I use Lens for Kubernetes but couldnt find an equivalent for ECS so i built one!

The project is open source as well https://github.com/utibeabasi6/mercek

Built a browser-based FFmpeg editor that runs entirely client-side via WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device -- all processing happens in a Web Worker. Works offline as an installable PWA after first load.

I have been working on Hitoku Draft, an open-source, voice-first AI assistant that runs entirely locally. I posted about it already, and now it has also transcription with voice editing. Looking for feedback, as I found that outside tech circles other people still do not use this tech much.

It's context-aware, in the sense that it reads your screen, documents, and active app to understand what you're working on. You can ask about PDFs, reply to emails, create calendar events, use web search, editing text, all by voice.

You can download a compiled version for free with the code HITOKUHN2026 https://hitoku.me/draft/ (base price is 5 dollars)

It supports Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for text generation, plus multiple STT backends (Parakeet, Qwen3-ASR).

Examples: - Gemma4 in action, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgfI-3YjEVU - query a pdf document, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggaDhut7FnU - reply to email, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFnHXMBp1gA - and the usual voice dictation (with optional polishing)

I currently use it a lot with Claude Code and Logseq. Now with some friends we are also building a new cross-platform version. The goal is on the long run to have AI interactive local models serving people and professionals.

If you'd like to learn more, an independent interview was posted a couple of weeks ago [1], and the FAQ [2] has a lot of information as well.

For the source code sharing, we've talked with lawyers and are inclined to no longer require the NDA/NCC for privacy reasons shared with us before (signing requires identification), but instead use a source-available permissive license that doesn't allow competition, like PolyForm Shield [3] (we do still have about 6 months before finalising a decision, here).

This does come with a lot more risks for us (it's harder to track down if someone publishes the code or uses it against the license), but given we've already passed 100 monthly active accounts, we're feeling more confident it's an acceptable risk.

The plan is to give logged in accounts (who are 12 months old or more) a way to download a ZIP of the current code base that's in the server.

Obviously there's no easy way to prove that's the case, but we're open to ideas/suggestions if someone here has them.
