polluSensWeb
Connect your UART pollution sensor directly in the browser
What it does
polluSensWeb is a simple, no-fuss tool for reading and plotting data from UART air quality sensors—like PM2.5, VOCs, and similar stuff. It runs straight in your browser, so you don’t need to install anything. Just plug in your sensor, open the page, and go. You can load custom JSON configs for different sensors, parse raw binary frames, and see live charts update in real time. Everything runs locally; you may not have an internet connection. UPD: now it may send webhooks also!

Hi HN! I’ve been working on an air quality measuring device called Air Lab for the past three years. It measures CO2, temperature, relative humidity, air pollutants (VOC, NOx), and atmospheric pressure. You can log and analyze the data directly on the device — no smartphone or laptop needed. To better show what the device can do and how it feels like, I spent the past week developing a web-based simulator using Emscripten. It runs the stock firmware with most features available except for networking. Check it out and let me know what you think! The firmware will be open-source and available…

- DADriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367
Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…
