    • Project mention: Ask HN: Nobody interested an open hardware iPod Nano? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-29

    So here is the thing: The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].

    Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.

    Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.

    So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the marked...

  • GLFW

    A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input

    • Project mention: macOS 14.4 causes JVM crashes | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-16

    Minecraft runs on various Javas.

    And there's a known issue with an interaction between minecraft, Java, and the video drivers that crashes out and it can be traced back all the way to here: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1997

    It's not fixed.

  • chafa

    📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.

    • Project mention: what terminal emulator would you recommend? | /r/archlinux | 2023-12-11

    Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

  • gpac

    GPAC Ultramedia OSS for Video Streaming & Next-Gen Multimedia Transcoding, Packaging & Delivery

  • zig-gamedev

    Main monorepo for @zig-gamedev libs and example applications

  • NyuziProcessor

    GPGPU microprocessor architecture

    • Project mention: FuryGpu – Custom PCIe FPGA GPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27

    There's also Nyuzi which is more GPGPU focused https://github.com/jbush001/NyuziProcessor, but the author also experimented with having it do 3D graphics.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • GCanvas

    A lightweight cross-platform graphics rendering engine. (超轻量的跨平台图形引擎) https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas

  • herebedragons

    A basic 3D scene implemented with various engines, frameworks or APIs.

  • HandmadeMath

    A simple math library for games and computer graphics. Compatible with both C and C++. Public domain and easy to modify.

    • Project mention: Trouble calculating projection matrix | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-06-20

    If you don't like using heavy libraries such as glm, I recommend looking at HandmadeMath. It is a single file c/c++ math library for graphics programming. You can just drop it into your project. It's lightweight and will save you a lot of time implementing the math yourself. In a lot of cases, it actually uses optimized solutions to save computation time (same with the glm).

  • lv_port_esp32

    LVGL ported to ESP32 including various display and touchpad drivers

    • Project mention: Show HN: FrameOS – operating system for single function smart frames | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03

    The ESP32 port of LVGL might be a different approach to what you're looking for. There are also ready made boards with included display:
