Show HN: Interactive Tree of Life
Ptree consolidates of 11 taxonomic trees, both categorical like we used in school (plant, animalia) and phylogenetic (evolutionary descent), with instant crosswalk between them.<p>Across those trees it overlays 41 visual properties (categorical and numerical) assembled from hundreds of biological traits and sources. Color the tree by habitat, nutrition, size, longevity, even see vertical range of birds and depth of fish visually.<p>The backend is 800 GB of raw data distilled through a 9-step build process that reconciles and links all 11 trees along with hundreds of traits so every node in every tree gets all the properties. Every color and number presented retains and shows its provenance: original wording, citation, and license.<p>The frontend uses a custom Miller column implementation with fold-away gutter, all composited animation (no frameworks, pure DOM mutation). Use +'s to try to confuse it by expanding many branches and it will fold them away and route edges around them.<p>Made by the creator of ptable.com, a popular interactive periodic table website around since 1997.

Show HN: HyperCard to HTML Converter
I created a converter that turns HyperCard 2.x stacks into standalone HTML so they can run in a modern browser.<p>I built it to share my own stacks from the early '90s, which have been sitting on old floppy images for 30 years.<p>It's MIT-licensed and I'd welcome contributions - especially stacks that break the converter, since I've only tested it against my own. If you have old HyperCard files lying around, I'd love to hear how they fare.
Show HN: VODForge – a free local desktop UI for YouTube video/playlist downloads
I built VODForge because I work with a CTV company that needed to pull YouTube videos from our channel partners into our media workflow.<p>Converter sites are always an option but the bitrate wasn't optimal for a CTV network that needs to make multiple streaming version off of a single source file. So I build vodforge to use yt-dlp and ffmpeg under the hood with preconfigured settings for the highest quality end result, automatically adjusting the output settings based on source quality, frame rate, and things like that.<p>It became a game changer internally for us because we were able to avoid sketchy converter sites and avoid paid converter software. Eventually I decided to release it for free and others loved it as well. We started to add support for many of the features that other software charges for, supporting 4K, playlist support, customizing application theme, persistent searchable library, auto organizing downloads by channel and playlist, MP3 support up to 320 kbps, and much more.<p>Looking for feedback on the user experience and additional features that you might find useful. My goal is to grow VODForge into a widely adopted free tool for people who do not want to deal with sketchy websites, CLI mess, or pay for things that you could ultimately do for free given time and effort. VODForge wants to make it EASY and maintained for you. We know anyone can make a GUI wrapper, but that is a trivial way to describe what VODForge aims to offer, user-friendliness, "it just works", libraries and packages maintained for you. All you should think about is what to download next.<p>VODForge awaits...

Show HN: Moadim.io – A scheduler for agents
Why can't we get an agent scheduler that supports all of the following:<p>- git compatible<p>- agent agnostic<p>- 100% open source<p>- os and system-agnostic<p>- multi-runner support<p>- support mcp/ui/http<p>- unlimited routines/crons<p>So I built one, moadim.io is a local Rust daemon you install in the target machine, give it a name and manage its routines via a Git repository, wants a new routine that send you a daily message from this machine? Create a pr and merge, have another routine that run every hour to pull the latest changes to the ~/.config/moadim folder.<p>With more than 1,000 users, I define this project as almost "done" and ready for production. Me and thousand more people are use it in a daily manner.<p>It currently supports Claude, Codex, Hermes, and Pi, and you are welcome to add your agent of choice as well because it's 100% configurable.<p>You are welcome to have a look at the source code of the daemon in "<a href="http://github.com/moadim-io/daemon" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/moadim-io/daemon</a>"<p>Feel free to provide me with suggestions for more features around this topic. I don't want to branch out to new off road topics likt webhooks, this is a "done" software in the realm of agents schedulers that focus on cron-like work.<p>Also feel free to start the github repository and open issues and PRs for your suggestions.

Show HN: Fly By – retro biplane flying game
Feedback welcome. Best on desktop. Works on mobile, but needs more polish there.<p>My concept, my guidance, and Gemini Flash doing the work. Took about 4 hours and 50+ conversations with Gemini.<p>Big Kudos to Gemini Flash (since 3.5 and later), because I have had great success with it on many projects.
