Show HN: EndBOX DIY Kit – A Basic Microcomputerhttps://www.endbasic.dev/endbox.htmlHello all!A month ago, I announced of a "little box" I've been working on to run EndBASIC, similar to the machines we played with in the 1980s. The box was briefly discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44253065 and I wasn't quite ready to properly launch it.Today, I'm still not ready to actually build and ship this box myself as I was previously thinking (and I'm not sure I'll even try to embark on that journey!), but I have finished preparing DIY instructions to build your own little machine.AND, as part of this, I've released the disk image with the tailored OS for the Raspberry Pi to run a BASIC system right at boot. In case you are curious, the OS is, essentially, a minimal NetBSD system customized with a build of the EndBASIC interpreter that leverages NetBSD APIs directly, bypassing the need for X11 to offer you a console very early in the boot.Links for the downloads in the instructions page!Hope you enjoy it.Jul 12, 2025 3:12 AM

Show HN: Downalytics – Track OSS binary downloads via custom domainshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44521995Hi HN,I’ve been working on Downalytics (https://www.downalytics.dev), a lightweight tool that helps open-source maintainers and small projects track binary downloads from GitHub releases. You route downloads through a generated or custom domain (via CNAME), and I log metadata like version, arch, OS, and country (where available). Think of it like a minimal redirector with analytics.It’s aimed at projects that publish binaries (e.g., via CLI tools), and want to understand which versions are being used, and where adoption is happening, without needing to host their own infra.Current features: GitHub OAuth to connect repos Tracked download URLs via CNAME or generated subdomain Basic dashboard with counts by version, platform, etc. Free OSS tier, small paid tier for custom domains/more projects A few things I’d love feedback on: Is this something you (or your project) would use? Would you be comfortable routing downloads through a third-party like this? Any blockers that would make you hesJul 10, 2025 3:17 PM

Show HN: Kuhnelo – An almost all-in-one Research Toolkithttps://kuhnelo.com/searchHello HN! Wanted to show an ‘almost’ all-in-one researcher’s toolkit that me and my buddy built up on the side as I was completing my PhD. I call it ‘almost’ because this toolkit was not intended to replace everything a researcher does, but rather it brings together some of the more disparate pieces of software and tools used in research. It was previously released to colleagues and friends as ProjectGIRAF (it’s an inside joke), and we’d love to get HN thoughts on it. Logins/signups are only needed if you want to use the library and search history functions, and it’s using Google sign-on through Kinde, so you don’t have to worry about another account to remember.What’s in Kuhnelo:1. A graph-and-vector search engine – the base database is pretty much OpenAlex, with search being parsed semantically. Currently results can be presented in terms of citations or recency, but we are testing a ‘relevance’ ordering based on our graph centrality measures.You can also click on the author labels tJul 2, 2025 2:28 PM
