Paper Overlay

Your screen, but it feels like pape

Paper Overlay launched on March 18, 2026.

What it does

We spend 7+ hours a day on screens. Blue light filters help — but they don't change how unnatural a screen feels compared to paper. Paper Overlay adds a real paper-grain texture on top of your display. Your eyes relax because they perceive a familiar, organic surface — not a glowing rectangle. GPU-accelerated, click-through, multi-monitor, 15 languages. 2 MB, no subscriptions. €2.99, yours forever. Try free for 7 days.

    I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image.

  • Asdf Overlay – High performance in-game overlay library for Windows2025 · github.com · ▲77

    I am making a open source overlay library. Game overlay is for rendering contents on top of game screen. Representative examples are Discord and Steam in-game overlay. They are complicated because it has to hook rendering part of a game. Asdf overlay provides easy to use interfaces for rendering on top of game screen. I recognize game performance degradation due to overlay rendering, so GPU shared texture was used to avoid CPU framebuffer copy. Asdf Overlay is capable of rendering full screen overlay without noticeable performance loss.

    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…
