Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data https://bit.ly/3H6DmlA

Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data If we want better web3 experiences, developers need better tools. RPC nodes are really good at executing transactions, however they are notoriously cumbersome to set up, and reading large chunks of data is not very efficient: To show a list of transactions and receipts, nodes have to re-execute smart contract code on entire blocks. For every read call. Not great at scale. Which is why everyone is building ETLs to move data from the chain into their own database. This GraphQL API is our first step in allowing developers to spend more time on building product, rather than ETL infrastructure. https://bit.ly/3AWrPS4 November 30, 2022 at 11:55AM

With an already struggling E-commerce market, it's quite strange to see the lengths sellers are going to, to buy 5-star reviews from buyers.

Show HN: SinglePage – Quickly and anonymously publish a page to the web https://bit.ly/3FbiUim

Show HN: SinglePage – Quickly and anonymously publish a page to the web Creating a basic webpage has become way too complicated and expensive. Often there are those times when you just want to share your thoughts with the world but don't want the overhead and complexities that come with maintaining a website. Sometimes, you have an interesting thought piece, an education article, or just a quick and simple bio page that doesn't need the heavy hand of a WordPress blog or Medium post. That's where Single Page comes in. Publish a single page instantly to the web with no fuss. I was laid off three weeks ago from Twitter and I decided to work through a couple of my projects and this was one of them. I've tried blogs over the years, Medium didn't feel right but yet I wanted to quickly post pages online and couldn't find an easy way to do it. So I created it. Feedback appreciated! https://bit.ly/3FcgW0V November 29, 2022 at 09:14PM

Show HN: A userscript that adds archive URLs below the paywalled HN submissions https://bit.ly/3GXrvGD

Show HN: A userscript that adds archive URLs below the paywalled HN submissions This userscript adds archive URLs to the metadata section of HN submissions without breaking the immersion. Here are 2 screenshots: https://bit.ly/3idPhUm GreasyFork: https://bit.ly/3OPWEhi... Source code: https://bit.ly/3GWGrEV Now let me overexplain. -Why?- I never liked paywalled articles. I understand where they come from, but I don't like where we cross our paths. This is why I don't use major news aggregators anymore. Instead, I spend my "catching-up-with-the-world-time" on Hacker News. However, Hacker News (HN) also has its fair-share of paywalled articles. ( Around 11.6% according to my short-lived, half-assed attempt at measuring it. See my super old data https://bit.ly/3OMKANy I tell the story below.) -First try- Around a year ago, when I ran the above experiment, my goal wasn't to run that experiment. It was during my self-teaching & career-changing process, I decided to build a React HN clone. To make it stand-out from the bunch, I added a paywall feature. It would detect paywalled articles and would add an archive URL into the metadata. The issue with archiving is unless someone archived the link before on the {archiving-project} then the link is most likely not archived. So me sending people to those projects meant nothing. It kinda meant something for me from an ideological standpoint but I assume you are not me. This rubbed me the wrong way. I decided to build a backend (See https://bit.ly/3GXowOC ) that would scan the links and automatically to detect paywalls close to real-time and submit paywalled ones to archive.is for archival. I used Nodejs, Firebase, and React. I was -still am- really proud because I believed it was doing public good in terms of digital preservation. Only 1 person needed to run this script to benefit everyone. As an extra, I was curious on how many paywalled articles were being shared, by whom, at what time. So I also created some analytics functionality to gather the data. And later created a UI to present it. HN-Paywall-Archiver was great but I stopped running the backend at some point. Because at that point couldn't find a way to continuously run my backend code on some platform for cheap or didn't try hard enough. P.S. Recently I've been thinking of remaking this version with Cloudflare Workers. -Hacker News Paywall Archiver Userscript- After almost a year, I got into userscripts. Super great super awesome concept. People seem to hate javascript unless it is presented as a userscript. So I decided to get my hands dirty to create a simple solution that solves the paywall issue on HN without breaking any hearts. My solution is not perfect as it had to be simple. But here's the rundown. Pros: - Does not beg for attention. - Simple code, simple concept. - Unintentionally, indicates which submissions are paywalled without you interacting with anything. - Not-yet-archived archive links can make you feel like you are contributing to the society after you click on the "archive this URL" button on project page. - Uses HN html defaults, so I hope it plays well with the HN skins/plugins/userscripts you use. Cons: - It doesn't automatically archive the links. - It uses clone of a static list of paywalled websites sourced from a popular Chrome extension. ( https://bit.ly/3VATNLg... ) So changing the paywall list is slow and manual. - No guarantees of archived links actually having the archive readily available for reading. Though there are currently 3 projects added, so it should be enough for most links. So, there you go. I hope you enjoy it. It can break occasionally due to changes in news.ycombinator code, if you let me know on Twitter, I can fix it ASAP. Otherwise you have to wait until I notice that the script is broken, which can take quite a while as I browse HN on mobile. https://bit.ly/3GWGrEV November 30, 2022 at 12:08AM

