Show HN: Stable Diffusion implementation in Rust/libtorch
2 by l-m-z | 0 comments on Hacker News.
This is an implementation of Stable Diffusion in Rust using libtorch bindings - including some nice samples of rusty robots! It follows the lines of Huggingface's (amazing) diffusers library. The main goal is to show how a complex model can be converted and re-used on the Rust side.

Show HN: Crowd.dev – The open-source platform for community-led growth
14 by jonathan_re | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone, after months of work we’re excited to show you crowd.dev - the open-source platform for community-led growth. We created crowd.dev with the belief that the future of business relies on thriving communities - particularly in the fast-growing open-source and developer space. Developers have increased buying power when it comes to the technologies their companies use, and the way to their hearts isn’t through paid ads or sales reps but through authentic community interactions. In other words, developer-focused companies (open-source, API, dev tools) need communities to grow. While crucial for every developer-first company, community building is complex and time-consuming work. The developer community tech stack is fragmented, and organizations are stuck managing endless platforms and working with incomplete data. Today, the term “community” gets used to describe everything from social media followers to online learning groups to DAOs. There has been a lot of hype around community, but the ability to turn it into real value and growth is still nascent. We see the need for a platform focussing solely on developer communities. “One-size-fits-all” doesn’t make sense when communities are different in terms of their members’ motivations, the platforms that they live on, or the business objectives that they should fulfill. Furthermore, we believe that an essential tool for open-source companies, as community management is, should be open-source itself. Since the beginning of 2022, several hundred companies have joined our closed beta, including some of the fastest growing open-source companies in the world, like Meilisearch, CrowdSec, or Dragonfly. Starting today, crowd.dev is also an open-source project. We’re looking forward to any feedback!

Show HN: Subify subscription – Process of research and developing a new product
2 by ponchsava | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone. This is Reza, Growth manager at Subify, About two years ago, we released our first app on Shopify. An app called “Hengam Restock" helped merchants inform their customers that their products are back in stock. In 2 years, more than 200,000 products were back-in-stock through our app, and customers were notified. This method worked for the stores and increased their sales by more than 15%, but we were looking for a way that could help them sell better and solve their other problems, like inventory management. We searched for a few weeks and found a good solution. Subscription . If the stores could sell their products on a subscription basis, there would be no need to guess how many products to keep in the warehouse. Before that, this number could be much less than the required amount or more than the required amount. Each of these has its problems. With this method, they know with a good approximation how many people will buy a product next month, and they supply the same amount of stock. On the other hand, they can even guess how much income they will have next month and spend accordingly. At that time, there were several apps for this work in Shopify, but these apps had several fundamental problems. 1. Working with these apps was not easy; sometimes, merchants needed to hire a third party to help them use these apps. 2. They were costly and intended only for large stores, while This problem was also the problem of small and medium stores and they needed this product too. 3. A store's needs in the subscription can be very diverse. Some want to create a subscription box, some need a landing page for subscription products, some want a membership and loyal customer club, etc. These apps did not have strong support, subscription knowledge, and customer success manager to help the merchant in these ways. At best, there was simple support that only dealt with fundamental problems. All of this made us think of creating our subscription app; thus, the "Subify subscription" was born. The app is simple, and everyone can easily use it; it has a reasonable price, and merchants can start working without paying any initial amount. In addition to this, Subify subscription support surprisingly responds to your messages in less than 1 minute, and experienced customer success managers are by your side to make sure you succeed :) Now Subify subscription has experienced tremendous growth in a short time, reached the rank of 300 out of 7000 apps, and serves many customers, including Shopify Pluses. Let us know what you think of our app and how we can make it a better resource by taking a look at it.

Show HN: Virtual JSON Viewer – Virtual DOM, Full Text Search and JQ
2 by paolosimone | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I built a custom tailored browser extension for rendering and navigating Json responses and files, hopefully it could be useful also to someone else. Why? I often need to debug fairly large json files (10MB+). For a time I used a combination of JQ in the terminal for filtering and Firefox native viewer for full text search. Then I had an epiphany "Wait a sec, I am a developer! How hard could it be to combine those features in a single product?". Harder than I expected (of course), but still, here we are. Disclaimer: I'm a backend developer by day, no designers were harmed in the making of the UI/UX :)

2 by markwinvi | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, Would love to hear your feedback I just released the beta for a no-code builder specifically for people selling on Gumroad. Seeing lots of artsy and non-technical folks selling through Gumroad, their only real option when advertising is to create a sales page throuh something like Square or Wix. Like all non-niche things, this becomes hard when you actually want to link up your payment and email subscribers directly to your page. (Not to even mention affiliate sellers). Wrapping gum is my response to this So if you're a seller on Gumroad, would love to hear some feedback from you on whether or not you would find this usefull or not Brutal feedback is always encouraged :) Thank you

Show HN: Checksum.sh verify every install script
13 by gavinuhma | 1 comments on Hacker News.
The pattern of downloading and executing installation scripts without verifying them has bothered me for a while. I started messing around with a way to verify the checksum of scripts before I execute them. I've found it a really useful tool for installing things like Rust or Deno. It's written entirely as a shell script, and it's easy to read and understand what's happening. I hope it may be useful to someone else!

