Show HN: Flurri – Build meaningful connections with your co-workers https://bit.ly/3M8I56n

Show HN: Flurri – Build meaningful connections with your co-workers Hi HN, we're Nikhil and Dhurv, founders of Flurri ( https://bit.ly/35zA3mz ). We’re very excited to launch Flurri (https://bit.ly/3sqLJ3M), a platform to help teams build meaningful connections and create an inclusive, engaging culture. From our own experiences and countless others, we know that starting in a new team can be isolating and remote work is lonely. However, the workplace is a great place to make new connections and build bonds, especially as other community institutions (sports clubs, volunteering, etc.) have declined in prominence. We wanted to make it easier and more comfortable to get to know your colleagues, focusing on what makes us all human! We capture a bit about your hobbies and interests, and provide a way for you to search against it, learning more about your co-workers in the process. Communities create profiles built on hobbies, interests, and short ice breakers and we create a searchable internal database of employees based on hobbies, interests, etc. Additionally, users can set up Icycle, our product to match co-workers based on mutual interests on a regular cadence, with meeting invites sent directly. We are completely free to use, so feel free to jump in - creating a profile takes 5 min! We believe work is a great place to find your community, and we want to make it simple, easy, and fun to do that. We appreciate your support and feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts as we continue to build! https://bit.ly/35zA3mz February 28, 2022 at 10:41AM

Show HN: Esolang Park, a visual debugger for esolangs https://bit.ly/3smITNo

Show HN: Esolang Park, a visual debugger for esolangs Hey HN! Esolang Park is an online visual debugger interface for esoteric programming languages, that I've been working on for the past few months. For every supported language, Esolang Park provides the powerful Monaco code editor, syntax checking, debugging functionality and a visualisation of the runtime state. The core is language-agnostic - a "language provider" only needs to implement the esolang's parser, interpreter and visualisation UI (and some other little stuff). Apart from trying to boost DX for esolangs, the idea is for this to grow into a platform where people can discover and play around with a variety of esolangs without leaving the browser. That's quite far away though - the project is quite early in development and currently only has 5 languages (Befunge-93, Brainf*ck, Chef, Deadfish and Shakespeare). Some features like non-debugging execution mode (0ms interval) are missing too. Currently the entire source code[0] (core + language providers) is written in TypeScript and React. Esolang code execution happens in a web worker. I'm planning to add support for WASM-based language providers for better performance, particularly for non-debugging execution. There's also a wiki[1] containing a description of the core design and a guide for implementing and contributing new language providers. Looking to hear some feedback on the idea and current implementation - bug reports are welcome too!

Show HN: Open-Source Unbound DNS Resolver Docker Image https://bit.ly/3hi8FvS

Show HN: Open-Source Unbound DNS Resolver Docker Image Hey Hacker News! I am madnuttah, I am a Windows/Linux Sysadmin and some folks may remember this username for "niche" mods I've made for Fallout and Skyrim and some C# UWP Windows Store Apps which I've retired because of Microsoft's unclear strategy abandoning things from one day to another. Why am I writing this? I wanted to be independent from the DNS servers of my provider, because they have often shined brightly with problems in the past instead of functioning properly, wanted to have a little bit more privacy and freedom back by fighting censorship via DNS, so I built my own Unbound Docker image with a lot of effort and conscientiousness. Because I think it's worth it, I'd like to share my efforts with you. My life taught me that trust must be earned, you never know what was fiddled into and what was tampered with. This image is therefore entirely built online using workflows in a GitHub action, uses the very lean Alpine Linux with all its security features and Unbound directly queries a local copy of the root zone, which is kept up-to-date using DNS zone transfers (XFR). Instead of occupying a few hundred megabytes on your harddisk, my image is only about 30 megabytes uncompressed in size. The separate components Libevent and OpenSSL3 are compiled in the build process in their separate workflows and all the downloads, even the Internic files (root.hints and root.zone) are checked using their PGP keys and signature files if available, following my zero-trust policy. Unbound is compiled with hardening security features that most images do not include, such as PIE (Position Independent Executables), which randomizes the application's position in memory which makes attacks more difficult and RELRO (Relocation Read-Only) which also can mitigate exploitations. The image was actually designed as an DNSSEC validating upstream DNS resolver with Pi-hole for adblocking and tracking prevention in mind but it also works perfectly as a standalone server. All Linux architectures are supported, which are currently used by Pi-hole: 386, armv6, armv7, arm64 and amd64. So it also able to run on older Raspberries under Docker. I maintain the image regularly and as soon as included components are updated, security vulnerabilities become known or an update of Unbound is released, the image will be available for you on the Docker registry in a few hours. If anyone would like to contribute to the development, I'm happy to receive a pull request of yours. For any suggestions, questions, comments or even criticism you are very welcome to contact me here on HN or on Mastodon (https://bit.ly/3Hmy2qV). Here is the link to my GitHub repo https://bit.ly/3HkaFye. You may find the following links useful for testing the security of your DNS or even in case you want to do a before and after comparison if you want to give the image a try: DNS Leak Test: https://bit.ly/3t5G56p DNSSEC-Test from the University of Duisburg-Essen: https://bit.ly/3siovNc GRC's DNS Nameserver Spoofability Test: https://bit.ly/35r90d5 Cheers, madnuttah February 25, 2022 at 11:50AM

