Show HN: Tell the Sky – message lanterns drift on winds from live weather data
Source: Show HN ·
I created a web/mobile app that lets you write a story/secret/encouragement/etc... on a lantern. You can then let it go and it will float over a world map using live wind data from NOAA's public wind forecast. Other users can then catch them in a timed window as they float by overhead and add on to the message chain. Then they release them to continue on. It's just a fun thing I was trying - kind of like a message in a bottle but in the sky. I thought it sounded like a cool idea and after playing with it, I really like it but was curious if other people also thought it was cool or just seemed

Show HN: Bobr – a rootless content-addressed build system for Linux
Hello. This is my vibe-coded pet project. It’s meant to be a build system like Nix or Yocto. It can work rootless, uses its own namespace-based sandbox runtime, is content-addressed, and builds a Linux system that can be run in QEMU for now. I hope this can be interesting not only to me.