Show HN: Jektex – Fast server side rendering of latex for Jekyll https://bit.ly/3XIitTK

Show HN: Jektex – Fast server side rendering of latex for Jekyll Hello! This is my first attempt of creating, publishing and maintaining my own package. I have a blog with something around 4000 latex expressions. Client side rendering using latex was super slow and some phones did not render it properly. I tried some KaTeX plugins for server side rendering but they were painfully slow (on my laptop it took more than 5 min to build). So I decided to learn some ruby and create latex rendering plugin by my self. So I created jektex. Jektex is a Jekyll plugin for fast server side cached LaTeX rendering, with support for macros and is very configurable. Now I can render y entire blog in 2 seconds on same laptop. I will be very happy for any feedback or advice. Have a nice day https://bit.ly/3GOY75n November 29, 2022 at 12:07AM

Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework https://bit.ly/3Va8mFR

Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework About a year ago, I stumbled upon a new Nodejs language called "Imba", I found this language to be interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential. Doing a bit of digging, I realized no one had created a framework for it, so what did a normal dev do? Well, a normal dev went ahead and created another Nodejs Framework, only this time it was meant for Imba. So what did I create? I created a batteries included Framework heavily inspired by Laravel but it runs on Nodejs, and uses Imba as the default language, but you can actually use TypeScript or JavaScript. In fact, when creating a new project using the Framework, you will be asked if you want to use "Imba" or "TypeScript". You can scaffold an Imba SPA or MPA, you can even use React or Vue, it all depends on what you are used to.

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations https://bit.ly/3VddE34

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations Hello HN! I want to show you MyNixOS.com - a website I've been working on this year to make it easy to create and share Nix and NixOS configurations. Nix is a powerful tool to deploy software in a reproducible way, and with NixOS you can control your whole operating system through a declarative configuration. Starting out with Nix was exciting, but it definitely had a challenging learning curve. This made me start building a website focused on making it easier to create and share Nix flakes, which are the core unit of software deployment in Nix. Using the website, you can create flakes without knowing the Nix configuration language, as the necessary Nix files are generated for you. A few examples of what you can do right now: 1: Create and build a Docker image with Redis and OpenSSH running NixOS: https://bit.ly/3UgDIJs / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM 2: Create a Nix development shell with Neovim and Zig and run it on Windows 11: https://bit.ly/3u2DlYa / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q72mGjYXA 3: Create a reproducible macOS environment using nix-darwin and Home Manager: https://bit.ly/3Va8vZz / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Y7s1sRSUY 4: Create a Linode server image using NixOS running Nginx with Let's Encrypt: https://bit.ly/3u4cCdT / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4X0fjD0-Y 5: Create a Raspberry Pi NixOS image running Transmission and OpenSSH: https://bit.ly/3UdfG27 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0H92-JdHA The site works directly with the Nix command line tool, and generates pure Nix flakes without any custom formats. The website is currently in alpha and is developed as a closed source project. Some interesting upcoming features include support for language environments such as Python, and the ability to install arbitrary versions of packages. By posting on HN, I'm especially looking to get in contact with early commercial users of Nix to learn more about the most important use-cases to solve. Hoping that you will find the site useful, and I'll happily try to answer any questions you might have! https://bit.ly/3u4POuw November 27, 2022 at 02:15PM

