Developer simpsoka celebrates his Show HN project hitting #6 on Hacker News (155 points, 68 comments): after his $300 embroidery machine required a subscription to use, he built his own replacement app, open-sourced at github.com/simpsoka.
The HN front-page screenshot also shows items like "Jensen Huang resigns", "Microsoft/Azure Outage?", "Gemini 4 Hydrogen", and "Rust 1.100" — unverified here; check the source.
