Show HN: Excuse My French – an Open Source French-learning apphttps://excusemyfrench.org/hi HN! Many years ago (in 2018) I wrote a simple French-learning exercise generator in Javascript for my wife. I was looking for a way to generate as many exercises as possible for her to practice. The idea was being able to generate a huge combination of sentences and being able to transform them deterministically based on French grammar rules. The generation and transformation is rule-based (no LLMs back then).For example, we generate (using rule-based) :> Je mange une pommethen we ask the engine to transform it to past and replace the pronoun:> Je l'ai mangéeThen we compare with the user's answer.I recently picked the project back up, thanks to AI coding tools and some free time I improved the UI, added more conventional bits (flashcards, dictation, progress tracking, etc). I kept the core of it: the rule-based sentence generator, because it allows to generate extremely fast locally and in a controlled way.I pushed this new version on the same repository : https://github.com/Celebio

Launch HN: Vendo (YC S26) – Let users build features on top of your producthttps://github.com/runvendo/vendoHi HN, we’re Yousef & Nour, founders of Vendo (https://vendo.run). Vendo lets users create new features inside the software they already use. A user describes the dashboard, workflow, or small app they need, and Vendo builds it on top of the product’s existing data, API, and interface.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdpHehY64lsWe built Vendo because every SaaS eventually faces the same problem: every customer needs something slightly different. One wants a new report and another needs a workflow that only makes sense for their team. These requests either sit on the roadmap, become one-off engineering work, or force the customer into spreadsheets and external tools. We wanted the user to be able to create the missing feature themselves, without leaving the product.Here is how it works:- npx vendo init reads the product's API surface, theme, routes, and more. These are used so that the apps Vendo creates (1) look on-brand and native and (2) have the ability to read data and perform

Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yourshttps://pub.doub.ly/Hi HN, I built this. Quick background on why it exists:When music is streamed on digital streaming platforms (think Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora), there are two separate royalty streams: one for the recording, paid through your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CDBaby), and one for the underlying work (generally known as publishing). The work side's mechanical royalties are collected by The MLC, a nonprofit that was created by the 2018 Music Modernization Act (MMA). If you haven't registered your songs with The MLC, there are issues with your metadata, or about half a dozen other reasons, that money will never reach you, it just collects in a big pile we call the "black box".That pile is big. The MLC's own dashboard currently shows over $656M is held (themlc.com/blanket-royalties), and the biggest problem is the MMA dictates that The MLC cannot hold that money indefinitely. At some point, by law, The MLC must distribute this big pile of cash, and since they don't know who it's suppose

Show HN: LilScript makes JavaScript libraries smallerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374554https://yeargun.github.io/lilscript/LilScript is a typed, compression-first language that compiles into js and sometimes into exec(will be more stable in future). The compiler mangles, reshapes the program into optimized js that happens to be 5-15% smaller (after gzip/br compression or raw) compared to the best performing JS toolchains like oxc/esbuild/terser/..## What has been proven to work with LilScript?- makes VSCode's core js modules 20% smaller on average- makes the world's most performant & small markdown rendering npm library, marked, 5-7% smaller and 10% faster- and many more demos.. works with pretty much any js/ts library## How it is compressing js finer than vite/oxc/terser/esbuild/..### 1.

Show HN: Open-source tool turning company knowledge into Duolingo-like courseshttps://www.scibly.com/de/My buddy and I have been working on a side project for the past few months called Scibly.The idea is pretty simple:Companies already have an incredible amount of knowledge sitting in PDFs, documentation, internal wikis, etc. The problem is turning all of that information into something employees can actually learn from and retain.For this reason we decided to build Scibly, a tool that automatically turns boring company knowledge into interactive, Duolingo-like (but better) learning experiences.Today, we decided to open-source the whole thing.We're still pretty inexperienced when it comes to open source, so we'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether that's about the product, the idea, the codebase, or how we're approaching the project.Short product demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQwGithub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/sciblyWould love to hear what you guys think!

Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-devicehttps://simedw.com/2026/08/20/midi-autocomplete/I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device.The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffershttps://protobuf.com/Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.

Show HN: Lutefish Stream (Play Music over Internet)https://lutefish.com/Hey all, Disclaimer: I work on embedded software for Lutefish.tldr: If you have good internet and you live within 500 miles of somebody (and ISPs are feeling benevolent that day) you can play music together over the internet (for real tho).I know you've probably seen "make music over the internet but for real this time" presented from a handful of places over the years. We designed a PCB from scratch to tightly couple the audio and networking layers as close as we possibly could, and we are able to get latency numbers as low as 28ms using custom protocol (which allows for seemingly real-time performance with bandmates over the internet).Before you ask, no, it is not an audio interface also (we're working on it). Think of it more like, "point-to-point sound cards with a lot of control over your mix".Don't really know how to do self promotion, but we have devices for sale for $250 usually (rando $200 flash sales sometimes) and there's a $10 / month subscription (2 months free w/ purchase
