The platform includes a plugin system allowing developers to extend functionality through custom tools and integrations via an open API.

Hollow2025 · hollow-space.vercel.app · ▲3Hello HN happy to share with everyone a project of mine. it's a desktop app called Hollow. How i made it : I used Tauri framework with solidjs What does it do : It's an empty canvas that you can place tools inside of it, tools like [Notebook, Kanban, Embed ...], you can make as much instances of the same tool as you want, that way you can have for example 2 notebooks next to each other serving different subjects. or kanban columns one for todo and one for finished task, you can also customize the [size, appearance, position] of these instances. that way you can have a flexible interface.

Diagram as code tool with draggable customizationsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲266In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization. Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
