It's pretty crazy how some video by a relatively small content creator snowballed into Cloudflare making meaningful changes and addressing platform issues

Show HN: Mirrow – Build SVGs with TypeScript, get syntax checking for free

https://mirrow.app/playground/

Mirrow is a TypeScript DSL that compiles to SVG with compile-time syntax checking and type safety. It reduces boilerplate while catching SVG errors before runtime. Key features:Attribute validation at compile time Inline events (on:click, @hover) Zero-config CLI: npx mirrow -i input.mirror -o output.svg Works as static SVGs or componentsPlayground: https://mirrow.app/playground GitHub:...

LLMs are only going to improve by fragmenting them into specialized systems for low parameter high performance results. We’ve reached the point where models will get smaller and more compact
Thanks so much for the encouraging words; I hope any devs who try it out will fix the pain points I have when writing my own SVGs. The project resonates from a love for SVGs so I hope any developers with that same love would be happy to follow along!

Show HN: Mirrow – TypeScript DSL for animated SVGs with compile-time checks

https://mirrow.app/playground/

Mirrow is a small TypeScript DSL that compiles to SVG. It aims to make SVG and animation simpler without JSX or hand rolled CSS.Highlights:- Compile time checks and attribute validation - Inline events like on:click and @hover - CLI to turn .mirrow files into static SVGs or use as componentsQuick try: npx mirrow -i example.mirrow -o example.svgPlayground:...

Legal: using your brain. Illegal: devices, collusion, past-posting, edge-sorting with marked cards. Juries know the difference.
Tried the demo on desktop. Processing took a few minutes for a standard JPEG, and when it "finished" the Download button redirected to an API endpoint that returned "invalid params," so I couldn’t save. Do you have client vs server details you can share? A visible progress indicator and an error toast with a retry link would help debug.
The UI is pretty cool; it could maybe benefit from a sort of breadcrumb tracker at the top for a more linear flow-state but the data visualization is seamless.
Notepad has always been about simplicity. Adding AI feels like bloat opposed to a feature users were asking for (or would ever want.) Local models are fine, but tying them to Copilot PCs or subscriptions just fragments the user base. If Microsoft wants this to stick, they should make it optional, and stop slowing down the tool people actually rely on.
Amazing project; I love the ambition and the TUI is gorgeous. Very neat! Mind if I ask; does the project have some analytics functions for logging network data? Thanks!
Re:Show HN: Zedis – A Redis clone I'm writing in Zig on Saturday September 20, 2025 @01:27AM (#45310652)
Looks like a cool project; does the project aim to fix anything existing about Redis or is this just a fun side project? Thanks

Amazing! Best of luck looks like an amazing project

Looks like it would be quite a handy tool for academics working with ArXiv papers together. Maybe lower friction to register, a live demo or at least a sign in with Google option may be beneficial? Do you have any plans to make it open source? Thank you and great work thanks for posting
Looks pretty neat, does it have any unique selling point compared to existing like GoatCounter? Are you intending on adding some CLI integration for visualizing the CSV on the fly? Thanks :)
Cool idea but I feel as if a demo may serve you well with a few gifs. Even just some sample site data would be cool. Cheers

Edit: I'm a tag curious, do you see Polaris as mainly packaging them together for convenience, or is there deeper analysis planned?
