Is it me or these have gotten very boring. We have 5 more points on xyzbench or whatever .

Bashed of comments here I checked https://www.basilisk-browser.org/ which is this bashed on looks great when you want lightweight browser to run on old laptops or whatever. Look like still some work being done looking at the repo (not a abandonware) I opened 20+ random tabs and ram usage still round gig, very nice I use old laptops to show some dashboards and stock ticker updates etc and I am fine with opening some trusted site or own designed dashboard in this thing even if underlying engine might not be secure ( worse case I mean I don’t know security/patches of underlying engine but it opened all random stuff I opened )

Let the guy cook, would be nice benchmark of llm nothing else. Damn I wish I had access to infinite tokens for crazy experiments like this.

born-jreon EmDash – A spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

i have been a admirer of wordpress plugin system and had been shouting for modern alternative with explicit capability model for sometime. I also have been building own composable app platform (not cms) and this looks kinda great actually.

Platform for running web apps.

Single static binary and SQLite

lua for now (WASM future)

DEMO:

born-jreon Show HN: Potatoverse, home for your vibecoded apps

:( ok

born-jreon Speculative Speculative Decoding (SSD)

i think this matters more for lower batch sizes (local llm and private enterprise deployment where there wont be big user at specific time for big batch size) going from mem Io bottleneck to compute.

born-jreon A simple web we own

Thanks cap'n-py. Yeah, I love Sandstorm. My goal is to be more portable, lighter, and a 'download binary and run' kind of tool. There are also other attempts around what I call the 'packaging with Docker' approach (Coolify, etc.), which are more attempts at packaging existing apps. But my approach—the platform—gives a bunch of stuff you can use to make apps faster, but you have to bend to its idiosyncrasies. In turn, you do not need a beefy home lab to run it (not everyone is a tinkerer). It's more focused, so it will be easier for the end user running it than for the developer.

born-jreon A simple web we own

I kind of resonate with a lot of things in the article. My own personal view is that we should make hosting stuff vastly simpler; that's one of the goals of my project, at least my attempt (self promo)

born-jreon Windows: Prefer the Native API over Win32

Don’t know about windows programming to give opinion but by the sentiment here maybe they should give dev to choose bashed on some comptime flag or sth and maintain two versions

born-jreon Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund

I am also building similar product but with different approach And just using SQLite for now but plan on adding Postgres support ( orm I am using supports it ) … but nowhere near production ready. Due to buzz around products like litestream I feel like just SQLite is also viable nowadays. I also have own cdc based replication thing wip but yeah just having fun stage

born-jreon Litestream Writable VFS

It also supports:

- webdav

- file

- SFTP basically ssh ( i have used tailscale and linux laptop ssh)

born-jreon Simple GIS on Potato

yeah, i was too bored this weekend and wanted some feedback on thing i was working on but it did not get that much traction.

Anyway i don't think this kind of idea has been tried that much. there are projects that try to wrap existing project in docker/helm thing but this is platform solely built for running apps, means platform give ton of stuff (auth,file management, websocket etc etc) and core app logic is really small (look at server.lua file).

this is thinking from of normal people (not tech enthusiast running homelab or what not) being able to run server apps with same ease as they install apps from playstore in their phone. (atleast that's the idea)

born-jreon Show HN: Potatoverse, Platform for Apps

PotatoVerse is a small app platform that hosts web applications with server-side code and frontend assets. Think of it as a hybrid between a CMS and Heroku-like PaaS, all in one binary.

born-jreon Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)

Platform for apps, currently Lua support ( future WASM). Think like apk (android app) but spk.zip that has server.lua file for backend and htmt/js/css that get served for front end plus platform gives Files, SQLite db (namespaced/scopped access ), Auth, User management All in single static binary Cz go

Edit: formatting

born-jreon LocalFirst: You Keep Using That Word

Instead of local first what if we wrote cloud first but cloud part is so easy to run that if you want to run just locally just run small “cloud” locally. My attempt

born-jreon Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS

There could be a way: This HTML-lite spec would be subset of current standard so that if you open this HTML lite page in normal browser it would still work. but HTML-lite browser would only open HTML-lite sites, apart from tech itch it could be used in someplace where not full browser is needed, especially if you are control content generation. - TV screens UI - some game engines embed chrome embed thing ( steam store page kind) - some electron apps / lighter cross platform engine - less sucky QML - i think weechat or sth has own xml bashed app froamework thing (so could be useful to people wanting to build everything app app platform - much richer markdown format ?
