klooj··on An iroh powered smart fan
iroh is a peer to peer networking technology so the project example of controlling a fan isn't so much about the fan but rather that it's controllable from anywhere through an esp32 microcontroller that can maintain a resilient connection endpoint even through power cycles and so on. I think iroh was posted about on HN a few weeks ago and I had a similar reaction of like...what in the world is this blog post even saying haha. But I found their docs page and found it pretty fascinating learning! https://docs.iroh.computer/what-is-iroh
klooj··on Aslan Browser: Open-sourced a macOS browser for AI agents
This is pretty cool. The accessibility tree method makes a lot of sense, I think that's how a bunch of other newer browser use tools work as well, albeit using chrome dev tools MCP or something. I suspect your solution is lighter and faster but would be cool to see a comparison. I imagine that's a relevant comparison people would make over comparing to playwright and puppeteer. Neat project though, and your prompts are code methodology is super interesting
