Is Hormuz open yet?
I built this because I was interested in the data. Didn't fully get it to what I wanted, but thought I'd share it nonetheless. Maybe someone has better data sources they could share! Turns out live ship tracking APIs are expensive so I manually just copied the json from https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:57.4/cente... I'll probably have an ai agent do the same thing on some cron interval, if this gets any fanfare. To actually know if the port is open without live ship tracking I found https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a... which was perfect, except it has 4 day lag! I also thought of adding news feed parsing or prediction market data to get a more definitive answer on if it's open right when you load it, but I spent a few hours and am gonna move on for now.

Kurvengefahr
A few years ago I made a pen plotter attachment for Prusa MK4 (https://www.printables.com/model/827264-pen-plotter-attachme...) and at the time I didn't have a good way to turn artwork into G-code for it, and I put the project on ice for a while. I recently wanted to dabble in line art again and made a small browser app to make it easier. As agentic AI tools of 2026 are quite addictive, it rather quickly grew into something quite a bit more - an integrated browser CAD/CAM for pen plotters that covers everything from importing existing artwork, creating artwork from scratch, preparing for plotting and hardware integration. It includes some off-beat features like a Logo interpreter for turtle art and Graves RNN for handwriting synthesis and in addition to 3D printer pretending to be pen plotters it now also supports actual pen plotters based on EBB (AxiDraw) and GRBL firmwares through Web Serial. If you own an AxiDraw or a GRBL plotter, I'd very much appreciate it you gave it a try and give feedback. As I don't own those, I did all the testing with a hardware mock on STM32, so I am not sure how well it works attached to an actual plotter.

Ant
Hello HN! I'm the author of Ant, a JavaScript ecosystem built around a runtime with its own JavaScript engine. Ant also includes a package manager, the ants.land package registry, a platform for deploying and hosting applications, and Ant Desktop for building native desktop apps with web technologies, similar to Electron. The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while remaining compatible with the wider JavaScript ecosystem. It's still early, and I'd appreciate any feedback on the overall direction or what you'd like to see from an e2e alternative to the existing JavaScript stacks. P.S. I’ve shared Ant here before as a runtime; since then, it has grown into the broader ecosystem you see today.
