Show HN: Alumina Programming Language
Alumina is a programming language I have been working on for a while. Alumina may be for you if you like the control that C gives you but miss goodies from higher level programming languages.<p>It is mostly for fun and exercise in language design, I don't have any grand aspirations for it. It is however, by this time, a usable general-purpose language.<p>Alumina borrows (zing) heavily from Rust, except for its raison d'être (memory safety). Syntax is a blatant rip-off of Rust, but so is the standard library scope and structure.<p>Alumina bootstrap compiler currently compiles to ugly C, but a self-hosted compiler is early stages that will target LLVM as backend.<p>If that sounds interesting, give it a try. I appreciate any feedback!<p>Standard library documentation:

Show HN: Countle
Countle is a daily puzzle game, a la Wordle, where you use 6 given numbers to produce of a sequence of calculations to reach a target number. In other words, it's a daily round of the "Numbers Game" from the British game show Countdown.<p>Sample numbers round: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfa3MHLLSWI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfa3MHLLSWI</a><p>A new puzzle appears every day!

Show HN: Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port)
I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets for <a href="https://dj.app/" rel="nofollow">https://dj.app/</a>. When it came time to open source wxWidgets-wasm, I decided to port another complex app as a test case, and Audacity seemed like the obvious choice. In the process, I also needed to write a new host API for PortAudio for playback and recording in the browser.<p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm</a><p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm</a><p><a href="https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy</a>

Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon
A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc.<p>The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly.<p>This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing marketplace.<p>In 2019, I started building the first piece, Openship, an order management system that lets you source orders and fulfill them from anywhere. Now that that’s in stable release, next up is Openfront (an e-commerce platform for storefronts) and Opensupport (ticketing software for customer support). Together, they provide the staples for any modern business: sales, fulfillment, support.<p>Let me know what you guys think of the idea and if you see any potential pitfalls.
