Lynk – Securely expose local TCP and HTTP services to the web

In plain words

Lynk is a tool that securely exposes local TCP and HTTP services to the web. It allows users to make services running on their local machines accessible over the internet with encryption and security controls. The software is designed for developers and technical users who need to share or access local applications remotely without complex networking setup.

  Lynk – Real-time and daily app updates via websockets (macOS, no SDKs)2025 · github.com · ▲6

  Hi hackers! I'm a self-taught solo teenage dev ever wanted to show what you're doing right now on the internet? well I've been wanting to for a while, so I built Lynk, a lightweight macOS app that tracks your active apps, window titles, and daily usage in real time, and broadcasts that data over WebSockets. Oh and it also updates whenever you switch apps to connected clients! No SDKs, no APIs — just local tracking + a websocket endpoint you can ping from any language.

  Zynk, a Fast, P2P Encrypted File Transfers and Messaging Across DevicesDec 2025 · ▲14

  Hi HN, I’m Marc, founder of Zynk, an application being built by a small bootstrapped team. Zynk is a cross‑platform file transfer + messaging app designed around two things: reliability (auto‑resume) and privacy (end‑to‑end encryption). The project started because I felt it's still a pain to move files and folders across a Linux laptops, a Mac workstation, my phone, countless other devices, and to others. Some existing solutions don't cross ecosystems, cloud drives are slow/inefficient/fragile for big transfers, and a lot of tools fall over when you sleep a laptop or switch…

  A basketball hoop to maximize shots that go in [video]▲971

  https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
