Hey HN!

Over the past few months, I've been working on building Omni - a workplace search and chat platform that connects to apps like Google Drive/Gmail, Slack, Confluence, etc. Essentially an open-source alternative to Glean, fully self-hosted.

I noticed that some orgs find Glean to be expensive and not very extensible. I wanted to build something that small to mid-size teams could run themselves, so I decided to build it all on Postgres (ParadeDB to be precise) and pgvector. No Elasticsearch, or dedicated vector databases. I figured Postgres is more than capable of handling the level of scale required.

To bring up Omni on your own infra, all it takes is a single `docker compose up`, and some basic configuration to connect your apps and LLMs.

What it does:

- Syncs data from all connected apps and builds a BM25 index (ParadeDB) and HNSW vector index (pgvector)

- Hybrid search combines results from both

- Chat UI where the LLM has tools to search the index - not just basic RAG

- Traditional search UI

- Users bring their own LLM provider (OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini)

- Connectors for Google Workspace, Slack, Confluence, Jira, HubSpot, and more

- Connector SDK to build your own custom connectors

Omni is in beta right now, and I'd love your feedback, especially on the following:

- Has anyone tried self-hosting workplace search and/or AI tools, and what was your experience like?

- Any concerns with the Postgres-only approach at larger scales?

Happy to answer any questions!

The article describes a tool called the 'STM32 RDP1 Decryptor' that can be used to decrypt and recover data from STM32 microcontrollers that have their Read Protection (RDP) level set to 1. This can be useful for security research and reversing firmware on these devices.

Hi HN,

I’ve been working on a browser-based tool for exploring and debugging Web Audio API graphs.

Web Audio Studio lets you write real Web Audio API code, run it, and see the runtime graph it produces as an interactive visual representation. Instead of mentally tracking connect() calls, you can inspect the actual structure of the graph, follow signal flow, and tweak parameters while the audio is playing.

It includes built-in visualizations for common node types — waveforms, filter responses, analyser time and frequency views, compressor transfer curves, waveshaper distortion, spatial positioning, delay timing, and more — so you can better understand what each part of the graph is doing. You can also insert an AnalyserNode between any two nodes to inspect the signal at that exact point in the chain.

There are around 20 templates (basic oscillator setups, FM/AM synthesis, convolution reverb, IIR filters, spatial audio, etc.), so you can start from working examples and modify them instead of building everything from scratch.

Everything runs fully locally in the browser — no signup, no backend.

The motivation came from working with non-trivial Web Audio graphs and finding it increasingly difficult to reason about structure and signal flow once things grow beyond simple examples. Most tutorials show small snippets, but real projects quickly become harder to inspect. I wanted something that stays close to the native Web Audio API while making the runtime graph visible and inspectable.

This is an early alpha and desktop-only for now.

I’d really appreciate feedback — especially from people who have used Web Audio API in production or built audio tools. You can leave comments here, or use the feedback button inside the app.
