[Other] Show HN: A Raycast-compatible launcher for Linux Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;m a huge fan of Raycast, but as a Linux user, I was always disappointed it wasn&#x27;t available on my main OS. This summer, I decided to just build it myself. This project has the goal of being interoperable with Raycast itself, including a majority of the extensions.<p>It&#x27;s built with Tauri and Rust on the backend, with a Svelte frontend. The biggest challenge was getting it to run existing Raycast extensions, which required building a custom React renderer as well as making a custom API.<p>I also wrote a quick post, which I hope to expand on in the future, about this project. You can find it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;byteatatime.dev&#x2F;posts&#x2F;recreating-raycast" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;byteatatime.dev&#x2F;posts&#x2F;recreating-raycast</a><p>The project is still very rough, but I&#x27;m sharing it now to get any feedback you may have!

[Other] Show HN: I made a JSFiddle-style playground to test and share prompts fast I built this out of frustration as I lead the development of AI features at Yola.com.<p>Prompt testing should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally somthing I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team. But every tool I tried hit me with a clunky UI, required login and API keys, or forced a lengthy setup process.<p>And that&#x27;s not all.<p>Then came the pricing. The last quote I got for one of the tools on the market was $6,000&#x2F;year for a team of 16 people in a use-it-or-loose-it way. For a tool we use maybe 2–3 times per sprint. That’s just ridiculous!<p>IMO, it should be something more like JSFiddle. A simple prompt playground that does not require you to signup, does not require API keys, and let&#x27;s experiment instantly, i.e. you just enter a browser URL and start working. Like JSFiddle has. And mainly, something that costs me nothing if I&#x27;m or my team is not using it.<p>Eventually I gave up looking for solution and decided to build it by myself.<p>Here it is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;langfa.st" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;langfa.st</a><p>Help me find what&#x27;s wrong or missing or does not work from you perspctive.<p>P.S. I did not put any limits or restrictions yet, so test it wisely. Don&#x27;t make me broke, please.

[Other] Show HN: BinaryRPC – Lightweight WebSocket-based RPC framework in modern C++ Hi HN,<p>I’m a recent CS graduate. During the past few months I wrote BinaryRPC, an open-source RPC framework in modern C++20 focused on low-latency, binary WebSocket messaging.<p>Why I built it * Wanted first-class session support, pluggable QoS levels and a simple middleware chain (global, specific, multi handler) without extra JSON&#x2F;XML parsing. * Easy developer experience<p>A quick feature list * Binary WebSocket frames – minimal overhead * Built-in session layer (login &#x2F; reconnect &#x2F; heartbeat) * QoS1 &#x2F; QoS2 with automatic ACK &amp; retry * Plugin system – rooms, msgpack, etc. can be added in one line * Thread-safe core: RAII + folly<p>Still early (solo project), so any feedback on design, concurrency model or missing must-have features would help a lot.<p>Thanks for reading!<p>also see &quot;Chat Server in 5 Minutes with BinaryRPC&quot;: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@efecanerdem0907&#x2F;building-a-chat-server-in-5-minutes-with-binaryrpc-qos2-session-management-and-room-plugin-ccb66d722466" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@efecanerdem0907&#x2F;building-a-chat-server-i...</a>

[Other] Show HN: RULER – Easily apply RL to any agent Hey HN, Kyle here, one of the co-founders of OpenPipe.<p>Reinforcement learning is one of the best techniques for making agents more reliable, and has been widely adopted by frontier labs. However, adoption in the outside community has been slow because it&#x27;s so hard to implement.<p>One of the biggest challenges when adapting RL to a new task is the need for a task-specific &quot;reward function&quot; (way of measuring success). This is often difficult to define, and requires either high-quality labeled data and&#x2F;or significant domain expertise to generate.<p>RULER is a drop-in reward function that works across different tasks without any of that complexity.<p>It works by showing N trajectories to an LLM judge and asking it to rank them relative to each other. This sidesteps the calibration issues that plague most LLM-as-judge approaches. Combined with GRPO (which only cares about relative scores within groups), it just works (surprisingly well!).<p>We have a full writeup on the blog, including results on 4 production tasks. On all 4 tasks, small Qwen 2.5 models trained with RULER+GRPO beat the best prompted frontier model, despite being significantly smaller and cheaper to run. Surprisingly, they even beat models trained with hand-crafted reward functions on 3&#x2F;4 tasks! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpipe.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ruler">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpipe.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ruler</a><p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;OpenPipe&#x2F;ART">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;OpenPipe&#x2F;ART</a>

