This project is an RF Signal Scanner built using an ESP32, AD8317 RF detector, and various other components.

It's useful to find hidden cameras, wiretapping devices, and other RF-enabled devices.

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: 2048 turned 10 this year, I built an updated version to celebrate

Show HN: 2048 turned 10 this year, I built an updated version to celebrate 480 by terabytest | 167 comments on Hacker News. Hi all! My name is Gabriele Cirulli, I’m the original creator of 2048. Ten years ago, someone posted 2048 on HN[1] and suddenly it seemed like everyone was playing it. Back then, I wrote a bit about my experience during those weeks[2]. Even after all these years, that experience still feels a bit surreal to me. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who connected with the game, whether in small or significant ways, and for the stories shared along the way. Some people expressed how they were going through tough times and found some comfort, however small, in playing 2048. At the start of last year, I wanted to breathe new life into the game as it was starting to show its age. I quit my job last October to work on 2048 full time and spent a year building this new version (the original took just 5 days!). I wanted to pay tribute to what made 2048 great while modernizing...

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Rust Web Framework

Show HN: Rust Web Framework 457 by levkk | 244 comments on Hacker News. 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! [1] https://ift.tt/ftVdA26

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Graphite, a Blender-inspired 2D procedural design Rust app

Show HN: Graphite, a Blender-inspired 2D procedural design Rust app 588 by Keavon | 82 comments on Hacker News. For the past three years I've been building what I hope will be the next Blender, tackling the lack of any good 2D design or image editing tools outside the Adobe monopoly. This was our first year participating in Google Summer of Code and this Q3 update includes the big payoff from that, covering the most progress we've made so far as a project. If you're a Rust dev, consider getting involved as we apply for the next GSoC in the new year— you could be our intern next summer :) Q3 progress report: https://ift.tt/4r8SyKI