Show HN: Simula One – Portable Linux VR Computer https://bit.ly/3h8dqb4

Show HN: Simula One – Portable Linux VR Computer Hi HN, My name is George, and I am helping build an office focused VR headset called the “Simula One”. It was discussed recently here: https://bit.ly/3vrpZHd . We have just opened our store for preorders ( https://bit.ly/36trtWJ ), so that we and our backers can help people replace their old PCs/laptops with more capable VR headsets. We call our headset a “VR Computer” (or a “VRC”) to distinguish it from gaming headsets. When Simula was founded, most people thought the future of VR was in games & entertainment. The truth is that VR offers a superior way for performing knowledge work, but until now there haven’t been dedicated VR computing devices available on the market. While existing headsets are optimized for gaming, ours is optimized for productivity: it features bleeding edge high-resolution displays, has a detachable compute pack with specs comparable to a premium office laptop (x86 architecture), and runs a VR specialized Linux distro optimized for clear text. VRCs offer several advantages over Laptops & PCs: they provide unlimited screens of any size, improve work focus & immersion, are usable outdoors (no laptop glare), improve privacy (no one around you can snoop your screen), and their compact design frees up desk space. They also promote better posture and freedom of movement: with a VR computer you can change positions, sit up, lean back, stand, lie down, or even walk while you compute. Our project started out as an open-source VR window manager ( https://bit.ly/3Hr3vIJ ), which you can try out today on the Valve Index or HTC Vive. It's built over Drew Devault's wlroots and the Godot game engine. Once our compositor became relatively stable, we ran into the issue of “no other manufacturer wanted to offer us Linux support” (thinking there was no market for something so niche, I imagine?). So we decided to build our own =] We are happy to answer any question (technical or otherwise) about our project. https://bit.ly/36trtWJ February 23, 2022 at 02:42PM

Show HN: Elestio – Managed platform for over 150 open-source software stacks https://bit.ly/35nmaaY