Hey - We're building https://luabase.com/ . tl;dr - Luabase is a data stack for web3 teams. We make it easy to query any blockchain with SQL, analyze it in notebooks, and embed the data in your app with our API. You can answer questions like: how many people that used Uniswap also have an ENS / .eth address? I know a lot of people here hate crypto. I get it. There's a lot of bullshit and scams in crypto. I'm personally drawn to it because a lot of financial applications suck and crypto provides a set of open source tools to build better ones. Anyway, if you're into web3, check it out and let me know if I can answer any questions. I'll be around.

Show HN: Klipit.in – Online clipboard, quickly share data across devices
2 by yashg | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, wanted to share about my new project called Klipit. How do you quickly share data between devices? Here's what most people do – - Send it to someone on WhatsApp or other messaging service. - Email it to themselves. - Use a note taking application like Google Keep, Apple Notes or OneNote (my preferred way until now). All of these require you to already have those services logged into on both the devices. Logging into any service on a new device these days is a tedious process involving 2-factor authentication. What if there was a quick way to share data between devices? One that did not require any logins or installing any apps? Starting with this thought, I built Klipit.in. An online clipboard to share data quickly between devices. You get an instant online clipboard with a unique link. No need to create any account. You can paste any data to this clipboard and simply open the link on another device. Nothing to install, no logins required. Quick and easy. There is also a QR code which you can scan to open the clipboard in browser. Some features that I may add depending on how it takes off - - Password protection - Real time refresh - Sharing files - Klipit account with multiple clipboards - Custom clipboard URL Play with it and let me know what you think.

2 by hieu_dinh | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello everyone! As a developer, I use deeplinks a lot to test my app. Before I build Deeplink Buddy, here's my workflow whenever I want to run a deeplink on a simulator: 1. Save all deeplinks in a note 2. Manually find and edit the param of the deeplink I want to run 3. Copy the deeplink and paste it to the terminal or the Calendar in the simulator 4. Run the deeplink Now with Deeplink Buddy, everything will be super simple and easy: - All your deeplinks are stored in one app and synced with iCloud, so you never lose them - A clean and intuitive interface that helps you quickly find the param and update it - Easily select the simulator you want to run the deeplink. You can also run the deeplink on your mac to test your mac app. - Run your deeplink with just one click If you have any feedback/questions/suggestions, please let me know below!

Show HN: Podcastsaver.com – a search engine testbench dressed as a podcast site
2 by hardwaresofton | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I submitted PodcastSaver (https://ift.tt/XYuwC8s) before but the reason it's interesting now is that I've started converting it into a live search engine test-bench. I've discussed it a bit here[0], and this idea has been kicking around in my head for a while so I got a chance to do some related writing about it with Supabase[1]. The basic idea is to use a modest piece of the podcast index[2] as a place to test out different new age search engines against each other. So far there are two engines running: - Postgres FTS + pg_trgm (tuned -- indices are there, I did some EXPLAINing earlier today to tighten things up, but still all built-in tech) - Meilisearch (untuned -- just stand it up, give it resources and put in documents) To that effect, I've added a "nerds" page you should peruse: https://ift.tt/K0NHoEG On that page you can: - choose your search engine - choose whether to force disable the cache (obviously... you'd want that, for the results to mean anything, but for regular people surfing the cache is on!) As far as actually getting the podcast search really good, there is a ton of curation left to do so it's a subpar consumer product still, but it's interesting from at least this angle!

Hey HN, I submitted PodcastSaver (https://ift.tt/XYuwC8s) before but the reason it's interesting now is that I've started converting it into a live search engine test-bench. I've discussed it a bit here[0], and this idea has been kicking around in my head for a while so I got a chance to do some related writing about it with Supabase[1]. The basic idea is to use a modest piece of the podcast index[2] as a place to test out different new age search engines against each other. So far there are two engines running: - Postgres FTS + pg_trgm (tuned -- indices are there, I did some EXPLAINing earlier today to tighten things up, but still all built-in tech) - Meilisearch (untuned -- just stand it up, give it resources and put in documents) To that effect, I've added a "nerds" page you should peruse: https://ift.tt/K0NHoEG On that page you can: - choose your search engine - choose whether to force disable the cache (obviously... you'd want that, for the results to mean anything, but for regular people surfing the cache is on!) As far as actually getting the podcast search really good, there is a ton of curation left to do so it's a subpar consumer product still, but it's interesting from at least this angle! Going to add more search engines later but who knows when (this project was supposed to be short!). I can't add every engine on the huge list of new-age search engines[3], but I can say that I will get to highlighting all of them in Awesome F/OSS[4]... Eventually.

