This project is an RF Signal Scanner built using an ESP32, AD8317 RF detector, and various other components. It's designed to detect and measure RF signals in the environment and display the signal strength on an OLED display. It's useful to find hidden cameras, wiretapping devices, and other RF-enabled devices.

Ask HN: What's the most creative 'useless' program you've ever written? (❄️ Score: 150+ in 2 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6gziP
I recently came across the concept of "useless" programs - pieces of code that serve no practical purpose but are fun, creative, or challenging to write. These could be anything from elaborate ASCII art generators to programs that solve imaginary problems.
I'm curious to hear about the most interesting or creative "useless" programs the HN community has written. What was your motivation? What unexpected challenges did you face? Did you learn anything valuable from the experience?
Some examples to get the ball rolling:
1. A program that prints the lyrics of "99 Bottles of Beer" in binary.
A text-based game where you play as a semicolon trying to find its way to the end of a line of code.
A script that translates English text into Shakespearean insults.
Share your creations, no matter how quirky or impractical. Let's celebrate the joy of coding for coding's sake!

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6gFC2
Hi everyone,
I've been "funemployed" for a few months and with all that free time and idle hands I wrote a full web framework (think Rails, not Flask) for Rust.
It's boring old MVC, has its own ORM, templates, background jobs, auth, websockets, migrations and more. If you're keen but don't feel like rewriting your app in a different language, Rwf has a WSGI server to run Django (or Flask) inside Rust [1], letting you migrate to Rust at your own pace without disrupting your website.
I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language. Now it has yet another framework for y'all to play with.
Cheers!
