Show HN: Infracost (YC W21): Cloud Costs for Terraform in VSCode
23 by hugorut | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey, Hugo from Infracost (https://ift.tt/aeOsBDr) here. Infracost shows engineers the cost of each Terraform change in CI/CD before launching resources. When something changes, it posts a comment with the cloud cost impact. e.g. you’ve added two instances and volumes and have changed an instance type from medium to large; this will increase your bill by 25% next month from $1000 to $1250 per month. Over the last few months, I've been working on a native evaluation for Terraform. Previously we relied on the Terraform CLI to fetch cloud resource information, which was a little slow and cumbersome. Native parsing is not only lightning-fast, but it means we have contextual file information, which allows us to try a load of cool new things. For example, we could provide real-time suggestions to optimise your cloud costs as you write your infrastructure code! This VSCode extension is the result of a few weeks of hacking away whilst I should have been relaxing in the sun in Italy... time better spent, I think! We're excited about the possibilities of directly integrating with editors. There is so much we can do to make DevOps lives easier when optimising cloud spend. Right now, we're looking for your feedback on this initial version of the extension. It currently ships with: 1. Show a snapshot of the total cost of resources right above their Terraform definitions. Updated on file save. 2. Resource and module blocks support showing cost estimates, including 3rd party module blocks. 3. A cost overview web-view shows a detailed breakdown of what components affect the price. Please note this is an early release of the VSCode extension, so there will likely be bugs. If you get stuck, please raise an issue (https://ift.tt/4tVswWH), and we'll help you out asap. We’d love to get your feedback on this extension, mainly what you think it’s missing and would help your workflow. Head over to the GitHub repo (https://ift.tt/1KABkp4) for more information and installation instructions.

Show HN: SubReply CSS – An exprimental classless CSS style that I am working on
2 by memorable | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! Recently I came across SubReply[0], a social media site, and its CSS style is really nice. So nice that I decided to rip it and modified it to become a classless CSS style. I spend about a few hours modding the CSS, removing/replacing class-based part, fixing bugs, and add additional features, such as custom blockquotes. The style will needs some more work, but basically it has done what it needs to do. I would love hearing your feedbacks and comments on the project! [0]: https://subreply.com

Show HN: Open-source tool to generate a video from any Wikipedia page
2 by ailef | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, this is a tool I built for fun two years ago, which I now decided to release as open source. It's a Java program that takes a Wikipedia page as input creates a video narrating the content of the page using a combination of sources for images and videos, plus Amazon Polly for speech synthesis. At the time, I wrote a detailed explanation[1] of how the tool works, if you're interested. The project is not active or currently maintained - I'm just releasing it because a few people requested it to me, and so I thought I might as well post it here! EDIT: Forgot to specify: although, in theory, this works with any Wikipedia page, it might not do so very well (or at all) in a few cases. For example if the input page is very short or it has an ambiguous word which will then not result in good matching images from Pixabay.

Show HN: Yuzu – The Stock and Crypto GraphQL/Streaming API for Rapid Development
3 by sdcoffey | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! Excited to show off Yuzu, the stock market and Crypto API we wish we always had. We built Yuzu to solve a problem we had while working on a prior project: current market data APIs are not built to enable rapid prototyping and scaling without a significant amount of upfront data engineering. In our previous app, a portfolio tracker, we had to ingest 30 years of historical data for stocks, crypto, ETFs, and mutual funds just so that we could re-expose that data to our frontend in a more efficient way. The number of API calls we would have had to make otherwise have made the app unusably slow. This is why we built Yuzu to power frontend fintech use cases with a first-ever GraphQL API and unlimited streaming connections for live price data. We believe that you should be able to prototype and launch your app in days instead of weeks without building up your own data warehouse of market data. Just one API call to fetch everything you need and you're off to the races. The API is live now - use the code "demo" to try it out and sign up to get your own free API key for personal use. We're excited to show this off to the HN community - excited to hear your feedback

This started out as a static HTML file, being used by some developers at my current employer to document "domain terminology" relevant to products we're building. Soon it became too much work to update the items in the HTML manually, so I added a JavaScript-based editor. It relies on a tiny Node.js server to write changes back to the HTML file. Not as user-friendly as a "normal" web-based application, but it does mean we can keep the HTML file under version control and follow our normal development process for making/tracking changes.