Show HN: I wrote a book about forms usability https://bit.ly/3ieIMRi

Show HN: I wrote a book about forms usability Hello. I'm a developer who wrote a book about forms. The thing is that I suffer from perfectionism. It's not "just to convince you guys that I wrote something cool". My book is pretty mediocre. However in order to write it, I rented a hotel (!) in a different country because I couldn't find a quiet place where I could do this. And spent here ~1.5 month writing it. I'm highly inspired by two guys. Those guys who wrote RefactoringUI (Adam Wathan & Steve Schoger) and Josh W Comeau (who made css-for-developers). Both of them made terrific products. My dream is to get to their level. But here is a thing: I planned to spend a whole year for this book, but due to the war (I'm from Russia) I had to migrate to another country. And a lot of things has happened. After suffering depressing (hello Fluvoxamine & Xanax), I finally made something that I can show. If I get some results (yes, basically, sells), I'll dedicate the next year to get close to those guys mentioned above. One of the ideas is to write a book (or even a course) about tables. They are complicated. Another one is to upgrade https://bit.ly/3V9ITw0 to a printed book. Many ideas, but it's hard to realize that the whole year was hectic due to the well-known sad events that happened. One thing I want to mention about "what's cool about this offer". In the "Complete package" there is a discount for FramesX. It's the first time I used a product in Figma and I used it for my illustrations. Next week this guy releases the second version. And I RELALY liked this one. So that might be even better than offer than my book :D https://bit.ly/3AOMmb7 November 27, 2022 at 12:59PM

Show HN: I made a sliding puzzle game https://bit.ly/3ECOEeB

Show HN: I made a sliding puzzle game Inspired by another recent puzzle game [1] and bored at home while sick with the stomach flu, I decided to create a mobile-friendly version of the sliding-tile puzzle game that I once played as a kid. How to play: 1. Tap a square to move it to the empty square. 2. Repeat until you've unscrambled the image. Options: - Allow swapping: Any image square can be moved to the empty square. (Easier) - Only sliding: Only image squares that are directly adjacent to the empty square can be moved. (Harder) Created in a day with React and the Unsplash random image API. Of course, that Unsplash API happens to be returning 503s at the moment of this submission, so I've manually added about 20 images for now. It was a fun toy project, but I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions.

Show HN: Google Sheets GOOGLEFINANCE() reliability enhancement https://bit.ly/3i6QEEq

Show HN: Google Sheets GOOGLEFINANCE() reliability enhancement Anyone who uses GOOGLEFINANCE() for stock/ETF prices and then logs your total portfolio assets daily (by trigger), knows that it is not 100% reliable. What I wanted was something that would use the last good data point if GOOGLEFINANCE was failing. So I added caching to solve this problem. There is also another issue that GOOGLEFINANCE is particularly bad with Canadian stock symbols. It also does not find stock/etf dividend yields. For this I query a few finance websites to pull in the missing info. Now the problem looking up a couple hundred symbols using =CACHEFINANCE() (my custom function) was the dreaded 'Loading' error, which would also cause asset tracking to fail - so... I also added the capability to run as a trigger function, so it has now been 100% success for my logging. The app script will create a trigger for each job required (i.e. pricing is one, yieldpct is another, etc.). It will also automatically exit and re-start the trigger if it can't get through all requests before the 6 minute mark (a Google restriction). This is especially needed with the 'Yieldpct' because all data is found using URL fetch - which is much slower than a working GOOGLEFINANCE. I have made this an open source project if you want to use the Google Apps Script. Please let me know of any suggestions to help improve going forward. This version works for me, but of course the first person using other than me will probably find something wrong. I'm sure my README.md could use some further enhancements. https://bit.ly/3Vqra3b November 24, 2022 at 11:42PM

The goal of the project is to build an Open Source _centralized_ social network that would ideally compete with Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The main difference between the well established social and this one would be that it is going to be built and managed in the public, in the most transparent way possible. Features will be implemented and requested by the community - and generally speaking everything would be community-centric.

Show HN: Organize Carpools with Co-Workers Here's something I've been working on to help employees find carpooling options with co-workers. With inflation & gas prices going up this seems like a really good thing to have going forward. Happy to have any feedback and I'll roll it back into the site. Thank you! https://bit.ly/3B4d93Y This is a repost after 10 weeks up working on feedback from HN with updates and a website redesign [1]. I submitted this before and there was very good feedback about target audience, need to show benefits, etc. Basically, I had a website that looked like it was designed by a programmer. I'd spent 95% of the work on the backend systems and 5% on the website. I've tried to majorly improve the website with screenshots and demos now.

