[DevOps] Show HN: TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container My elderly parents are behind a 5G connection in rural areas, and I help them manage their network from overseas. I found a reasonably priced 5G router that can do external antennas required for it to work, but the only reasonable ways to get access to it is either through OpenVPN or WireGuard, the latter of which is much more lightweight and preferred with the memory constraints of the device.<p>The problem with WireGuard is that it requires handling key management oneself, and configuring the keys to every device you want to access it from. It also doesn&#x27;t play nicely together with other VPNs, meaning I ended up connecting and disconnecting VPNs whenever I wanted to use them. This is especially evident on my phone, which only allows one VPN app at a time.<p>I was already using Tailscale as an easy way to handle homelab access with SSO, even if some computers are behind ISP CGNAT, and came up with this idea of spinning up a Docker container to connect the two. I found some suggestions for it online, but nothing ready to use. It ended up being more work than I expected to fine tune the routing, IPv6, firewall settings, re-resolving the DNS of the router on IP address changes etc.<p>I got it very stable eventually though, and wanted to share with everyone else. I think it&#x27;s cool to have the WireGuard router looking like any other Tailscale node in my tailnet now.

[Other] Show HN: Vicinae – a native, Raycast-compatible launcher for Linux Hi HN!<p>I’ve always been a fan of application launchers, and I was impressed by the approach the Raycast team took — especially their extension system. About six months ago I started building something similar for Linux, aiming to integrate deeply at the OS level and give extensions a lot of power.<p>Vicinae is written in C++ with Qt Widgets. I chose Widgets over QML for more imperative control of the UI, especially around extension handling. So far that’s worked well — modern C++ is great.<p>To support my goals I built a number of custom widgets, including a fully virtualized list that can efficiently render tens of thousands of items. That gave me a lot of respect for Qt — it’s a powerful framework that mostly stayed out of my way.<p>A key feature is support for Raycast extensions (React + TypeScript), most of which can be installed and used directly inside the launcher (though not all features are implemented yet). There’s also a native API package (@vicinae&#x2F;api) for writing Vicinae-specific extensions with additional capabilities. This required writing a custom React reconciler — surprisingly straightforward, though still unpolished.<p>Like Raycast, Vicinae ships with powerful built-in modules, but the goal isn’t to make a clone. I want it to grow into its own project that fits the FOSS model better, while staying compatible with the Raycast ecosystem. I also plan to bring it to other OSes eventually.<p>I’d love feedback on the technical approach, and suggestions for what would make this useful to you. Contributions are very welcome — I’ve already been pleasantly surprised by how quickly people started helping.<p>Docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.vicinae.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.vicinae.com</a> Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vicinaehq&#x2F;vicinae" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vicinaehq&#x2F;vicinae</a>

[Other] Show HN: Superagents – connect spreadsheets to any database, API or MCP server Hi HN, I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourcetable.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourcetable.com</a>).<p>Today, we’re launching Superagents. You can now connect your spreadsheet to any database, API or MCP server on the Internet. All of that data is available inside your spreadsheet, and you can use AI to analyze it and build models, reports and visualizations.<p>The reason I started the company is because I spent 10 years at startups across engineering and operations roles and realized that Excel and Sheets weren&#x27;t architected for the modern information environment. This creates a tremendous amount of nuisance and busywork cobbling together SaaS tools, reporting suites, and the misery of endless coordination meetings to make it all happen. (Boo meetings!)<p>Spreadsheets aren’t just a business application: they’re the original thinking tool. The quality of these tools has a downstream impact on analytical thinking and creativity writ large, so this is a problem worth solving. Fast forward to today, we’re a 6 person team taking on Excel, Sheets and ChatGPT, so we’re excited to hear what you think!<p>Who are Superagents for? Analysts, operators, and anyone doing data-centric work in spreadsheets. We see a tonne of finance people, of course, but also students, researchers and mom &amp; pop shops. Sourcetable&#x27;s superagents democratize data access and analysis, which is nice because our company’s mission is to make data accessible to everyone.<p>Why “Superagents”? Because they can plan and orchestrate other task-specific agents to complete your work for you. We have a lot of different AI tools and agents inside Sourcetable, but there’s a whole lot more on the Agentic Web. Superagents are like the conductor that coordinates them all and calls on them when needed. Also, it’s a fun feature name (thanks, Alyssa!)<p>If you remember the linked-data dream of the semantic web movement, that future is now: all of your business data is available and connected in Sourcetable.<p>How does it work? Sourcetable is running a python virtual machine under the hood. Everything is sandboxed, and there are hundreds of AI tools and libraries our AI can access. Superagents are also doing code-gen on the fly to solve problems. The closest system we have found is Replit’s sandboxed operating systems. Beyond that Mixtral, ChatGPT and Anthropic offer some limited data connectivity features, except these AI chat services lack the storage, compute, and code execution that Sourcetable and Replit provide. This is all very new.<p>How is this different to your previous data connectors, etc? We started out using ETL services to sync data and provide a GUI-driven PowerBI like experience in your spreadsheet. This was useful for people who knew SQL and how to write joins to combine fragmented data, but for everyone else (read: practically everyone), this solution just didn’t provide the frictionless, self-serve experience that we wanted.<p>Our choices were to switch the GTM motion or change the product, so we shelved that reporting suite and focused on our AI spreadsheet and waited for models to catch up with our ambitions. Now that they have, we’re re-launching Sourcetable with our original goal in mind: building a spreadsheet-based operating system for the Agent Web, with fully networked data access for <i>everyone</i> on your team.<p>AI is the great UX enabler.<p>Caveats:<p>* We heavily use Postgres, Google Analytics, Stripe and Google Search Console with Superagents.<p>* We haven’t tested every endpoint on the Internet. We find that mainstream, well documented applications work best.<p>* Yes, you can write data back to 3rd party applications and databases. We generally advise against this unless you understand the risks involved in giving AI write-access to your data.<p>Bonus round:<p>* All data connectors added during this launch week are FREE. (Regular AI messaging limits still apply.)<p>Product Feedback? eoin@sourcetable.com