Show HN: Product Analytics in SQL with dbt
3 by mjirv | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! Like many data analysts and engineers, I love SQL and the dbt ecosystem. So it bothers me that we have to use separate tools for product analytics. We do our transformations, BI work, and ad-hoc queries in SQL, but when it's time to look at funnels and flows, we have to use (and procure) a separate platform like Mixpanel or Amplitude. This dbt package is a (very rough) start at fixing that. With it, you can create event streams and run funnel analyses via dbt[0]. More features like flows and retention are coming soon! But I'm mostly curious how you all are doing product analytics right now. Are you using a dedicated tool like Amplitude? What could be better? Do you want to do product analytics in SQL in the warehouse or would you rather it live somewhere else? Would love to get your thoughts, and thanks for taking a look! --- 0. (and soon, with dbt Server, in your favorite BI tool or SQL client): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdSMSbQxnO0&ab_channel=dbt

Show HN: Explore remote SQLite databases over SSH
2 by polyrand | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! As a big fan of SQLite, I always found the tooling to explore remote databases a bit lacking. Current solutions involve running an extra service in the remote host and exposing a port to access it. I built a small web app that can explore remote SQLite databases without having to run any service on the remote, you just need SSH. It works by sending sqlite3 CLI commands over a multiplexed SSH connection. The commands use the "-json" flag from the sqlite3 CLI. This basically turns the SSH connection into an JSON API for the remote SQLite database. The project is hosted on GitHub[0] and I wrote a blog post with more details about the project and how it works[1]. I'm still exploring multiple ideas and implementations details, but feedback is more than welcome. [0]: https://ift.tt/IQrxl07 [1]: https://ift.tt/blsikDK

Show HN: Nerd Crawler – we monitor original comic art sites so you don't have to
13 by chptung | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've been a fan of comics since I watched the X-Men Animated Series in the 90s, and I fell in love with collecting original comic art when I got my first Jim Lee sketch in high school. But, after missing out on some original comic art pieces because I didn't know when they were added for sale on websites, I decided to take it upon myself to make an app that monitors original comic art sites and emails/texts you when new art drops. It's called Nerd Crawler and I'm building it myself so there might be some bugs but I'm hoping it helps comic art collectors. It works with over 40 original comic art websites like Albert Moy (Jim Lee's art dealer), Cadence Comic Art, Artcoholics, a bunch of Big Cartel sites like Jim Cheung / Jason Fabok / Dustin Nguyen, Greg Capullo Art, Skottie Young, and more. It's free to try @ https://ift.tt/nupjF79 , and you can upgrade to a paid plan if you want text messages alerts or want to check sites every 10 minutes or 1 minute. From a technical standpoint, my tech stack is: - Ruby on Rails - Hosted on Heroku - Emails sent by Mailgun - Texts sent by Twilio - Images hosted on Cloudinary - Credit card charging handled by Stripe and the new, low-code Stripe Checkout The minimum viable product was built in about a week with minor bug fixes and new features added weekly. If you have any feedback, have art sites you wanted added, or questions, let me know!

Show HN: In-depth photographic look at all the golf courses I play
3 by golfer | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I'm an avid golfer; it's my main hobby. I decided to start taking pictures of all the courses I play. While there's a lot of golf websites out there, none of them really try to document the courses in depth and look at each hole, along with the course facilities like the practice areas. I live in Chicago and am starting with the courses in this area (of which there are dozens of public courses to play). While I play golf, I take photos with my phone of every (relevant) aspect of the golf course I can think of. Then they're processed and organized on the website. Obviously I'm starting this journey on my own, and in that sense it's not scalable. I won't be able to visit all the courses in the US, let alone the world. I hope to find others that would like to contribute to the effort. At some point I'd like to add course news and histories to the site. Many golf courses in the US are over 100 years old and have rich histories. And of course many older courses exist in Europe. I also have started adding descriptions/commentary for each hole on courses. For example, see: https://ift.tt/6V1b0FD... And maybe went a little overboard on this one: https://ift.tt/93d7lrk... Anyway, it's a fun project and could go in a lot of directions. PS: I'm always looking to expand my golfing circle. If you're in Chicago and want to play sometime, hit me up -- contact details are on the website.

