Show HN: Reverse-engineered a gaming mouse's HID protocol to bring it to Linuxhttps://github.com/blak0p/attack-shark-linuxI’ve been reverse-engineering the HID protocol of an Attack Shark X6 gaming mouse (no official Linux support) using Ghidra and USB captures, and building a native Linux desktop app around it in Go + Wails, with a React frontend.The protocol itself is fairly advanced. DPI, RGB lighting, polling rate and button remapping are all documented at the protocol level. The app currently only exposes DPI configuration though, the rest is reverse-engineered but not yet wired into the UI.One piece is still unsolved: the macro report isn’t captured yet, so there’s no macro editor. If you’ve done HID/USB reverse engineering before, I’d appreciate a hand there.There’s also plenty of non-reversing work: building out the RGB/polling/remap screens in the frontend, implementing what’s already known in the Go backend, or testing on other Attack Shark models (X3, R1, X11) that likely share the same dongle and protocol.Happy to answer questions about the protocol work or the architecture in the comments.Aug 22, 2026 7:47 AM

Show HN: Anjadhe – privacy first AI assistant, no account, no server DBhttps://www.anjadhe.com/demoHi HN, I am Ram. For the last few months I have been building Anjadhe. It is a personal AI assistant for macOS. The main idea is simple: A macOS app where AI does the job of a personal assistant for the user. Not a chat only app where user needs to dig through chats to understand today’s schedule or a project they planned with the ai last week, but a canvas where the user and AI work together around basic tools.I started building this as DYI tool for myself, but at this point I see that its truly useful for me, so sharing with others to see if it can be useful to others too.Here is a quick Demo - https://www.anjadhe.com/demoWhat it can do today:- It reads your incoming email and files the important things: bills with due dates, renewals, receipts, deliveries. A bill becomes a task with a date, by itself. Two booking emails become one trip. - You set goals by talking to it, not by filling forms. It asks you questions, makes a plan with dated tasks. Later you can say "work got crazy, pusAug 22, 2026 2:12 AM
