Show HN: Kitaphone – Call mobile phones and landlines directly from the browser

Hacker News - Thu, 10/15/2026 - 11:30pm

Hi HN Folks,

I have been building Kitaphone a web app that lets you call regular mobile and landline numbers directly from your browser. The idea is simple, there are still plenty of situations where apps like WhatsApp, facetime and other internet calling apps aren't an option. For example, when you are abroad and need to call your bank, an airline, or a government office or your son/daughter's school.

I wanted to make those calls possible without requiring users to install another app or buy a sim card or even commit to a monthly subscription. I built Kitaphone using Next.js and Twilio, One of the more interesting challenges has been making browser based calling reliable, especially when it comes to dealing with microphone permissions, sending keypad inputs to automated phone systems, and preventing abuse of free calling credits.

The product is live and supports international calls to regular phone numbers, users currently need an account to make calls partly because each call has a real telecom cost. I am still improving it and learning from the people using it by receiving feedback.

Fun fact: "kita" means our in Bahasa Malaysia, since I am based in this beautiful country and their people are so warm and welcoming I was truly inspired by this place and decided to name it our phone.

Interested to know or receive feedback from HN folks who worked with WebRTC or VoiP in the past.

Show HN: Weatheristic.com to answer questions other weather sites don't

Hacker News - Thu, 10/15/2026 - 9:16pm

I built this for myself. I often have questions I want quick answers to such as "how cold did it get last night?", "I just put down fertilizer, when will it rain next?", "is today unusually cold or warm for this time of year?" Weather sites I tried made me dig for those answers, if they were there at all (the last few days of weather often can't be found).

I used to watch a few stocks closely, and Weatheristic is actually inspired by those types of charts. It has day/night bands with an ultra easy to understand temp trend line, and you can zoom and scroll. I added data I'm interested in, such as a typical high/low band, record high/low for today, moon phases, and various other items in the Overlays dropdown.

One deliberate choice: the temperature scale doesn’t rescale. It stays at roughly -4F to 86F (−20C to 30C) most of the time, so the line’s height on the y-axis tells you how warm it is before you read a number. So if the graph seems off center to you, that's by design.

Data comes from Open-Meteo. The historical records come from their reanalysis archive, which is modelled data rather than weather-station readings, so daily extremes might be a bit off. It’s a static D3 site. No account, no ads, no cookies. I count visits with self-hosted Plausible (cookieless, no personal data; it lives at analytics.povodex.com because I run it for my other projects too).

I use this every day, love it, and I’d love to know if anyone else likes this format.
