I built an open-source wallpaper gallery for GitHub repos
Hey HN, GitHub has hundreds of wallpaper repositories with thousands of images, but actually browsing them is painful. You either clone gigabytes locally or click through the file browser one by one. So I built WALL·E Gallery. Use existing collections or Paste a repo URL→ instant gallery. How it works: - Fetches repo tree via GitHub (no cloning) - Proxies thumbnails (~50KB instead of 10MB originals) - Works with private repos too (with GitHub token) Infinite scroll, search, dark mode, mobile friendly, self-hostable. No accounts, no tracking. Live: https://walle.theblank.club…

Morning HN. I had an issue recently where I wanted to share some private Github repositories with a larger audience than usual (25k+) on Youtube and was simply considering making my code public. Came up with an idea to build a middleman service that handles user access/management, generate share links and even paywall individual repos. Thought I might as well share here in case there's another dev out there who might be interested in sharing a private repo. Keen to get any feedback as I'm currently building

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
