Show HN: NoSignups – directory of open-source tools that run in-browser

from the show-hn dept.

I scoured Reddit for open-source tools that work instantly without downloads or signups. Started with only 33 tools, but thanks to open-source community, we reached around 200+ submissions within less than a month.None of the tools are made by me. I just collect them and make them searchable.The list itself is open-source and available at: https://github.com/BraveOPotato/FckSignupsAlso, thanks...

Now that I think about it, parallel makes more sense since it's GPU accelerated, but now I'm back to being confused lol

I don't believe trusting big brother and big tech is the solution either. Besides, even if it's open weight, it still runs on someone else's hardware.

Unless you have the money to run them locally, and if you do, you could do a lot worse than scams. Ask any lobbyist.

Shaders used to not make any sense to me. The tutorial writes a simple expression and boom the screen is displaying all kinds of funky things.

Then I realized you're just writing code that executes on all pixels sequentially. That made it easier to understand

I agree. I've seen it happen before on a project I use. I decided to take a look at the repo for one of the plugins, and I saw a heinous issue that basically was TELLING (not even asking) the maintainer to fix it.

Deplorable behavior indeed

I wish one day I could do cool stuff like that. Kudos!