Show HN: mirrord – run your local code in the context of your cloud environment
16 by eyalbukchin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, I’m Eyal, co-founder and CTO of MetalBear, the company behind mirrord. We’ve recently released version 3.0 of mirrord - it’s the first version of the product that we believe can provide daily value for backend developers. mirrord is a free, open-source (MIT) product that cuts your development loops by making it easier and faster for your local code to “meet” your cloud environment. mirrord lets you “plug” your local process into your Kubernetes cluster. When you run your process with mirrord, it completely wraps your process in the context of the corresponding service on your cluster - it essentially proxies all of your process’ input/output to the remote pod, from network traffic to file access to environment variables, so that you can keep running your process from the familiar comfort of your local environment, but with input, configuration, and state from the cloud. While mirrord can be used in a lot of ways, our ideal use case is for it to be used for concurrent work on a shared, mature development or staging environment. Instead of maintaining multiple environments, each with its own state, maintenance, and cloud costs, organizations can now leverage a single well-maintained production-like environment for use by multiple developers or teams. mirrord is written in Rust, and the technology behind it is quite interesting (and we actually wrote some blog posts about it, see in our company blog [1]): - mirrord injects itself into the executed process, hooking most of the libc APIs, then decides what to run locally and what to run remotely - This lets us run only a specific process in the context of the remote environment, unlike similar solutions which use VPN or edit system files - In order to hook functions, it uses the fantastic Frida framework As for our business model, we plan to launch a managed service to complement the open-source offering of mirrord. The service is intended to help you manage the use of the product in a team/enterprise context. We would love your feedback, and would appreciate your support by: - Trying out mirrord [2]! - Joining our Backend Engineers Discord community [3] - Telling your friends - Contributing to our codebase or opening issues [4] Let me know what you think!

Show HN: An investment forum where everyone manages a $1M imaginary portfolio
4 by raymondmoay | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi there! Made LongTermBoard.com as a Jr. FE engineer fresh from leaving the investment field but still in love with it. Back then, I'd read articles on investment forums and wanted a quick way to determine if I should spend time reading the analysis. I wanted a quick way to determine if the author is a good investor. LongTermBoard solves this by making it easy to view the competency of the author by seeing his investment performance of his profile. It's long-only for now, as the goal is to look for great long-term businesses to invest in. It ain't perfect as its a controlled investment environment, but my hope is that over the longer term, the portfolio performance should be a good proxy. It's super rough now, so hope it doesn't break.

Most sites I work on have at least one contact form and I got tired of building out the logic to send them and handle the spam into every project. I built and launched Sendfly for myself 5 years ago and it's been a rock solid service that I've relied on ever since. Recently I've done a full re-write, simplifying the product and making it super affordable. I wanted to share it here in case it comes in handy for someone else. There are lots of competitors out there but I found them too expensive for my needs. For $15/year you get unlimited forms and 5,000 form submissions every year. Hoping that fits the bill for developers like me!

Show HN: Ask our algorithm and real financial expert anything about your money
34 by cgoodmac | 6 comments on Hacker News.
It’s pretty simple: ask us absolutely anything about your finances (it’s okay to be really specific to your situation!) and our algorithm backed by a Certified Financial Planner will give you a hyper-personalized spot-on answer, for free. Go ahead and stump us! Let’s really kick the tires on this thing :) Up until now, we've been doing comprehensive financial advising for free. Our most popular feature is the ability to just ask us anything so we figured why not make that feature available for everyone? Also for free :) Some more context: Uprise’s mission is to make wealth management/financial optimization as accessible as possible (ie, free) and we think the key is to have an amazing algorithm and database of financial rules/products but backed by a real financial expert to make sure the recommendations are good and to refine the algorithm. If you love it please feel free to share with anyone you know that could use some advice on their finances! We’re happy to help as many people as we can. Some example questions people have had: - What should I change about my finances once my student loans are forgiven? - How do I adjust my finances to deal with inflation or recession? - Which credit card should I open next? - I work at Tesla - can you look at my benefits and make sure I’m taking full advantage? Feel free to send feedback/questions here! chris@uprise.us Thanks for looking at this!

The idea is that it should be useful both for generating static files and for generating responses live in a server, which it should be able to do very fast since it all compiles to C code and one memory mapped file.

Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release. Quick list of features: - Workspaces - Tabs - Nested Folders - Lots of context menus - Response history - Plugins - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions - Desktop builds for all platforms - GraphQL support - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia - Simple user friendly interface I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the browser. If you're tired of Postman's bloated interface and slow startup times, do give this a try.

