TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container
My elderly parents are behind a 5G connection in rural areas, and I help them manage their network from overseas. I found a reasonably priced 5G router that can do external antennas required for it to work, but the only reasonable ways to get access to it is either through OpenVPN or WireGuard, the latter of which is much more lightweight and preferred with the memory constraints of the device. The problem with WireGuard is that it requires handling key management oneself, and configuring the keys to every device you want to access it from. It also doesn't play nicely together with other…
TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container launched on September 10, 2025 with 150 votes, #216 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
TailGuard is a containerized tool that connects a WireGuard router to Tailscale, simplifying remote network access without manual key management. Designed for users managing devices in areas with limited connectivity, it bridges lightweight WireGuard networking with Tailscale's centralized identity and access controls. The solution eliminates the complexity of configuring WireGuard keys across multiple devices and allows Tailscale to work alongside other VPNs on the same network.

WireHub – easily create and share WireGuard networks2023 · wirehub.org · ▲312WireHub is a side project I've been working on, on and off, for close to a year now. It's made with django and minimal javascript. It's a hosted WireGuard config generator/manager, that you can invite others to join your networks and manage their own configs/devices. It's still very much a beta, maybe an mvp, but I just wanted to get some early from the community. Thanks!

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