Show HN: General Task, a free task manager for builders (beta) https://bit.ly/3GwiGU5

Show HN: General Task, a free task manager for builders (beta) Hello everyone! I left my job to start General Task a little over a year ago, and have been building a better free task manager with a small team. We aim to be the best place where one can find what’s next in their workday and we integrate with a number of different services to help do that. We’re still in the early stages of a beta, but so far you can: - Create/edit tasks with due dates, priorities, and folders - Drag tasks onto your calendar to block off time to do them (syncs with GCal) - Sync with Linear (JIRA coming soon) to see tasks assigned to you - Sync with Github to see your PRs - Integrate with Slack to make tasks directly from Slack What sets us apart? We know there are tons of task managers out there. We believe ours is different because it is tailor-made for engineers, with integrations for Github PRs, Linear and Slack. We also support dragging tasks onto your calendar, which is usually only found in premium paid products, while our consumer product is free and always will be. Our mission is to make knowledge workers more productive, and we believe the best way to do that is by focusing on software engineers and achieving mass adoption of a free consumer product before releasing a paid product for businesses. Let us know what you think! NOTE: We currently only support Google sign-in, sorry about that! We will be adding more login options soon. If you don't want to sign in with Google, you can see a quick 1 minute demo of our features here: https://youtu.be/NUOIH2On_Nw https://bit.ly/3GAzucG November 18, 2022 at 06:55PM

Show HN: Life Skills Program https://bit.ly/3Ou9IIP

Show HN: Life Skills Program Over a year ago, I purchased a small online business selling life skills curriculum to homeschool and special education families. The main asset was the library of 400+ lessons, each including a short video and PDF. The revenue appeared to reflect meaningful demand for such a program. At the time I purchased the business, the delivery mechanisms were pretty fragmented and browsing the lessons was all behind the paywall. Today I'm releasing a whole new website that brings (I hope) a more modern experience. Principally you can now browse all of the life skills library. I'm also hoping that this approach lends itself to better SEO as well. While this is pretty far from being able to sustain the family from an income perspective, it's been really neat to connect with families who are taking the initiative to raise capable young adults. https://bit.ly/3gmsKEu November 20, 2022 at 04:10PM

So from january 2020 to september 2022, I listened through the HVSC having over 50k songs, resulting in a list of 600-700 favorites. I put together a UX so I can easily access them. This project is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I guess that many others here would also enjoy it. Please let me know if you have suggestions for songs I should reconsider adding, or some feedback on the UX.

Here is an experimental CodeMirror-based editor, that lets you look up translations inline.

Show HN: Write drum patterns, get randomized songs, then just share the URL I know mentioning Michael Seibel is almost cheating, but this week he demonstrated the "leaky pipes" concept to me. Not that I know the guy, but in one of his videos he says something on the lines of "If you are unsure if you app is ready to be launched, just launch it. It's like a house with leaky pipes, just open the main, grab your tools, and start fixing wherever water is leaking". So we did it, we launched drummy earlier this week on /r/InternetIsBeautiful and we got very close to 10k users in just one day! Survived the hug of death, learned a ton, and made changes all around. Still a ton of bugs to fix, features to be written, but at least now we can proudly present the "dummy drums challenges".

Show HN: Dlna-cast, a command line tool to cast PC screen to DLNA devices https://bit.ly/3g3rlSW

Show HN: Dlna-cast, a command line tool to cast PC screen to DLNA devices dlna-cat is a cross-platform command-line tool that casts screen and media file to remote DLNA device. dlna-cast uses ffmpeg to capture screen and audio, then convert them into HLS streams which could be served by a simple HTTP server. The HLS url will be send to the selected device via uPnP protocol and then you can watch you screen on the remote device (smart TV, typically). This tool is supposed to be cross-platform but currently I don't have a Linux or MacOS device at hand so it can only run on Windows now. It won't be hard to support other platforms though, as there are no platform specific dependencies. HLS is chosen just because it is easy to implement. But the problem of HLS is its high latency (up to 5-10s or more) so it's definitely not for scenarios that require low latency (presentation for example). But as a trade-off the streaming quality exceeds a lot of software screen-casting solutions (Lebocast for example) that have been tested by myself, which make it pretty good to stream music or video playing from your PC to TV. https://bit.ly/3tuSZvm November 14, 2022 at 06:37PM

