The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: RME – open-source Android scanner with no INTERNET permission · score 5.8

  RME is a privacy-first Android document scanner with on-device OCR, full-library search, and searchable PDF export, notably requesting no INTERNET permission. It combines scanning, organization, PDF tools, and encrypted backups in a local-first app, but relies on Google ML Kit components for key functionality. The project is well-documented and targets users seeking a no-cloud, no-account alternative to proprietary scanners.

• Show HN: Portr – Expose local HTTP, TCP or WS connections to the public internet · score 5.5

  Portr is a self-hosted tunneling solution that exposes local HTTP, TCP, and WebSocket services to the public internet, similar to ngrok but open-source and team-oriented. It adds a built-in local inspector for request replay and WebSocket debugging, Docker Compose integration via labels, and a CLI-accessible SQLite log store, making it a practical alternative for small teams.

• Show HN: Family Internet Speed Game · score 5.5

  Guess the Speed is a multiplayer web game where families guess their internet speed before running a real speed test. It uses Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects for real-time rooms, and a polished UI for phones and TVs. While technically solid and well-documented, its appeal is limited to casual family gaming.

• Show HN: Netsat, a shared internet virtual satellite you can use to learn DSP · score 5.3

  Netsat is a virtual satellite that streams simulated radio samples over WebSocket, allowing anyone to learn digital signal processing without hardware. It provides a shared experience where all users receive the same samples, enabling collaborative discovery and learning.