Show HN: APIs and SDKs to help developers build pricing plans faster
23 by antonzy | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN Community, As an ex-founder of a developers-for-hire agency, I was fortunate to build for many different software organizations around the world, and partner with the most talented product teams. One of the things I learned by coding was how painful it is to build & maintain pricing in SaaS. The pricing structure and logic always end up being coupled with the core application code and the billing platform. The product catalog is typically managed in spreadsheets, by the product & monetization teams, while all the possible package types, including the legacy ones, are typically hardcoded across different git repositories. Together with our founding team, we have decided to devote ourselves to help solve this problem, and make it much easier for developers everywhere to build out pricing. At Stigg, we’re building APIs and SDKs that allow engineering teams to safely launch and roll-out pricing plan changes, faster. At their core, our APIs allow you to model any pricing (Trials, Freemium, Usage-based, Subscriptions, Per seat) and handle the access control and provisioning logic. We’re trying to build our platform in such a way that after the first integration, any future changes could be deployed by anyone - allowing developer teams to free-up their time from this tedious maintenance work. We have planned ahead and have already introduced reach functionally like plan migrations and versioning, multiple environments support, a/b testing, and embeddable components you can use such as paywall widget, or customer portal widget. This way, you can ship pricing plans without having to do a full Phd on pricing & billing ontology. We're just getting started and have a bunch of things on our roadmap. But we’d love to get feedback from the HN community to check that we’re on the right way.

Show HN: Lvlup – Habits and Journal
2 by erolasan | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I am excited to share something i've been working on for a while with you! lvlup is a fun and efficient habit trainer which uses innovative science-based methods and gamification to systematically help you build life-changing habits and get you closer to your goals. It follows a gradual habit-building process accompanied by self-reflection tools and personalized habit-specific reminders to keep you motivated along the way. Main concepts: - Start with a habit so easy you can’t say ‘no’ to it and then slowly build up. Along the way, your willpower and motivation will increase, making it easier to stick to your habit for good. - If you are struggling with a habit, split it into smaller sessions to make it easier to accomplish and maintain momentum. - Journal and reflect on your past progress and mood to keep yourself motivated and figure out why you are crushing some habits, and struggling with others. - Complete your habits consistently and unlock new achievements, titles, avatars and more fun rewards. I am looking forward to getting your feedback on lvlup! Thanks, Erol

Show HN: HacKit, a macOS app for reading Hacker News stories and polls
4 by anosidium | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I wrote a macOS app for reading Hacker News stories and polls and recently released version 3.0 with new features. It is written in Swift and uses AppKit framework. It is a Mac-first app which is built for the macOS design language. It looks and feels and works like a proper macOS app made with love and care. It is not a port of an iOS nor an iPadOS app nor anything else. I am quite proud of it and I hope you can appreciate it too. So, I recently updated it to version 3.0 with new features such as tracking stories by marking it as (un)read, (un)favourite and (un)hidden. There is also folder management to organise stories and smart folders that track stories by certain attributes. It also supports the Touch Bar with customisations. I would love it, if you could try it out and let me know what you think of it! I welcome feedback and please do let me know if there are any bugs or crashes. I did all the testing myself to the best of my ability. Oh and about the in-app purchases, it is just the tip jar and it is completely optional. The app and all its features are absolutely free to use. If you like HacKit, please kindly leave feedback on the App Store. It really helps, no really! Have a good week!

I did all the testing myself to the best of my ability. Oh and about the in-app purchases, it is just the tip jar and it is completely optional. The app and all its features are absolutely free to use. If you like HacKit, please kindly leave feedback on the App Store. It really helps, no really! Have a good week!

Show HN: Projectbook – a free collection of 100 project ideas for learning
3 by brettcodes | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've been hoarding ideas for what would make good learning projects when exploring new languages, frameworks, and libraries for years. So I decided to flesh those ideas out, create some mock-ups, and share them with the public. I originally just had ~20 projects, but as I kept working on it, more ideas kept coming up and it ended up coming to 109 ideas so far. Hope they offer some inspiration or guidance for those trying to learn but not sure what to build. Projectbook is free and open source. Contributions are welcome. And I'll keep adding to it as I come across ideas, resources, and implementations.

Show HN: Tiny:optional – a C++ optional that does not waste memory
2 by Sedenion | 0 comments on Hacker News.
tiny::optional is a header-only C++ library for x86/x64 intended to be a drop-in replacement for std::optional with the twist that it does not require additional memory for bools, floats, doubles and raw pointers. For example, a standard optional double has twice the size of a raw double because of 7 padding bytes after the internal bool. These wasted bytes can have a notable impact on performance in memory bound applications. On the other hand, a tiny::optional double has the size of a double by exploiting unused bit patterns. For other types such as integers, it allows to specify a "sentinel" value that represents the empty state, again causing the optional to have the same size as the underlying type. Quick example: https://ift.tt/abie6Bu

