What it does
To make the experience fit your profile, pick a username and tell us what interests you. This project was created on 10/17/2024 and last updated 2 years ago. With the ESP32-S3 PowerFeather making it easy to create ESP32-based solar + LiPo/Li-Ion projects, it’s time to power something bigger! The next logical step is to give your single board computers like the Raspberry Pis some PowerUPS (pun intended). This enables much more computing power on your remote/off-grid projects - maybe something needing a vision, audio processing, or some sort of edge AI. However, unlike the ESP32-S3 PowerFeather, I will be building this in public with the hardware design (schematic & layout) available…from hackaday.io

We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls2025 · pilaenergy.com · ▲301Hi HN! I’m Cole Ashman, founder of Pila Energy. I’ve spent my career working on home energy systems—first as an engineer on Tesla’s Powerwall, where I focused on the Backup Gateway, Solar Inverter, and metering systems. More recently, I led Product at SPAN, where we built the Smart Electrical Panel and integrated with most major home solar, EV, and battery systems. Pila (https://pila.energy/) is a home battery that plugs into a standard wall outlet, provides smart backup power, energy shifting, and grid services. It’s more than a power bank—it’s a distributed energy system…

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…
