I built FrontBack Scanner to quickly digitize printed photos. It automatically detects and crops photos using ML, pairs front and back scans to preserve handwritten notes, and stitches oversized photos from multiple scans. Free Mac and Windows app. Everything runs locally, no account needed. Would love feedback from anyone tackling a box of family photos. This is the part of AI coding that excites me, niche software is cheap enough to create where it can be offered for free. AI should make ordinary life easier, not just make it easier to create another subscription. Comments URL: https://news…

Hi HN, I’m the author of SimpleW, an MIT-licensed .NET web server for standalone or embedded applications. I shared it here last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44797834 ). Since then, I’ve rewritten it from scratch, removing the NetCoreServer dependency. The biggest change is the addon architecture: the core stays small, with no third-party dependencies, and you add what you need (JWT, OpenID Connect, automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates, Swagger, Razor, dependency injection, or logging integrations). Even the network engine is replaceable, with an optional io_uring addon f…

It supports Claude, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode, with project and task notes, file editing and Git diffs available in the workspace. The app is built with Rust and React.

Hello, Thread to Self was created because I wanted a way to capture thoughts (random or otherwise) in a single stream. I didn't want to have to deal with folders or tags or any other type of organization took that would make it become an admin heavy burden. This is a naive IOS and local first, so no accounts, no metrics and no mining. It's you and your thoughts. I did use AI to build this but it was not a 1 day endeavor. To get her took months of building and refining. I use it daily (in fact multiple times a day) but want to see if other people would actually want to use it. Where are the pa…

For those younger than me, Kroz was Apogee's first game, a text-mode dungeon crawler from 1987. Apogee released the Turbo Pascal source under GPL in 2009. I ported the 1990 episode (Lost Adventures of Kroz) to the browser. No dependencies typescript. Some interesting tidbids I learned: The game's clock is its sound :-) Turbo Pascal's delay() blocks, and the sound effects are built out of delays, so a footstep is an 8 ms tone, 120 ms of silence, another 8 ms tone. That silence is the turn. You can't outrun Kroz by mashing keys because every move costs the length of its own beep. In the port a…

Like any side project, Remarc started with my own problem: there was no good way to give AI coding agents contextual feedback on their own output. There are plenty of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly few for collaborating with AI. Chat was not cutting it for the feedback I wanted to give: This thing in the implementation plan? Change it to that. What did you mean here? See this button? Here is a screenshot. I circled it because it is missing a hover state. This sentence in the third paragraph? Rephrase it. If you are an opinionated builder, this gets clunky quickly. You e…
