Hey - I've been playing with LLMs since GPT-2 and recently experimented with fully generative UIs where the HTML/Canvas are generated just-in-time.
Every post on the feed( on slop/duck/storytime) you see is streamed and generated just-in-time with HTML and into a Canvas with Gemini 3 Flash.
Comments and DMs are bidirectionally linked with a Cloudflare Workers Durable Object which is why they feel so fast. Every generated post is saved into a DO SQLite which is then served into the "Following" feed so it can be served quicker.
This was inspired by Wikitok, a VSCode Extension I made around brainrot, and another fully generative UI site I made.

Show HN: EuConform – Offline-first EU AI Act compliance tool (open source)
I built this as a personal open-source project to explore how EU AI Act requirements can be translated into concrete, inspectable technical checks.
The core idea is local-first compliance: – risk classification (Articles 5–15, incl. prohibited use cases) – bias evaluation using CrowS-Pairs – automatic Annex IV–oriented PDF reports – no cloud services or external APIs (browser-based + Ollama)
I’m especially interested in feedback on whether this kind of technical framing of AI regulation makes sense in real-world projects.