Show HN: Eleven – Free, open-source, Codespaces alternative with automatic HTTPS Hey HN, Eleven is the second project that I've built to learn Go. It lets you create code sandboxes, in your cloud provider account, easily. What's a "code sandbox"? Just a VM, running in your cloud provider account, with some runtimes pre-installed, your repositories cloned, a way to connect to it with your preferred editor (or via SSH) and a way to serve your apps easily via HTTP (with automatic HTTPS). You could use it as a remote development environment, to test some code or even to deploy your app. It's up to you. For example, to deploy a Node.JS app: $ eleven aws init hello-world --runtimes node@18.7.0 --repositories eleven-sh/hello-world > Success! The sandbox "hello-world" was initialized. $ ssh eleven/hello-world forever node index.js > Forever: command started. Run "forever stop" in current path to stop. $ eleven aws serve hello-world 8000 --as hello.eleven.sh > Success! The port "8000" is now reachable at: https://bit.ly/3sYF9kp $ curl https://bit.ly/3sYF9kp > Hello World Still learning Go by the way, so I'm open to any suggestions to improve. https://bit.ly/3DspXBb November 13, 2022 at 10:01AM

Show HN: My paternity leave side project, a watercolor art generator https://bit.ly/3G6VUlg

Show HN: My paternity leave side project, a watercolor art generator Hi HN - this is a little side project I threw together while on paternity leave (primarily developed with one arm while holding a sleeping baby in the other). Some implementation details: image processing is all done with headless GIMP (running inside a Docker container) through its built-in Python API. It's _very_ slow (about 50 seconds/image), and currently it processes exactly one image at a time. The website is built with NextJS; payments are processed by Stripe. I've had the best results with pictures of houses, although certain photos of people or nature can look neat, too. (For example: https://bit.ly/3G9tjMq , original photo from https://bit.ly/3DSHTVy .) The effect obscures the edges of the photo, so images with plenty of margin around the subject work best. Something I'd like to play around with is swapping the GIMP script for an AI-based process (maybe using something like Stable Diffusion?), with the goal of generating images that look more handmade (something like these: https://etsy.me/3E05WC7 ). I have exactly zero AI experience though, so there would be a bit of a learning curve. Would love any thoughts or critiques! https://bit.ly/3E1gEIt November 11, 2022 at 03:32PM

Show HN: Custom Keylabels for Your Custom Keyboard Layouts https://bit.ly/3DY82Tc

Show HN: Custom Keylabels for Your Custom Keyboard Layouts Hey HN, This is a bit of a weekend project that I'm currently trying out. When I'm changing the layout of my moonlander, I wish there was a way to change the labels of the keys as well. So I thought about making some label stickers that sit over the key, and after some experimentation I'm pretty happy with the results, however I need a few other "keyboard buddies" to make it economical. So I'm introducing https://bit.ly/3G4CSfx as a way for people to download the same template I used, and send it to me to get it printed out. I run in batches of 8 and while atm the prices are a little high, they can come down significantly if I get a few orders and verify the demand first. Let me know what you think and please feel free to send it to any people you know who have custom keyboards and layouts! https://bit.ly/3G4CSfx November 11, 2022 at 03:18AM

Show HN: Hstream – quick Python web apps (Streamlit alternative using htmx) https://bit.ly/3hvEswP

Show HN: Hstream – quick Python web apps (Streamlit alternative using htmx) I love Streamlit but have run into many situation where taking it from PoC to MVP state is insurmountable. With all the recent HN hype around htmx and sematic html / classless css I decided to build a Streamlit alternative using these on top of FastAPI. This has a couple advantages: 1) easier to extend when you move past PoC since the FastAPI app is exposed (allowing adding more routes) and hstream acts more like a typical web stack 2) with htmx and html (plus MVP.css) doing the heavy lifting the package is alot less complex and easier to reason about - and hopefully more performant eventually 3) html is simple, so using this we can give the user much more control around the look and feel, while falling back onto MVP.css (classless css) sane defaults. Would love to hear people's thoughts. https://bit.ly/3NSQsob November 10, 2022 at 04:25PM

Show HN: Hypertest - A test runner for developers with ADHD https://bit.ly/3UygCyC

Show HN: Hypertest - A test runner for developers with ADHD TL;DR: a test runner focused on making devs w/ ADHD happy. Hello HN! My name is Yuval, a dev with ADHD. I believe there's different design constraints on tooling for devs with ADHD compared to their "normal"counterparts. That's what I'm here to solve. I gathered experiences of other ADHD devs, to summarize: ( https://bit.ly/3WLrDyp ) - Memory: People w/ ADHD have horrendous short term memory (hard to keep grasp of the current *thing/task*) - Distraction: Are easily distracted, tend to fall off the focus wagon easily. - Boring Maintenance: They need and use lists, but are bad at maintaining them.

