Hi HN!

This started as a weekend hack to tile a few YouTube streams on one screen. It’s since grown into a daily-use tool I now rely on. It’s called Panoptic, and it lets you watch and organize multiple live streams across platforms—side by side—in a single, shareable layout.

Panoptic features:

Drop video URLs from YouTube, Twitch, Kick, or TikTok into the page to instantly add them to the grid.

Save and organize collections of streams that you can reload or share via URL.

Import/export collections as JSON.

Browse “saved” and “featured” collections in a sidebar.

Fine-grained autoplay controls, reload buttons, and zero page refreshes.

Everything runs client-side—no backend, nothing stored remotely.

It’s built for big displays. The layout adapts to fit a lot of simultaneous streams, but it’s not practical on phones—so mobile access is intentionally disabled. This is very much a desktop-first tool.

I’ve found it useful for keeping tabs on things like:

financial market coverage from different channels

IRL streamers across different platforms

open camera feeds (space launches, beach cams, weather events)

or just background ambiance + Twitch coding streams :)

It’s still evolving, but I’d love feedback or ideas. I think of it as a minimal, cross-platform dashboard for live video—without needing a dozen tabs or browser extensions.

Try it: https://panoptic.live

Thanks! Mike

At least Florida’s SB 868/HB 743, “Social Media Use By Minors” bill isn’t beating around the bush when it states that it would require “social media platforms to provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement obtains a subpoena.” Usually these sorts of sweeping mandates are hidden behind smoke and mirrors, but this time it’s out in the open: Florida wants a backdoor into any end-to-end encrypted social media platforms that allow accounts for minors. This would likely lead to companies not offering end-to-end encryption to minors at all, making them less safe online.

Encryption is the best tool we have to protect our communication online. It’s just as important for young people as it is for everyone else, and the idea that Florida can “protect” minors by making them less safe is dangerous and dumb.

The bill is not only privacy-invasive, it’s also asking for the impossible. As breaches like Salt Typhoon demonstrate, you cannot provide a backdoor for just the “good guys,” and you certainly cannot do so for just a subset of users under a specific age. After all, minors are likely speaking to their parents and other family members and friends, and they deserve the same sorts of privacy for those conversations as anyone else. Whether social media companies provide “a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption” or choose not to provide end-to-end encryption to minors at all, there’s no way that doesn’t harm the privacy of everyone.

If this all sounds familiar, that’s because we saw a similar attempt from an Attorney General in Nevada last year. Then, like now, the reasoning is that law enforcement needs access to these messages during criminal investigations. But this doesn’t hold true in practice.

In our amicus brief in Nevada, we point out that there are solid arguments that “content oblivious” investigation methods—like user reporting— are “considered more useful than monitoring the contents of users’ communications when it comes to detecting nearly every kind of online abuse.” That remains just as true in Florida today.

Law enforcement can and does already conduct plenty of investigations involving encrypted messages, and even with end-to-end encryption, law enforcement can potentially access the contents of most messages on the sender or receiver’s devices, particularly when they have access to the physical device. The bill also includes measures prohibiting minors from accessing any sort of ephemeral messaging features, like view once options or disappearing messages. But even with those features, users can still report messages or save them. Targeting specific features does nothing to protect the security of minors, but it would potentially harm the privacy of everyone.

SB 868/HB 743 radically expands the scope of Florida’s social media law HB 3, which passed last year and itself has not yet been fully implemented as it currently faces lawsuits challenging its constitutionality. The state was immediately sued after the law’s passage, with challengers arguing the law is an unconstitutional restriction of protected free speech. That lawsuit is ongoing—and it should be a warning sign. Florida should stop coming up with bad ideas that can't be implemented.

Weakening encryption to the point of being useless is not an option. Minors, as well as those around them, deserve the right to speak privately without law enforcement listening in. Florida lawmakers must reject this bill. Instead of playing politics with kids' privacy, they should focus on real, workable protections—like improving consumer privacy laws to protect young people and adults alike, and improving digital literacy in schools.

Here's a demo video I made for our AI game master who can now generate a battlemap and run combat! Franz (our AI GM), can now generate character voices, move tokens around the map, update/track everything, and more. We also added voice input/output!

I don't want to toot my own horn too much but I just think it's so fricken cool that this is possible now.

Here are some notes that you guys might find interesting: - The main turn loop is a workflow, but parts of it are agentic. For example, npc turns are agentic. See https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-age... for more info about workflow vs agentic - Most of the decision making is handled by LLMs, but more mechanical aspects are handled programmatically and then given to the LLM as context. For example, damage calculations are done programmatically. The hardest part about building this was deciding what to let the LLM do and what to do via code. - This would not have been possible a year ago without advancements in token speed and quality, especially with tool calling! - We use gemini-2.0-flash mostly

Happy to answer any questions about how we built this

Some months ago, I created https://toywithraylib.com/, a little project that uses emception (https://github.com/jprendes/emception)

It allows you to build and run raylib projects entiretly on the browser (It is compiled and run entirely locally!)

It has raylib 5.6, rlImGui and box2d included! It can be used to run any C++ project, allowing configuring the build options using python (which also runs entirely in the website)

Once you are finished testing, you can download the code or download the game in order to share, which will be stored in a single-file HTML file, it also has basic link-sharing capabilities but I don't expect them to work with large examples since it is url-based.

The project is opensourced, I just wanted to hack it to get it working, but if somebody wants to improve it or fork it, is more than welcomed to do so :)
