Show HN: Modos Developer Kit Live on Crowd SupplyToday, we’re launching our first product on Crowd Supply: a fast, open-hardware dev kit for driving e-ink displays.It supports 75Hz refresh, both color and monochrome panels, and more.This all started with a post on Hacker News about building an e-ink laptop. That post led to conversations with makers, minimalists, and others exploring how e-ink could fit into daily life, or help with personal health challenges. From those conversations came a community, which grew into a project, became a company, and brought us to today’s launch.We bootstrapped from the beginning, pushing through COVID shutdowns, chip shortages, shipping delays, and adapting to every new challenge along the way.We haven’t built the e-ink laptop yet, but we’ve built a foundation for creating high-performance e-ink devices.We’re sharing our small contribution today in hopes that it helps make e-ink more open and accessible.Thanks for being part of the journey.

"A Crowd-Driven Platform That Lets People VoteHi everyone,I want to share a concept for a new type of product launch platform — one that flips traditional crowdfunding on its head and builds a direct connection between communities, inventors, and manufacturers.What is it? At its core, this is a democratic, crowd-driven product launcher platform. Instead of creators launching finished products for funding, this platform lets the community choose which ideas deserve to be turned into real, physical products — and then connects those ideas directly with producers who are ready to make them.How does it work? The platform involves three main groups:Idea contributors: Anyone can submit product concepts, prototypes, or modular technology ideas. These don’t have to be finished products — even early-stage concepts are welcome.Community voters: Users browse all submitted ideas and vote on what they want to see made first. Voting isn’t just a like button — it can involve prioritizing features, suggesting improvements, or pledging future supp

Building a Crypto-Based Crowdfunding Platform with DeFi RewardsHi HN,I’m working on a project that combines crowdfunding and crypto/DeFi in a single platform. The main idea is to let creators raise funds in stablecoins (e.g., USDT) while allowing backers (supporters) to earn DeFi interest and platform token rewards. Below is a high-level overview of the concept. I’d love any feedback, critiques, or suggestions from the community.1. What We’re Trying to Solve • Traditional Crowdfunding Issues: High fees, limited or purely symbolic rewards, and lack of transparency around how funds are managed. • Our Approach: Use stablecoins to mitigate price volatility, deposit them into reputable DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Compound) to generate yields, and share those returns with backers. This way, creators get funded while backers earn interest + extra perks.2. Key Features 1. Crowdfunding with Stablecoins • Fund campaigns using USDT (initially) locked for 1–3 months. • Deposited funds earn yield via DeFi during the campaign period. 2. Backer Rewards • DeFi In

Show HN: I made crowdwave – imagine Twitter/Reddit but every post is a voicemailHey it's Andrew - author of https://www.crowdwave.com here!- crowdwave works best on your phone - unless you've got your headset and microphone plugged in to your desktop, in which case desktop works great too.Here's the story:So about six months ago I saw this post on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39910119https://afterthebeep.tel is really cool - it's an anonymous voicemail box - you call the provided phone the number and leave a message. Blaine - the guy who runs the site (eventually) listens to and approves your message and writes a headline. It was fun, and I found I kept going back to it and listening to the messages. I left a message once and several weeks later it appeared on the site. Blaine, from comments I read, didn't seem in a hurry to take the site much further, which got me thinking...And I simply could not get one question out of my head - "what would happen if users could just hit record on their phone, instead of having to dial a phone number?".When I get a s
