What it does
Tarang is a minimal, tvOS-inspired launcher: a clean dock of favorites, your full app grid one press away, and full-screen app artwork as the wallpaper that follows whatever you point at. It's free, open source, and sideloadable today (APK in the GitHub release). There's even a guided setup to make it your default home, including the workaround Google TV needs.

Full‑bleed artwork, liquid‑glass chrome, and a dock that gets out of your way — built D‑pad‑first for the living room. # Build a release APK ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease # Install to a connected device (or wireless ADB target) adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk Tip: debug builds run fine on an emulator but are noticeably slow on real TV hardware — use the release build on a device. Then, on the device, open Settings → Home setup and follow the steps to make Tarang your homefrom github.com

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…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