Show HN: ESInfer – Make JavaScript Type-Safe
25 by jiangmy | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, folks. I'm Jiang, the author of ESInfer. I love writing Javascript because it has a prosperous ecosystem and is quick to get my hands dirty. However, sometimes it's painful when the flow is not fast to follow due to the lack of a type system. To solve this, I wrote ESInfer, a statical inference tool, to automatically type check and generate type annotations for Javascript. It works with pure Javascript without any add-ons to the language or user-space code and supports highly dynamic features, such as the modification of prototypes. It is still in the very early stage, which offers almost all ES5 features and a select set of ES6 features like array/object destructing. I'm working hard to bring all ES6+ features into it incrementally. If you heavily use javascript/typescript and do NOT want to write the type annotation sh*ts anymore, give it a try :)

3 by praveenweb | 0 comments on Hacker News.
We recently added a streaming GraphQL API to Hasura to allow clients to consume data from Postgres as a stream easily. There are solutions to ingest and store a large amount of data or a stream of data. However, once this data has been captured, securely exposing this data as a continuous stream to a large number of HTTP clients concurrently is a challenge. And that’s where streaming GraphQL API fits in.

Show HN: Code of War – Satirical book about moving up the IT corporate ladder
3 by markozivanovic | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello dear HN crowd, I love when I stumble upon a developer war story in a random comment here on HN. I love it so much that I also wanted to share some of the stories I've collected over the years working in IT. I came up with the idea to present the stories in a somewhat unusual way, in the style of the malicious self-help book. The book gives you advice on how to succeed in IT, from the interview phase to the management, by acting like an immoral, unscrupulous person. The advice is based on experiences with some shady, weird people I met throughout my career. After every chapter, there's a short story about the person who was the chapter's inspiration. I've worked with those people, so everything is a first-hand experience! This was my first attempt at doing something like this, so go easy on me! :) One cool fact! I used entirely free and open-source software for the creation of this title. That's why I'll donate 10% of all the proceeds to my favorite free software projects!

Show HN: Open-Sourcing InboxSDK (YC S11) – Build Apps in Gmail
15 by alooPotato | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! We’re Aleem, Chris, Borys, Meichen and Zach from Streak (YC S11) and today we’re open sourcing our InboxSDK https://ift.tt/BHsKoYf , which makes it easy to build apps for Gmail. Over 1.8B users spend their days in Gmail! Having your app built into the Gmail workflow is a better user experience and gives you great user retention. InboxSDK gives you a high-level, declarative API to insert your UI into Gmail without having to directly manipulate the DOM yourself. End users install a browser extension to use your app. The SDK can add UI to multiple areas of Gmail. For example, adding a button is as simple as: composeView.addButton({ title: "My Nifty Button!", iconUrl: 'https://ift.tt/Y0iPsgw', onClick: function(event) { event.composeView.insertTextIntoBodyAtCursor('Hello World!'); }, }); InboxSDK enables you to add info to the sidebar on threads, add items in the left navigation tree, insert results into the search box, navigate to full page routes, add toolbar buttons to the compose window, add label indicators to thread list views and many more. You can see some examples in my comment posted below. Hubspot, Dropbox, Giphy, Clickup, Loom, Todoist, Clearbit and our own Streak have all built apps using the InboxSDK. The InboxSDK is open source dual-licensed under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses for maximum flexibility. Why use the InboxSDK over rolling it yourself? Several reasons: (1) it’s hard to do DOM manipulation in a performant way; (2) you need to handle all the different configurations of Gmail—there are a lot, and they change often: e.g. conversation view on/off, multiple inboxes, chat left/right, personal vs Workspace accounts; (3) You have to maintain compatibility with tons of other Gmail extensions so you don’t stomp over each other. On a technical level, the InboxSDK handles all the DOM watching and manipulation, XHR interception, multiple extension coordination, and exposes a high level API to developers. We make use of page-parser-tree, another package we open sourced that helps detect elements on the page performantly. The trickiest bit we handle is intercepting and modifying network requests that Gmail makes in order to support several of the APIs we expose. We’ve been building this SDK for years - it’s what powers Streak (www.streak.com), an 8 figure ARR SaaS business. We built the InboxSDK for ourselves because we wanted to separate our logic for wrangling Gmail from that of our app. Several years ago we let developers use a hosted version of our SDK. We didn’t want anyone else to go through the same pain to integrate deeply with Gmail. There were two unexpected benefits: It vastly increased the number of end users (20M+) using apps built on our SDK. This gave us significant leverage with Google. They are super supportive of the SDK and give us early access to several builds to ensure the SDK doesn’t break when they make updates to Gmail. We spent an ungodly amount of time maintaining compatibility with other Gmail extensions. Once the InboxSDK became a defacto standard, all the apps (currently >1000) that used it were instantly compatible (the InboxSDK operates under the model that there will be several extensions running at the same time and it elects a leader to route all modification through). Why open source it now? First, several companies were nervous about us hosting the SDK. We mainly did this so that every extension was running the same version of the SDK, but with the recent Chrome manifest V3 changes, remote code execution is no longer supported. Not hosting the SDK removed the primary reason why the project needed to be closed source. We do need to figure out a new way of keeping all developers relatively up to date on the latest version of the SDK, any ideas? We’d love feedback! The repo is https://ift.tt/KWbl3dC , and the docs are: https://ift.tt/FAETqWG

