   Hey HN! I just released keygaen, a PGP web app. Using it, you can sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt data with PGP in your browser. It also supports key generation, imports and export. Written in Go for WebAssembly and works fully offline th

   And with Linux support! Awesome!

   Sound more like a feature, not like an issue. The internet must be more than two proprietary app stores.

   You can actually do this now, without emulation: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port Zig are also working on it: https://zig.news/monthly/zig-monthly-august-2021-ios-support... The pionee

   I can recommend "Open Camera" for the Camera app, its very customizable and reliable.

   Thanks a lot, I was trying to use it all day yesterday and just couldn't get it work. Zig and Go are a great match it seems.

   That's awesome! How have you gotten it to work with CGo though? A simple CC="zig cc" doesn't seem to work because CGo (as of 1.16) tries to use -E which zig cc doesn't seem to support ...

    If I remember correctly, it is much harder to use Firefox's components outside of Firefox than it is to do with Chromium/Blink. There is a reason why there is no relevant Electron alternative based on Firefox/Gecko. On Androi

    That tool is proprietary; BloomRPC[1] has 80% of the features and is free and open source. [1] https://github.com/uw-labs/bloomrpc

    Hey HN! I wrote bofied, a modern & libre Go network boot server with a WASM PWA frontend and WebDAV support. If you like to PXE boot, but not spend a lot of time editing config files, this might be of use to you. I'd love to get yo

    I switched from Node to Go half a year ago; tooling is incredible and the fact that the output is a single static binary is just so much easier to handle from a DevOps endpoint. The language itself is also incredibly simplistic, which means

    I also entered - the parts price is really cheap, with a Pi zero going for 5€ and the camera going for another 5€. Looking forward to it, FLOSS IoT projects are always fun :)

    I have to disagree with this. I'd even argue that the direct opposite is the case: Go is so conservative in it's decisions, it's hard to find a project from years ago which doesn't "just work" with `go run`. Th

    Well, the alternative to PWAs is publishing through proprietary app stores - the users might not care to much, but it's incredibly important for us as devs. Also, one really can't trust a proprietary browser like Safari with their

    You're not using Firefox, you're using Safari with another skin. Browser engines other than Apple-approved Safari/WebKit are illegal on Apple platforms, effectively rendering it the biggest blocker for the web right now (no P

    Hey HN, liwasc, a project I've been working on for about half a year, is finally ready! It is a fast network scanner, port scanner and WoL server with a gRPC API and a PWA frontend. I'd love to get your feedback :)

    I wrote pojde[1] a while back to solve that exact usecase, using my iPad (or any device with a web browser) to code from anywhere. It creates multiple isolated code-server instances on a remote server and handles toolchain installs, updates

    It is still absolutely fascinating to me how we have arrived at a point where in order to use one's own device properly, one has to ask a US company nicely or be unable to do so - and people pay money for it. On macOS, it is now imposs

    Absolutely. There should be an EU regulation forcing companies to 1) allow sideloading apps, without any certificate restrictions for things like feature approval (such as having to ask Apple nicely to be able to create a VPN) and 2) allow
