Xenolab – Rasp Pi monitor for my pet carnivourus plants

In plain words

Xenolab is a Raspberry Pi-based monitoring system designed for carnivorous plant enthusiasts. It tracks environmental conditions like humidity, temperature, and light levels specific to the needs of carnivorous species. Users can set up sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi to observe and log data about their plants' growing conditions. The project is open-source and available on GitHub, making it accessible to hobbyists interested in both plant care and DIY electronics.

From the sources

The Xenolab Rasp Pi Monitor is a cutting-edge, semi-autonomous biosurveillance module engineered for the precise care and observation of exotic carnivorous flora. It's just past 8AM so it's about 50% though simulated sunrise. I wanted to have some fun with 3D printing and electronics, which gets me away from my normal day job running Atomic Tessellator ( https://atomictessellator.com ). There are lots of aspects of this project that are wildly impractical and over-engineered and done just for fun. I'm really new at CAD, this was my first time. It's ok, you can laugh at my designs. I used the wonderful tinkercad.com because I found that to be the most intuitive. I can code in my sleep, make…from github.com

  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…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
