Reclaim Flowers – A 2D physics-based "Digital Altar" protocol
I am a 75-year-old producer. In 2004, I helped bring "Crimson Room" to the global web. After spending 11 years in Fukushima—including 6 years working inside the nuclear power plant—I witnessed firsthand how large organizations can discard individuals. VPP (Virtual Protest Protocol) is my response to the debt-ridden, unequal society we are leaving to the next generation. It is a minimal, sprite-based protocol (MIT License) designed to create high-density, low-bandwidth civic spaces for digital dissent.

In plain words
Reclaim Flowers is a 2D physics-based digital altar protocol launched in 2026. It simulates flowers and natural elements using physics interactions within a digital space. The project is designed for users interested in interactive digital experiences and contemplative environments. The software is available on GitHub, making it accessible to developers and technically-minded users who want to engage with or modify the protocol themselves.

InvokeAI, an open source Stable Diffusion toolkit and WebUI2022 · github.com · ▲414Hey everyone! Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2). InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable…
I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server2023 · github.com · ▲174I got my start on the Internet in the very early 90s playing with, authoring in, and programming on LambdaMOO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LambdaMOO) and similar systems. Shared virtual social spaces, with a persistent object oriented authoring / scripting language. They can be classified as MUDs (depending on who you talk to) but the focus is social, creative / authoring, and shared programming not RPG gaming. I've always wanted to see this kind of thing modernized and further developed. Over the last 25 years or so I've worked on similar but novel & improved…
- RORebuild of Blossom, an open-source social robot2024 · msgtn.xyz · ▲58
From the post: Blossom is an open-source robot platform for human-robot interaction (HRI) research that I developed during my PhD. I’ve used Blossom for research in design, machine learning, and telepresence; others have made Blossoms for their own research purposes. I have continued working on “rebuilding” the entire platform: I redesigned the inner frame as a model kit, complete with Gunpla-inspired runners and instructions, and refactored the codebase as r0b0, a Python library for communicating between hardware peripherals and software applications. In preparation to present Blossom at…

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…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
