I Made A Real-Time C/C++/Rust Build Visualizer
Many software projects take a long time to compile. Sometimes that’s just due to the sheer amount of code, like in the LLVM project. But often a build is slower than it should be for dumb, fixable reasons.

Show HN: I built a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer (Score: 151+ in 8 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6zG9M
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6zG9M
I built EmbedPDF: an MIT-licensed, open-source PDF viewer that aims to match all of Adobe Acrobat’s paid features… for free.
Already working:
- Annotations (highlight, sticky notes, free text, ink)
- True redaction (content actually removed)
- Search, text selection, zoom, rotation
- Runs fully in the browser, no server needed
- Drop-in SDK for React, Vue, Preact, vanilla JS
Why? Acrobat is heavy, closed, and pricey. I wanted something lightweight, hackable, and embeddable anywhere.
Demo: https://app.embedpdf.com/
Website: https://www.embedpdf.com/
GitHub: https://github.com/embedpdf/embed-pdf-viewer
Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests welcome!

Show HN: OWhisper – Ollama for realtime speech-to-text (Score: 150+ in 12 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6zGcP
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6zGcP
Hello everyone. This is Yujong from the Hyprnote team (https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote).
We built OWhisper for 2 reasons:
(Also outlined in https://docs.hyprnote.com/owhisper/what-is-this)
(1). While working with on-device, realtime speech-to-text, we found there isn't tooling that exists to download / run the model in a practical way.
(2). Also, we got frequent requests to provide a way to plug in custom STT endpoints to the Hyprnote desktop app, just like doing it with OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints.
The (2) part is still kind of WIP, but we spent some time writing docs so you'll get a good idea of what it will look like if you skim through them.
For (1) - You can try it now. (https://docs.hyprnote.com/owhisper/cli/get-started)
If you're tired of Whisper, we also support Moonshine :)
Give it a shot (owhisper pull moonshine-onnx-base-q8)
We're here and looking forward to your comments!