I also believe that anyone can learn the soft-skills needed to accelerate their programming career. I wish I’d had better resources to learn these things in the early years of my career and I’m hoping this book will become a useful resource for the next generation of programmers to build successful careers. What this book covers: Choosing a career path: generalist vs. specialist What makes you a senior engineer? How to deal with feeling like an impostor How to build trust and work with your manager How to recover when you make a mistake, and what to do during incidents How to ask better questions How to read and understand unfamiliar code How to add value to your team and company How to identify and manage risk How to deliver better results How to communicate more effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences The importance of a healthy work-life balance How to ask for a promotion, and how to prepare for it I wrote this book because these soft-skills are rarely taught in coding bootcamps or computer science degrees, yet they are critical to every programmer’s career trajectory. Almost every programmer I know, including me, had to learn and develop these soft-skills on the job. It took hard work and a lot of trial and error to learn how to communicate my ideas effectively, navigate office politics, manage risk, and so many other things that programmers encounter in their jobs today.

Show HN: Linkidex – Bookmarks, but way better.
2 by rdavidr | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! My name is David (david@linkidex.com) and I am the author of Linkidex (www.linkidex.com)! My goal is to make bookmarks better. I built Linkidex because I was getting overwhelmed by the number of things I had to keep track of on the internet during my day to day job. Constantly needing to re-find various wikis or jira epics or project proposals or whatever was eating into my day. I was using a chrome extension to manage urls, but the extension was getting unwieldy as my list of “important URLs” grew and I started looking for alternatives. There are a few really cool bookmark managers out there, but I wasn’t satisfied with what I saw. Regular bookmarks don’t cut it either for me as I need something that works across browsers and devices. Thus, Linkidex was born. The most basic idea with Linkidex is that you can go to Linkidex and just start typing. Linkidex will search across your link titles, link urls, categories, and tags all at once. Click the result you are looking for and it opens in a new tab. If you want to scope your search by specific categories or tags you can do that too. Linkidex is a progressive web application. It (mostly) works offline and it can be downloaded to your phone and act like a native app without requiring you to grant it any permissions. The back end is rails, and the front end is React, Typescript and GraphQL. Security wise it is deployed to AWS. The database and back end are all wrapped up in a VPC. The front end supports 2 factor and WebAuthn, so you can use a yubikey or your device's fingerprint reader as your second factor. Linkidex can import and export bookmarks to and from your favorite browser. That said, I’ve limited the number of links / categories / tags a given user can have for now on Linkidex to prevent anything insane from happening. All feedback / feature requests / complaints / whatever welcome. Thanks for checking out Linkidex!

Show HN: Minimal, no-JS web forum software
2 by demindiro | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend. As it is intended for self-hosting I aim to make it easy to set up and maintain. Getting it up & running takes no more than a few commands (bar setting up a proxy such as nginx, which is out of scope). I've set up a "demo" site at https://ift.tt/qIotz6m if you want to try out the UI.

Show HN: A.I. Runner with Stable Diffusion
2 by w4ffl35 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I have been here a few times showing off tools that I have created for Stable Diffusion. This is my latest creation, A.I. Runner. It is an application which allows you to run Stable Diffusion locally. It runs on GPU or CPU (slower), allows you to watch the images generate in real-time, offers a NSFW checkbox, and installs all requirements including the model. You can also go from cold start to generating images in seconds. I have many more features in the works including the ability to run more models (thus the more generic branding).

2 by marginalia_nu | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Been messing with cosine similarity and decided to try calculating nearest neighbors over the entire link graph for the marginalia search engine. Turns out that you can just bruteforce that in a day or two. And the results are pretty good. One drawback is that depending on if you're looking at an older website, a lot of the links are dead. The deduplication isn't great either.

