release 1.8.2 of wazero, the zero dependency WebAssembly runtime for Go, brings the amd64 compiler to 4 new OSes: NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, illumos and Solaris. The compiler also supports Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows, on amd64 and arm64. This didn't require any changes to the compiler, just enabling it after setting up tests to validate that it already worked. Now the HN hook: noticeably absent is OpenBSD, which I failed to get working, even after taking W^X into account (we already had that for arm64 on macOS). If you wanna help, please drop us a note!

Hi HN, we’re Dylan and Matthew, building sublingual (https://github.com/sublingual-ai/sublingual), an open-source LLM observability tool you can use with zero code changes. As developers focused on iterating and building features as fast as possible, we felt observability would’ve been a helpful tool to have, but we found existing solutions had too much overhead to set up. So we gave ourselves the challenge of building an observability tool that you can integrate without changing a single line of code in your project. How it works Run your python application as usual with…

Hi HN, I've been building CH-UI, an open-source ClickHouse workspace. Today I'm releasing v2, which is a complete rewrite from scratch. v1 was a React SPA served via Docker. v2 is a single Go binary with an embedded Svelte frontend — download, run, open browser. No Docker, no Node, no runtime dependencies. What it does: - Multi-tab SQL editor with autocomplete - Database/table explorer with data preview - Saved queries - Tunnel architecture: run `ch-ui server` on one machine and `ch-ui connect` next to your ClickHouse — secure WebSocket tunnel, no VPN needed - Self-update (`ch-ui…

If you've debugged a null pointer exception on a Flipper Zero, you know the pain - the device crashes, you reflash, add print statements, repeat. Memory bugs in embedded C are brutal because they only surface at runtime on the actual hardware. This template lets you write Flipper Zero applications in Zig, giving you: - Memory safety and compile-time error checking - Bounds-checked arrays and explicit error handling - Clean build system that works cross-platform - Integration with UFBT for packaging and deployment - No special IDE required - just Zig, UFBT, and your editor The interesting…

Hi everyone, I've made a new experimental Lisp dialect (named "Element 0"). It comes with an interpreter written in Zig and a small standard library. The project is open source, and feedback is welcome. Project's GitHub repo: https://github.com/habedi/element-0

Hello HN, I've been working solo on Octelium for the past 5+ years now, (yes, you just read that correctly :|) along with a couple more sub-projects that will hopefully be released soon and I'd love to get some honest opinions from you. Octelium is simply an open source, self-hosted, unified platform for zero trust resource access that is primarily meant to be a modern alternative to corporate VPNs and remote access tools. It is built to be generic enough to not only operate as a ZTNA/BeyondCorp platform (i.e. alternative to Cloudflare Zero Trust, Google BeyondCorp, Zscaler Private…

Hey HN, We’re excited to announce Zant v0.1, an open-source TinyML SDK built in Zig, designed to optimize and deploy neural networks on resource-constrained devices. Unlike existing solutions, Zant focuses on performance, portability, and ease of integration, making it a strong alternative for anyone working on Edge AI and embedded ML. Why Zant? Most TinyML frameworks are either too high-level (requiring bloated runtimes) or too low-level (requiring extensive manual optimization). Zant bridges the gap by offering: - A lightweight but powerful code generation system to translate ML models…
