Show HN: VidStudio – Video processing that runs in the browser

Tue, 02/10/2026 - 4:22am

I wanted to ship a clean, polished video processing tool that runs entirely in the browser.

My goal was to give users something low friction: no accounts, no software to install, no uploading files to servers, and no ads or annoying popups.

It runs on the multithreaded FFmpeg WASM build. While impressive, there are limitations with file sizes. The real pain was getting FFmpeg commands to terminate properly.

For anyone working on something similar who keeps running into commands that hang endlessly don't give up. The answer is controlling the number of threads FFmpeg uses at different steps in the processing pipeline.

Any feedback appreciated.

Yourcomfortline.com Hear them again. AI voice companion for comfort and healing

Tue, 02/10/2026 - 4:21am

I did not cry at the funeral. I went home, the house was quiet, and I realized I could not remember how he said my name. That night my phone rang from a private number. When I answered, I heard his voice say it the way he always had. I knew it was AI. I was not confused or pretending. But my hands were shaking anyway. He had recorded the message earlier with explicit consent, just in case I ever needed it. I listened for less than a minute, then cried for the first time. That moment is why we built YourComfortLine, a consent-first AI voice system that delivers real phone calls for grief, closure, and emotional grounding. This will not be for everyone, and that is intentional.

Show HN: Sigilla, I built a Pocket replacement because Mozilla killed it

Tue, 02/10/2026 - 3:51am

I was a heavy Pocket user. When they shut down the API and service in 2025, I was left with a useless HTML backup.

I built Sigilla to restore my workflow. It parses those HTML exports locally. It’s built on Supabase (RLS for privacy) and Deno Edge Functions. No tracking, no ads. Just a place to actually read

AI Startups and GPUs

Tue, 02/10/2026 - 3:33am

Startups can now train trillion-parameter models without owning a cluster. For years, scaling AI was an "arms race" only big tech could afford. GPU scarcity and cluster management meant smaller teams were locked out. Now, on-demand GPU access lets startups and research labs experiment with huge models without massive CapEx, spin up temporary clusters for heavy workloads, & pay only for what they use. AI experimentation is finally democratized! Curious to hear: how are small teams approaching large-scale model training today? Are we seeing innovation shift because compute is now elastic?