Show HN: Crocodile - Better code review for GitHub
3 by jameslao | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've been working on a code review app for GitHub called Crocodile for about a year. I used to work at Microsoft where we used a tool called CodeFlow for reviewing code and I missed it after I left. I know many other ex-Microsoft engineers feel the same. Here are some of the distinguishing features of Crocodile that are inspired by CodeFlow: * Comments float above the code instead of being inline. Long discussions that are displayed inline make it really hard to review the code. * Comment on any text selection in the file, even a single character. * Comments don't get lost when code changes. I hate it when comments become "outdated" because I rebase or the line is edited. I also implemented lots of features that I wish CodeFlow had which you can read more about on the blog. [1] For those curious about the tech stack: it's mostly written in Go with Alpine.js, HTMX, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend. For storage I use PostgreSQL, S3 compatible object storage, and Redis for caching. I use Pulumi for infrastructure provisioning and Kubernetes deployments. Everything is hosted on DigitalOcean. Feedback is welcome! [1] https://ift.tt/ilgqmfn

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. Did you ever wonder what it takes to build and launch a software product from scratch? Not a high-level summary. Not a short essay that describes a year of development. Detailed, day to day activities. A captain's log. Mistakes and pivots. Technology choices. Marketing activities. Design considerations. You might know me as the creator of SumatraPDF. I'm starting a new software product from scratch and I decided to make it an experiment of building in public. I hope to inspire others to build more software by de-mystifying the process of creation. I'm on day 14. It's early but that is the point: you can follow along. Here's the daily dev diary: https://ift.tt/0LaB9Ty The product is Filerion, a web-based file browser / file manager with support for s3, Dropbox etc. I'll be posting updates to https://twitter.com/kjk but don't just follow along. Start building your own stuff as well. The world needs more great software.

Show HN: Data Diff – compare tables of any size across databases
23 by hichkaker | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Gleb, Alex, Erez and Simon here – we are building an open-source tool for comparing data within and across databases at any scale. The repo is at https://ift.tt/jKsW7Dz, and our home page is https://datafold.com/. As a company, Datafold builds tools for data engineers to automate the most tedious and error-prone tasks falling through the cracks of the modern data stack, such as data testing and lineage. We launched two years ago with a tool for regression-testing changes to ETL code https://ift.tt/psKYqnb. It compares the produced data before and after the code change and shows the impact on values, aggregate metrics, and downstream data applications. While working with many customers on improving their data engineering experience, we kept hearing that they needed to diff their data across databases to validate data replication between systems. There were 3 main use cases for such replication: (1) To perform analytics on transactional data in an OLAP engine (e.g. PostgreSQL > Snowflake) (2) To migrate between transactional stores (e.g. MySQL > PostgreSQL) (3) To leverage data in a specialized engine (e.g. PostgreSQL > ElasticSearch). Despite multiple vendors (e.g., Fivetran, Stitch) and open-source products (Airbyte, Debezium) solving data replication, there was no tooling for validating the correctness of such replication. When we researched how teams were going about this, we found that most have been either: Running manual checks: e.g., starting with COUNT(*) and then digging into the discrepancies, which often took hours to pinpoint the inconsistencies. Using distributed MPP engines such as Spark or Trino to download the complete datasets from both databases and then comparing them in memory – an expensive process requiring complex infrastructure. Our users wanted a tool that could: (1) Compare datasets quickly (seconds/minutes) at a large (millions/billions of rows) scale across different databases (2) Have minimal network IO and database workload overhead. (3) Provide straightforward output: basic stats and what rows are different. (4) Be embedded into a data orchestrator such as Airflow to run right after the replication process. So we built Data Diff as an open-source package available through pip. Data Diff can be run in a CLI or wrapped into any data orchestrator such as Airflow, Dagster, etc. To solve for speed at scale with minimal overhead, Data Diff relies on checksumming the data in both databases and uses binary search to identify diverging records. That way, it can compare arbitrarily large datasets in logarithmic time and IO – only transferring a tiny fraction of the data over the network. For example, it can diff tables with 25M rows in ~10s and 1B+ rows in ~5m across two physically separate PostgreSQL databases while running on a typical laptop. We've launched this tool under the MIT license so that any developer can use it, and to encourage contributions of other database connectors. We didn't want to charge engineers for such a fundamental use case. We make money by charging a license fee for advanced solutions such as column-level data lineage, CI workflow automation, and ML-powered alerts.

