Trickle/tritty, a 600 baud pipe/terminal

In plain words

Trickle and Tritty are developer tools that simulate slow data throughput. Trickle functions as a pipeline component that restricts data flow to 600 baud, while Tritty spawns an interactive terminal with similarly constrained bandwidth. These tools let developers experience what using a terminal over a slow serial connection feels like, useful for testing software behavior under bandwidth constraints.

From the sources

TRICKLE is used as part of a shell pipeline and had very low throughput, hence the name: data trickles through the pipe. TRITTY (‘trickle tty’) might be the more interesting version of this tool: it spawns an interactive subterminal with very low throughput. It simulates the experience of using a terminal over a slow serial connection. Append ?t=30 to start the playback at 30s, ?t=3:20 to start the playback at 3m 20s.

  Pipenet – A Modern Alternative to LocaltunnelJan 2026 · pipenet.dev · ▲114

  Hey HN! localtunnel's server needs random ports per client. That doesn't work on Fly.io or behind strict firewalls. We rewrote it in TypeScript and added multiplexing over a single port. Open-source and 100% self-hostable. Public instance at *.pipenet.dev if you don't want to self-host. Built at Glama for our MCP Inspector, but it's a generic tunnel with no ties to our infra. https://github.com/punkpeye/pipenet

  I built an open-source data pipeline tool in Go2024 · github.com · ▲200

  Every data pipeline job I had to tackle required quite a few components to set up: - One tool to ingest data - Another one to transform it - If you wanted to run Python, set up an orchestrator - If you need to check the data, a data quality tool Let alone this being hard to set up and taking time, it is also pretty high-maintenance. I had to do a lot of infra work, and while this being billable hours for me I didn’t enjoy the work at all. For some parts of it, there were nice solutions like dbt, but in the end for an end-to-end workflow, it didn’t work. That’s why I decided to build an…

  Pipelex – Declarative language for repeatable AI workflowsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲122

  We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…

  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…
