HelixKey

What it does

HelixKey replaces seed phrases with biometric identity. Using the Human Key Protocol, your unique biological markers generate a cryptographic key — locally, privately, never stored anywhere. Your Decentralized Identity works across all Web3 apps. No passwords. No fear of losing access. You are the Root of Trust. Powered by $GNV token.

  Satoshi9000 analog BTC key generator (mechanical)2024 · ▲164

  I built this machine so I could generate Bitcoin keys that I could trust. Air-gapped and simple to use and understand (mechanical). The Satoshi 9000 demo: https://youtu.be/bJiOia5PoGE The key value proposition of the machine is that it generates analog randomness in the physical world and converts it into digital (1’s and 0’s) randomness. Seamlessly. But it occurs to me that it may have other uses beyond crypto keys for your own use, such as: * Randomized clinical trials. Clinical trials need a high degree of transparency for ethical reasons; also, for legal reasons should it…

  Anonymous age verification with passkey-powered encryptionAug 2026 · loginwithone.com · ▲45

  This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present. tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
