In plain words

Astral is a static site generator built for Elixir applications that uses Volt for power and functionality. It enables developers working with Elixir to generate static websites efficiently. The tool brings static site generation capabilities to the Elixir ecosystem, offering an alternative approach to building and deploying sites through code-based generation rather than traditional server-based methods.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
