Show HN: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browserhttps://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js.Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software.Do you have use cases for this?We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially.Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/202608

We did a similar launch last year with Hack Club but this was our first independent launch.UpLink was a 491 gram payload testing the insulation properties of 3D printing filaments, while also transmitting 320x240 images over a radio link -- up from the 18x10 images last year!This is a writeup on our engineering process, mistakes made, and learning experiences. It covers:- Custom electronics designed in KiCad- Firmware design- Results from the data we received on the ground- Image transmission- Launch day logistics, and where things went wrongAll hardware, software, firmware, and CAD is available on GitHub: https://github.com/radeeyate/UpLink, licensed + certified as open source hardware: https://certification.oshwa.org/us002826.htmlIf you just want to see the images received, I put up a gallery here: https://uplink.gallery.radi8.dev/If you have any questions, comments, or concerns,

Ask HN: How to engage users in an open source project and when to stop?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377336I have been working on an OS project for years now, on and off, taking it back up for the last few months and giving it a good boost lately with AI. It has a super niche user base in quantitative finance.I really enjoy working on it, and although I get contacted every now and then by people who are using it or are interested in using it, and those are really interesting users, I always think I am wasting my time. It has been 8 years now since I started.I guess my questions are: is it worth it? And I know this question has two clear paths, the personal and the practical one, but I would like to hear from both. How can I know when to stop? If my audience is maybe in the order of two thousand potential users worldwide, how do I validate the idea? I have posted on Reddit and HN multiple times, tried LinkedIn, and that leads me to a handful of super interesting contacts, but I don't know if it is enough to keep going.

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

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: Markdown Buddy – Native macOS Markdown Editor with Quick Look and Xcodehttps://markdownbuddy.inawa.app/I write a lot of project documentation in Markdown, and two things kept annoying me on macOS: Quick Look shows .md files as raw text, and Xcode shows a README as plain source. So I built the app I wanted. Swift and AppKit, 4.8 MB, sandboxed. The editor is a plain NSTextView. The rendered view is WKWebView, so it uses the system engine rather than a bundled browser, which is where the size difference comes from. Quick Look and Finder thumbnails are separate app extensions sharing the same renderer.Beyond preview: open a folder as a workspace and browse every .md in a tree, search across all of them, and see a graph of the links between documents with broken ones flagged. An Xcode Source Editor extension opens the file you are looking at, rendered, from the Editor menu.One implementation detail I found non-obvious. The live preview restyles the NSTextStorage as you type. The hard rule is that it must never touch attributes while an input method is composing, or Japanese, Chinese and Kore

Show HN: Mail client optimized for self-hosted email across multiple domainshttps://mainly.crnst8.com/As someone with a clean IP range and ADHD, I manage my inbox by splitting across a variety of accounts for a variety of domains. I’ve never really found a client that scratches all my itches, so I spent some time making one and it’s now become my daily driver.It’s optimised to be visually simple and highly configurable for things like colour, folders/subfolders, sorting and tweaking the search query function to better match what you search for often. There’s also some little nice-to-haves like a purpose-built PWA, bulk domain onboarding, MCP and dark mode.It’s fully self-hostable, open source and free of any AI bloat/VC fodder. Not trying to sell anything but rather make something un-shitified and simple to use, would love some feedback if you’ve given it a try! :~)

Ask HN: We have company runway but not founder time. When do you go full-time?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49367763Three first-time founders in Canada, all of us between 45 and 55: business/product, marketing, and me on the technical side. We're building an AI tool for creative work. About thirty testers have been on a pre-production build for a couple of months. Feedback is good, and importantly is not from friends, but actual target users who we sourced through our networks, which I'm treating as encouraging signal on product-market fit.We're bootstrapped with CAD $25k initial commit and an additional up to $100k available, though we'd rather earn the right to spend each additional dollar than commit it up front. All three of us still have day jobs, cleared with our employers. At current near-zero usage we could run the service for ~18 months without revenue — that number obviously falls as real users arrive, which is part of the problem.So our constraint isn't the usual one. The company has runway; founder time doesn't. I built the platform, I'm the one who has to go full-time first, and I'm als
