ADB Wrench

Hey HN, We built ADBWrench – a browser-based ADB tool that connects to Android devices via WebUSB. No SDK install, no drivers, no PATH config. Just plug in and debug. The problem: Every Android dev knows the friction of setting up adb. Install platform-tools, fight with USB drivers (especially on Windows), hope `adb devices` shows something. Then remember the exact syntax for that one command you need. ADBWrench runs entirely in the browser. Open the URL, grant USB permission, done. The interesting part: There's an AI assistant built in. Describe what you want to do in plain English – "show…

    Hi 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…

I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