Show HN: Hagana – Runtime protection for Node.js to block supply chain attacks
2 by jackbeck | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I recently came across an amazing post that really emphasizes the dangers associated with installing npm packages. It seems that every week a new supply chain attack occurs. In my opinion, the existing solutions for this don't quite cut it so I decided to create a library which provides runtime protection for Node. It currently protects against: - Unauthorized file system access - Unauthorized network access - Unauthorized command execution - (by way of exec/spawn) I just released the first beta version of the library and I'd love to hear what you guys think. Note: Protection is still missing for post/pre install scripts, but that's up next.

Show HN: Free Datasets for Spatial Engineers and Location Analysts
2 by floriankuwala | 0 comments on Hacker News.
location data providers are often in the press with negative headlines. Those services aggregate movement data from apps and aggregate the data to derive movement patterns which might be helpful for marketers. In fact, I had two moments in my life where I evaluated a PoC with those location data brokers. They were all shady about where the data comes from which is important to understand the Bias of the data. I never got a good answer. The data often just represented < 0.4% of the population (at least in Europe - different game in the USA). For a big city they might have 20K unique users while in the city were more than 3M users living. They dismiss any professional data analytics principle. The data comes in CSV (if a lot of data they give you like 10 separate files). Data was not always plausible in itself Those experiences brought me to build certain parts of those data brokers but only with open-source data: If it is about location data you should know OpenStreetMap. It's the biggest Database with meta info on location. It's not perfect but big companies like Mapbox, Apple, and Microsoft rely on it. Since the API is kind of messy, you can load with this repository whole cities information smoothly into a PostGres --> https://ift.tt/hArlSaV Googe Popular Times: Movement data can be also found on Google. When you search a location it is often shown how frequently a place was visited on an hourly-daily basis (on an index of 0-100). With this libary you can access all the Popular Times data for location and entire cities --> https://ift.tt/5bFnq6A Global Admin Boundaries: A huge problem that often people feel when working with location data is aggregating the data into different geo-based slices (country level, admin level, or even smaller into sub-districts). Here is a repo that cleaned the data out of Open Street Map for geo boundaries worldwide from very broad to a very small granularity --> https://ift.tt/eLsAq2o I think with those Open Source Tools and some data science magic you can generate similar outcomes as those location data providers but totally anonymized and free. Would be awesome if anybody is interested in building a case around it :-)

Show HN: Effortless Authentication for Your Web Application
3 by fragile_frogs | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey folks, Michael here. I have been working in this project on and of for about a year and a half and I finally got it into a state where I can share it. I initially started this project to learn Rust and afterwards decided to make it useful for others. Vulpo Auth is an authentication server that you can host yourself. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for you to get started and have a complete authentication solution without you having to configure anything. Project Website: https://auth.vulpo.dev The Project contains: - Auth Server (Rust) - Admin Dashboard - JS and react SDK - Prebuilt Web UI (currently react) (https://ift.tt/PQZXdk3) - rust SDK for rocket Some of the features: - Email and Password Auth - Passwordless Auth - Google Auth - Translateable Email Templates - Enable/Disable Sign In or Sign Up - Password Reset Flow - Update Email Flow There is still a lot to do, the code base is full of experimental ideas and there a bunch of things to clean up, but first I want to focus on writing documentation and guides before adding more features. Besides the missing documentation, what are you missing?

Show HN: Unclutter — A new approach to reader mode
3 by phgn | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey! This is a reader mode browser extension I built that hides noisy page elements rather than extracting and re-rendering only the page text. The idea is to not make all articles look the same [0], have them still render graphs, and ideally to work in more cases. There are a few "tricks": patching the site CSSOM to apply simpler mobile styles even at desktop width, detecting the likely main text & removing its non-text siblings, blocklists for classnames that contain words like "sidebar", and testing this on a few hundred popular sites. I got carried away and also added a dark mode, page outlines, private annotations & inline Hacker News comments. The last feature works by parsing every top-level HN comment with a quote in it (formatted with > or "") within a few minutes, and anchoring these quotes in the related article HTML. So when you click a link on HN you’ll see the parts people are talking about while reading. [1] The code is all on GitHub! [0] Screenshots comparing it to the Firefox reader mode: https://ift.tt/yX2bJUM... [1] It's fun to try this on some of the "HN classics" that got 30+ quote comments over the years. Another project I built, https://ift.tt/GAWBE5O shows the number of "annotations" an article has beneath its title.

