“Show HN: Browse 61 3D Printable Robots Robotics is advancing really fast lately, with AI inference, different controllers, software, and parts always changing. I wanted a place that supports many device types, Raspberry Pi, NVDA Jetson, Arduino, ESP32, hardware sources, and maximizes for printability. Instructables, Github, and Thingiverse are currently popular but aren't really focused on robotics, So I built orobot.io to try and make printing robots as standardized and accessible as possi”

“Show HN: Stillwind – High Resolution Electronic Component Search We’ve spent the last couple of months building Stillwind Search, a search engine for electronic components that helps users find parts that fit even the most complex set of specifications. After talking to the people that actually build PCBs we found out that finding the exact part you are looking for, is consuming enormous amounts of times, is very tedious and then often doesn’t yield the best results. So we tried to cut down this”

“Show HN: Rowboat – Open-source, local-first alternative to Claude Desktop Hi HN, Claude’s desktop app is brilliant. But for our own daily work we kept wanting it to be less like a chat app and more like a full-fledged work app. Rowboat is our attempt at that, including the ability to build your own work surfaces inside Rowboat (more below). Our repo is https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat , and there’s a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et5yQA”

“Ask HN: How to increase depth instead of breadth as 10 yoe as swe? About my experience(10 yoe): - Tech stack: C, C++, python, OpenCL, GPU and DSP programming. Along with that some performance engineering and docker topics. Problem: - not feeling confident enough in my skillset. I feel that I have breadth of topics but deep expertise is missing. - I am with the same company(automotive supplier) for 8 years but switched teams after 4 years. Topics are random based on the customer project as there ”

“Show HN: College application essay inspiration and brainstorm I collected thousands of outstanding college application essays to train a specialized AI model designed to inspire and coach students throughout the essay-writing process. Unlike general-purpose AI, each essay is highly personalized based on the applicant's background, experiences, and personal story. The AI also adapts its writing to emphasize the qualities and values that different universities are looking for. You can browse ”

“Show HN: My tool generates 3D objects composed of separate, functional parts I've noticed all 3D AI generators create monlithic blobs that are impossible to edit. So, alongwith a friend, I built this project where you can generate 3D objects with separate, editable parts. I'm looking for community feedback. The tool is free, but you'll have to BYOK. It uses models like Gemini, Claude or chatGPT to generate a Blender construction script. Basically the output is not merely geometry.”
