Show HN: Wiredoor – Securely expose private services
Hey HN,
I built Wiredoor, an open-source platform to securely expose private HTTP and TCP services to the internet, without opening firewall ports or dealing with complex VPN setups.
Wiredoor uses WireGuard to establish encrypted tunnels and NGINX to proxy traffic to internal services, making it much easier and safer to publish apps from your private network or homelab.
Docs: https://www.wiredoor.net/docs
GitHub: https://github.com/wiredoor/wiredoor
Would love any feedback, questions, or suggestions!

Show HN: Email Sleuth – Find and Verify Emails (Rust CLI)
I built this because I was tired of paying $99/month for tools like Clearbit and Hunter — and most of them don’t even verify if the email address exists. They just guess.
So I wrote a CLI tool in Rust.
You give it:
A full name (like “Jane Smith”) A domain (like company.com) It:
Generates common email patterns (jane@company.com, jsmith@, etc) Scrapes the company website for any public emails Does an SMTP check (MX + RCPT TO) to verify if the email exists Scores and ranks the candidates Why?
I wanted something fast, private, scriptable, and verifiable — not just “guesses” wrapped in a pretty UI. This has JSON in/out, works well in batch mode, and can run locally or in CI pipelines.
Notes
Port 25 warning: SMTP verification requires outbound port 25 access. Most home ISPs block this. I’m not a networking guy, so maybe there’s a better solution — but I just run it on a GCP VM and it works fine there. Rust has been awesome for this: fast HTTP/S scraping, socket-level control, robust error handling, and painless multithreading. Probably wouldn’t want to write this in Python. It’s open-source (MIT), no trackers, no signup, no web UI. Not sure if this is useful to anyone outside of that weird founder/hacker/recruiter intersection, but figured I’d share.
Would love feedback, issues, feature requests, or just a reality check.

The Art and Heart of Baking: A Journey with Samuel Nelson
Baking is more than a profession—it’s a way of life. As a baker, every day begins before the sun rises and is filled with the comforting scents of rising dough, melting butter, and golden crusts. My name is Samuel Nelson, and for me, baking is a passion rooted in tradition, creativity, and a genuine desire to make people’s days a little sweeter.
The Start of Each Day While most of the world is still asleep, the bakery is already alive with quiet energy. The first tasks are mixing doughs, checking proofs, and preparing the ovens. Precision matters—a few grams too many of flour or a slightly cool oven can change the outcome entirely. There’s a rhythm to baking that teaches patience and demands respect.
Rolling out croissants, kneading artisan bread, and crafting delicate pastries are all part of the early hours. Each product requires attention, care, and timing. Baking teaches humility; no matter how many years you’ve practiced, you’re always learning something new.
Creating Moments for Others What I love most about my work is how it connects people. A loaf of bread isn’t just food; it’s part of a family meal, a picnic, a celebration. A birthday cake carries more meaning than just frosting and candles—it holds memories. I take pride in knowing that what I create becomes part of someone else’s story.
Whether it’s a crusty sourdough that complements a winter stew or a flaky croissant that brightens a morning commute, my goal is to deliver something special every time. Baking, at its heart, is about generosity and joy.
Sourcing the Best Ingredients A baker is only as good as his ingredients. That’s why I focus on sourcing the highest-quality flours, fresh local dairy, rich chocolate, and seasonal fruits. Good ingredients don’t need much fussing—they speak for themselves. Supporting local farmers and suppliers not only ensures freshness but also strengthens our community.
Challenges of the Job Of course, baking isn’t without challenges. It’s physically demanding: long hours on your feet, early mornings, and constant movement. Precision can sometimes feel like pressure. A day’s work can be undone by a sudden shift in temperature or humidity. But despite these obstacles, the rewards far outweigh the hardships.
There’s nothing like seeing the satisfaction on a customer’s face or hearing someone say that a loaf or pastry reminded them of home.
Moving Around Town Running a bakery often requires traveling across town—to source ingredients, deliver special orders, or meet with suppliers. Getting around efficiently is essential, especially when time is tight and freshness matters. For reliable, professional transportation in Utah, I highly recommend Lehi Car Service. Their prompt, clean, and courteous service makes it easy to handle deliveries and meetings without the stress of traffic or parking. Whether it’s a simple grocery run or an important catering drop-off, they help keep the day running smoothly.
The Future of Baking Baking is both ancient and evolving. While I honor traditional methods, I also embrace new ideas—whether it’s experimenting with sourdough variations, introducing gluten-free options, or incorporating international flavors. My dream is to keep pushing boundaries while preserving the comforting, universal magic of fresh-baked goods.
Looking ahead, I hope to teach others the joys of baking, host community workshops, and expand the reach of my bakery. Food has a unique way of bringing people together, and I feel lucky to be part of that every single day.

Show HN: I made a free ultimate board game companion
Hey everyone!
I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: [Board Buddy](https://boardbuddyapp.vercel.app/) — a free cross-platform mobile app for tracking scores and rules in board games. Board Buddy simplifies gameplay by helping you keep track of scores and key points, so you can focus on the game itself and socializing with friends
I did everything solo — coding, UI, architecture — and I’m super happy (and a bit nervous) to finally share it with the community.
You can [*download Board Buddy on the App Store*](https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/board-buddy-score-counter/id67...) Google Play will be available soon, check out the [*source code on GitHub*](https://github.com/khlebobul/board_buddy), or visit the [*official website*](https://boardbuddyapp.vercel.app/) for more info!
I'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, or even see some PRs if you feel like contributing! If you enjoy the app, leaving a star or a review would absolutely make my day.
Thanks for checking it out!
