Show HN: A modern way to type in African languages
Hello HN, I'm pythonbrad and a core maintainer of Afrim - an input method engine for African languages.<p>Afrim want to simplify the typing in African languages and also digitalize the African typing systems. Basically, it wants to solve the problems encountered with current solutions:
- slow typing
- not easily configurable
- keyboard layout dependent
- constant bugs<p>Additionally, Afrim offers the following features [1]:
- Dataset easily customizable
- Keyboard layout independent
- Auto completion, autocorrection and autosuggestion
- Support all sequential codes<p>Technical details [2]:
Afrim is written in Rust and his architecture is inspired of RIME.<p>What's next?
- Offer an android frontend of the Afrim (in development) [3]
- Support more African input methods as possible<p>I would like to have your opinions about this project. I have been working on it so far, and I would like to know how I can improve it.<p>--------------

Show HN: Gov.uk Vue, a Vue Component Library for the Gov.uk Design System
Hi HN,<p>I've built a Vue component library based on the GOV.UK Design System, which is used for government services in the UK. The Design System is well-known for being accessible, well designed and thoroughly researched, and it's been used as the basis for many other governments' and organisations' design systems.<p>GOV.UK Vue includes every component in the GOV.UK Design System, with comprehensive docs. It can also be used for projects that aren't related to GOV.UK, as long as they don't use the GOV.UK branding

Show HN: Defrag the Game
Hi,<p>A while ago, I came across this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3TbL3Tl6M" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3TbL3Tl6M</a> on YouTube showing 8 hours of defragmenting a hard drive.
For some reason, it inspired me to create this small game.<p>Have fun :)

Show HN: I'm 17 and built a startup to find or sell parking spots
Hey HN! I'm Dris, I'm 17, and for the past few months, I've been solo-developing Parkt, an app that lets you quickly reserve or sell parking spots.<p>Parking sucks - it's expensive, hard to find, and you usually overpay or get a ticket.<p>With Parkt, you can reserve parking in 2 taps, or list your unused space in under 5 minutes.<p>It's now free to download on iOS (with Android coming soon)! You can also check out a demo on the site if you're interested.<p>If you know someone who might use Parkt, sharing the app would be super helpful! Feedback is also appreciated.

Show HN: Create notes and maps that live outdoors with web and AR integration
Hey HN,<p>We built Auglinn to make it easy for anyone to leave notes outdoors and create interactive maps, using AR.<p>You can:
- Pin notes or questions from your desktop that appear as AR notes outside, or
- Leave notes or questions while exploring outside with AR, and view them later on your map via phone or desktop.<p>My favorite feature: creating maps by dragging and dropping photos from your phone.<p>The story? When I was a kid, my father visited Universal Studios and captured it all on video. When I went there in 2019, I found myself wondering if I was standing in the same spots he had. This curiosity triggered my interest in leaving traces on the world, and hence AR, and then Auglinn happened...<p>It began for individuals (hobbyists, influencers, anyone), but professionals like urban planners, municipal employees, and some tour guides also loved it, so we added SaaS features later.<p>Feedback is much appreciated.

Show HN: Supertree – interactive visualization of decision trees in Python
Hi All,<p>I would like to share with you a new Python package for interactive decision tree visualization. It is called `supertree`. It visualizes decision tree as interactive graph, where you can collapse and expand selected nodes. You can zoom and pan though large trees. It works with Scikit-learn, Xgboost, and LightGBM.<p>The package works in notebooks: Jupyter Lab, Jupyter Notebook, Google Colab. You can also use it in Python scripts and save output trees to HTML.<p>The package is available on pip: `pip install supertree`.<p>You can find code examples on the GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/mljar/supertree">https://github.com/mljar/supertree</a><p>Happy exploring!

Show HN: A retro terminal text editor for GNU/Linux coded in C (C-edit)
I set about coding my own version of the classic MS-DOS EDIT.COM for GNU/Linux systems four years ago and it this is where the project is at... still rough around the edges but works well with Termux! :)

Show HN: LLM-Term – Simple Rust-based CLI assist tool
Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux.
I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started.
While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly.
I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