[Other] Show HN: Open source alternative to Perplexity Comet Hey HN, we&#x27;re a YC startup building an open-source, privacy-first alternative to Perplexity Comet.<p>No invite system unlike bunch of others – you can download it today from our website or GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browseros-ai&#x2F;BrowserOS">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browseros-ai&#x2F;BrowserOS</a><p>--- Why bother building an alternative? We believe browsers will become the new operating systems, where we offload much bunch of our work to AI agents. But these agents will have access to all your sensitive data – emails, docs, on top of your browser history. Open-source, privacy-first alternatives need to exist.<p>We&#x27;re not a search or ad company, so no weird incentives. Your data stays on your machine. <i>You can use local LLMs with Ollama</i>. We also support BYOK (bring your own keys), so no $200&#x2F;month plans.<p>Another big difference vs Perplexity Comet: our agent runs locally in your browser (not on their server). You can actually watch it click around and do stuff, which is pretty cool! Short demo here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;browserOS-demo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;browserOS-demo</a><p>--- How we built? We patch Chromium&#x27;s C++ source code with our changes, so we have the same security as Google Chrome. We also have an auto-updater for security patches and regular updates.<p>Working with Chromium&#x27;s 15M lines of C++ has been another fun adventure that I&#x27;m writing a blog post on. Cursor&#x2F;VSCode breaks at this scale, so we&#x27;re back to using grep to find stuff and make changes. Claude code works surprisingly well too.<p>Building the binary takes ~3 hours on our M4 Max MacBook.<p>--- Next? We&#x27;re just 2 people with a lot of work ahead (Firefox started with 3 hackers, history rhymes!). But we strongly believe that a privacy-first browser with local LLM support is more important than ever – since agents will have access to so much sensitive data.<p>Looking forward to any and all comments!

[Other] Show HN: Typeform was too expensive so I built my own forms Hey HN,<p>I&#x27;m a solopreneur and run a web design agency.<p>I create open-source apps, but I also work as a freelancer and designer. I was accepting any new freelance project via forms on my agency website.<p>I was using Typeform, but as time went by and more people submitted forms, it got more and more expensive. That time, I thought to use Google Form, but it was way too blocky and looked very unprofessional on my agency website.<p>So I thought to build my own forms for my own usage, and it turns out it almost doubled form submissions and inquiry calls.<p>I was happy, so I thought to build it for everyone and make it open-source.<p>I added AI functionalities using Vercel AISDK. I can generate forms almost instantly using AI and also added analytics AI so that users can talk with their forms—more like talk with their analytics data.<p>I&#x27;ve been building this publicly, sharing updates on my X account (preetsuthar17)<p>I hope this product will be as helpful to you as it was for me.

[Code Quality] Show HN: I rewrote an outdated React Native map clustering library Hey Hacker News,<p>I&#x27;m a long-time lurker and wanted to share a project I just finished building.<p>Like many React Native developers, I needed to add marker clustering to a map in my app. The most popular library for this, react-native-maps-clustering, was fantastic in its day but has become outdated and no longer works with modern versions of Expo, React Native, and their dependencies.<p>After hitting a wall of compatibility issues, I decided to take on the challenge of rewriting it from the ground up, focusing on a modern toolchain and a better developer experience.<p>The journey was a lot more challenging than I anticipated. It turned into a deep dive into solving dependency hell with different versions of @types&#x2F;react, wrestling with build tool configurations for pnpm, bob, and ESLint, and ensuring everything was strictly typed with TypeScript. It felt like a classic case of yak shaving, but I was determined to create a solution that &quot;just works&quot; for developers today.<p>The result is RN Super Cluster, a performant, fully-typed, and easy-to-use clustering library for react-native-maps.<p>What it does: It provides a &lt;ClusteredMapView &#x2F;&gt; component that you can use as a drop-in replacement for the standard &lt;MapView &#x2F;&gt;. Any &lt;Marker &#x2F;&gt; components you place inside will be automatically clustered.<p>Key Features:<p><pre><code> Modern &amp; Maintained: Built with a modern toolchain and designed to be actively maintained. Fully-Typed: Written entirely in TypeScript to prevent common errors and improve autocompletion. High-Performance: Uses supercluster under the hood for extremely fast geospatial clustering. Spiderfier: At the maximum zoom level, overlapping markers automatically &quot;spiderfy&quot; (spread out on a spiral) so they can be individually tapped. Customizable: You can provide your own custom components for rendering clusters, and callbacks for handling press events. </code></pre> This was a passion project born out of necessity, and I hope it can save other React Native developers the headaches I went through.<p>I would love to get your feedback, and contributions are more than welcome!<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;suwi-lanji&#x2F;rn-maps-clustering">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;suwi-lanji&#x2F;rn-maps-clustering</a> NPM: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npmjs.com&#x2F;package&#x2F;rn-maps-clustering" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npmjs.com&#x2F;package&#x2F;rn-maps-clustering</a><p>Thanks for checking it out!

