Stay Awake
Hey I'm Pranav, and I'm excited to launch Stay Awake! Ever step away for a quick coffee or chat, only to come back to a locked screen and your Teams/Slack status showing 'Away'? Annoying, right? Changing system sleep settings constantly is a pain. That's why I built Stay Awake! It's a super simple web app with one main goal: Keep your computer awake temporarily without changing any system settings. How? Just keep the Stay Awake browser tab open and active in the foreground. The app uses the browser's built-in features (Screen Wake Lock API or fallbacks) to signal to your OS that you're…

This project is based on keep-awake by CarolinaMoraes, which itself was inspired by nosleep.page .

There's often times I want to prevent a computer/laptop/VM from sleeping and while, yes, there's various Caffeine/Amphetamine apps they're often overkill. Instead, this small (12Kb) page does the job and only needs a web browser. It's just a very simple usage of a web api normally used for things like video players: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Wake...

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.

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