Show HN: Elestio – Managed platform for over 150 open-source software stacks Hello Hacker News! We're Joseph, Kieran and David from elestio ( https://bit.ly/3s9pcse ). We've built a platform that offers open-source software as a managed service - we take care of the OS and app updates, security, SSL, networking, backups, the whole deal. In 2009, we started deploying open-source software for websites and web apps we built, many for SMB and enterprise customers. Our process was basically: spin up VM's from a hosting provider, install the software we needed, then update it manually / when it was needed / critical, etc. Once we hit > 100 servers/services needing updates, backups, capacity monitoring and alerting, etc. we saw that it was getting totally unmanageable… so we built what would eventually become elestio. We've put a lot, a lot, a lot of work into building something that allows us (and now you) to deploy a new service in just a few minutes, with zero ongoing maintenance / devops overhead. We basically turned open-source software into a SaaS experience. We update all the apps, respecting SemVer on the branch you select, issue and renew SSL certs automatically (even for your own domains, for free), automatically implement a 3-2-1 backup strategy, caching is handled and we put your service behind a configurable firewall and rate limiter with sane defaults. We have implemented Nebula to connect your services hosted in different datacenters across regions and providers as if they were on the same network and Borg backups to do deduplicated incremental backups in a remote datacenter. There were many challenges in building it… VM providers don't have homogenous or feature-complete APIs for provisioning servers, we tested 6 different mesh networking/VPN solutions to enable services running in different datacenters, regions, or providers to connect to each other securely, and we did a lot of work to create a sane templating system that covers setup, security, backups, upgrade, migrations and monitoring, lots of work to test the safest ways to update OS and apps without breaking things… but we got there and it works really well (we think)! Deployments are based on Docker, which helped a lot to standardize everything. We've been using it to deploy and maintain over 12,000 services for our own enterprise clients and we've spent the last year making it user-friendly (and even more bulletproof for end-user configs). Elestio can currently deploy any one of over 150 open-source software stacks like Postgres, MySQL, OpenSearch, Redis, Wordpress, NodeBB, Jitsi, Uptime-kuma, Plausible, GitLab,, Strapi, Ghost, or even PowerDns, Grafana, ClickHouse, etc. in about 3 minutes, flat. We currently support AWS Lightsail, Linode, Hetzner, Vultr and Digital Ocean, and BringYourOwnVM, if you want to run on your own provider account or even on-premise but have all the features of managed services. We are offering 1 BYOVM service per customer for free forever. Something we really wanted to do was make sure we were part of a healthy open-source ecosystem. To that end, elestio will donate part of all revenue to the open-source projects our customers are using. We will review this annually and if it's possible to increase it, we will. This is a win-win-win to us. Open-source developers and communities get more resources to improve their software while our customers, our staff and other stakeholders know that they are helping to support the open-source community. For this launch we made a partnership with DigitalOcean, they are offering $250 of free credits on Elestio if you go through this link: https://do.co/3sfx9w9 Alternatively you can also register here and get $20 of free credits but not limited to DO infrastructure: https://bit.ly/3JN26NZ All your questions and comments are welcome and if you want to share any devops horror stories, please do! We're giving out free credits for the best ones!! Joseph, Kieran and David February 23, 2022 at 02:00PM

Show HN: Wachy – A UI for eBPF-based performance debugging eBPF is an amazing technology that allows safely running user-supplied functions at pretty much arbitrary probe points in a kernel/user space context. Much has been written about how amazing this feature is for kernel observability. But as someone who writes user space code, what I find even more amazing is the support for tracing arbitrary user space programs, with no code changes and low overhead. However, doing in-depth analysis can get complicated and time-consuming. My goal with wachy was to make this debugging significantly easier/faster to use, by displaying traces in a TUI next to the source code and allowing for interactive drilldown analysis. If you get a chance, check out the start of the demo video since (AFAIK) it's quite unique and gives a much clearer idea than I can provide with just text. https://bit.ly/33DByiM February 22, 2022 at 01:13AM

