Ask HN: Is it a good idea to add a Design your download page?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=479196076 Months ago, I created a website called Openbeam.cloud which lets users to transfer files up to 100 GB of files including entire folders, but all the downloading pages were looking very white, I could easily add ad different theme or a good design, but I thought adding a special feature of design your own downloading page,My idea is to let designers or developers to show their work in more creative way1. Like a 2D artist will be able to give preview as background to client in the downloading page. 2. Game developer can add a background image or a gif and icons of the game they developed,I wanted will give more creative liberty to designers or creative guys.Would anyone use this? What do you guys' thing?https://openbeam.cloudApr 27, 2026 9:52 AM

Show HN: Weekly Log, Old-school journaling social mediahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47843663Weekly Log is a minimalistic social media website designed for you to do journaling and creative writing.A lot of modern social media apps are set up in a way that addicts and detriments the users, meanwhile profiting off of their data. I really wanted to make a site that doesn't operate in that way.Some of its distinctions: - You can create one post per week. This encourages care and consideration. - Nobody knows who you follow or what posts you react to, besides you and the other user. These stats are personal, so people view your logs free of outside influence. - Posts are rich text-only, no images or videos, in an effort to reduce mental clutter. - Your feed only features users you follow, to give you increased control of what you see, unless you click the "global" checkbox to see all posts.quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CTnORsGnL8 overview page: https://www.weekly-log.com/about/overview---I have soft-launched this website, and a handful of my friends have signed up aApr 21, 2026 2:02 AM

Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47842292I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones.I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days.I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... looking, shooting, and moving on.I've been following Fujifilm cameras for awhile in this market, having read about them here a few years ago.

Show HN: Sfsym – Export Apple SF Symbols as Vector SVG/PDF/PNGhttps://github.com/yapstudios/sfsymI found myself reaching for SF Symbols' 'Copy Image As…' quite often during agentic design sessions, so I made a command-line tool that the agent can use by itself. It exports Apple SF Symbols as SVG, PDF, or PNG.The vector paths come directly from macOS's symbol renderer. Internally it reaches a private ivar on NSSymbolImageRep to get the CUINamedVectorGlyph, draws into a CGPDFContext, then walks the PDF content stream back out as SVG `d` commands. The output matches what the system draws, rather than an approximation traced from rasters.A few things about it:- Every subcommand accepts `--json`, and `sfsym schema` returns a machine-readable description of the whole CLI. - Symbol enumeration reads the OS's Assets.car BOM tree, so the list of 8,300+ names stays current with macOS updates without a version table in the binary. - Each SVG `` carries a `data-layer` attribute, so you can retheme in CSS without touching geometry.It's been saving me a bunch of clicking. Please let me know if Apr 18, 2026 3:44 AM

Show HN: I got tired of biased (all) news so I made Claude cosplay each sidehttps://iran.smlz.ioGot tired of reading news with a single bias so I built a thing. SMLZ spins up multiple AI agents via Claude SDK, each locked into a different analytical worldview, sends them off to do their own research from their own sources, then synthesizes everything into an intelligence report. No editorializing, just claims tagged [CONFIRMED] / [REPORTED] / [ASSESSED] and presented through 7 different lenses simultaneously. First instance covers the Iran-US-Israel conflict. Each topic gets its own subdomain and is fully independently configurable, so theoretically I keep adding topics forever or until I get bored. Runs on a single Hetzner VPS because I'm not made of money. Each full pipeline run is ~$30–45 (seven agents, synthesis, 9-language translation, images). Planning to hook up per-topic crypto donation wallets that automatically trigger a refresh if someone wants to force one, otherwise I'm running it once a day. Theoretically I could keep adding agents. More lenses, more sources, more sMar 27, 2026 6:03 AM
