  1. Show HN: 26/02/26 – 5 songs in a day (playingwith.variousbits.net)

    I’ve been home alone today, so made myself a challenge to write 5 songs from scratch and then showcase them with a simple website and player. The music is all me, the website is Claude with me guiding design decisions.…

  4. Ask HN: Simplest, lightest way to sync a single file between Macs?

    The title says it. I've got a specific file in mind: I want to keep .ssh/config identical between my MBP and my desktop - but in general, what's the best / simplest way to do this? Would be great if it didn't use…

  5. Ask HN: Examples of lovely user interfaces on and off screen

    Hey HN - I'm on the lookout for lovely, surprising, intuitive, playful, fun "user interfaces". I'll take anything on a screen / touchscreen / mobile - but I'm also interested in "in the real world" examples - are there…

  7. Ask HN: Is federated / de-centralised ever going to make sense?

    With the obvious backdrop of The Reddit Thing going on, I've been poking properly into lemmy, kbin, mastodon, pixelfed, etc. I then had a quick look at nostr too. What strikes me quite forcibly is that although…

  8. Ask HN: 3k museums submitting data. How?

    I'm helping with a project that will see ~3k small museums submitting their collections data to a central data lake. It can be assumed that most museums struggle with technology and have little / no resource in-house.…

  9. Ask HN: Why the obsession with note taking?

    If there's one thing absolutely guaranteed to get a gazillion comments on HN, it's a post about either 1) note taking software, 2) note taking methodology 3) a combination of the two. I'm kinda fascinated by this, in…

  10. Ask HN: Topic Separation?

    I know HN doesn't support categories or tagging (and would imagine there has been long and drawn out discussions about why not?) - but one thing that strikes me is that often the most interesting discussions on here are…

  11. Ask HN: Why is everything changing too fast?

    I'm getting on (I'm nearly 50) - not a software dev (thank god) but more a project manager. I do a lot of the "knitting together" type work between developers, UX people, designers, content owners, etc. Until recently,…

  12. Ask HN: Is there an open source, hackable printer?

    Everyone knows that printers and printer companies are evil. But are there alternatives? I'm thinking replaceable parts, 3D printed components, "use any ink", hackable software, etc. Has this been tried and it's just…

  13. Ask HN: home filing

    What directory structure do you use for keeping your (life, personal, work) files in order? It's a new year and I'm thinking I need to do some reorganisation. Help!

  14. Ask HN: Medium sucks. Why does anyone use it?

    Every time I follow a link to Medium I can tell it's Medium even without looking at the URL. There's a long pause as the page fails to render. Then the fonts finally arrive, and then a blitz of popups and screen…

  15. Ask HN: Do you [bang]g as much as I do?

    I love DuckDuckGo but I can't help but notice how much I seem to need to slip across to Google by using !g. The results over there are [sadly] so much better for many things, and much as I want a privacy focused search,…