Show HN: Supertweak – a visual devtools extension for Tailwind CSS https://bit.ly/3DLjcKQ

Show HN: Supertweak – a visual devtools extension for Tailwind CSS Hi folks, I've been working on a visual devtool chrome extension for Tailwind CSS for quite some time now and just launched in recently. It let's you tweak your website from the browser itself and copy the classes or html afterwards to paste in your IDE. It's especially well suited to try out changes quickly, but I've built most of the landing page with the help of the extension itself. You can try it out in the landing page itself (no need to install anything). Features: - Click on any class (eg: px-4) and try out other values easily. - Preview the website in responsive mode and quickly toggle between breakpoints. auto detects breakpoints set in the config. - Quickly try out new variants. Supports arbitrary variants too. - Lets you try out arbitrary and negative property values. - Add, remove or re-order elements. - Edit element attributes and text nodes etc. I'm excited to share it here and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions. https://bit.ly/3A0qsS7 November 9, 2022 at 06:22PM

Show HN: Open-source load testing on AWS Lambda. With built-in cost reporting https://bit.ly/3hxfg8Q

Show HN: Open-source load testing on AWS Lambda. With built-in cost reporting Hiya HN! tldr: Artillery is an open-source load testing toolkit. It's cloud-native, i.e. you can scale out your test with AWS Lambda (other runtimes coming soon). There's no infra to set up or manage - you give Artillery an AWS account, and it takes care of the rest. We just released an update which includes cost reporting. Every time you run a load test, Artillery will show how much that cost in AWS Lambda fees. Blog post with a demo here: https://bit.ly/3To9UdA The demo shows a distributed load test running in us-east-1 at 100k+ RPS for about 10 minutes. Total cost is $1.23. We constantly hear from our users how cost is one of the biggest barriers to load testing more frequently. We're making cost much less of a factor with Artillery, and hoping that will unlock load testing at scale to more teams. Would love to hear what the biggest barriers are for you with load testing!

Show HN: Auto-file bugs to GitHub issues with console logs and network requests https://bit.ly/3FZWLnS

Show HN: Auto-file bugs to GitHub issues with console logs and network requests Hi HN, my team and I have been working on a new tool to improve how bugs are reported to engineers. I used to be a developer, and I thought it was ridiculous the little amount of bug repro details I would get in JIRA tickets. Then I became a product manager, and I realized how time consuming and tedious it was to write good tickets for developers (and then understood why most tickets lack enough detail!) That’s why my team and I decided to build a browser extension for anyone to create bug reports that auto-include: console logs, network requests, session replay, timestamp, url, browser, OS and device specs, and wifi speed. With this extension, it’s faster than the old-school way to report bugs (a few clicks, plus no switching tabs). And, for the developer receiving the bug reports, it should be faster to debug because all the information is right there. We started with a Chrome extension and soon we’re going to build extensions for other browsers too. (Which should we add next? We’re thinking Firefox). We built this in react, typescript, mobx, and graphql. It’s privacy-focused: everything happens locally on your browser until you choose to share, and you can even select which specific websites you want the extension to run on in settings. Today we shipped an integration with GitHub - meaning it’s now just a few seconds to create a really good GitHub issue. I hope you check it out and I hope it helps bring about the end of bad tickets for you and your team! If you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know here! https://bit.ly/3G2mJay November 9, 2022 at 03:29PM

Show HN: Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany https://bit.ly/3TeZEnU

Show HN: Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany Many people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are: 1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany, 2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax system, 3. make it mobile-friendly so that anyone with only a mobile phone can easily use it. I am currently working on translations into Russian and Farsi (based on the requests from several organisations who are working with refugees in Germany), with other languages to follow. The website is already available in the following languages: Arabic, English, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian. What do you think about design? Is it intuitive or does it need some improvement? All feedback is welcome. https://bit.ly/3t6FWzX November 7, 2022 at 12:36PM