Show HN: Apptrail – SaaS audit trails as a Service https://bit.ly/3sUdII7

Show HN: Apptrail – SaaS audit trails as a Service Hi Hacker News! We're Samrose and Shaeq from Apptrail ( https://bit.ly/3s5vOb1 ). We let B2B SaaS companies easily add customer-facing audit trails to their products. It's currently too hard to build and consume SaaS audit logs. Organizations use audit logs to access and monitor the activity coming from their SaaS tools for security and compliance reasons. For example, a security admin at an enterprise company would use Slack audit logs to see messages sent and what devices and IP addresses they were sent from. Many SaaS companies don’t offer audit trails to their customers, which results in a lack of insight for the SaaS user (for example, they have to make a support ticket every time they need information). For SaaS companies, adding audit logs to their products is a daunting task that often gets delayed because audit logs are full of hidden complexity. Designing a multi-tenant audit trail solution involves careful consideration around scalability, availability, durability, verifiable immutability, configurable data retention, and guaranteed delivery, to name a few requirements. The audit logs need to be viewable through a UI, searchable & filterable, accessible programmatically via a REST API, and ideally support streaming delivery to consumers. SaaS companies are overwhelmed by the complexity, and often implement subpar solutions, which results in more work for their customers to actually consume the audit logs. As an example, SaaS companies are often unable to support extended data retention times (7-10 years is common for larger customers) because their systems aren’t designed for long-term storage. At AWS, we worked on the infrastructure that allows Amazon to easily bake audit logs into their services. Whether it’s S3 or Sagemaker, every AWS service needs to offer audit logs to all customers for it to launch. We realized that enterprise & security-conscious customers have the same needs when using SaaS tools, but SaaS companies are left entirely to figure out building customer-facing audit logs themselves. Apptrail is a fully managed service that enables any B2B SaaS company to easily add full-featured audit trails to their product and deliver audit logs to their end customers' destinations (data lakes, SIEM, etc.) in near real time. Check out a short demo here: https://bit.ly/3p3qWkC . The way it works is SaaS companies record user and API activity using our language native SDKs, and Apptrail takes care of everything else. Apptrail automatically aggregates and indexes audit data in the cloud and surfaces it to SaaS customers through a self-service portal UI and REST API that we host on your behalf. There's full support for analytical queries and fast data retrieval while keeping audit logs in S3 for durability and optimal scaling. Apptrail offers audit log delivery as a first-class feature using "trails", which allows audit log consumers to add rules to filter audit logs based on their content and configure streaming delivery to destinations like S3 or Splunk. We’re built entirely on AWS, using services like S3, SQS, Kinesis, and ECS on EC2 extensively, with good ol’ JVM powering the application logic. We’ve built Apptrail to scale horizontally, so it can ingest an unlimited number of audit logs. Apptrail is also completely replicated in independent cloud regions, so you can use our regional endpoints to keep audit log data in a specified region (currently we’re launching with US West - Oregon as our first region). We have a usage-based pricing model and charge for each audit log sent and delivered. Our extensive always free tier allows 100k events to be sent for free every month forever. You can sign up for and try Apptrail today. We offer a no credit card required free trial. We would love to hear your thoughts about what we’re building or your experiences with SaaS audit logs in general.

Show HN: Rebluff Poker, no limit hold'em for loose aggressive players https://bit.ly/3Bz9MR0

Show HN: Rebluff Poker, no limit hold'em for loose aggressive players Hello, I'm uberf1sh, software engineer (I've previously worked for Amazon and Fortnite, though obviously none of the following as to do with my previous employers). My cousin introduced me to online poker in 2008 and I loved it instantly, playing $2 games for fun and glory (the same day my aunt also proceeded to warn me that "it all starts like that", oh boy if you knew Tata). I was initially pretty bad but I had fun. Indeed, in 2008 the game was really amazing because it was so chaotic and full of crazy plays, your blood was pumping before even sitting at the table. Fast forward I was able to make $1000 a day in vegas, spending everything on sneakers, restaurants and other unspeakable stuff (you know the drill, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas). 5-8 years ago, things started to take a bad turn. The game slowly but surely became incredibly boring. Most regular players started to all adopt a strategy called tight passive . Tight means you play only the best starting hands and passive means you don't bet or raise much, you let your opponent dictate the action (i.e. you let them bet and raise on your behalf). The tight part isn't much of an issue because there is counter strategies that works well (e.g. setting mines). However the passive component is absolutely dreadful. Passive poker is an anti-game strategy. When it comes to games and sports in general, an anti-game strategy works as follows: you are not reaching for a win, but instead, you make the game so boring and frustrating, your opponents become crazy. Passive poker is beatable, but while a passive player don't win much, he doesn't loose much as well. The player keeps its score close to zero and wait patiently that his opponents get crazy enough to make a mistake (while looting beginners). In short, it kills the game entirely. Nowdays, online cash games (especially at lower stakes) are ridiculously passive. The biggest bluff you can expect to see on some tables will be for 3BB (big blinds) max if you're lucky. You will never ever see a 3-barrel bluff with air anymore. You can't set mines either because they wont bet big enough to make it worth it and they will stop betting mostly after the flop. You can often see players literally not betting a dime on the flop, turn and river, even with monster hands. It hurts to see a player check on the river when he speaks last, only to discover they have the nuts - he wants to hurt you that's the point. It's time for passive poker to go. It's time for a change of rules. So I've built Rebluff Poker. Rebluff Poker is the first gaming platform dedicated to loose-aggressive no limit hold'em. The game is in every bit the same, except, each and every player has to bet or raise to some extent on average, or gets to pay a significant penalty in the form of antes (up to 5BB per hand for a multi passive recidivist). For a decently aggressive player, it makes no difference. At the moment, the threshold is close to 2.5BB per hand on average. The game is also much more fun for beginners. Playing LAG against beginners lead to a higher variance which means the beginner still wins occasionally. The plan is to raise money (so far I'd say the reception has been incredible) to get a proper gaming license and legal framework (some licenses are dirt cheap nowdays). So I distribute gift cards to players so we can play, but , I have deactivated stablecoin deposits and withdrawals. Once you've lost your gift card chips, there is no automatic way of getting more so still take care of them if you decide to play. Once we get a gaming license, you will be able to withdraw your balance. In the case where we don't get a gaming license, your balance is worth nothing, it's play money . It's then 100% legal to play today (as a bonus the server is out of reach of a DMCA). Dealers, let's shuffle and deal. https://bit.ly/3v8bXd9 https://bit.ly/3oYd3Es uberf1sh)at(rebluff.poker https://bit.ly/3v8bXd9 February 20, 2022 at 09:44PM

