Show HN: XRss: An RSS Reader and web stack demo powered by Htmx
4 by infogulch | 0 comments on Hacker News.
XRss is a simple RSS reader web app built to showcase xtemplate, a new web development tool based on Go's html/template and Caddy server. The entire site UI for XRss comes from a single HTML template file . This index.html includes everything from SQL queries and route definitions and handlers to htmx state transition attributes and tailwindcss classes, and developing it requires zero build steps (amortized). Check out the source which manages to be at once banal and gnarly: https://ift.tt/BFgShc6... xtemplate preloads the whole template structure into memory and builds the router at startup, so responses to matching requests are rendered after a single lookup. Combined with direct queries to sqlite makes for a very snappy experience typically responding in less than 5ms. (Fingers crossed.) There are various places where XRss could be improved (PRs welcome!), but it already delivers on its purpose of demonstrating the plausibility of xtemplate. See the xtemplate readme for an overview of what you can do with it. I think of it as 'PHP but the syntax looks like Go templates'. https://ift.tt/i5vK8F3 Let me know what you think! Does remaking PHP from scratch out of Go templates make me a lunatic? (yes) Is it a good idea anyway? (yes) What kind of web application do you think would be a good fit for a platform like this?

Show HN: Catan: Starfarers for Two

I'm a big fan of all things Catan. Starfarers is my new favorite variant. The 3-player minimum made it so my wife and I couldn't play just-us. So, we wrote up some 2-player rules. TL;DR: 3rd player is an NPC

Show HN: DIY Disposable Email Service Using Cloudflare
4 by JesseTinell | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I recently discovered Cloudflare Email Routing. It's a super sweet feature within Cloudflare for creating disposable emails. Basically, if you have a domain connected to Cloudflare - you can create email addresses like "something@yourdomain.com" that can forward emails to your primary inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.). This is great since you'll never need to share your real email address when signing up for new online services again. It will help you keep your primary inbox free from spam and promotional junk! However, managing my disposable emails using Cloudflare's UI is not optimal. It's slow and bulky. So I built this minimalistic UI for managing disposable emails. This client-side app communicates directly with the Cloudflare API. Privacy is the #1 focus with this project. Feel free to contribute or let me know if you have ideas for improvement. Use the hosted app, x2.email (easy-to-remember domain!), or host it yourself wherever you like. Give the repo a star if you find it useful!

Show HN: Merge – Connect Google Wear OS to Apple iOS
5 by urip | 0 comments on Hacker News.
TLDR: Wear OS app for Samsung Galaxy Watches and Google Pixel Watches to connect them with iPhones, after Samsung and Google ditched iOS support back in 2021. Hi all! I recently switched to an iPhone and became frustrated when my Galaxy Watch was rendered useless, due to Google's and Samsung's decision to cut off iPhones from Wear OS back in 2021. I then started a project to create an alternative integration. I launched it 3 weeks ago as a Google Play app for Wear OS watches, most prominently for the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch. With this app, these watches can now connect to iPhones to control notifications and take phone calls. The response has been fantastic so far, with nearly 1k downloads and a steady growth rate. Should the demand continue to rise, I intend to expand the integration with additional features. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and answer any questions you might have. Thanks for your support! -- Merge is also on ProductHunt today: https://ift.tt/9XtDV7x...
