Show HN: WallHop – 12ft.io is gone, so I built a replacement
Hi HN, I'm Josh. WallHop is a free paywall bypass: paste an article URL (or prefix any URL with wallhop.io/) and you get the readable article without the paywall popup, ads or clutter. No signup, no extension.<p>I built it after 12ft.io went away. The News Media Alliance took it down in July 2025 and I missed having something I could hit from my phone.<p>How it works: it started as a fork of everywall/ladder (GPL-3.0) and I've modified it heavily since. Instead of relying on one trick, it chains several bypass methods per request and falls back to archive.is when they all fail, so one site blocking one technique doesn't break it.<p>Things that might be interesting:<p>- iOS Shortcut: on iPhone, tap Share > WallHop from any article in Safari or another app. This is how I use it 95% of the time.
- It works on Medium member-only posts, which 12ft never handled.
- Bookmarklet for desktop, plus /raw/<url> and /api/<url> endpoints if you want to script it.<p>I've tested it against most major news outlets and a bunch of local papers. It won't work everywhere. There are SOME server-side paywalls that are out of reach, and I'd rather say that up front. If you find a site that breaks, I'd love the link, and I can likely figure out a way to bypass it!
Show HN: Babytalk: Offline speech to text and text to speech on ESP32
I have been playing with a lot of $20 devices with no keyboards or screens. I wanted to use speech to interact with them, but without it having to run through a cloud service or use a fixed command vocabulary.<p>I worked with Claude to implement high performance 4bit int kernels for the ESP32S3 and P4 and quantize some larger STT and TTS models. Surprisingly, it's quite usable on these tiny boards.<p>Also includes a finetuned model that can better cope with my diesel drones, hacking coughs, and mumbling. Works with Micropython (RAM scarcity issues) and AtomVM (better).

Show HN: Proton Drive for Linux
Hello everyone, I wanted to share this small project that I have.
It's born out of a necessity that I had, because Proton doesn't ship a Linux version of the drive yet (it's apparently coming out later this year but who knows?) and all the current solutions are hacky and wonky at best. But for the time being I really needed to mount my Proton drive on my Linux machine the way I mounted it on my Mac, so I (and my faithful AI slave) did this small utility that allows you to mount your Proton Drive in a FUSE FS like if it is a local folder.<p>It's fully written in Go because Proton's drive SDK and API libs are all in Go, and there's a community project on top of the reverse engineered proton API there too. I am not a Go developer, I know the foundations, so of course I used AI quite a lot, I am not super proud of it, but I am using it daily and testing it myself for a few months before releasing here.<p>Hope you like it, feedbacks are welcome, just please be mindful of the person on the other side :)

Show HN: Apogee: Rebuilding Mozilla's Orbit, fully local and private
Hey everyone!<p>Last year, Mozilla released Orbit, an AI-powered browser summarizer hosted on a GCP server. After people started digging into the extension, they discovered things like backend endpoints such as store_result. Eventually, Mozilla discontinued the project.<p>For the past month, I’ve been trying to rebuild Orbit from scratch, but with one major difference: Apogee is fully local and privacy-focused. Apogee doesn’t send or store your data. It can directly connect to your local Ollama instance for inference. I’ve also added WebGPU integration for Chrome and Transformers.js for Firefox to provide faster, local responses.<p>It can summarize: Articles and websites, YouTube and Billie videos, Wikipedia articles ,Hacker News and Reddit threads.<p>Install Apogee:<p>Chrome: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/apogee/pgemlpomhkdc" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/apogee/pgemlpomhkdc</a>...<p>Firefox: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apogeeext/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apogeeext/</a><p>Obviously it is far from complete. Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Show HN: Jevman – AI decision models play Pac-Man
Openai just launched their decisions endpoint, cloudflare launched clef the other week, and many more jev alternatives are out there.<p>We wanted to put the popular ones to the test and thought Pac-Man is a good benchmark for simple and fast decision making.<p>So we let jev 1.13, kev, clef, clef flash, GPT-6 Luna and Laya play Pac-Man against bot ghosts.<p>The low latency of these models allows for real time play. We had each model play 100 games, published a leader board and open-sourced the repo so anyone can run their own model and join the ranking. Link to repo:
<a href="https://github.com/opper-ai/jevman-benchmark/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#benchmark-your-own-model" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/opper-ai/jevman-benchmark/blob/main/CONTR...</a><p>You can also join the game and play as Pac-Man yourself, and the ghosts are the models, either a mix of models or all jev, kev, clef etc. A game costs about 2 cent, all models are running via my startup opper, and we added free credits for everyone to try.<p>It's pretty fun to play and surprisingly difficult to beat jev's highscore. Any feedback is more than welcome!

Show HN: Carrier-Explode: iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy carrier settings decoded
Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands.<p>carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc.<p>There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumptions, but the tool has already been proven useful for a few enthusiast groups.
