Show HN: NvEnvy – A Notational Velocity (NvAlt) Reboot in Swift. OSS

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 12:48pm

I'm a long time user of Notational Velocity and then nvAlt, and tried nvUltra recently but in the world of Claude it felt like I should own my own——change behaviors as I need them.

Right now it's just a Mac app, but iOS coming in the future for myself, sync with icloud. Notes are saves as .md files and have quick search. You can open the same folder with Obsidian if that's your jam (Obsidian always felt slow and clunky to me, I know folks love it though, so keeping it compatible).

The app is very simple, just plain text. We don't even render markdown right now, though it's coming.

Definitely vibe coded. Definitely will need some updates, but share it before it's polished.... PRs appreciated.

Show HN: Inkfeed – RSS Reader for Kindle

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 12:44pm

Hello.

The Kindle is my favorite device and I read a lot on it, but I also like reading RSS feeds, which aren't supported on the Kindle.

This requires me to either download the article and copy it to my Kindle (using Calibre) or sending it via Amazon's Send To Kindle feature. I dislike both options.

I wanted to read RSS feeds just like I read books on my Kindle, so I (with the help of Claude) built a web-based RSS reader that's compatible with the Kindle's experimental browser (tested on PaperWhite 11). It doesn't use any JS frameworks for maximum compatibility.

This RSS reader allows you to read feeds directly on the Kindle's browser, and you can also download the article directly on your Kindle or email it to yourself.

Initially it was a just a simple RSS reader using a CORS proxy, and saved RSS feeds and user preferences like font size to local storage, but the Kindle browser clears local storage after a while, so I decided to add a backend to save them, then I thought why stop here?

So I added the ability to email the article to yourself in case you want to add it to your Kindle library. A user tried Inkfeed and suggested I add the ability to browse Wikipedia, so I implemented that too. You can search for Wikipedia article, read them and download them on directly on your Kindle using Inkfeed.

You can still use it without the backend if you toggle "Backend mode" OFF in the settings, so that it truly does everything on your Kindle (except that it relies on a CORS proxy to fetch feeds).

I deployed the backend (Go + SQLite) on a Hetzner VPS (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD) that costs me $4 a month, and SSL is handled by Caddy.

The code is free and open source.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/adhamsalama/inkfeed

I'd love to hear your feedback, and I also need people with older Kindle generations to test the JavaScript compatibility.

Show HN: A better Kotlin stdlib doc reference (autocomplete)

Fri, 05/29/2026 - 10:03am

The official Kotlin API docs on the web are not very search friendly: https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib Ctrl+F doesn't work well. It's hard to quickly find the method you're thinking of, especially if you don't remember exactly what it's called.

What works better? IDE autocomplete. So this is autocomplete but on the web.

The primary use case for this is coding interviews. I've been in many interviews where you have to code in whatever web tool the company uses (coderpad etc.) and there's no autocomplete. But you ARE allowed to use the browser for looking things up. So instead of wading through the kotlin docs for the method you're thinking of, you can use this site instead.
