Show HN: I made a tiny device for automatically recording digital pianos (❄️ Score: 153+ in 3 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6hD9Y
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6hD9Y
Hey HN!
A few years ago, I left my cushy big tech job to make hardware.
And made the device I always wanted - an automatic piano recorder!
I usually play piano improvisationally, and manually hitting record never meshed well with that. But there are always moments I wish I recorded, and now they are!
Hopefully it scratches a similar itch for some of you as well!
A few of the tech details:
* built on an esp32-s3
* custom injection molded enclosure
* BLE comms, sd card storage, DS1302 RTC
* android & ios apps with Flutter
* Shadertoy vfx support for video sharing

Show HN: Visprex – Open-source, in-browser data visualisation tool for CSV files (Score: 150+ in 17 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6hHKf
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6hHKf
Hello HN. I've always found writing data visualisation scripts boring and repetitive in data science workflows earlier in my career, so I built this tool to automate it. The available methods are based on my experience in econometrics where histograms and scatterplots were the starting points to check data distributions.
The link is to the documentation and the app is freely available at https://visprex.com, and if you're curious about the implementation it's open source at https://github.com/visprex/visprex. I'd appreciate any comments and feedback!

Show HN: Jaws – a JavaScript to WASM ahead-of-time compiler (Score: 150+ in 8 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6hHs9
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6hHs9
I've open sourced a JavaScript to WASM compiler. It's an experimental tool, but given the semantics I already implemented, I'm fairly certain I am able to eventually cover 100% of JavaScript spec. Any ideas, questions or critique welcomed! If you are interested in WASM, especially with new proposals like WASM GC or exception handling, it might be a good source of seeing these features in action - the project has a few thousand lines of hand written WAT so far.

Show HN: HTML-to-Markdown – convert entire websites to Markdown with Golang/CLI (Score: 153+ in 7 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6hGFR
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6hGFR
Hey HN!
I originally built “html-to-markdown” back in 2018 (while still in high school) to handle complex HTML conversions where other libraries struggled.
Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy.
Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser.
It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI.
Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!
