• Show HN: ManimGX – Manim's API on a Rust/wgpu engine, for 3D videos in Python · score 8.3

  ManimGX is a Python animation engine that reimplements Manim CE's API on a Rust/wgpu rendering backend, enabling dramatically faster 3D rendering (up to 90x faster than ManimCE). It supports browser-based rendering via WebGPU and Pyodide, making it accessible for web embedding and AI agent workflows.

• Show HN: Chrome's WebRTC engine with the browser API, in Python · score 8.0

  Python WebRTC binds Chrome's libwebrtc engine and exposes it through W3C browser APIs like RTCPeerConnection, data channels, and WebCodecs frames, all asyncio-native. It brings the real Chrome WebRTC stack to Python with native media paths, prebuilt wheels, and WPT-tested compatibility, offering a serious alternative to aiortc with claimed 7-8x connection speedups.

• Show HN: Portus, A Rust Based API/AI/MCP Gateway · score 7.8

  Portus is a Rust-based Kubernetes gateway that unifies Gateway API implementation, an AI gateway for LLM providers (Anthropic/OpenAI), and an MCP gateway for tool servers on a single data plane. It achieves full Gateway API v1.6.2 conformance (130/130 tests) and offers policy-driven control over routing, auth, budgets, and token metering without calling out on the request path.

• Show HN: Coding agents need a tap from your watch, not API keys · score 7.5

  Permaura is a local permission gateway for AI agents that enforces deny-by-default policies, injects real credentials upstream, and returns redacted results so agents never hold secrets. It combines a sealed vault, hash-chained Ed25519 audit log, MCP bridge, and SDKs in a Rust workspace, with approvals routed to a person for sensitive calls.