Show HN: Simplepdf.eu – a browser-based PDF annotator / editor
2 by nip | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've been working on SimplePDF to solve a problem I encounter weekly: filling out non-editable PDFs [1] --- # About SimplePDF - The documents you load, edit, fill never see the light of my server, everything is processed locally – no remote uploading anything. This includes the PDF generation. - There are no analytics / third party tracking your every move (I do collect usage data, but it's fully anonymous and processed and stored on my server): therefore no annoying cookie banner. You can read more on the Privacy Policy [2] - If someone before you has filled the same document, upon opening it you'll see fields already set, ready to be filled-in, think crowd-sourced fields positioning – saving you time and effort. --- # How does the crowd-sourced positioning of fields work? When a document is loaded in your browser, a fingerprint of the document binary is made, and sent to the server. The document table consists of: document_id, fingerprint and created_at. As soon as you start editing a document, a template is created, containing metadata about the fields (x, y, width, height, type of field, background color...) that is then tied to this document you created. Once you save, this template gets sent to the server. The template table consists of: template_id, document_id, fields (the metadata) as well as created_by_customer_id if you're a customer. As a result, someone else on the other side of the world opening the same document will see the fields you positioned already there – you just saved them the 5min it took you to position them. --- # What's the tech stack of SimplePDF? - NextJS on the frontend - Koa with GraphQL on the backend - Postgres (Managed Database on Digital Ocean) - A 10€ droplet on Digital Ocean --- If you have any questions, comments or feedback (good or bad), I'm all ears! --- [1] The assignments my estonian teacher gives me are usually scanned documents that do not have any editable fields in them.

Show HN: BlockTalk – Banter about what your friends are doing on Web3
2 by kjkisielewicz | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I’m Kamil and one of the two people working on BlockTalk. BlockTalk is going into public beta today! (We're also on Product Hunt, come check us out!) We previously posted about this project under the name “WalletWatch” in a Show HN about 3 weeks ago, and have since integrated your feedback to make it better [1] [problem] As we were trying to see how our friends were using crypto, we noticed that other products were either too complex or only let us passively view what our friends were doing. [solution] BlockTalk is a social network centered around Ethereum transactions. You can easily see, understand, like, and comment on the Ethereum transactions of anyone on the platform. We don’t ask for your email or password, and instead authenticate by asking users to sign a transaction with their Ethereum wallet; we ask for usernames to give a more familiar and user-friendly experience for people that haven’t purchased ENS or other crypto domain names. At the moment, we’re storing user data in Firestore instead of on-chain because the current decentralized channels are too expensive or slow. This also has the added benefit of making the app completely free to use. [what’s changed] Since our last post, we improved the UI/UX, made transactions more understandable, made the app compatible with all viewports, and now don’t require you to create an account to get a feel for the app. [ask] We’d love any feedback you all have! My e-mail is kamil@fwd.exchange if you want to contact us about anything related to the project :) P.S. here's a very old demo of a prototype from a while back [2] [1] https://ift.tt/jItPmw3 [2] https://youtu.be/xhajqKq4G9Y

Show HN: Reflame – Deploy your React web apps in milliseconds
4 by lewisl9029 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I've been working on Reflame since I quit my job at Brex last year, excited to finally open it up for everybody to try out! Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ4KyfGbUFA Reflame deploys client-rendered React web apps instantly, to previews and to production. In concrete wall-clock terms, deploys generally take: - ~50-500ms from our VSCode extension - ~500-3000ms from our GitHub app (Jump to this comment ( https://ift.tt/cLS6PpC ) for what makes Reflame so fast) The Reflame GitHub App automatically deploys default branches to production, and other branches to previews. If you've used Netlify/Vercel's GitHub apps, you should feel right at home. The difference is it’s multiple orders of magnitudes faster. Fast enough that you'll probably never see an in-progress deploy on GitHub ever again , only ready-to-go preview/production links. No more having to babysit builds or having to context switch to and from other tasks before being able to see our changes deployed in previews or production. Previewing, sharing, and even shipping, can now become part of the so-called inner loop, giving us the superpower to stay in flow state for much longer. The Reflame VSCode extension is yet another order of magnitude faster than even the GitHub App. It was designed to offer an experience that can rival local development workflows in both speed and ergonomics, while addressing many of local dev's limitations around collaboration and production-parity. Every time we make a change (e.g. by saving a file), the extension will deploy that change (in ~50-500ms) to a "Live Preview", and will immediately update the app in our browsers to reflect that change. Live Previews can operate in one of two modes: - Development mode delivers updates through React Fast Refresh, offering the familiar state-preserving instant feedback loop we know and love from local development workflows. - Production mode delivers updates by triggering a full browser reload on every change, and in exchange for this extra bit of friction, we get to develop against a byte-identical version of the fully optimized production deployment that customers will see once we ship, with a tighter feedback loop than was ever possible before. Live Previews deliver updates over the internet, meaning we can effortlessly test out our changes on multiple devices simultaneously, and show our changes to anyone in the world, just by sharing a Live Preview link, all while having our updates reflected automatically across all connected devices in real-time (with live reload or React Fast Refresh over the internet ). Being able to ship quickly is valuable on its own, but Reflame's true north star has always been to enable customers to ship quickly with confidence . One way Reflame helps customers ship with more confidence today is by making previews with full production-parity available at every step of the development process. Previews in Reflame are accessible at the exact same URL customers will use to access the production deployment, instead of at a different subdomain for each preview (i.e. every preview is accessed through https://reflame.app instead of at https://ift.tt/im2fykW ). Behind the scenes, this is implemented using session cookies that our CDN will check to determine which version of the app to serve. This is only the tip of the iceberg. We have some really exciting prototypes around testing and typechecking that we've been exploring that could allow us to ship with even more confidence without ever slowing us down . If any of this sounds interesting for the apps you're building or planning to build (taking into account this comment ( https://ift.tt/Q84POaF ) below describing what Reflame is not well suited for), please sign up and give it a try! I can't wait to see what you’ll build with it! :)

