Hi Bruno - this looks great! I remember collaborating with you a couple times on Kagi's browser extensions. Was there a specific moment that made you want to work on Uruky, or was it because of the overall direction Kagi is heading in?

100%. Not sure what the solution is but I have lost interest in Show HNs these days. Part of it is because when someone posted before, it usually meant they spent a fair amount of time thinking, and found it worthwhile to spend energy on the project. This was a nice first filter for bad ideas and now no longer exists.

Even for posts that are interesting to me, I get the feeling that it's not worth looking at because it was probably made using LLMs. Nothing against them, but I personally thought of Show HNs as doing something for the love of it, the end result being a bonus.

I built something very similar recently but eventually lost interest because I couldn't find customers. It's main focus was sending email reminders to users to contact their friends.

Nice very cool. Unfortunately, the blog post looks like it's been generated by an LLM.

> Going from a high score to the highest score isn’t usually about making minor tweaks. It requires fighting for every small, boring, consequential decision—the ones that determine whether a repair isn’t merely possible or practical, but within easy reach.

I can highly recommend Brave Search to anyone who is looking for an alternative. I found it to be much better than DuckDuckGo. Feels like Kagi almost, but free.

How do you block users on HN? Are you using a different client?

I am also going to now implement an existing project and invent a different name for it. Look out for Waterfox, a minimal web consumer.

alabhyajindal — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:38:43 +0000

From their post on Twitter in 2024 when they adopted Swift, with a comment on Rust.

My general thoughts on Rust:

- Excellent for short-lived programs that transform input A to output B

- Clunky for long-lived programs that maintain large complex object graphs

- Really impressive ecosystem

- Toxic community

> This is not becoming the main focus of the project. We will continue developing the engine in C++, and porting subsystems to Rust will be a sidetrack that runs for a long time.

I don't like this bit. Wouldn't it be better to decide on a memory-safe language, and then commit to it by writing all new code in Rust, or whatever. This looks like doing double the work.

Here's another approach using Rclone and an editor of your choice. Rclone has a built in crypt library that can encrypt your data and store it in a cloud provider. I use it along with Sublime Text to journal, and store my encrypted data on Dropbox.

New comment by alabhyajindal in "Show HN: I'm 75, building an OSS Virtual Protest Protocol for digital activism"

alabhyajindal — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 22:47:21 +0000

Amazing - congrats on this work. Do I understand it correctly that the goal of the platform is help organise online protests? If so, I would love to understand how this approach is different from using something like change.org. I have read through the linked README and it looks sophisticated and technical - I'm just wondering if this is the best way to protest online.
