Show HN: Slimg – Fast Image Optimizer CLI in Rust with Kotlin/Python Bindings (github.com)
Hi HN,<p>I built slimg, a CLI tool for image optimization written in Rust. It handles format conversion, compression, resizing, cropping, and extending (adding padding) — with batch processing support.<p>Codecs: MozJPEG, OxiPNG (Zopfli), libwebp, AVIF (ravif&#x2F;dav1d), QOI, JPEG XL (decode-only).<...

Show HN: See how algorithms manipulate your social/media feeds in real-time (github.com)
Hello HN, I’m Dan (aadivar), one of the two people working on AttentionGuard.<p>I built it because I was tired of social media websites pushing algorithmic content at me, while preventing content I actually subscribed to from being shown.<p>e.g. My wife has an art channel on YouTube with over 200K f...

BarraCUDA: Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs (and more in the future!) (github.com)
Wonderfully simple CUDA to AMD compiler. From "Building": # It's C99. It builds with gcc. There are no dependencies. make # That's it. No cmake. No autoconf. No 47-step build process. # If this doesn't work, your gcc is broken, not the Makefile.

Show HN: Fullbleed – Rust HTML/CSS-to-PDF with Deterministic Output+Python CLI
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been building fullbleed for a while and just shipped v0.2.5. It&#x27;s a PDF generation engine written in Rust, distributed as a Python wheel.<p>The short version: HTML&#x2F;CSS in, PDF out. No headless browser. No cloud. No Chromium. Works fully offline. *Why fullbleed:<p>Full Bl...
