Waifu Engine

What it does

WaifuEngine is a free Chrome extension that puts a draggable anime girl overlay on every tab you open. Pick from a character gallery, resize her, move her anywhere on screen, and she follows you across every website you visit. Favorites system lets you pin your top characters. Built it as a fun side project and somehow people actually use it.

A draggable anime girl overlay that lives on every tab. Pick your character, resize her, move her anywhere. She's always there for you. Your waifu shows up on every single tab. YouTube, Twitter, news sites, everything. She never leaves you. Grab and drag her anywhere on the screen. Your position is remembered across pages and browser restarts. Use the popup slider to scale her from tiny companion to full-screen presence. From 0.5× to 3× size. Heart your favorite characters to pin them to the top. Switch between characters with a single click. Paid unlockable feature. Upload any GIF as your overlay. Stored locally, never leaves your device. Need to focus?

  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.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, 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!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  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!
