What it does

Turn any phone into a remote deck for your Windows laptop: app launcher, touchpad, keyboard, live screen view, media & power controls — all over your own Wi-Fi. One npm start, no cloud, no accounts, optional Tailscale for remote access.

App launcher, touchpad, keyboard, live screen view, media, brightness and power — all from your phone over your own Wi-Fi. One Node process on your Windows or Linux laptop, a PWA on the phone. Zero cloud, zero accounts.

Launcher, touchpad, keyboard, a live screen you can tap, media & volume, brightness, and lock / sleep / shutdown — all from the phone in your hand. One Node.js process on the laptop, a PWA on the phone. Nothing leaves your network. Native-feeling, thumb-friendly, and built as a real PWA — add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. Seven built-in decks. Each feature is a server-enforced switch — turn any of them off and the agent flat-out refuses those commands. Tiles for apps, folders, files and websites. Add or remove tiles right from the phone, and choose which browser opens a given site — bare names like chrome.exe resolve just like the Run dialog. Relative pointer with…from ronak-create.github.io

  • Talanoa▲345

    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…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