Show HN: Newser, utility written in go to generate a pdf with news content https://bit.ly/3JF7l2b

Show HN: Newser, utility written in go to generate a pdf with news content I've gotten myself a Supernote A5X (awesome device btw) and since it doesn't have a web browser or anything I've wanted to have a way to read news on it. I've hacked together this utility in a couple of days and it works wonders for me personally so I thought it might be interesting to others. It can also be used as a noise free newspaper generator as it removes images/ads/links and other noisy stuff. https://bit.ly/3s23Soj (there is a screenshot of the first page of the generated pdf) It scrapes (news) websites for content and puts it into a pdf. For me the pdf location is my dropbox supernote directory so my setup is to run this thing daily and have a fresh pdf with news whenever I want it. It's rough around the edges probably (currently added crawl support for verge, ars, engadget) but I think it's a good base so if anyone wants to contribute feel free. Some of the stuff I want to add is pictures (maybe), maybe parse the text html to include font styling and other stuff. I've tried to generalize it as much as possible so the crawling is pretty much automatic and is controlled by a config file where you define "rules" on how to parse the website.

Show HN: ICON-3D Avatar Creator from 2D Pixels Realistic virtual humans will play a central role in mixed and augmented reality, forming a critical foundation for the Metaverse and supporting remote presence, collaboration, education, and entertainment. To enable this, new tools are needed to easily create large-scale 3D virtual humans that can be readily animated. However, current methods need either posed 3D scans captured by expensive scanning equipment or 2D images with carefully controlled user poses. Both of them can't scale up easily. ICON ("Implicit Clothed humans Obtained from Normals") takes a step towards robust 3D clothed human reconstruction from in-the-wild images. This also enables creating animatable avatars directly from video with personalized and natural pose-dependent cloth deformation.

Show HN: A Theory of Anxiety Conditions https://bit.ly/3gYIoCw

Show HN: A Theory of Anxiety Conditions Hi HN, I ve been in this community for a while now and have a huge amount of respect for the people and the forum so I wanted to post this here. This is a pretty random one and I wish to emphasise from the very beginning this is not medical advice and is only based on what I saw in myself. It is therefore entirely up to anyone kind enough to have a read to decide whether they think what I describe makes any sense for them. If people have comments or thoughts I think it would be quite cool to use the GitHub issues as a forum for discussion and collecting peoples’ feedback. TLDR When I was diagnosed with an anxiety condition I thought about the specifics of what was going on in my mind probably an unhealthy amount. I wrote it down, then rewrote it many many times and it then sat in my draw for a few years, and I ve finally decided I should put it online just in case it helps someone else. I believe we have largely overlooked the possibility of using introspection of one’s own consciousness to gain scientific understanding and theories of the casual mechanism involved in anxiety conditions. I propose that when I study my own consciousness there appear to be useful abstractions (many of which we already allude to in common language) and that formalising the system described by these abstractions appears to be useful for understanding the casual mechanism underlying the anxiety conditions I experienced. At it’s most basic the casual mechanism I propose relates to the existence (under certain conditions / beliefs) of a feedback loop between those feelings that are partially endogenous and our thoughts (under the definitions of these terms laid out in the essay). Whilst I can only analyse myself, this casual mechanism also appears to be consistent with and explain many of the clinical characteristics of the anxiety conditions described in the DSM. I believe it also sheds light on the current successful therapeutic approaches as well as their failings. However, as emphasised throughout, this is, and can only ever be a theory about me, and can only ever be falsified on an individual basis. Therefore, I would love to hear other peoples’ opinions on whether this description of my conscious experience and the theory I propose is also true for them.