Show HN: Root Cause as a Service – Never dig through logs again
4 by stochastimus | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey Folks – Larry, Ajay and Rod here! We address the age old painful problem of digging through logs to find the root cause when a problem occurs. No-one likes searching through logs, and so we spent a few years analyzing 100’s of real world incidents to understand how humans troubleshoot in logs. And then we built a solution that automatically finds the same root cause indicators a human would have had to manually search for. We call it Root Cause as a Service. RCaaS works with any app and does not require manual training or rules. Our foundational thoughts and more details can be found here: https://ift.tt/1JTbwuz. Obviously, everyone is skeptical when they hear about RCaaS. We encourage you try it yourself, but we also have a really strong validation point. One of our customers performed a study using 192 actual customer incidents from 4 different products and found that Zebrium correctly identified the root cause indicators in the logs in over 95% of the incidents – see https://ift.tt/T0X8RIq. For those that are interested, this is actually our second SHOW HN post, our first was last June - https://ift.tt/jFZmx6E. The link in that post points to our current home page but our initial comment was, "We're excited to share Zebrium's autonomous incident detection software". At the time, our focus was on a tool that used unsupervised ML to automatically detect any kind of new or unknown software incident. We had done a lot of customer testing and were achieving > 90% detection accuracy in catching almost any kind of problem. But what we underestimated is just how high the bar is for incident detection. If someone is going to hook you up to a pager, then even an occasional false positive is enough for a user to start cursing your product! And users quickly forget about the times when your product saved their bacon by catching problems that they would otherwise have missed. But late last year we had a huge aha moment! Most customers already have monitoring tools in place that are really good at detecting problems, but what they don't have is an automated way to find the root cause. So, we built some really elegant integrations for Datadog, New Relic, Elastic, Grafana, Dynatrace, AppDynamics and ScienceLogic (and more to come via our open APIs) so that when there's a problem, you see details of the root cause directly on your monitoring dashboard. Here's a 2 minute demo of what it looks like: https://youtu.be/t83Egs5l8ok. You're welcome to sign-up for a free trial at https://www.zebrium.com and we'd love to hear your questions and feedback.

6 by Doches | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Hey, HN -- I just received the following email and I'm not sure what to do about it. Obviously I want to discourage requested-posting like this; is there some structured way that we can do that? One of the things I love about HN is how high the signal-to-noise ratio is relative to...pretty much the rest of the internet. I wouldn't ordinarily call someone out like this, but I want to innoculate HN against this sort of thing. ---- Hey doches, Not sure if it's conventional, but thought I'd ask anyway. Would you be open to posting about my product on Hacker News? I understand that similar to Product Hunt, HN gives higher priority to users with higher karma. I usually keep up with recent discussions via RSS feed on Feedly, but almost neve post. So I thought I'd reach out to someone that has authority. My product is called Popupular and it helps embed just about anything into a popup via a Google Chrome extension. [rest of email truncated]

Show HN: Cut your AWS costs by stopping non-production resources when not needed
12 by sriprasanna | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN community! Sri and Brian here from CloudPal (https://ift.tt/JAxs3UW). We are building a tool to help companies reduce their cloud costs by stopping non-production resources when they’re not needed. The problem: Almost every company on the cloud struggles with cost management. While optimizing production costs can be complex, reducing non-production costs should be a straightforward case of shutting down resources when they’re not in use. However, most companies lack an elegant solution for this. The solution: CloudPal - A downtime scheduler for non-production resources (currently supports AWS EC2 & RDS) - start / stop button, allowing users to override the schedule (eg. if working on weekends). Next up on the feature roadmap is: - Intelligent start / stop functionality for non-production resources - resources will automatically stop when not in use and quickly spin back up when needed, resulting in lots more delicious cost savings! - Support for more cloud providers and resource types (eg. ECS, K8s, etc.) We're really happy we get to show this to you all, thank you for reading about it! Please let us know your thoughts and questions in the comments. Many thanks, Sri & Brian

