    I'll start with a project by my friends:

    FXcursion is an STM32-based guitar processor prototype. It has 3 stereo inputs and outputs, builtin effects chain, looper and recording. It lacks proper user interface (we've found a designer last week, so it's in the works now!), and the hardware still needs a lot of changes, but I've been impressed with the progress so far.

    If you're into embedded stuff, some friends of mine are working on a guitar processor: https://github.com/Predtech4/FXcursion

    It's not ready for random contributions just yet I believe (needs a lot of refactoring, plus the hardware isn't finalized yet) but we're open for suggestions!

  • Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 May 2024
    In my project[1], I convert all user-uploaded images to high-quality webp and store them like that. I discard the original files after the conversion. I use imgproxy[2] to further resize and convert them on the fly for actual display.

    I don't do videos yet, but I'm kinda terrified of the idea of putting user-uploaded files through ffmpeg if/when I'll support them.

  • Why is no one making a new version of old Facebook?

    They do, or rather not old Facebook, but old VK: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

    As a bonus it's an ActivityPub enabled application, so any specific instance of it requires less work to get the network effect going. :)

    A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events.

    Not yet "ready" — 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now.

    I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

  • VSCode config to disable annoyances – telemetry, notifications, welcome pages

    Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well).

    I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

    I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account.

    I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for.

    I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

    It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

    I know of Smithereen[1] that is an attempt at a full fledged social network similar to VK on top of the ActivityPub vocabulary.
