Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIP

I have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.

Show HN: Open-source Stripe Connect alternative

Hey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6. I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace cho...

Launch HN: Vendo (YC S26) – Let users build features on top of your product

Hi HN, we’re Yousef & Nour, founders of Vendo ( https://vendo.run ). Vendo lets users create new features inside the software they already use. A user describes the dashboard, workflow, or small app they need, and Vendo builds it on top of the product’s existing data, API, and interface. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdpHehY64ls We built Vendo because every SaaS eventually faces the same problem: every customer needs something slightly different. One wants a new report and another need...

Show HN: We chased a weather balloon across Montana and never found it

Since April, I have been working with Sam Flynn ( https://drook.dev ) to make this balloon payload, UpLink. We did a similar launch last year with Hack Club but this was our first independent launch. UpLink was a 491 gram payload testing the insulation properties of 3D printing filaments, while also transmitting 320x240 images over a radio link -- up from the 18x10 images last year! This is a writeup on our engineering process, mistakes made, and learning experiences. It covers: - Custom electro...

Show HN: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browser

Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js. Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software. Do you have use cases for this? We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing wi...

Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AI

Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah. I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself. I'd like to go back to writing co...

This tiny guitar amp is the most unhinged distortion pedal I’ve ever used

Is Amp Crash a guitar amp or a guitar pedal? Yes. Death By Audio's latest is, in fact, both. While it's in a guitar pedal enclosure, Amp Crash is actually a tiny 3-watt amp hooked up to a 2-inch speaker. You can even connect an external speaker if you want. This isn't a digital re-creation […]
