Show HN: RFC Hub I've worked at several companies during the past two decades and I kept encountering the same issues with internal technical proposals:

- Authors would change a spec after I started writing code

- It's hard to find what proposals would benefit from my review

- It's hard to find the right person to review my proposals

- It's not always obvious if a proposal has reached consensus (e.g. buried comments)

- I'm not notified if a proposal I approved is now ready to be worked on

And that's just scratching the surface. The most popular solutions (like Notion or Google Drive + Docs) mostly lack semantics. For example it's easy as a human to see a table in a document with rows representing reviewers and a checkbox representing review acceptance but it's hard to formally extract meaning and prevent a document from "being published" when criteria isn't met.

RFC Hub aims to solve these issues by building an easy to use interface around all the metadata associated with technical proposals instead of containing it textually within the document itself.

The project is still under heavy development as I work on it most nights and weekends. The next big feature I'm planning is proposal templates and the ability to refer to documents as something other than RFCs (Request for Comments). E.g. a company might have a UIRFC for GUI work (User Interface RFCs), a DBADR (Database Architecture Decision Record), etc. And while there's a built-in notification system I'm still working on a Slack integration. Auth works by sending tokens via email but of course RFC Hub needs Google auth.

Please let me know what you think!

Show HN: Rust/WASM lighting data toolkit – parses legacy formats, generates SVGs Hi HN, I&#x27;m Holger, a developer who worked in the lighting industry.<p>I built this to scratch my own itch and put it on crates.io and PyPI where nothing like it existed.<p>The old file formats (EULUMDAT from 1990, IES from 1991) still work fine for basic photometry. But the industry is moving toward spectral data – full wavelength distributions instead of just lumen values.<p>The new standards (TM-33, ATLA-S001) are barely supported by existing tools.<p>So this handles both: legacy formats for compatibility, spectral data for anyone who wants to work with the new standards.<p>Stack: Rust core, then UniFFI for bindings. One codebase compiles to WASM&#x2F;Leptos, egui, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, PyO3.<p>At one point the generated Swift boilerplate got so large GitHub classified it as a Swift project. 3D viewer is Bevy, loaded on-demand.<p>Feedback welcome – especially on the SVG output and the 3D viewer.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;holg&#x2F;eulumdat-rs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;holg&#x2F;eulumdat-rs</a> (MIT&#x2F;Apache-2.0)
