Hello! I'm Byran. I spent the past ~6 months engineering a laptop from scratch. It's fully open-source on GH at: https://github.com/Hello9999901/laptop

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Atlas of Space▲770Hello HN! Sharing a recent side project of mine, the Atlas of Space, that I built out to explore the Solar System. As a long-time space nerd, I realized recently that I didn't have a good intuition on the scale, speed, and relative orientation of the celestial bodies around us. So over the break I built out a kind of spatial Wikipedia to click around and learn about planets, moons, asteroids, and other bodies orbiting the Sun. The physics is all simulated in the browser using simple Newtonian mechanics. There's a lot left to do from here, including modeling objects in non-Keplerian orbits…

Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years. Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going. I didn't really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected. It's sort of like a low-budget Unreal/Source, but with open-world streaming support and it is free and open source. Very old-school. But optimized for more modern hardware. Very fast too. Still not production ready, but it seems like it is…

I created a TUI for systemd/systemctl called isd (interactive systemd). It provides a fuzzy search for units, auto-refreshing previews, smart sudo handling, and a fully customizable, keyboard-focused interface for power users and newcomers alike. It is a more powerful (but heavier) version of sysz, which was the inspiration for the project. This should be a huge timesaver for anybody who frequently interacts with or edits systemd units/services. And if not, please let me know why! :)

Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

A year ago I surveyed the internet and noticed there was only one popular space for trans and gender-non-conforming people to meet; Lex. Lex is not well liked by its users. Its software feels heavy and it is full of cash grabs and anti-patterns. It was recently acquired and is sure to only become more hostile to its users as it turns towards profit generation. With this in mind I built t4t, an alternative specially designed for not only queer people, but specifically trans people. It is an extremely lightweight service. I built it with my most ideal stack: Flutter, Svelte, Supabase, Posthog.…

When automating business processes at work, I found it difficult and time-consuming to reverse engineer business systems' APIs. I often had to manually reverse engineer APIs using developer tools or settle for less optimal technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Often, the issue is that it can be hard to resolve all the cookies, access tokens, and other elements required to successfully execute the requests. Manually trying to resolve these dependencies using developer tools is especially challenging with multiple requests where data is stored in JavaScript objects or HTML…

Hey there, I'm a big fan of the game Factorio and the beauty of factories in the game. That's why I created a website to artfully visualize Factorio blueprints a few years ago. With the new 2.0 update, a few things broke. I took the opportunity to rewrite everything from Python to JavaScript and support Factorio 2.0 and the Space Age DLC. It's now also possible to easily modify the style of the drawings. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you have ideas for features.

DROP▲422I'm the founder of DROP. I've been plugging away at this project for over six months now. We managed to secure funding, which was a huge relief. You see, I had a previous startup called cowtransfer.com. It was a file transfer gig, kind of like WeTransfer. I had a good run with it, but in 2021, I decided to sell it and move on. Now, jumping back into the digital assets arena was like starting from scratch. I kept asking myself, what does the AI creative industry really hunger for? How can AI swoop in and make their creative content production process a breeze? I mean, it's like trying to…
