Show HN: This website is hosted on DNS
Hey HN!<p>I'm excited to share something I've been working on: a way to set up and launch websites directly through the domain control panel. It allows anyone with a domain name to create, publish, and edit basic websites directly from the domain control panel without any traditional hosting providers or coding knowledge. This narrows the gap for non-technical people looking to publish simple personal and small business websites.<p>This is also the first TWA (triweb application) on the triweb platform (<a href="https://triweb.com" rel="nofollow">https://triweb.com</a>) we are working on. Triweb currently has limited functionality, and this app is mostly just a showcase of how TWAs and triweb containers work. We have an exciting lineup of upcoming features and a unique, simple vision of the decentralized web without the overhyped web3 technologies. We hope that one day triweb will become a standard platform for local-first, browser-based decentralized web applications.
Show HN: Functional UI Kit – twin Figma and React component libraries
Hey Hackers! My name is Alex and I’ve been working on this project for the past 8 months with the support of Figma Creator Fund. I’d love to hear your thoughts from your experience working with designers & component libraries.<p>I started out in design and later got into coding, so I understand both sides really well. I did UX Design for 12 years at startups, at my own studio and at Wix, and then worked as a front-end dev at Wix for 2 more years.<p>I've noticed a common problem: most component libraries work great for devs but not so well for designers.<p>In my experience working with big teams, I've felt this frustration firsthand. Instead of focusing on making products, we end up arguing over small details and terms.<p>In Functional UI Kit, each comp has dedicated story in Storybook. Copy pasting from Dev Mode in Figma just works, Figma variables and CSS variables match, auto Layout is mirroring the same box model structure & the CSS architecture shields you from style collisions.<p>It leverages all the latest Figma features to the MAX. Including the latest: Annotations, and of course: Dark Mode.<p>I hope you try it and let me know what you think.

Show HN: Reverse-Engineering a Switch Lite with 1,917 wires
Hey Hackers. This is a project I solo-developed that turns completed PCB assemblies into an easy to use boardview with some accompanying boardscans. There are lots of easier and better ways of doing this, but this is an experimentation to do it as cheaply as possible, with the highest quality and lowest chance of errors. The technical details are in the link.<p>Most public boardviews are almost entirely the result of industrial espionage, other than a few encrypted subscription based software platforms that provide extensive access. The process output is released as donationware, as my main concern is that even released as a low-cost purchase, there is a very strong culture to share this type of information at no cost. I would like to have a more sophisticated suggested donation system adaptive to user country, but I wasn't able to find a good solution.<p>In terms of 'good startup ideas', I don't think this is one of them. The very high level of soldering skill required makes it difficult to scale, and the prevailing piracy culture makes it challenging to monetize. My main advantage is that costs are very low now that I have the entire thing working. Other than forge ahead at a loss and hope for the best, or to pivot hard leveraging the imaging technology, I'm not sure what other options I have. It feels too complicated and repetitive for shoft-form video content. If you have any feedback, questions, suggestions, etc., I'd love to hear them.

Hi all<p>This has been my hobby project for quite a few years now<p>It started as a small engine to serve as a sandbox to try out new 3d graphics ideas<p>After adding many features through out the years and re-writing the entire engine a few times, this is the latest state<p>It currently supports loading models with animations, textures, lights, shadow maps, normal maps, and some other goodies<p>I've also recently added voxel raymarching as an alternative renderer, along with a fun physics simulation :)

Show HN: Little Fixes – a spatial forum to improve your city
I love urban planning and think the way we interact with the built environment is hugely impactful to individuals. But I also think that most people have been trained to take the built environment as a given rather than something that they have partial ownership of. By building a place to discuss their community on a hyper-local scale, I’m hoping to encourage residents to feel like they are an important piece of their city.<p>I thought building a sort of spatial forum, where city residents can discuss the little annoyances in their neighborhoods, might help people a) start thinking about which parts of the built environment bug them and b) realize that other people in their neighborhood probably have the same complaint. Of course, I know that local politics can turn nasty quickly, hence the name of the site: I’m hoping to keep discussion focused on potential <i>fixes</i> for each problem.<p>If you’re excited about this but your city isn’t on the list, I’m happy to add it as long as you promise to make at least one post. It’s extra helpful if you go to geojson.io and create GeoJson for a closed polygon that marks where you think the bounds for your city should be (doesn’t need to correlate with official city boundaries), but I’m happy to guess and do that part myself. Let me know here or by email if you want your city added!
