Knittle
A cosy knitting companion for iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch
What it does
Most knitting counters feel like productivity apps: streaks, badges, notifications. Knitting is the opposite, it's slow on purpose. Knittle is a calmer take. Count rows and stitches, track repeating motifs, keep your patterns (PDF, photo or link) and notes next to each project, and time your sessions, all in a warm, cocooning interface with a serif "paper notebook" feel. It syncs privately across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own iCloud. No account, no Knittle server.

I wrote some simple open source web-based app to (1) dynamically compute knitting patterns (based on input parameters, such as the exact desired size), and (2) display these patterns and help me keep track of which row I'm on (as I start knitting), similar to minimalist "row counters" that other knitters use. It also gives you a simple visualization of the shape of what you're knitting. You can see it in action at https://alefore.github.io/knit/ (and read about it in https://github.com/alefore/knit). Right now I only implemented on simple pattern:…

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…
