What it does
So often I open the YouTube homepage and end up opening 10 tabs with random videos and then forget why I went to YT in the first place! And then the sidebar gets me. Plus those annoying ads!! Then just distracted by all those tabs. OMG. So I built MuiTube!
Paste a YouTube URL (e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=xyz) or the video ID (e.g., xyz) above and click "Watch". Simply replace "you" with "mui" in any YouTube URL you tube.com/watch?v=xyz → mui tube.com/watch?v=xyz Then download our redirect script package with installationfrom muitube.com

I built a cleaner YouTube – no ads, sponsors, or doomscrolling2025 · skipcut.com · ▲22Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
