Ledit – a read-only, client-side only Reddit and HN client

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've been frustrated with Reddit's recent API turn, and am also not the biggest fan of HN on mobile. I used to take part in discussion years ago on both sites, but have slowly turned into a lurker. As such, I need a slick client that works on both desktop and mobile, that let's me merely consume content, both media…

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years2023 · non.io · ▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…

  Zsync, a Reddit Alternative with the Goal to Reward Quality Comments2023 · zsync.xyz · ▲207

  I built this last year but never posted it anywhere, but now with Reddit hiatus it seems like the right time to give it a shot. The main goal of zsync is to foster high quality content and discussion. That's it. If it can't accomplish that, then to me it is a failure. I watched Reddit go from having high quality discussion in 2008-9 to devolving into the PC meme dumpster it is today [1]. HN still has the highest discussion quality of any "forum" I know of, but (1) it can sometimes randomly be very hostile/toxic to new tech, the most glaring example being crypto. (2) HN is basically a…

  I Built a Reddit-style Bluesky client – still rough, but open to ideas2025 · threadsky.app · ▲127

  I’ve been messing around with Bluesky for a while, and one thing I really missed was a proper way to browse discussions in a structured, Reddit-like way specially myself being daily reddit user. So, I ended up building a Reddit-like client for Bluesky that scratches that itch: Threadsky.app It pulls in trending topics, lets you explore conversations with a threaded view (so no more getting lost in replies), and even allows users to create channels with customizations, basically, like subreddits but on Bluesky. That said, this is still pretty barebones, and there’s a lot to improve. I really…

  Ledit – all your procrastination in one place2023 · ledit.marioslab.io · ▲12

  For procrastination, I usually go to Reddit, HN, or RSS/Atom feeds. I wanted a single place to view all these, without any distractions like adds, permanent UI redesigns, and super simple navigation and feed management. So I built ledit over the last few nights. Here's a very amateurish promo video. ledit is open-source and can also easily be self-hosted if you so wish. https://github.com/badlogic/ledit2 My background is in gaming tech and compilers, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. I've used lit + tailwind for the frontend and Node/Express/Postgres…

  Talanoa▲346

  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…

  LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time▲854

  Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
