Re:Pixelnet – The social network for game developers on Sunday May 31, 2026 @05:40PM (#48350018)
Welcome! Pixelnet is primarily a platform for game developers needing help, you can screenshot your game or DM other game developers for help with your code, follow tags, and share photos and posts with other game developers!

For Web Developers Introducing Pixelnet Logins API docs: https://pixelnet.flarum.cloud/p/developers

Plans on expanding Pixelnet to more topics Pixelnet will get expanded to more topics as it grows, so Pixelnet won’t be centric to 1 topic in the future!

Re:BNoise – The Easiest Music Maker on Sunday May 24, 2026 @01:06AM (#48254563)
You simply move sliders, click play, and music plays. The sliders are: Mood, Complexity, and Energy, along with Evolution, Athemic, and Listener Length, so you can control how long your songs are. This is better than generative AI because generative AI often trains on other music which causes copyright issues in some cases. What makes it better is that compared to a traditional music generator, you can change your instrument styles (simply click on a LED-style instrument and click on the instrument style)

Love to all of the bNoise creators.

Ignore all the "pay to get credits" platforms, the pay to become a label, what if there was a platform without all the payments! And thats what we thought... Introducing LabelCompass, we removed all the bad stuff and made a good website for record labels!

Re:Flicker: Upload Videos for Free on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @08:28PM (#46969606)
In the era of YouTube's bad moderation, Flicker fixes that, Flicker is a platform meant for you, without hype at all, it features interactive videos, because its actually a powerpoint presentation others can comment on, and a powerpoint presentation thats public, Flicker is meant to be fun, where you can express yourself without bad moderation banning you for no reason.

Re:Essential CDN: The CDN that lets you do more than JavaScript on Saturday February 07, 2026 @10:13PM (#46930985)
Hi Hacker News — I’m releasing *Essential CDN (E.CDN)* as a beta.

Most developer CDNs stop at JavaScript. E.CDN is meant to be a simple, versioned “app-store CDN” for *more than JS*, including:

* *JS libraries* (e.g., jQuery versions side-by-side) * *Scripts that can run in the terminal from a site without downloads.*

Everything is served with predictable, versioned paths so you can pin exactly what you want.

I also built *Essential Jaws (ejaws)*: a tiny runner that lets you stream a script from the web and execute it immediately from one terminal session (no saving an installer script to disk first).

*Examples*

JS Libs:

```html <script src="https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/jquery/4.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script> ```

Essential Jaws 1:

```powershell # Windows (recommended): stream and run ejaws iwr -useb https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/ejaws/1.0.0/ejaws.... | iex ```

Repo / docs:

```text https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/essential.cdn ```

It’s beta, so I’d love feedback on: URL conventions, what packages/tools to add next, and what would make you trust a “stream-to-run” workflow more (checksums, signatures, pinned tags, etc.).

Here are a list of repositories on Fire19: Fire19: https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/jaguar API (deprecated): https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/jaguarapi If you do not know, Fire19 is a DNS (folder-based DNS) to publish websites.

The popular photo sharing platform gets open sourced due to issues

The issue was that Netlify, the hosting service, blocked the platform due to the free domain

Netlify's free tier used to not have credits, but then they added it, and it makes the platform less accessible to users

Users wouldn't like if they saw the site was deleted,

This means more users leaving, and less users using StudioArt Why this is bad

StudioArt is a popular photo sharing platform, and if Netlify blocks it, it will be less accessible to users What we are doing about it

GitHub Pages is a free hosting service that we are using to host StudioArt now

Open sourcing StudioArt will allow anyone to contribute to the platform and make it better

StudioArt is now open sourced on GitHub, and anyone can contribute to the platform

We open sourced it due to issues with Netlify's free tier, and that GitHub Pages is free with open source projects.

Re:Show HN: StudioArt, A photo sharing website for creatives on Saturday December 13, 2025 @01:36PM (#46256799)
Regular social media and the platform is different cause social media (most popular ones) has worse moderation because 1, they want profit, 2, they cant manage really popular platform (like lets say, 1 billion posts), and poor working conditions, or when you post something (like to do harm-reduction) gets removed due to the content shown in it

Show HN: StudioArt, A photo sharing website for creatives

https://atstudioart.netlify.app/

Not to be confused with the other StudioArt, StudioArt is a website where you can ACTUALLY express creativity, in a world filled with "uncensored" or corporate censoring, it can be hard to find a good website where you can express creativity, with StudioArt, you can ACTUALLY express what you love in a image, we still censor, but not too much where your ideas just.. go away- What you love: We...

*`system` – Tiny OS Utils for Isolated Cmds & Info*

```python import shlex, os, uuid, psutil, requests from ipaddress import ip_address from typing import Optional ```

*Globals* - `id = uuid.uuid4()` → session UUID - `uid = str(id)` → temp dir `./{uid}/` - `parts = psutil.disk_partitions()` - `usage = psutil.disk_usage("./")`

---

### `run(cmd: str = "True")` Executes `cmd` in isolated `./{uid}/cache.sh`, auto-cleans. Uses `shlex.quote()` → injection-safe. ```python run("ls -la") ```

---

### `getoutput(label: str = "True") -> str` Runs `label`, captures *stdout+stderr* → `output.txt`, returns stripped string. ```python getoutput("uname -a") # "Linux …" ```

---

### `py(cmd: str)` Writes `cmd` to `cache.py`, runs via `python`. Prefer native Python. ```python py("print(42)") ```

---

### `install(manager: str, pkg: str)` `sudo {manager} install {pkg}` – *needs passwordless sudo*. ```python install("apt", "vim") ```

---

### `ip() -> ipaddress.ip_address` Public IP via `https://ifconfig.me`. ```python ip() # IPv4Address('203.0.113.42') ```

---

*Lifecycle* 1. `mkdir ./uid/` 2. Write → exec → capture (if any) 3. `rm -rf ./uid/`

*Deps* `pip install psutil requests`

Re:Mercury: A VCS easier than Git on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @02:07PM (#46061174)
Mercury VCS

Mercury VCS is a lightweight, beginner-friendly version control system with features Git doesn’t natively provide. It focuses on simplicity, workflow control, and commit rules enforcement for teams or solo developers. Features

    Commit Rules Enforcement – Define rules for commit messages or file structures to maintain a clean and consistent repository.
    Simplified Versioning – Create unique versions with new-ver and automatically prevent duplicates.
    Beginner-Friendly CLI – Commands are easy to remember and use:
        commit <file> – Save a file (or files) to Mercury.
        commit-msg <message> – Add a commit message (supports spaces).
        restart-branch <branch> – Restart a branch quickly.
        list-ver – List all repository versions.
        create-rules <message> – Create a commitrules.txt file.
        new-ver <version> – Create a new Mercury version.
        mercuryversion – Show Mercury VC version info.
    Lightweight and Focused – Avoids Git complexity while still providing essential version control functionality.