I'd love to hear what people think about it and please post or send me any shaders you make! You can use the link button in the bottom right to share. I hope that this gets more people interested in shaders because GPU programming is a pretty different paradigm and learning it has made me a better software engineer even though my current job doesn't touch it. That said, textshader only runs normal Javascript on the CPU so think of it like a simplified sandbox and not the real thing. I'd highly recommend checking out shadertoy to level up to the real deal too! https://bit.ly/3Ucq8aS November 7, 2022 at 05:32AM

Show HN: Lotus – Open Source Pricing and Packaging Infrastructure https://bit.ly/3DJ4PGM

Show HN: Lotus – Open Source Pricing and Packaging Infrastructure Hi HN! We’re building an open-source pricing & packaging engine for SaaS with a built-in billing system. ( https://bit.ly/3UvItPM ). We strongly believe pricing is the largest untapped growth lever for SaaS, primarily because pricing affects so many critical systems that don’t talk to each other (billing, payments, feature limits, metering, and CRM). We’re building this infrastructure to fix this and enable quick experimentation. Lotus acts as a central repository for all of your pricing plans and utilizes your payment gateway, to manage usage-based, per-seat, and custom enterprise pricing. We’re excited to open-source this because we want to enable developers to build their custom pricing and integration edge cases on top of this base. We’ve launched this repo under an MIT license so any developer can use the tool. Give it a spin for us at either: * test our cloud version at ( https://bit.ly/3WN8WdV ) * self-host here ( https://bit.ly/3UvItPM ) and let us know what you think. All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, follow us and we’ll keep you updated when we’ve fully published all our beta features. https://bit.ly/3UvItPM November 6, 2022 at 05:30PM

Show HN: Step CI – open-source lightweight alternative to Checkly In our last post, we showed that there is an easy way to generate automated tests for Rest APIs from your specification. Since the last release, we have added some new features: - Generate tests from your API spec in the CLI - Run tests against gRPC APIs automatically - Get request and response information when your tests fail - Generate fake data and use them in the requests - Bring your own test data (from .csv) - More intuitive CLI interface We built this because we wanted a simple, developer-friendly way to automate API testing without relying on cloud solutions. You can integrate it with Docker, GitHub Actions and Node. Your tests can have multiple steps, with shared context between them. Lastly, you can use it as a library and in combination with other testing tools like Jest, Ava, Mocha (and soon Insomnia). If you want to step out of locked-in cloud solutions, give our tool a try. https://bit.ly/3U4A1Yc November 4, 2022 at 04:12PM

Show HN: RealSkillz – PR based homework assignments, for hireing developers https://bit.ly/3U53wJf

Show HN: RealSkillz – PR based homework assignments, for hireing developers RealSkillz helps you assess your developer candidates through real-world technical assignments. From several sources and also our own experience, we think that the process of hiring developers is broken. Currently most of the available interview platforms only provide arbitrary interview tasks their candidates. Most of the developer jobs does not require heavy algorithmic skills. Still most of the interviews focus on that. We think this is painful for the developers and for the companies alike. As a developer, you need to maintain a very specific set of skill just for your interviews, while you can rarely show how you really shine in a more realistic coding scenario. As a company, you select your candidate by an irrelevant interview task, having limited knowledge how the candidate works in a daily setting. RealSkillz aims to fix this broken hireing process by generating pull request based homework assignments for developer candidates.

Show HN: Nudges.fyi – simple, unmissable reminders via phone/text/email https://bit.ly/3zFQJow