Show HN: Tools and code to make MicroPython development faster and more fun https://bit.ly/3uQMmFm

Show HN: Tools and code to make MicroPython development faster and more fun Because I love bringing small devices to life and I also love Python I was very excited when MicroPython started to be conveniently available for platforms like the ESP32. But it's still quite cumbersome and error prone to get your code on a device and make it run. And then you have to worry about wearing out the flash memory by continuously copying over new versions of your code. This is why I came up with "esp32_mpy_robooter" which I now use among a couple of private projects, e.g. for the Watchy ([1]) and the M5StickC ([2]). Rather than copying over modified Python files to the device over and over again it (the toolset) creates a RAM disk on the device and _fetches_ the source files via WiFi, which means you don't have to reboot the device and you can even stay in the REPL! Non-modified files are taken care of using file checksums and the server on your development machine (providing the actual source files) even pre-compiles them to byte code which makes them smaller and load faster. The project is far from ready and still needs a developer heart to like it but since I currently use it for me alone it can only grow to a lovable gem by making me feel someone else is valuing the effort - this is why I'm here :) [1]: https://bit.ly/3HQrxOj [2]: https://bit.ly/3JnJgN6 [3]: https://bit.ly/34ZZH3e [4]: https://bit.ly/3rRlyTS [5]: https://bit.ly/3JuMChq [6]: https://bit.ly/3rNdH9M https://bit.ly/34YgXWB February 15, 2022 at 07:08AM

Show HN: No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc. Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to build the very tools they use. And with HN being mostly the coder community, it’d be particularly interesting to hear your feedback/thoughts! https://bit.ly/34WzrXx February 14, 2022 at 07:20AM

Show HN: GuideLab – in-app user guides for their entire journey https://bit.ly/3GHWNxt

Show HN: GuideLab – in-app user guides for their entire journey Hi HN, I’m James and I’m excited to share GuideLab, on-demand in-app guides to reduce support load and make your users happier. After a decade of working on products with small (20k) and large (millions) user bases, one thing remained clear - level 1 support takes up a lot of time. From universal usability (’how do I reset my password?’, ’how do I invite team members?’) to product specific problems, the answer is sometimes in a chat bot or knowledge base, but it’s cumbersome for the user and often gets lost in translation. Using GuideLab, you create in-app guides through a UI ("no code") which can then be shared with your users via a link special link over any platform: email, Zendesk, Intercom, in a KB, social media etc. As soon as a user clicks the link, they’re taken to your app and instantly see the guide. There’s also our search widget that you can embed directly in your web app. A 'Help Guides' tab appears for the user, where they can search and view any guide you've created. In that way GuideLab is fundamentally different to other guiding software like AppCues or userpilot. They focus on opting users into guides based on cohorts/attributes whereas GuideLab lets users view guides when they need them most. There’s a quick (<1m) video on the homepage ( https://guidelab.io ) walking you through how GuideLab works. If you have any other questions, or if there’s anything you’d love to see in this space, please share. https://guidelab.io February 10, 2022 at 10:40PM

Show HN: Makers.so – A Website Builder Inside Figma https://bit.ly/3JlJe8O

Show HN: Makers.so – A Website Builder Inside Figma Founder here. Makers.so is a Figma Plugin to build and publish sites without ever leaving Figma. Here’s a demo [0]. As a front-end developer I constantly go from Figma to code / site, but it’s tedious… I decided to automate the process with this plugin. It works great for simple projects like: - Landing Pages - Portfolio / Personal sites - Resume sites - Careers / Wiki sites So, not a Webflow / Framer competitor (yet). Webflow and Framer are amazing tools, but if you are in the Figma ecosystem, it's boring to duplicate your work on a different tool. I'm trying to make life easier for Figma users. If this seems interesting, you can install it here [1] and give it a try. — For a bit of context, I'm a solo-founder and I started Makers after sharing my idea on the Figma subreddit about how awesome it would be to have a button in Figma to publish my designs. A good amount of people seemed to agree, and that was enough to start working on it. This is turning out to be a super fun project, and I’ve been working full-time for the last two months.

