Show HN: Plonk – Spotlight Search style Python interpreter

Hacker News - Mon, 05/25/2026 - 12:09pm

I've just released Plonk, a Spotlight Search style Python interpreter interface for macOS.

As someone who often uses Spotlight Search for quick calculations, I was left yearning for more - a way of quickly running snippets of code and bridge the gap between a calculator and a full on script. Plonk solves that problem by dropping you in to a persistent Python interpreter with a global hotkey. The `%copy` command can be used to dump the previous output to the clipboard, or `%copy ` to dump the output of a specific expression/variable.

Plonk plugs into system Python by default, but is also compatible with virtualenvs or uv projects.

Source and package are available via GitHub: https://github.com/JosephRedfern/plonk

Nigel Farage’s Russian hack claim ‘without any merit’, former NCSC chief says

Guardian Security - Mon, 05/25/2026 - 11:33am

Ciaran Martin says Reform UK leader’s allegation over Guardian report on £5m gift ‘entirely unsubstantiated’

Nigel Farage’s claim that a Russian hack was behind a Guardian report on the £5m gift he received from a crypto billionaire has been described as “without any merit” by a former head of the National Cyber Security Centre.

Ciaran Martin, founding chief executive of the agency, which is part of GCHQ, said Farage’s allegation, if true, would have major implications for UK policy towards Russia but that the Reform UK leader had yet to provide “a shred of evidence”.

Show HN: Widget Cast – Video Widgets for iOS

Hacker News - Mon, 05/25/2026 - 11:26am

Hello! I've just made Widget Cast, it's a little app to make looping animated widgets for iOS. Take any video and and you can trim to 10 seconds or less, then apply a load of effects like CRT, night vision, thermal, colour tint, etc - then see it animate away on your home screen.

App store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/widget-cast-video-widgets/id67...

Got a glowing futuristic website here too: https://widgetcastapp.com

If you have an Apple watch, you can view them there too.

Could be a special moment or person, or just a dinosaur jumping up & down (which is also special).

It's free with some effects behind IAP (there are sort-of pay-what-you-want tiers). No subscriptions or ads.

Hopefully it's good fun!

p.s. I did add this the other day but messed it up and it didn't show (mangled title). Fingers crossed it's ok to try again - this is the last time I promose - I am not a spamlord. Repeat, I am not a communist.
