Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust

A year ago, my co-founder launched Desktop Docs here on HN. It's a Mac app we built with Electron that uses CLIP embeddings to search photos and videos locally with natural language. We got positive feedback from HN and our first paying customers, but the app was almost 1GB and clunky to use.

TLDR; rebuilding in Rust was the right move.

So we rewrote the app with Rust and Tauri and here are the results:

- App size is 83% smaller: 1GB → 172MB - DMG Installer is 70% smaller: 232MB → 69.5

Big U.S. banks are holding internal discussions about expanding into cryptocurrencies as they get stronger endorsements from regulators, but initial steps will be tentative, centering on pilot programs, partnerships or limited crypto trading, according to four industry executives. Wall Street giants that had been largely blocked from many crypto activities by strict regulations are poised to grow quickly.

Yet the biggest lenders are still hesitant to be the first among rivals to ex

The Galaxy S25 Edge is just thin – the iPhone 17 Air has to be smart

Samsung’s super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge is here, and it’s a Good Phone. It is, however, not quite as special as I was hoping for.

Poco X7 Review

The budget smartphone space is the most competitive of all; flagship smartphones capture the headlines, but in terms of affordability, budget models like the Poco X7 are where the smart money plays. In that, I’m really impressed with the Poco X7’s credentials: the decently powerful MediaTek 7300 Ultra paired with a vibrant 6.67-inch 120Hz [...]

Reliably Detecting Third-Party Cookie Blocking In 2025

The web is mired in a struggle to eliminate third-party cookies, with the World Wide Web Consortium Technical Architecture Group leading the charge. But there are obstacles preventing this from happening, and, as a result, many essential web features continue to rely on cookies to function properly.

Show HN: Wetlands – a lightweight Python library for managing Conda environments

It uses the multiprocessing.connection and pickle modules for inter-process communication. Additionally, one can easily

This new browser could change everything you know about bookmarks 

I can tell you the exact moment when a new browser called Deta Surf clicked for me.

I was getting a demo from Deta cofounder Max Eusterbrock, and he showed me how Surf can take screenshots of web pages and add them to a digital pinboard. But unlike a standard screenshot, this one contained a link to jump back to the web page it came from, and its content was searchable from Surf’s menu system.

Aha, I thought. Too often, I’ll open dozens of tab
