• Show HN: Cwist; a hobby-grade C17 web framework that keeps your app simple · score 7.3

  CWIST is a C17 web framework and application server that provides routing, middleware, sessions, and an embedded SQLite ORM across HTTP/1.1–3, WebSocket, and WebTransport, with the same app runnable natively, in WASI 0.2 edge runtimes, or inside the browser's Service Worker. It stands out for its aggressive performance benchmarks (including holding a million connections) and its rigorous memory-safety CI (ASan/UBSan, fuzzing, allocator gate).

• Show HN: Sibuna OSS simple web application firewall with proof of work · score 6.8

  Sibuna is a Rust-based web application firewall that uses browser proof-of-work (sequential work or Hashcash) to deter bot traffic, along with policy rules, rate limiting, TLS fingerprinting, and an operator console. It stands out for its single-binary deployment, cross-platform support, and embedded SQLite/PostgreSQL cluster mode, making it a lightweight but capable WAF alternative.

• Show HN: A simple script to stop all cold sales emails from reaching your inbox · score 6.3

  Cold Email Killer is a Google Apps Script tool that uses rules and optional AI to detect and archive cold sales emails in Gmail, running entirely within the user's own Google account. It offers multiple AI provider options, including self-hosted models, and includes safety features like dry-run mode and sender allowlisting.

• Show HN: Solarite – fast and simple web components with no signals and no build · score 6.0

  Solarite is a lightweight JavaScript library for building native web components with no build step and no signals. It uses tagged template literals and an explicit render() call to patch only changed DOM nodes, achieving performance close to vanilla JavaScript. It differentiates itself by using scoped CSS in the light DOM and avoiding reactivity systems, making it simpler than alternatives like Lit.
