Free Fonts – a collection of 400+ original, open-source typefaces

Hi HN! For the past few months I've been working up to this launch of Free Fonts - it's a collection of completely free, open source, and original fonts that can be used for any project, including commercial ones. The collection has over 400 fonts in a variety of novel styles, from simple sans serifs to decorative handwritten and blackletter fonts. It will also continue to be updated and grow over time. Designers and developers today have essentially two options when it comes to choosing and creating fonts. Either use a Google Font, which can be limited in terms of unique and novel…

    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…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
