Watermelon Backup

What it does

Supports backup to external storage, SMB, WebDAV, S3, and SFTP. Compared with other similar apps, Watermelon Backup tries to offer all of these things together: 1. The code is open source, which I hope can reduce some concerns about the privacy of your photos and videos. 2. It supports multiple storage nodes. A node can be an external drive, SMB share, WebDAV server, S3-compatible bucket, or SFTP server. 3. Carefully design and implement in code, not a toy project. 4. No Subscriptions.

Supports backup to external storage, SMB, WebDAV, SFTP, S3-compatible buckets, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Open source on GitHub.

  Hey HN, I built a tiny offline tool to help back up iPhone/iPad photos and videos to PC or Mac via USB. No iCloud, no accounts, no cloud storage — just straight device-to-device transfer. Originally made it for someone close to me who had tens of thousands of photos but didn't want to deal with subscriptions or cloud storage. Thought it might be useful for others too, so putting it out there. It keeps Live Photos, 4K videos, RAW files, and transfers quickly without compression. Works on both Windows and macOS.

  Talanoa▲343

  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…

  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!

  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!
