• Show HN: Shotstash – Self-hosted media cloud for creators (MIT, BYO-AI) · score 6.5

  Shotstash is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed media cloud for creators and small teams, combining video-first storage, resumable uploads, share links, and a bring-your-own-AI worker contract. It differentiates from photo-library tools like Immich and enterprise DAMs by targeting project footage delivery on existing hardware, with a modern TypeScript/Apollo/PostgreSQL stack and thorough operational documentation.

• Show HN: Moin – A P2P voice app built on iroh and Media over QUIC · score 6.3

  Moin is a P2P voice chat application for communities, built on iroh and Media over QUIC for encrypted, member-only calls with screen sharing.

The project is interesting for its use of modern P2P and QUIC technologies to simplify self-hosting without port forwarding or domain setup.
