Show HN: Voltpeek – Vim-inspired oscilloscope software This is software for my headless, PC based oscilloscope, which is controlled entirely via commands similar to the Vim text editor. I built this because I liked the idea of headless oscilloscopes; I always have my laptop around when I’m working on electronics anyway, and it’s very convenient to save images of captured waveforms. However, I found the software for off the shelf models to be annoying and cumbersome to work with. In my experience, this holds true both when opening the software and connecting to an attached oscilloscope, and when adjusting the scope settings using menus and buttons. I have also built my own oscilloscope hardware for use with Voltpeek. The specs are nothing to write home about (7.5MHz BW, 62.5MS/s), but they should be adequate for some basic debugging and measurement tasks.

Show HN: ccrider - Search and Resume Your Claude Code Sessions – TUI / MCP / CLI

Show HN: ccrider - Search and Resume Your Claude Code Sessions – TUI / MCP / CLI I built a tool that stores your full Claude Code history to let you easily find and resume sessions. It has TUI, CLI and MCP interfaces. It's a single Go binary, and the session history is synced to SQLite each time you use it.Default mode is the TUI with a session browser and full-text search. Once a session is selected you can browse and search within it, resume it or export to markdown.The MCP server provides tools to let Claude search back through the session for pre-compact context or pull from prior sessions. I use this constantly.I've seen elaborate continuity systems to give Claude Code access to history but this simple approach has been very effective.Installation:macOS: brew install neilberkman/tap/ccriderLinux/other: git clone <a href="https://github.com/neilberkman/ccrider" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neilberkman/ccrider</a> && cd ccrider && go buildMCP server: claude mcp add --scope user ccrider $(which ccrider) serve-mcpSource: <a href="https://github.com/neilberkman/ccrider" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neilberkman/ccrider</a>

Show HN: OSS sustain guard – Sustainability signals for OSS dependencies

Show HN: OSS sustain guard – Sustainability signals for OSS dependencies Hi HN, I made OSS Sustain Guard.After every high-profile OSS incident, I wonder about the packages I rely on right now. I can skim issues/PRs and activity on GitHub, but that doesn’t scale when you have tens or hundreds of dependencies. I built this to surface sustainability signals (maintainer redundancy, activity trends, funding links, etc.) and create awareness. It’s meant to start a respectful conversation, not to judge projects. These are signals, not truth; everything is inferred from public data (internal mirrors/private work won’t show up).Quick start: pip install oss-sustain-guard export GITHUB_TOKEN=... os4g checkIt uses GitHub GraphQL with local caching (no telemetry; token not uploaded/stored), and supports multiple ecosystems (Python/JS/Rust/Go/Java/etc.).Repo: <a href="https://github.com/onukura/oss-sustain-guard" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/onukura/oss-sustain-guard</a>I’d love feedback on metric choices/thresholds and wording that stays respectful. If you have examples where these signals break down, please share.

Show HN: TinyPDF – 3KB PDF library (70x smaller than jsPDF)

Show HN: TinyPDF – 3KB PDF library (70x smaller than jsPDF) I needed to generate invoices in a Node.js app. jsPDF is 229KB. I only needed text, rectangles, lines, and JPEG images.<pre><code> So I wrote tinypdf: <400 lines of TypeScript, zero dependencies, 3.3KB minified+gzipped. What it does: - Text (Helvetica, colors, alignment) - Rectangles and lines - JPEG images - Multiple pages, custom sizes What it doesn't do: - Custom fonts, PNG/SVG, forms, encryption, HTML-to-PDF That's it. The 95% use case for invoices, receipts, reports, tickets, and labels. GitHub: https://github.com/Lulzx/tinypdf npm: npm install tinypdf</code></pre>