Show HN: What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child? updatecli.io What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child? Well for me that could be Updatecli. Updatecli is a project that I started to help maintain the infrastructure of the Jenkins project. I needed something flexible enough to update YAML with whatever information needed. Because let’s say it, everybody loves YAML. YAML is everywhere. Run it from everywhere… Updatecli is a command-line tool written in Golang and available for Windows, Linux, MacOSx, amd64, arm64, thank you Goreleaser All of that to say that it runs from wherever CI or laptop we need. As of today, Updatecli opened over 3000 Pull requests on Github, and it evolved to update automatically Dockerfile, Markdown, Helm Chart, and of course a lot of YAML for tools like Puppet, Kubernetes, or Jenkins. How does it work? Updatecli loads pipeline configurations from YAML(s) or Golang templates then enforce the state defined by the pipeline configuration. A pipeline run as followed: 1. Clone in a temporary location any git repositories used by the pipeline. 2. Fetch information for every *source* defined, and then inject them as entry parameters into condition(s) and target(s). 3. Test that all *conditions* defined succeed otherwise abort the pipeline. 4. Enforce the state for every *target* defined. A state means different things depending on the resource type, more on this later. 5. Commit and open pull requests when needed. 6. Apply next pipeline A Updatecli pipeline relies on resources aka “extension” aka “plugins” to adapt pipeline behavior. By combining them, we can easily automate scenarios for release workflow, GitOps, dependency management, documentation update, etc. A simple scenario could be: * Retrieve the latest Golang version * Test that a docker image with the latest Golang version exist on Dockerhub * If it exists, then bump the version in a YAML file and open a pull request on GitHub with the change As of today, there are 9 extensions for "sources", 8 for "conditions", 6 for "targets", 2 for git repositories, and 1 for pull requests. A very simple pipeline is available on -> https://bit.ly/3HJmCP4 For more complex pipelines, you can look for directories named “updatecli/updatecli.d” at the root of repositories on https://bit.ly/3JzmeTV or the Jenkins infrastructure repository such as https://bit.ly/34vaTVS I maintain a documentation website to document the different configuration. It’s not perfect but it’s available on https://bit.ly/3BacOeg What’s next? Well, it depends on many things. Updatecli is since the beginning, a fun side project, I wanted to practice Golang programming while automating tedious recurring tasks. I built it in a way that I could reuse it across the different projects which I maintain. It’s rather simple to add new resources so I’ll keep adding them based on my needs, I welcome any contributions that would benefit the community.

So I made `marketing-redirect`, a quick bit of HTML to put on a marketing page that lets customers get automatically redirected to the application they're already paying for: https://bit.ly/3sBtFTI You can see an example of it in action here: https://bit.ly/3GEa7mC Aside from just making the tools I use better, I'm brainstorming ways to monetize this. My best idea is to create a cloud service the help marketing teams remove or tag the page views from paying customers who visit their marketing page so their analytics software can exclude them as possible leads. I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks, Elliot February 10, 2022 at 02:54AM

Show HN: Raize – No-Added-Sugar, Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Bakery https://bit.ly/3rz2rxz

Show HN: Raize – No-Added-Sugar, Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Bakery Hey HN, I just launched a specialty online bakery creating no-sugar-added, low-carb, gluten-free cookies and cookie sandwiches called RAIZE (eatraize.com). Instead of sugar, we use a blend of natural sweeteners including stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. Instead of grains, we use almond, hazelnut, and coconut flours. Why? The key to long-term metabolic health (including fat loss, reducing energy spikes/crashes, lowering inflammation, and more) is to avoid blood sugar spikes (see the company Levels Health for more info on this). This means eating less sugar and fewer refined, high glycemic carbohydrates like traditional flour. Prior to RAIZE, the "better-for-you" dessert alternatives consistently left me dissatisfied, and there was no good fresh bakery option. So, I partnered with a classically-trained pastry chef who formerly led the baking program at one of the top culinary schools to develop our recipes and launch RAIZE. If you're looking to still enjoy dessert while eating less sugar and fewer refined carbs, check us out at eatraize.com. We deliver nationwide. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

