Show HN: Phofee – Photography social platform built with Svelte 5https://phofee.com/Hello everyone! For the past few months I have been working on Phofee, a social platform for sharing high quality photos.The goal: Make a website that allows users to easily upload, share, and discover photos without having to sacrifice quality or mangle their images.Phofee allows users to upload multiple images of varying aspect ratios. All sub images in a single post are displayed in a small photo gallery, so all your photos can be seen at a glance.One of Phofee's unique features is the automatic extraction of photo metadata. When a user uploads a photo, metadata such as Camera Model, Lens, Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are displayed under your photo. This way, other photographers can gain better insight into your creation process and learn from it.For this project, I took privacy very seriously. - All metadata is deleted from user's photos before posting. - We store minimal user information. - We don't store user passwords (by using Google OAuth). - We don't use Google Analytics.Aug 18, 2025 1:18 PM

Ask HN: Does Microsoft gain anything from the constant annoying rebranding?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44930297I know no company or business in history that had the amount of rebranding that Microsoft did, initially I thought that the product manager there might have had an identity crisis, and he/she will be leave the position at some point and this it will be over. But this practice does not seem to end ever, which made me wonder if it is a company policy and it actually helps the business growth. Does any one of you know any possible business use to such intensive rebranding?Some of you might have not dealt with many Microsoft products so you might have not experienced examples of what I am talking about, so to name a few: * Azure Active Directory → Microsoft Entra ID (maybe the most horrible one of them) * Microsoft Threat Protection → Microsoft 365 Defender * Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection → Microsoft Defender for Endpoint * Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection → Microsoft Defender for Office 365 * Azure Advanced Threat Protection → Microsoft Defender for Identity Office prAug 17, 2025 9:48 AM

Bitcoin: The HEIST OF THE CENTURY – Is it a credible scenario?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44926596Once upon a time, there was a U.S. President who loved crypto.He wanted to build the world’s first Bitcoin Reserve.But… he couldn’t just buy BTC with public money. Too risky politically.So he asked his advisors:“What’s the best way to grow America’s Bitcoin stash?”Ideas flew across the room:“Launch more fraud investigations.” “Tax transactions and buy BTC with the proceeds.” “Use our energy to mine it.” “Seize it legally.”At that last suggestion, Trump slowly raised his head, eyes narrowing.And that’s how it all began…----------------But seizing BTC isn’t easy.Investigations are long. International cooperation? Messy.What if… the U.S. staged the theft themselves?Problem: stolen BTC must be returned to its rightful owners.Unless… those wallets belong to no one. Abandoned forever.A plan takes shape:1⃣ An “unknown actor” appears—hidden, shady, yet shielded by a big name: Salomon Brothers.2⃣ Over months, the narrative builds. Media outlets amplify it: “Abandoned wallets are a risk to BitcoAug 16, 2025 8:19 PM

Show HN: Sync your NPM packages to verdaccio with easehttps://github.com/limingcan562/sptv-cliIn everyday development, we sometimes need to develop in a highly secure environment. This leads to the existence of internal and external networks.The internal network cannot use npm for dependency installation. Imagine if we added a new project on the external network each time and needed to synchronize it with the internal network for development—would we have to package the entire node_modules directory and transfer it to the internal network? This is clearly impractical.The best approach is to set up Verdaccio on the internal network. Each time, we only need to synchronize our source code to the internal network. Therefore, managing dependencies between the internal and external networks becomes critical.Common Issues with Verdaccio Usage1. Manual publishing is cumbersome: Each package must be manually published to verdaccio using npm publish. When there are many packages, the workload is enormous, and the publication time is unpredictable.2. verdaccio may not display packages thaAug 13, 2025 6:07 PM

Show HN: Raspberry Pi with portable touch monitor with a single USB-C cablehttps://www.getubo.com/post/touch-display-on-raspberry-pi-with-a-single-usb-c-cableRaspberry Pi only exposes HDMI display ports.That means every time I want to connect a monitor to the Pi I have to power my monitor using a separate power adapter.I use portable monitors a lot and wished I could just use one USB-C cable to both power the monitor and send video signals.One of my portable displays also has touch support which works when I connect it to my Macbook.I wanted to also get touch display working with a single USB-C cable setup. This would allow me to put my Home Assistant dashboard on it and control everything with touch.So I embarked on a prototyping journey and got this setup working.I am designing a compact adapter board that will add this capability to Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.I am documenting my design and prototyping journey on my blog and Youtube.

We put AI models and builder tools in head-to-head comparisons that get voted on by real users from around the world. Think “Hot or Not” for the AI era :)(Btw, when we say real users we mean real users, so you may get a captcha on the site. Sorry, but we have to use every bot protection available! We only want human ratings, for obvious reasons.)Here’s a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPyEQnuVgeIWe didn’t set out to build this - we were actually working on an AI game engine. But we found that models sucked at look-and-feel. Even when the output code was usually functional, most visual aspects lacked the soul that makes great graphics feel alive.So we built a this-or-that game, just for ourselves, to figure out which generated outputs had the best graphics. To our surprise, that turned out to be more excitinAug 12, 2025 4:10 PM

Load your documents (PDFs, CSV, PPTs, Word Docs, etc) and make them searchable instantly. All your data stays private and encrypted.2. Choose latest open source LLM (Llama 4, Deepseek, GPT-oss, etc) to interact with your docs3. Access your hosted RAG via API - build your own custom front end or integrate with your existing product / service.[ Why we built it ] 1. I love Notebook LM, but it has limitations: - you stuck with using Gemini models - no API - I wanted to integrate my notebook with my other apps but couldn't2.

Show HN: Griddle – a daily logical deduction puzzlehttps://dailygriddle.comHey all, I made a daily logic puzzle as a passion project, and I'd love for you to test it.If you are interested, read on for a bit of a devlog and backstory.I have always been obsessed with logical deduction puzzles. These are my actual logic puzzle books from when I was 10 years old: https://i.imgur.com/h1HULLk.png I would spend hours doing these puzzles, and it's been on my backlog for a long time to make something that captures that feeling again.This particular kind of grid-based logic puzzle is sometimes referred to as "Einstein's Riddle" or "a zebra puzzle". There are other online implementations of these puzzles but I personally either disliked the UX or disliked the format of the clues. For Griddle I opted for a more abstracted format, using emoji-style SVGs. So, if the categories are 'job' and 'pet', a simple clue like [Astronaut is Dog] would mean that The job 'Astronaut' has a one-to-one relationship with 'Dog' from the pet category.Getting it to play nicely on mobile was aAug 12, 2025 2:17 PM
