What it does
Meet PulseWaves: a local-first, open-source procedural audio generator written in Rust. No loops, no cloud tracking—just 100% real-time soundscapes tailored across 5 neuro-acoustic modes and 9 native textures. Powered by your HRV, it codes perfect states for deep focus or deep rest. Zero lag, zero battery drain. Open, sync, and breathe.
PulseWaves turns your real-time heart rate into live binaural music — for focus, sleep, naps and relaxation. Not a playlist: every note is generated as your pulse changes. Free on Google Play.
PulseWaves composes binaural music live, note by note — no pre-recorded loops, no playlists. It sounds great right away from a steady baseline pulse, and locks onto your real heartbeat the moment you connect a wearable. Built for focus, rest and relaxation. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. The Free tier is genuinely usable: two modes, four instruments and 25-minute sessions, with ads on Pomodoro breaks. No wearable, no problem — PulseWaves generates a full live session from a steady baseline pulse. Pair a device that shares heart rate through Android Health Connect — most Wear OS watches, Fitbit and Google Fit sources — or connect a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor directly,…from wparrado.github.io

AudioNimbus – Steam Audio's immersive spatial audio, now in Rust2025 · github.com · ▲77Hi HN! I’m excited to share AudioNimbus, a Rust library that brings the powerful spatial audio capabilities of Steam Audio to the Rust ecosystem. Whether you’re building games, VR/AR experiences, or simulations, AudioNimbus makes it easier to integrate realistic, immersive audio into your projects. Steam Audio is a toolkit for spatial audio, developed by Valve. It simulates realistic sound propagation, including effects like directionality, distance attenuation, reflections, and reverb. It’s used in games like Half-Life: Alyx and Counter-Strike 2. Rust is increasingly being adopted in…

Vibez – Open-Source Rust Based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)Aug 2026 · alexanderwanyoike.github.io · ▲21Hey HN i’m a platform engineer and my day job I mainly focus on kubernetes clusters and terraform with the occasional C#, Typescript when building services, so this could well be completely out of my depth. Jolt started as an experiment to see whether I could build my own network at all. I’ll also be honest that most of this code was agentically written. However the high level decisions and architecture were mine based on research, experimentation, trial and error. Canary testing was one of the consequences of that when you build this way you need something slapping your AI-driven confidence…
Pulse 2.0 – Live co-listening rooms where anyone can be a DJNov 2025 · 473999.net · ▲86I wanted to listen to music with friends who live far away. Not "watch a YouTube video together" - actually share what I'm hearing in real-time, like we're in the same room. Pulse is what came out of that. Anyone can host a live audio stream from their browser tab or system audio. Listeners join, music recognition identifies tracks automatically, and there's chat with 7TV emotes. No account required - you get an anonymous code and you're in. We're running demo rooms that stream NTS Radio and SomaFM 24/7 (indie project, not affiliated - we backlink to the original stations). There's also…

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…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