Show HN: Coherence, the developer platform to end yak-shaving
35 by zoomzoom | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! I’m Zach, from Coherence (https://ift.tt/clTI8Zn). We’re building software that provides an integrated way to write, preview, and deploy code from one simple configuration. Check out our explainer video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2YHVx8QsLg and a high level demo here: https://ift.tt/8RT0Ef9 We started Coherence because we found technology teams spent 30-40% of their time yak shaving and writing glue code, instead of building products our customers love. We don’t think every team should have to build their own internal development platform, so we’re building the software we’d want to buy. Following the example of other great products like Replit, our toolkit is based on integration across the stages of an app’s lifecycle - from dev to production. Coherence provides one integrated dashboard with cloud development environments, automatic CI/CD, and full-stack environments for each branch (as well as production), all with one simple configuration. A developer can write, test, review, and deploy code from one interface with best practices built in. Devs are intuitively navigated to their own cloud resources when needed, eliminating time spent searching consoles for every log, metric, or configuration setting you might need. We currently support containerized full-stack web apps on AWS and Google Cloud. Unlike the PaaS category defined by Heroku, our goal is to help teams leverage the platforms provided by the best cloud providers, keeping the benefits of running in your own cloud account: unlimited extensibility, cost savings, compliance with audit requirements, and freedom to easily exit our platform without an impact to your systems. You can play around with a Coherence sandbox and get a taste of the developer experience at app.withcoherence.com/sandbox. If you like what you can see, you can also deploy an app into your AWS or GCP with one of our starter templates for a new project: app.withcoherence.com. We’re happy to support onboarding on a call or via Slack and we’d love to discuss what it would look like to migrate one of your existing apps to Coherence. We’re excited to get your feedback, so please feel free to drop us a note at hn@withcoherence.com

Hey HN! I’m Zach, from Coherence (https://ift.tt/clTI8Zn). We’re building software that provides an integrated way to write, preview, and deploy code from one simple configuration. Check out our explainer video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2YHVx8QsLg and a high level demo here: https://ift.tt/8RT0Ef9 We started Coherence because we found technology teams spent 30-40% of their time yak shaving and writing glue code, instead of building products our customers love. We don’t think every team should have to build their own internal development platform, so we’re building the software we’d want to buy. Following the example of other great products like Replit, our toolkit is based on integration across the stages of an app’s lifecycle - from dev to production. Coherence provides one integrated dashboard with cloud development environments, automatic CI/CD, and full-stack environments for each branch (as well as production), all with one simple configuration. A developer can write, test, review, and deploy code from one interface with best practices built in.

Show HN: I created a simple and fast Broken Link Checker for WordPress
2 by isuleman | 0 comments on Hacker News.
There aren't any reliable free broken link checkers out there, so I decided to create one. Right now, it is a Python script that can be run on any platform. It is multi-threaded and has a lot of room for improvement. Feel free to check out the code and point out the mistakes or leave suggestions. I am newbie programmer :)

Show HN: I unlocked reaching 10.000 real potential customers as low cost as $50
5 by denizcansanlav | 2 comments on Hacker News.
As a founder without an audience, building great products is no longer enough. It is difficult to find first paying users, grow, and discover where and how to reach them. You have to find the right people through the noise. As a founder who likes to break the rules, I discovered a method. I unlocked reaching 10.000+ real potential customers as low cost as $50 with 90% successful targeting. Solution: Twitter custom audience lists. This is the Holy Grail. you can turn it into a lead generating machine by using custom audience list. Twitter lets you use lists to target. But there is more important. For this, it does not ask for private information such as e-mail. Only twitter handles (i.e. usernames) You just need to have a list where you have Twitter handles. If you are willing to take some time, collect the handles (usernames) of your potential customers. Or use our createtargetaudience.com tool, which searches and lists according to job title or interest written in the profile bio. E.g; If you have a product for developers, list the people who write developer, software in their profile. If you have a web3 or NFT community, people who write web3, NFT on their profile. or marketers, designers, founders, no-coders, investors, SaaS, etc. You can get your list in CSV format. By uploading your list to Twitter ads, you target only the people you want. So no wasted. And you know who you're showing the ad to. %90 successful targeting. You will be surprised at the engagement and conversion rate with very low costs. (over 30% for me) Cost = €5 / $6.5 per 1000 impressions. You can know how much you will spend based on the size of your list. If your target audience includes a job title or interest, it's worth a try.
