Nallely – A Python signals/MIDI processing system inspired by Smalltalk

In plain words

Nallely is a Python-based system for creating and connecting signal-processing components called neurons that communicate through patches and channels. Designed for musicians and developers, it routes signals to MIDI devices and external applications while supporting neurons written in other programming languages via a network bus. It features a visual patching interface and an API for building custom reactive neurons, inspired by treating systems as living organisms that can adapt and distribute across networks.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Nallely is about experimenting with signals: routing, patching, or writing small neurons that process signals and eventually sink in MIDI devices or any application connected to Nallely. I try to get inspired by the "Systems as a Living Things" philosophy and aim, step by step, to create an auto-adaptive, resilient…

  Nimbalyst BetaDec 2025 · nimbalyst.com · ▲81

  Hello Hacker News. The four of us have been getting the best results with Claude Code when we iterate with it to build full context and then use and update that context as we work. So, we built Nimbalyst to maximize our (and your) ability to iterate and build context with and for AI. Nimbalyst is the local WYSIWYG editor and session manager where you iterate with Claude Code on docs, diagrams, mockups, and code. Nimbalyst lets you: - Use all the power of Claude Code in a UI - Work with Claude Code to write and edit WYSIWYG markdown, see AI changes as red/green, approve them - Integrate…

  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…

  Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal▲1,094

  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…

  I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio▲1,032

  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…