[Other] Show HN: Smart Switcher - data driven tool to improve the window switching Hello, my name is Andrew. I&#x27;m an indie developer and I&#x27;m excited to release Smart Switcher for Windows 10&#x2F;11. I&#x27;m looking for feedback on the overall project and the application itself.<p>I built this because I couldn&#x27;t find a window switching&#x2F;management solution that worked for me. I tried all kinds of different solutions, virtual desktop extensions, obscure GUI window managers, you name it. Overtime I realized I wanted something that prioritizes one window at a time, is keyboard driven with has minimal if no GUI elements. I figured this part out, but knew something was missing. I had my eureka moment when I realized I could combine my switching method with a prediction algorithm. This led to the creation of Smart Switcher.<p>Smart Switcher is a data driven window switcher aimed at improving the overall window switching experience. It logs data on your windows switching, then a prediction algorithm analyzes this data and uses it to predict which window you would want to switch to next. When you need to switch windows, you press the switch shortcut to switch to the next predicted window. If this isn&#x27;t the window you wanted, press the override shortcut to switch to the next most likely window. You can press the override shortcut as many times as needed until you arrive at your desired window.<p>It’s a paid app with a demo and trial version. There is a introductory discount and some additional discount tiers for early adopters.<p>Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

[Other] Show HN: OffChess – Offline chess puzzles app Hi HN!<p>I&#x27;m the developer of rdx, a mildly popular ad-free, privacy and user friendly Reddit client. This time, I made something for a very specific use case: solving chess puzzles with no internet.<p>Why? Well, my Wi-Fi is terrible in the bathroom—and that&#x27;s where I do some of my best thinking. I tried printing out “mate in X” puzzles to solve offline, but they weren’t fun without interaction. So I built OffChess.<p>OffChess is an iPhone&#x2F;Android app that contains over 100,000 chess puzzles, fully offline and completely ad-free. You can solve puzzles by category (Mate in 1&#x2F;2&#x2F;3&#x2F;4&#x2F;5, tactics like pins&#x2F;forks&#x2F;skewers, or openings like Sicilian&#x2F;French, etc). You gain or lose points based on how you perform, so there&#x27;s a light rating system to keep things engaging.<p>No accounts, no tracking, no monthly subscriptions, no internet required. Just pure, old-school tactical chess training, wherever you are.<p>You can check out the iPhone&#x2F;iPad app at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;chess-puzzles-offchess&#x2F;id6744736661?platform=iphone">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;chess-puzzles-offchess&#x2F;id67447...</a> or the Android app at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.offchess">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.offchess</a><p>Would love feedback, bug reports, or suggestions.<p>Thanks!

Octelium, as described more in detail in the repo&#x27;s README, is simply an open source, self-hosted, unified platform for zero trust resource access that is primarily meant to be a modern alternative to corporate VPNs and remote access tools. It can operate as a remote access&#x2F;corporate VPN (i.e. alternative to Twingate, Tailscale, OpenVPN Access Server, etc...), a ZTNA&#x2F;BeyondCorp platform (i.e. alterntive to Cloudflare Access, Teleport, Google BeyondCorp, etc...), and it can also operate as an API&#x2F;AI gateway, an infrastructure for MCP and A2A architectures and meshes, an ngrok alternative, a homelab infrastructure or even as a more advanced Kubernetes ingress. It&#x27;s basically designed to operate like a unified Kubernetes-like scalable architecture for zero trust secure&#x2F;remote access that&#x27;s suitable for different human-to-workload and workload-to-workload environments.