Show HN: FlexMeasures ― optimize flexible energy demand, in Python
2 by Nic56 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, this is for everybody who is interested in clean tech, especially real-time automation within new energy systems. We've been working on FlexMeasures for a while ― an energy management system (EMS) with a focus on using demand flexibility to its maximum potential. We're running it in several pilots ourselves, but our aim is to speed up the energy transition across the world. Let's not re-invent the wheel (i.e. a software stack around time series and optimization) too many times. Wherever you are in the world, and whatever setting you might be looking at (energy-modern housing in the U.S., smart e-mobility in Africa, self-balancing microgrids in Indonesia, etc.), maybe some of you will like our approach. We've decided that making it easy and clear for developers to build such energy solutions can bring the largest gains. The first step towards that goal was a permissive license (Apache 2.0). The latest step we took was a Docker image (we got a Docker-based tutorial here: https://ift.tt/9D8EIlY... ). You can see the code at https://ift.tt/STp12EG Since recently, FlexMeasures is a project within the Linux Energy Foundation ( https://ift.tt/T42kin6 ), which helps to establish a proper governance and quality standard. Actually, upcoming Thursday is our next Technical Steering Committee meeting, and interested people are warmly invited: Thursday, June 16 at 8:00 am US Pacific Time / 11:00 am US Eastern time / 5:00 pm Central European Time https://ift.tt/m93wyzJ We'd love to hear from you!

Show HN: Visualizing the math that powers 3D character animation
10 by diegomacario | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone! I'm the author of this project. I wrote it because I think that the math that makes characters move in games and movies is incredibly beautiful, and I wanted to give others a glimpse into it. It's crazy to think that quaternions, an abstract mathematical tool discovered by William Rowan Hamilton in 1843, would be so perfectly suited to solve hard problems in the world of 3D character animation more than a hundred years later. The story of how he discovered quaternions is also beautiful. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Hamilton was looking for ways of extending complex numbers (which can be viewed as points on a 2-dimensional Argand diagram) to higher spatial dimensions. In working with four dimensions, rather than three, he created quaternion algebra. According to Hamilton, on 16 October he was out walking along the Royal Canal in Dublin with his wife when the solution in the form of the equation i2 = j2 = k2 = ijk = −1 occurred to him; Hamilton then carved this equation using his penknife into the side of the nearby Broom Bridge (which Hamilton called Brougham Bridge)." There's a plaque that commemorates that moment on Broom Bridge now. If you have any questions about this project, I would love to answer them, but I recommend reading the README first, which should explain everything: https://ift.tt/hIkbasH... Thank you!

Show HN: The Tortoise – a sophisticated retirement calculator
2 by dnadler | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've been working on this calculator for some time now. It started off as a tool to help me do some retirement planning and I think it could be broadly useful to others as well. It's very generic, which is both good and bad. Good, because you are not beholden to the assumptions of the model, like in many other calculators. This also means that it’s not US centric. On the other hand, you do need a bit of financial planning knowledge to be able to use it effectively. There are many retirement calculators out there -- here's what I think The Tortoise does better than most: 1. An easy to use UI 2. Exposes all of the model's assumptions 3. Gives more detailed results than many calculators (more to come), and trusts the user to interpret them 4. Gives you the ability to export/import and save your scenarios 5. Allows you to compare different scenarios, and also perform 'what-if' analysis on Debts and Assets 6. Independent of any other business so there's no conflict of interest I also think there’s a real need for more financial education, and I hope that tools like this one will spark people’s curiosity and drive them to learn more. Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions or questions!

Show HN: WunderGraph – open-source API Developer Toolkit
18 by jensneuse | 12 comments on Hacker News.
Dear HN Community. We're Bjorn, Dustin, Stefan & Jens, the founders of WunderGraph. More than two years ago, Jens started WunderGraph as a Side Project. The initial idea was to solve the problem of integrating multiple disparate DataSources into a single, unified API Layer. While solving this problem, Jens realized that his mental model of APIs was wrong. Most API tools treat APIs as abstract things or just endpoints, in a very imperative way. At some point, he realized that there's a better model to think about APIs: APIs are dependencies and we should treat them in a declarative way! And that's how the idea of the "Package Manager for APIs"[1] came to be: WunderGraph is an API Developer toolkit which allows you to import and export APIs, just like npm packages. This is possible because every WunderGraph project generates a static, conflict-free and versionable artifact. It shouldn't take days to add a new 3rd party API to your API layer, with WunderGraph, this is possible in seconds. WunderGraph lets you define your API dependencies in a declarative way. The whole "Graph" of API dependencies is represented as an unified GraphQL Schema. Meta-data like API credentials, can be configured with our TypeScript SDK. API Operations are defined as regular GraphQL Operations. Custom middleware / business logic can be written using TypeScript. Finally, WunderGraph generates a Gateway + Client(s). Gateway and clients communicate via JSON-RPC. We call this approach "Compile-time" GraphQL queries. The client is 100% TypeSafe. The Gateway handles Authentication, Authorization, Caching, Middleware, etc... WunderGraph gives you the Developer Experience of working with a single, monolithic API layer, although you're using many different internal and external Services and Databases behind the scenes. WunderGraph Supports any OpenID Connect compliant IDP for Authentication, S3 for file storage, REST (OpenAPI), GraphQL & Apollo Federation for APIs and PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQLServer, Planetscale and MongoDB for the data-layer. Today, we're happy to announce that WunderGraph is finally Open Source! Check out the Monorepo[2] on GitHub. If you like our ambitions, give us a star! You can run WunderGraph locally and air-gapped, no strings attached. There's also a more extensive release post on our blog[3]. Have a look at the examples[4], we're keen to hear your opinion!

