Localdock
Localdock is a macOS menubar app that assigns a permanent, human-readable address to each local project so your dev servers dont collide on ports and your URLs stay stable. Use the same name on localhost, across your Wi-Fi to test on a phone, or via a temporary public HTTPS link

What it does
Localdock provides a simple solution for accessing local projects with a real HTTPS link. It allows you to share your development environment without any installation required on the client side. With a one-time payment of $9, you can manage your projects easily and access them from anywhere, even on mobile devices.
A macOS app: tap a bug on your localhost project from your phone or any browser, and it lands on your Mac for Claude Code or Codex to fix. $19 one-time.
Open your local project on your phone or in any browser, tap what's broken, and it lands on your Mac with a screenshot, the failed request and the console — one click from Claude Code or Codex. When that request comes back 200, Localdock marks it fixed. Each dev server as a live picture of its page — and the bugs people sent you, waiting on the right. Turn Tap to Fix on for a project and every page gets a small bug button — on your phone over Wi-Fi, or in any browser on your Mac, where ⌥⇧L works too. Tap the thing that's broken; tap again for what's behind it. No SDK and no code change: Localdock adds the button as the page passes through it. The report lands on your Mac with a…from localdock.dev

Talanoa▲337Hi 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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
