A static file server in 1.5MB – no Node, no Python, no install
I built websitino, a small static file server intended for quick local development or testing. It’s a single binary (~1.5MB), with no external dependencies or runtime requirements — just run it in any folder and it starts serving files over HTTP. It’s written in D and designed to be fast, minimal, and secure by default. Hidden files and directories (like .git) aren’t served unless explicitly enabled. You can customize behavior through simple command-line flags — e.g., enable directory listing or auto-serve index.html. Example: websitino --list-dirs --index I created it because I was tired of…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