Show HN: Gaiman language for Web-based Terminal applications
2 by jcubic | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've created programming language based on Ruby that simplifies creating Terminal text-based games and applications in the browser. I've released first 1.0 beta version, but I'm still adding features and fixing bugs. I yet need to add more documentation and improve Gaiman playground. The repo for the language can be found on GitHub: https://ift.tt/9mOnivS the only documentation so far is the Wiki with [Reference manual][1] and [examples directory][2]. And playground can be found at gaiman.js.org. There is proper tutorial on my TODO list. I've created a game for it (guess the number) that is only 31 lines of code (with empty lines), I've added it to [git][3]. You can copy paste the code into playground and play with it. On my road map there is also node.js version, so you will be able to run your apps in the terminal. [1]: https://ift.tt/MJgeWPN [2]: https://ift.tt/I2aEuxF [3]: https://ift.tt/XgDhKT2

Show HN: To prevent dry eyes and back pain, I create a macOS app
2 by cswenshuo | 0 comments on Hacker News.
In 2019, I experienced eye soreness and back pain for a while because I was constantly working long hours in front of my 16 inch Macbook without any rest. I decided to do something to change that. I’m not a fan of Apple Watch or smartbands. So the first thing I did was looking for some reminder software to remind me to take a break in the App Store, but none of them were smart enough for my needs. I wish the software could automatically tell if I was working, rather than requiring me to manually set an alarm. At the same time, when I go to the bathroom or drink coffee, it can automatically increase the time I can continue to work afterward. So I created Eye Monitor. Eye Monitor is an automatic reminder tool. It judges whether you are using the computer through the use of the mouse and keyboard. (which means when a user is watching Youtube videos, Eye Monitor will consider it as not using computer. I haven't found a solution yet.) Whenever you use it continuously, your fatigue value will increase, and after a period of rest, your fatigue value will decrease automatically. When your fatigue value reaches the threshold you set, it will trigger a reminder (including the dock icon, status bar, notification, full-screen pop-up window, etc.). After a year of iteration, Eye monitor now has a chart to show your usage of the day. And users now can customize the fatigue threshold, rest duration, reminder interval, reminder style, etc., and even customize the text of the notification (My customized notification text is “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”) or upload your favorite picture as the wallpaper of the full-screen pop-up window.(Not so useful, but I like it.) I like to set the reminder interval very small, like 1 minute, so that when I turn off the reminder, 1 minute later the reminder will reappear again and I will decide to take a break. This software is like a bit of a nagging mom, taking the trouble to remind you to rest. I hope you will like it. Here is the App Store URL: [https://ift.tt/6pLQZg9

