Developer Peter Szentkiralyi has shared a DIY project that turns an iPhone and a $20 smart plug into an f-stop timer for photographic darkroom printing. The tool is described on his personal site as DarkPlug, and it is drawing attention on Hacker News, where users discuss and test each other's self-made gadgets and photography setups.

Why now: It is a new Show HN submission, and hands-on DIY tech projects that repurpose everyday gadgets reliably spark interest among hackers and analog photography fans.
