    I just open sourced Muxamp, a streaming media playlist in Node.js▲32

    Hey HN! I've been working on Muxamp for over a year now, and I decided that there's no point in keeping the source closed. (I never planned on making money from it.) I've learned a lot since I started, and I hope others can benefit from its release--and perhaps teach me a thing or two as well :)

    YouTubeTLDR – A lightweight, self-hosted YouTube summarizer in Rust▲9

    There are many commercial YouTube summarizers, but I couldn't find an open-source one that truly fit my needs. So, I built YouTubeTLDR: a simple, self-hostable solution that uses the Gemini API without much bloat. I went with a synchronous approach + threading which was a nice break from Tokio. It is Bring Your Own Key, but the key is sent to the server for each request, which is something I might revise in the future. There is a demo on https://youtubetldr.onrender.com/
