Project mention: The Conductor Rewrite: What They Changed to Make It Fast | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-11
Surprised to see they kept Tauri. In our experience of using Tauri, it has been a significant source of compatibility and performance issues related to it's use of WebKit and WebKitGTK. So much so that we have started an effort of migrating away from it for our app, in favor of Electron (https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/tree/master/apps/l...)

Project mention: Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-26
The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.
https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server
The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.
There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro
But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.
The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.
Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.
There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

FlyingCarpet
Cross-platform AirDrop. File transfer between Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows over ad hoc WiFi. No network infrastructure required, just two devices with WiFi chips (and optionally Bluetooth) in close range.
Project mention: Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-28For true crossplatform p2p the closest I have found is FlyingCarpet [1].
But it is not super reliable or friendly.

GlobalProtect-openconnect

Tauri's notification plugin can show notifications, but desktop click handling was not there in the way I needed. There's something called the Actions API that allows you to attach callbacks to notifications, but the docs mark it as mobile-only, which was strange.

Project mention: Voidtools Everything – Locate files and folders by name instantly | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-08
https://github.com/cardisoft/cardinal
It's slower to start-up but just as useful once running. There are a few Mac oddities like OneDrive files appearing twice because macOS is convinced they exist in two locations, but that's a minor annoyance.

kftray
kubectl port-forward manager and reverse tunnel (ngrok-like) for exposing local services publicly, with TLS termination, HTTP traffic inspection, UDP forwarding, multi-hop proxy routing through k8s clusters, stateful config via filesystem or git - GUI and TUI available
Project mention: A cross-platform system tray app and CLI for Kubernetes port forwarding | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-05 -
Project mention: PyWry: Cross-Platform Rendering Engine in Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-28
I had a poke around in the wheel and it looks like a lot of the heavy lifting is done by this 30.8MB binary file:
pywry/_vendor/pytauri_wheel/ext_mod.cpython-310-darwin.so
Looks like that's vendored from this project: https://github.com/pytauri/pytauri
