Open-Source Software for Designing 3D-Printable Luneburg Lenses for RF
Hi HN community, I’m excited to share my project, LuneForge, an open-source tool currently in development that aims to simplify the design of Luneburg lenses specifically for radio frequency (RF) applications. Luneburg lenses are unique gradient-index lenses that focus RF signals effectively, making them valuable in various RF and antenna systems aimed for military and automotive industry. Key Features: Customizable Designs: Easily adjust parameters to tailor lens designs to specific RF needs. User-Friendly Interface: Designed to be accessible for both RF professionals and hobbyists.…
Open-Source Software for Designing 3D-Printable Luneburg Lenses for RF launched on September 2, 2024 with 73 votes, #544 of 5,281 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
LuneForge is an open-source tool for designing Luneburg lenses optimized for 3D printing and radio frequency applications. The software allows users to customize lens parameters for specific RF needs and features a user-friendly interface accessible to both RF professionals and hobbyists. Designs are optimized for SLA 3D printing to ensure precision and quality. The project is currently in development and built around community contribution and collaboration among RF enthusiasts.

StratusGFX, my open-source real-time 3D rendering engine2023 · github.com · ▲483It's been closed source for a long time while I worked on it on and off as a hobby research project, but yesterday the repo was made public for the first time under the MPL 2.0 license. A feature reel showing its capabilities can be found here: https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/feature_re... A technical breakdown of a single frame can be found here: https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/frame_anal... It's still in a very beta state (bugs and instability expected), but I felt like it was a good time to make it…
Luminal – Open-source, search-based GPU compiler2025 · github.com · ▲153Hi HN, I’m Joe. My friends Matthew, Jake and I are building Luminal (https://luminalai.com/), a GPU compiler for automatically generating fast GPU kernels for AI models. It uses search-based compilation to achieve high performance. We take high level model code, like you'd have in PyTorch, and generate very fast GPU code. We do that without using LLMs or AI - rather, we pose it as a search problem. Our compiler builds a search space, generates millions of possible kernels, and then searches through it to minimize runtime. You can try out a demo in `demos/matmul` on mac to…

LuaCAD models solids in Lua rather than the OpenSCAD language, with operator overloading for CSG (`a + b`, `a - b`, `a * b`). It ships with a CLI and a desktop app, including a preview area and a text editor. I've always been a big fan of OpenSCAD, but the SCAD language itself is unfortunately quite cobbled-together and is a very poorly designed programming language. LuaCAD takes all the good parts of OpenSCAD and combines them with one of the best scripting languages. It has now completely replaced OpenSCAD for me, and I think it provides a better experience than OpenSCAD for all use cases.…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
