Show HN: Weekend Project-Floral Booth-Custom SVG Floral Pattern Generator

Hacker News - Sat, 04/05/2025 - 12:17pm

Hi HN,

FloralBooth is a browser-based tool that lets users generate and customize floral SVG patterns. This started as an experiment within my ongoing generative design project, reusing the same key visual language and core code base. Along the way, it naturally evolved into a tool (lol) You can:

Adjust count, size, position, color, and stroke of each element

Instantly generate real-time SVG code

Download as SVG or PNG

Even use your custom floral composition as a live photo filter (camera mode)

It’s fully client-side, install-free, and mobile-friendly.

I'm working on a broader system that can convert image into reusable, code-based assets, aiming to help both designers and developers build generative tools like this more easily.

I’d love feedback on what directions might be most useful next?

Show HN: Wave – A low-level systems language

Hacker News - Sat, 04/05/2025 - 12:00pm

Hi HN! I'm building a new programming language called Wave. It's currently in pre-beta and very early stages of development.

Wave aims to be a low-level systems programming language — like C or Rust — but with a cleaner syntax, no garbage collector, and a fully custom toolchain.

Right now, the implementation includes:

- Basic control flow: if, while, break (next: continue)

- Strict type declarations (e.g., var i: i32 = 0;)

- Simple CLI compiler using LLVM (temporary — will be replaced by a custom backend called Whale)

Important: Low-level features like memory management, pointer support, and custom calling conventions are not implemented yet. This is still a language prototype, focused on syntax, structure, and core architecture.

I'm sharing this to get early feedback, suggestions, and thoughts from other language creators or systems programmers!
