  ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line2022 · github.com · ▲227

  hi, this is a project I've been working on and off for the last three months, it's my first non-trivial, non-hello-world, actually useful (at least to me) go project. it would be very nice if you could just try the program and see if it works on your setup! the readme[0] explains how it works, why I wrote it and how it fits in my "command-line centric" computing environment (there is also a video demo[1] :)). if you know go, feel free to take a look at the code and review it! I'm still pretty much new to go and I'd love to hear opinions, feedback and tips from more seasoned go developers :)…

  YTShortsDL-HD, MP4, MP3 & Batch ToolsNov 2025 · ytshortsdl.net · ▲9

  Hi HN, I'm the maker behind YTShortsDL. The Problem Existing video download tools are designed for long-form video, not the short-form content ecosystem. When content creators try to repurpose dozens of YouTube Shorts across platforms (TikTok, Reels), they face significant friction: manually downloading one by one is slow and unreliable, leading to wasted hours and missed publishing windows. The focus is on individual files, not high-volume workflows. The Solution / How it Works We built YTShortsDL from the ground up to solve batch processing. We optimized the retrieval and queuing…

  Talanoa▲345

  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…

  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!

  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!
