R2 Desk Pro

I built R2 Desk Pro because the Cloudflare R2 dashboard is fine for one-off tasks but painful for real workflows — bulk uploads, sync automation, cost visibility, and large bucket navigation across multiple accounts. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built with Tauri v2 and Rust. A few things I focused on for the security model: - Vault-gated access with Argon2id passphrase — no unlock, no R2 operations - Credentials stored exclusively in the OS keychain, never in app settings - All R2 requests execute in the Rust backend so secrets never sit in browser code paths - License validated via…

R2 Desk Pro launched on March 15, 2026 with 5 votes, #1,928 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

    OpenWorkers – Self-hosted Cloudflare workers in RustJan 2026 · openworkers.com · ▲500

    I've been working on this for some time now, starting with vm2, then deno-core for 2 years, and recently rewrote it on rusty_v8 with Claude's help. OpenWorkers lets you run untrusted JS in V8 isolates on your own infrastructure. Same DX as Cloudflare Workers, no vendor lock-in. What works today: fetch, KV, Postgres bindings, S3/R2, cron scheduling, crypto.subtle. Self-hosting is a single docker-compose file + Postgres. Would love feedback on the architecture and what feature you'd want next.

    Hi HN, I'm Adriano, one of the makers of Vaultrice. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share what we've been building. For years, we found ourselves in a frustrating loop: whenever we needed a simple real-time feature—like a "who's online" list, a collaborative app, or just sharing state between a marketing site and our main app — we'd end up spending days setting up the same stack or discarded to do it. Setting it up, it always involved wiring together a database, a WebSocket server, an API, and managing the connection state. It felt like massive overkill for what we were trying to…

  • Talanoa▲346

    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…