Show HN: Nudges.fyi – simple, unmissable reminders via phone/text/email I built this app primarily for my wife, who has tried many mainstream todo-list apps (OmniFocus, Things, and Todoist come to mind) over the years with little success. She isn't particularly interested in setting up a productivity system and the administrivia that goes with it. Even having to remember to look at an app once a day was far from ideal for her. This app is an attempt at a solution for anyone that fits this description, with a focus on alerting over organization. Here's how it works: you create a nudge that's set to trigger at a given date and time, and the app phones you, texts you, or emails you (or all three) at the right moment. Nudges can trigger on a schedule, so something like "call me about monthly bills for the next month on the last day of every month" is quite easy to set up. It also works well (sample size 1, admittedly) as a supplement to a more robust GTD system. I use Things for almost everything, but my most important reminders are set up as nudges. I've worked on this on and off for the last month or so and I think it's ready for a Show HN. There's likely some rough edges in there so I wouldn't use it for anything _critical_ just yet (let me know if you see anything that looks buggy!). I cut a lot of scope in order to release an initial version quickly; here's a list of things I'm considering adding to the app in the near future: - Implement something analogous to Pagerduty: create nudges that repeatedly nag you (with something like an escalation policy) until you acknowledge them - More notification channels: get nudges on Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc. - Families (or teams, possibly) share a namespace and can send nudges to each other - Nudges that collect a response: possibly for polls, a daily diary entry, or habit tracker - Incoming and outgoing webhooks - Snooze a nudge so it re-triggers in X minutes I work on distributed systems at my day job and haven't done frontend and CRUD things in a long while now, so building this out was a nice change of pace. If anyone's curious, the app is built with: Next.js (in static HTML mode) and Tailwind for the frontend, Go for the API server and background nudge loop, and SQLite (+Litestream) for persistence. In any case, I'm looking for feedback from the HN community here: is this something you would use? TL;DR: schedule reminders for yourself via phone call, text message, and/or email (PS: the free plan doesn't allow call/SMS nudges because I'm a bit wary of spam, but if you'd like to give this a shot and can't [or don't want to] subscribe to a paid plan at this point, send me an email at tim@nudges.fyi for a 1-month code) https://bit.ly/3fwcaSa November 2, 2022 at 06:00PM

Show HN: Xata, serverless database on top of PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch https://bit.ly/3NqHeiy

Show HN: Xata, serverless database on top of PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch Hi! Xata was on HackerNews once before ( https://bit.ly/3zBHtBO ) a bit over a year ago, when we were at the beginning of our development. We've promised we're going to do a Show HN page when we come out of Private Beta, and this just happened today. Xata is a product in the serverless database space. We know that the space is fairly crowded now, with lots of great companies started recently. We're happy to see a fresh wave of database products, that are focused more on the developer experience, rather than a race to the bottom on performance and cost. We are part of this wave, but we also think our offering is quite differentiated: - First, out of all the options out there, we're aiming to be the easiest to get started with and the easiest to use. We are cloud-only and our product feels more like a SaaS-like experience than an IaaS experience. If you've hacked together an app with data stored in Airtable or GitHub, you should try Xata next time. It's just as easy to use but has constraints, data integrity, type-safe clients, etc. - We offer functionality from multiple data stores. Today, the source of truth for the data is in PostgreSQL and we also replicate it in Elasticsearch. This means that we can offer free-text-search and aggregation functionality that goes beyond what's possible in PostgreSQL. In the future, we'll add more functionality around in-memory caching, queues, etc, so all data patterns that you need are available via a single, serverless, consistent API. This sounds complex (and it is), but the complexity is entirely on our side. Your application can just reap the benefits. - It is vertically integrated and focused on developer workflows: we provide a nice web UI, a TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, and VS Code extension, all working together with minimal friction. The TypeScript SDK is somewhat similar with Prisma, because it gives you type safety for both the parameters and the return types. However, it is different because it is a pure-TypeScript implementation, which means it is more lightweight and can run in Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, etc. Some more links, if you want to dig into the details: - For examples of the API, see our API Guide: https://bit.ly/3NqPEq6 - For technical details about the inner workings of Xata, see our fairly long How it Works guide: https://bit.ly/3WqwxR6 - We think this approach is new and gave it a name: Serverless Data Platform, which is explained here: https://bit.ly/3DSqzBv - For a high-level overview of the features available, see: https://bit.ly/3WAkAJ1 We would really love your feedback! https://bit.ly/3NtlAKH November 2, 2022 at 08:43AM

Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU https://bit.ly/3DOcFAa

Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU RISC-V's compressed instruction (RVC) extension is intended as an add-on to the regular, 32-bit instruction set, not a replacement or competitor. Its designers intended RVC instructions to be expanded into regular 32-bit RV32I equivalents via a pre-decoder. What happens if we explicitly architect a RISC-V CPU to execute RVC instructions, and "mop up" any RV32I instructions that aren't convenient via a microcode layer? What architectural optimizations are unlocked as a result? "Minimax" is an experimental RISC-V implementation intended to establish if an RVC-optimized CPU is, in practice, any simpler than an ordinary RV32I core with pre-decoder. While it passes a modest test suite, you should not use it without caution. (There are a large number of excellent, open source, "little" RISC-V implementations you should probably use reach for first.) https://bit.ly/3h2eDE2 November 1, 2022 at 04:41PM
