In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, I’m Ethiel, the creator of LucidClip. LucidClip is a native clipboard manager built around a simple principle: your clipboard is sensitive data, and it should stay on your machine. Most clipboard tools either sync clipboard data to their servers, store everything indefinitely, or treat clipboard history as a…

  I made my commercial clipboard manager open source because it's right2025 · ▲6

  Hey HN, Clipboard managers handle sensitive data such as passwords, personal notes, API keys, etc. To trust one you need to be sure that it doesn't send your data to third parties or store it on remote servers. With closed-source apps, you have to take the developer’s word for it. As a software engineer, I don't like that. Transparency matters. So, I decided to make my commercial clipboard manager open source. Anyone can inspect the source code, verify that data stays local and never leaves the user's device. Anyone can build the app from source and use it. At the same time, the app is still…

  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 spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
