ZetaJS – client-side LibreOffice widget and automation in the browser

ZetaJS wraps ZetaOffice, a WASM version of LibreOffice - and makes accessing the entire gamut of the LibreOffice programmability interfaces from JavaScript convenient, idiomatic & extremely fast. If you always wanted an entire client-side office suite in the browser, that you could fully automate with JS & seamlessly embed in your web apps - and on top of that, be able to self-host it & keep all data on the client, since there's literally no server involved (except for some static wasm & JS blobs) - then this might be for you.

    Libredesk – Open-source customer support desk. Single binary app2025 · github.com · ▲376

    Libredesk is a 100% free and open-source customer support desk, the backend is written in Go and the frontend is in Vue JS with ShadnCN for UI components. Unlike many "open-core" alternatives that lock essential features behind enterprise plans, Libredesk is fully open-source and plans to always stay this way. It's in alpha (v0.1.0) right now, but there’s a working demo available. I built this because I wanted a truly open and self-hosted alternative to platforms like Chatwoot, Intercom, and Zendesk. Would love feedback, suggestions, and thoughts from the community. GitHub:…

    WASM-powered codespaces for Python notebooks on GitHub2025 · docs.marimo.io · ▲204

    Hi HN! Last year, we shared marimo [1], an open-source reactive notebook for Python with support for execution through WebAssembly [2]. We wanted to share something new: you can now run marimo and Jupyter notebooks directly from GitHub in a Wasm-powered, codespace-like environment. What makes this powerful is that we mount the GitHub repository's contents as a filesystem in the notebook, making it really easy to share notebooks with data. All you need to do is prepend 'marimo.app' to any Python notebook on GitHub. Some examples: - Jupyter Notebook:…

    We have built WASM-based JavaScript client adapter for Memgraph2022 · memgraph.com · ▲17

    Hi everyone! For our graph database, Memgraph [1], we have just built a WASM-based JavaScript client adapter called jsmgclient. One of our engineers has described in depth the process that he has used to achieve this. [2] If you have used WASM can you take a look at our approach and tell us what you think about our approach? Do you see any things that we should have done differently? [1] https://memgraph.com/ [2] https://memgraph.com/blog/wasm-introducing-the-very-first-wa...

    JavaScript-first, open-source WYSIWYG DOCX editorFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲130

    We needed a JS-first WYSIWYG DOCX editor and couldn't find a solid OSS option, most were either commercial or abandoned. As an experiment, we gave Claude Code the OOXML spec, a concrete editor architecture, and a Playwright-based test suite. The agent iterated in a (Ralph) loop over a few nights and produced a working editor from scratch. Core text editing works today. Tables and images are functional but still incomplete. MIT licensed.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kentonv&#x2F;lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
