Show HN: ReFlow Studio – An offline tool to dub, translate, and censor videosShow HN: ReFlow Studio – Local AI video dubbing and censorshipHi HN,I am the creator of ReFlow Studio, an open-source (MIT) desktop "uni-tool" for video creators. I built this because I wanted a way to handle the tedious parts of video editing—transcribing, dubbing, and censoring—locally, without relying on expensive, privacy-invasive cloud APIs.What it does:* Local Dubbing: Uses OpenAI Whisper for ASR and Coqui XTTS v2 for voice cloning. It is optimized for "Hinglish" (Hindi + English) content.* Auto-Censorship: Uses NudeNet (ONNX) to find and blur NSFW content in video frames and "bleeps" profanity in audio files.* 100% Offline: Once installed, no data leaves your machine. This was a priority for creators working with sensitive content.Technical Challenges: Distribution: Packing 5GB+ of AI models into a downloadable installer was a nightmare. I ended up using a split-binary Inno Setup approach to keep the download stable for users with limited bandwidth. UI Persistence: I just hit v0

Show HN: I made a portable tar package managerHey there! A few weeks ago I found myself having to install the Discord client through a tar.gz archive. Nothing outrageous of course, or so I thought: Discord updates are mandatory and the client refuses to launch if you don't upgrade, which in this case means re-downloading, re-unpacking, and setting up the desktop links all over again every 2-3 weeks. There a re solutions to this problem of course, namely the AUR, Flatpak, Snap, etc. but these, in my opinion, are just band-aids: the official package is only available as tar.gz and besides, there's tons of software that's too obscure to be in these formats (either because the developers don't care, don't know how, or can't package it in a dozen different formats).What I've made may not be the best solution, but in my opinion it may be about as good as it gets for installing these programs. Tarman can install packages from local archives, remote URLs, and using recipes (manifests) from repositories. Installed packages are stored in a
