The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: FlashRaw – RAW image decoder in Rust, up to 15x faster than LibRaw · score 7.5

  FlashRaw is a memory-safe Rust camera RAW decoder with C, C++, Python, and JavaScript/WASM bindings, claiming 8-15x speedups over LibRaw via multithreading, SIMD, and a fused single-pass develop pipeline with GPU support. It covers ~98% of the raw.pixls.us corpus across ~40 formats and ships fuzz targets and truncation policies for safety. The impressive benchmark breadth and production use in browser-based editors make it a credible challenger in the imaging tooling space.

• Show HN: Anvil, offline LLM chat and SDXL image generation on iPhone · score 7.0

  Anvil is an iOS app that enables offline LLM chat and Stable Diffusion XL image generation on iPhone, using on-device models for privacy and offline functionality. It is technically impressive for running large models on mobile hardware, but the submitted README is only TestFlight instructions, providing no insight into the implementation or usage.

• Show HN: Imagor MCP – agent-written image layouts that compile to one URL · score 6.8

  Imagor MCP is an MCP server and skill that lets AI agents generate image layouts (like OG cards, product grids) and compile them into a single imagor URL, rendered by an existing imagor instance. It bridges AI-assisted design and image processing, simplifying the creation of dynamic images without needing to learn imagor's URL syntax.

• Show HN: A Piet interpreter compiled to a Piet image, running a Piet program · score 6.0

  This project is a Piet interpreter (for the esoteric Piet programming language) compiled into a Piet image itself, which runs a Piet program—a meta-circular self-interpreter. It's a fascinating demonstration of computational self-reference and esolang engineering, executed in the browser via a WebAssembly interpreter for the Blimp language.
