What it does

GhostMode protects your device identity from hardware fingerprinting. AI tools like Amazon's Kiro track your machine ID, MAC address, and hostname — not your IP. VPNs don't help. GhostMode does. Built with Tauri (~5MB). $29 lifetime.

    DevicePrint – device fingerprinting without cookiesJan 2026 · ▲21

    Hi HN, I built DevicePrint after running into problems with duplicate accounts and unreliable cookies in my own projects. DevicePrint is a lightweight device fingerprinting tool designed for developers. It helps identify devices across sessions without relying on cookies. Use cases include fraud detection, preventing duplicate signups, and security-sensitive workflows. I'd really appreciate feedback — especially around privacy concerns or edge cases you’ve run into.

    I built GhostHub because I was tired of Plex/Jellyfin setups just to watch or share a few files. This lets you: - Run instantly (Python script, .exe, or Docker) - Browse media in a swipe-based UI (mobile + desktop) - Share online with built-in tunnel support (Cloudflare or Pinggy) - Set session passwords, live sync views, and even chat No logins. No setup. Just run it, point it to a folder, and go. Live demo (limited features): https://ghosthub.net Would love feedback, bug reports, or ideas!

    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! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. 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