Show HN: Lorblets, a Little Puzzle Game
3 by matthewtoast | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Lorblets is a little puzzle game I made: https://ift.tt/CTyAiWu Lorblets is a variation on Lights Out. The goal of Lorblets is to turn ON all the lights. Unlike Lights Out (typically a grid of black and white squares), Lorblets puzzles have complex shapes (and bright colors!). The puzzles in Lorblets are generated at random from a seed, and they grow in size as you progress. The code quality is...not great? The design leaves something to be desired. And the game itself is a bit derivative. So why am I sharing this? Because I want to celebrate having shipped a complete game - modest though it may be. I'm a 39yo who has long dreamt of one day making a game. And yet I've tended to put my software engineering skills to work doing everything except that. I've devised complicated game mechanics on paper. I've written multiple overly complicated game "engines" in JavaScript. I've daydreamed for countless hours about my magnum opus: a 3D simulated open world with a natural language interface, narrative generation, character customization, scene building tools, a modding system... Long story short, that magnum opus has been fun to tinker on, but has not amounted to much beyond the spinning of wheels and the occupation of my free time. So over the Memorial Day holiday I decided to force myself to complete one game before the weekend was over. I would conceive the simplest possible game mechanic and UI. I would not worry if it was unoriginal. I would resist the urge to add complexity. I would not get bogged down standing up a framework. I would not build an "engine." I would not worry about clean code, or maintainability, or even performance. I would use the tech stack that I could work fastest in: web tech. And I would not worry that the astral projection of Jonathan Blow would visit me at night and chide me for having made a badly performing web browser game. So, Lorblets is the result. Whatever one might say about it, it IS a game, and that's something. Feedback is welcome of course - but I mostly just wanted to share my story with y'all.

Show HN: Reader mode extension with inline Hacker News comments
2 by phgn | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey! This is a reader mode browser extension I built that hides noisy page elements rather than extracting and re-rendering their text content. The idea is to not make all articles look the same [0], have them still render graphs, and ideally to work in more cases. There are a few "tricks": patching the site CSSOM to apply simpler mobile styles even at desktop width, cleaning up parents of DOM text nodes, blocklists for class names that contain words like "sidebar", plus manual CSS patches for popular sites. I got carried away and also added a dark mode, page outlines, privates notes & inline Hacker News comments. The last feature works by parsing every top-level HN comment with a quote in it (formatted with > or "") within a few minutes, and anchoring these quotes in the story article HTML. So when you open a link you'll directly see the parts people are talking about here. [1] The extension code is all on GitHub: https://ift.tt/xwMtY9n --- [0] Unclutter vs the Firefox reader mode: https://ift.tt/KZf5Dvp... [1] It's fun to try this on some of the "HN classics" that got 30+ quote comments over the years. The list at https://ift.tt/pgUPkV8 shows the number of "annotations" a link has beneath its title.

Show HN: Linkians, a sims-like game that happens in your url bar with emojis
2 by escot | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I made https://linkians.com which is a game where all the action and state is contained in the url. There's no server, just emojis in the url and client-side logic. Any linkians url using the supported emojis is a valid game state so you can save your game, or type out your own url and send it to a friend. The game involves taking care of little pets (emojis) that live in your url bar. Kind of like tamagotchi or sims. Feed them, play with them, and watch out for enemies! In terms of the technical details: It's a static web page. It looks at the url for the initial game state, or starts you off with the default. On an interval the game loop kicks in by reading the url, producing a new game state by having one character act, and updating the url again using history.replaceState. Handling unicode has been fun (like a right-to-left bug). I'd appreciate any feedback.

Show HN: MLEM – ML model deployment tool
12 by aguschin | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I'm one of the project creators. MLEM is a tool that helps you deploy your ML models. It’s a Python library + Command line tool. 1. MLEM can package an ML model into a Docker image or a Python package, and deploy it to, for example, Heroku. 2. MLEM saves all model metadata to a human-readable text file: Python environment, model methods, model input & output data schema and more. 3. MLEM helps you turn your Git repository into a Model Registry with features like ML model lifecycle management. Our philosophy is that MLOps tools should be built using the Unix approach - each tool solves a single problem, but solves it very well. MLEM was designed to work hands on hands with Git - it saves all model metadata to a human-readable text files and Git becomes a source of truth for ML models. Model weights file can be stored in the cloud storage using a Data Version Control tool or such - independently of MLEM. Please check out the project: https://ift.tt/xzoCDUq and the website: https://mlem.ai I’d love to hear your feedback!

Show HN: Firefox extension to obfuscate web page text
44 by Vinnl | 19 comments on Hacker News.
Sometimes you might want to share a screenshot of the website you're on, without revealing the personal data that is visible at that time. With Obfuscate, you can make text unreadable without changing the structure of the web page. Hit the extension button or press Alt+Shift+O to activate for the current page. (Note that extensions can't modify the add-on website, so trying it on there won't work.) Credit for the original idea: https://ift.tt/vL1iyPK
