Hi HN, As a huge manga fan and a translator by training, I've always been in awe of the incredible amount of work that fan translators put in. The process isn't just about translation; it involves manually cleaning the original text from the bubbles, redrawing the background art (inpainting), and then carefully placing the translated text back in (typesetting). It's a true labor of love, but it's incredibly time-consuming. I wondered if modern AI could help automate the most tedious parts of this workflow. So, I built AIFandom. It's a web tool where you upload your manga pages, and it…

Hey HN, This idea came to me after using ChatGPT to translate my i18n files. It worked well, but it was inconvenient having to specify each language I wanted to be output. Not to mention the token usage. So, I built this using transformers.js alongside the Xenova/nllb-200-distilled-600M model to enable in-browser translations. There is no server involved with the translation functionality. The only backend-related code running is authentication to enable a few premium features. Would love to know your thoughts :) Cody

I have just published a paperback and an e-book of the German translation of the Rust book from Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols: Die Programmiersprache Rust https://rust-lernen.de/ The translation itself is available for free on GitHub.

I started this in January and haven't written a line of the compiler myself. Coding agents write every line; I do design and taste. Wado is a Rust-flavored, GC'd language for WebAssembly Component Model. Try it in the browser, and ask me anything!

Hey HN, I made a code editor which is inspired by Xi-editor. It's native GUI and GPU rendered written in Rust. A main feature is remote development support (VSCode like). Also other features like Vim-like modal editing, Tree-sitter for syntax highlighting, built-in LSP support and WASI based plugin system.

Hello, this was a funny idea I had. I knew that you could do crazy things with fonts (like play a video game in one: https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html) but with ligatures, I was thinking about how much could you actually push them? I decided to try making a font that literally translates Chinese characters (with some context-aware rules/replacements for common phrases). Turns out, this experiment took only several minutes to make with Claude Code and works surprisingly well!

Just for fun, I built a language learning tool. It represents Chinese and Japanese as graphs of characters, with connections indicating given characters can form a word. It can also decompose characters to give clues on how they're pronounced, analyzes words to understand which ones are commonly used together, and more. It's fully interactive, supports offline use, generates flashcards, has sentences from humans and from AI, and plenty of other features. Check out the README for details. https://github.com/mreichhoff/HanziGraph

Hey HN! I really like local apps for their simplicity and privacy and hate paying Saas bills and I wanted a way to start automating my life with AI so I started building Anything. Anything is built on Tauri so the front end is React and the "backend" is Rust. It's 100% local & 100% doesn't ask you to spin up docker to use. Another core goal of the app is to get away from "package bloat" you see in other general purpose AI oss projects where they have a package.json that is 300 lines long ( more on that later. ) Oh btw I suck at Rust! I learned Rust while building this so the code is _not…

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…
