AutoHotkey for Linux
Hello HN, this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant subset of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it…

In plain words
AutoHotkey for Linux is a reimplementation of the Windows automation scripting language for Unix-like systems. It supports classic AutoHotkey v1.0 syntax for creating hotkeys, automation scripts, and GUIs. The tool can convert scripts into standalone binaries. While it covers essential functionality, some commands remain incomplete compared to the full Windows version. It is designed for users familiar with AutoHotkey who need similar automation capabilities on Linux systems.

This is my free and open-source project that work with taking input from user and made AutoHotkey script from it. With integration of AutoHotkey Interception to make script able to remap only on specific devices. Can be useful for someone who want to use AutoHotkey, but don't know how to code or just lazy to code or simply someone who don't know AutoHotkey but interested in it's feature and want to use this project as a whole. This is not official tool from AutoHotkey but my standalone project.

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
