Show HN: Gryt – self-hosted, open-source Discord-style voice chat
This weekend I finally shipped Gryt, a project I’ve been building since 2022 — an open-source, self-hostable Discord-style app focused on reliable voice chat + text.I’m the creator. I started it after getting fed up with Discord disconnects/paywalls and wanted something self-hosted and auditable.I started on this in 2022 and had an early proof-of-concept working back then (auth + friends list), but I quickly realized WebRTC voice isn’t something you can duct-tape together. I spent a big chu
Tell HN: Planning to end my life today
Tell HN: Going to end my life todayI'm 35 and I am going to end my life today. About year one ago I quit my job to work on my own startup (alone). Since then I made good progress in making the product, but very little in selling it. And there's competition in that space with newly-funded VC startups out-executing me. Shit I was so scared to contact my ICP to prospect and to sell -- I am ashamed at myself for messing this opportunity. I WASTED 10 MONTHS!!!! Also realized: it is an uphil
Show HN: Markdown specs that don't compile (Pandoc and SQLite for typed docs)
Hi HN, I wanted to write specs in plain Markdown but needed proper DO-178C traceability. At some point I joked: “we just need to marry Pandoc and SQLite.” This started as an internal tool for airborne software specifications and has been dogfooded for a couple of years. I think it’s finally in a state where it’s useful beyond our walled garden. It’s open source. It’s alpha. Rough edges everywhere..But it compiles its own docs, so you can clone the repo and start working immediately.SpecCompiler
Ask HN: Replacing RAG pipelines with a filesystem interface for AI agents
Every AI agent project I start ends up with the same boilerplate: chunk docs, pick an embedding model, set up a vector store, write retrieval logic, wire it into a custom tool.It works, but it's plumbing — and it needs to be rebuilt for every new agent or runtime.The idea I'm exploring: mount a drive at /drive/ with two directories:- /drive/files/ — actual documents (PDF, code, markdown, etc.)- /drive/search/ — virtual directory where the filenam

Show HN: Kinetic SQL – A lightweight, real-time SQL Engine for Node.js
Hi HN, I'm the author.I've spent years building Node.js backends (mostly Express and NestJS) and I’ve consistently found traditional ORMs like TypeORM too heavy, while Prisma’s subscription models didn't quite fit my need for lightweight CDC (Change Data Capture). I wanted something universal that felt closer to the metal but still handled real-time events seamlessly.Over the past couple of days, I built Kinetic SQL. It's a thin, highly flexible SQL wrapper for Node.js (suppo
