Laurix
Convert videos to WebP, WebM & MP4 for the web on Mac
What it does
Every time I needed a web-ready video, I had to open a terminal and remember ffmpeg flags. So I built Laurix. Drop any video → get an animated WebP, WebM, or MP4 in seconds. Built-in trim tool, real-time preview, batch conversion, 100% offline. No terminal. No cloud upload. No subscription. No ffmpeg knowledge required. Native Mac app (Apple Silicon). Free to try Pro license: €24 one-time.

Hey HN, just wanted to share my success story with CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS. For those who may not be familiar, FFmpeg is a powerful tool for converting, streaming, and recording audio and video content. I started CompressX as a weekend project to serve my 9-5 jobs, primarily to compress demo videos for uploading to GitLab and sharing with my colleagues. It took me 2 weeks to make the first working version. I shared the demo on Twitter and the reaction was extraordinary. People loved it, they said that I was bringing the Pied Piper to life. Four months later, I hit the $9,000…

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…
