Re:React Flow, open source libraries for node-based UIs with React or ... on Friday October 24, 2025 @01:52AM (#45691246)
This is a great library. I especially appreciate that they added a version for Svelte (with specific examples for Svelte 5).

It's very convenient how you create the graph, with nodes just being Svelte components. Adding custom edges isn't very hard either.

If you're curious what you can do with it, I made this demo for myself https://youtu.be/aVY7ySPiSo8 (never launched it). I used Svelte Flow to visualize AI doing research, my first project using LLMs.

Re:Packing Multiple Services into One Rust Binary on Friday September 26, 2025 @07:57AM (#45385453)
Cool! I see someone else was quick to post this.

Hi everyone. I wrote this describing how I like putting more than one thing/service into my final Rust binaries (when applicable, e.g. smaller projects).

When people ask me what I like about Rust, I mention that you can do something like this, so I thought I'd write a post to illustrate it.

I especially think the frontend build embedding and TLS management are neat tricks.

This is my HN comment-to-post guesser game.I posted this back in 2022. It didn’t get much buzz, so I’m posting it again. :)I use it myself almost daily as a sort of Wordle alternative.It’s written with SolidJS, and I remember spending quite a while on the animations.I polished it primarily for mobile interaction.Let me know how many flips you get!

I don't have anything else plugged into the TV. If I had a PS5 I would have to jump back to Tizen OS, yes.

Kodi is definitely a very cool project.

I haven't used it much myself. How well does it work with streaming services? It seems like it's designed to be really good for offline content.

The benefit for me was that I already had an old laptop lying around. :)

I'm sure a Pi could work well for this too. It just needs to be powerful enough to display websites and videos smoothly.

I fully agree. It is currently very annoying to get a small island nation.
