Show HN: CrossX – iOS/macOS App to Convert web/X articles to ePub for e-reader

pompeii — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 21:13:11 +0000

Native iOS/iPadOS/macOS app: paste URL (or Safari share sheet), convert webpage or X thread (via fxtwitter) to clean EPUB 2.0, push directly to Xteink X4 over WiFi hotspot. No cloud, no accounts. Supports stock firmware (192.168.3.3) + CrossPoint custom (crosspoint.local / 192.168.4.1) with auto/mDNS detect.

Early/WIP but daily-driver usable for me. Feedback welcome on parsing quality, connections, or next steps (images in EPUB, batch, etc.).

Show HN: SnipKey v5.0 – Free Keyboard Extension

pompeii — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:56:02 +0000

This release is a big one — packed with tons of improvements!

What’s new: • Bulk editing + snippet creation • Easier, improved tag management • Support for Liquid Glass • Brand new search for fast snippet management • Improved visuals + clearer setup guidance

And as always: 100% free No ads No tracking No subscriptions the only IAP are for tips if you want to support the development (or just leave a review)

For this update, I went fully AI — built the workflows and automation using AI agents (Claude Code). Built with SwiftUI / Swift.

Most of these updates came directly from user feedback via Canny (super useful tool for collecting and prioritizing suggestions — not sponsored, just sharing).

Next step: I’m planning to open source the entire project, so the community can help it grow with new features, fixes, and ideas.

Would love to hear what you think about this version — and if you’ve got feature ideas for v5.1 or thoughts on the open-source direction!

Show HN: Built live community stats into our blackjack app – built using Vapor

pompeii — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 20:18:13 +0000

We added a live global feed showing real-time stats across all players: total money wagered, active games, wins/losses, blackjacks hit, and win rates. Everything updates instantly as thousands of players make moves.

Built entirely in Swift—iOS app with SwiftUI and backend with Vapor. Full-stack Swift ecosystem handling WebSockets for sub-100ms latency. The consistency across the stack made development surprisingly smooth.

pompeii — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 12:52:55 +0000

I thought I was going to get the code, like the raw code, because I want to modify some styles/components. Instead, I received the component, and I can't make modifications. For example, the "DataFeedingIn" component; I want to be able to change the design, but I received the component without much capability for modification.

i pay $50 for nothing :(

Hey, quick feedback:

Can the walking sound be turned off when I jump? Right now, if I jump and keep moving forward, the sound of walking still plays, which is a bit annoying. When I jump, I expect not to hear steps; instead, I would prefer a jump sound, something to signal to my brain that I'm not walking on air.

hmm make sense, but from my understanding the all-stars collection was the same game and not remasterd, right?

Nintendo Switch 2: Zelda Hero of Time

pompeii — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 01:10:54 +0000

I’ve been dreaming about a Zelda Collection (think GameCube-style vibes) that bundles remastered versions of the OG classics—Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time HD, Majora’s Mask HD, you know, the legends. I’d love to hear if anyone else is craving this too!

Do you think there’s a chance we could see something like this on the Nintendo Switch 2?