Show HN: Squareword - a Wordle-like game with an added dimension Last weekend, when I was playing Wordle I was inspired to think of ways to expand the concept and fuel my daily word game addiction. So I built squareword, where you use word guesses to uncover a square of letters consisting of five words down and five across. There is a new challenge every day, I thought you guys might enjoy it. My score for today was ten guesses. I built it in Vue.js and the Quasar framework and host it on Cloudflare pages. Just like Wordle, it runs purely on the client side. Over the past week, I’ve been adding features such as user stats and the ability to share your results. It has been really fun to see friends and family start playing the game, even when they beat my own score… Any feedback is appreciated! https://bit.ly/3HvQyhf February 6, 2022 at 02:12PM

Show HN: I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy! https://bit.ly/3LawSSk February 3, 2022 at 04:55PM

Show HN: Find alternatives to almost any popular GitHub repo https://bit.ly/3IYwZ1D

Show HN: Find alternatives to almost any popular GitHub repo Several months ago, I built a "stealth" feature that I could use. It hasn't been advertised, and I've been the only user. As I find it useful for myself, I believe others (software developers) may like it too. So, this is the first public post about it, and if it gets any positive feedback, I may put some time into promoting it more. In essence, given that you've opened a GitHub repo (there are ~225k of the more popular ones indexed as of now), you can replace "github" with "libhunt" within the URL, and you will find the top alternatives and related projects. For example, here are three popular repos: - https://bit.ly/32SfpwO - https://bit.ly/3ohcMMn - https://bit.ly/34ul50i To test it out, open any of the examples above and replace "github" with "libhunt" within the browser URL. You can also try with any other repository as long as it's a bit popular. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions and receive some feedback. Thanks! February 3, 2022 at 12:15AM

Show HN: What do you think of my new social app? https://bit.ly/34ycGJC

Show HN: What do you think of my new social app? Hey there, First time posting on Hacker News in about 2 years! The reason I’m posting is that I thought I’d write about the product I’ve been building, in hopes it resonates with people. Why build yet another social app? Because I deleted almost all social media around 3/4 years ago as it was just net negative on my life. There was very little that was truly interesting, I didn’t care about looking good to other people and because of the ‘media’ and ads, the apps were all designed to make me spend too much time for what I was getting. I hated it and what it meant for people’s behaviour, including mine and my friends. I also noticed that the vast majority of my friends were pretty much passive on the services, even if they had an account. Turns out that most people felt uncomfortable sharing to people they didn’t know too well, which inevitably happens as you meet new people, add them, and often don’t develop the relationship much further. I had a sense that there could be a better way. In that, I remembered the days of Path and Google+ which had the model of focusing on particular people in your network, both through the feed and in how you shared. Path in particular was a ‘real life’ social network, something that despite being brought to market in 2010 or whatever, seemed to be more relevant today. So problem found, problem solved. I took the journey of learning how to code when COVID hit (I was working in Architecture and Design and was about to start my masters degree at Harvard GSD in Boston), then one thing led to another, my prototype garnered some investment interest, and Circles was born. The idea is very much like the name suggests, it’s about adding your contacts (synced through your phonebook) into Circles that define what the relationship is. This means that you only see things from people you have tagged (rather than everyone) and when you share, you choose exactly who it goes to (rather than all your friends or followers). It also takes cues from other privacy focused social products. Posts are encrypted, reactions and comments are only shown to people who are contacts with eachother, and user profiles only show that which has been explicitly shared to the user viewing the profile. As they were mentioned briefly before, it’s essentially a crossover between Path and Google+ with a wrap around layer of privacy, so the potential revenue has to eventually come through paid features rather than ads. We’re in the app store and google play store (yay, cross-platform JS frameworks), the invite code is ‘FULLCIRCLE’ and download links are below: Landing: [https://oncircles.com](https://oncircles.com) iOS: [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/circles-share-more-with-less/id1532621483](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/circles-share-more-with-less/id1532621483) Android: [https://bit.ly/35KIA6b I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on the idea. Hit or miss? PS: If you want to chat about the idea or are interested in working together I’d love to chat. Always interesting to meet people on HN and we have the funds, ideas and drive to continue making cool things that can solve big problems. Send me an email at james@oncircles.com Thanks!
