Show HN: Micro Chat – Private group chat https://bit.ly/43BsLXQ

Show HN: Micro Chat – Private group chat Hey all I'm Asim. I'm an engineer who's been hacking on an open source project called Micro for the past eight years ( https://bit.ly/3oJsQtN ). In that time I've done a lot of things, all Dev related but ultimately most of my career was spent working on platforms for consumer products. After many attempts I've decided the path forward is to focus on building something that solves my own problem. Micro Chat is a solution to some of the social media problems I've been having. What I've been looking for most of my life is a community. A place to belong. I scoured the internet for that with strangers. But I think that's wrong. The public forums are also the wrong place to find that connection. What we need to do is focus on smaller communities starting with real connections. We need to strip away a lot of the addictive behaviours and issues created by social media. I think things like hackernews are great because it's very simple text based, with no notification and centers around conversations about topics of interest. I think that's how group chat should also be. The difference here is, I want a place to build small private communities e.g micro communities. Most real groups lose their value beyond a certain size. For me that's around 20 people. As an introvert I really care about strong connections with a handful of people. Unfortunately those real world connections are now spread globally as people moved away and while we have private slacks or WhatsApp grojps to stay in touch it just feels like the wrong setup for that. If anything I want to consolidate it into one place. Anyway I'm sharing this now to get some feedback. I think the tech and the product will evolve but only by finding out if others feel the same. https://bit.ly/3NePAvv https://bit.ly/3NePAvv May 31, 2023 at 08:55AM

Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists https://bit.ly/3MPjoxk

Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists Hello HN community! I’m one of the founders of Magma, a multiplayer art platform. You might recall our earlier post ( https://bit.ly/3wRyawY ), and today we’re sharing a significant update with our artist-focused, multiplayer AI assistant, a first in the realm of collaborative creative tools. Hope you’ll like it! See how it works in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk . For in-depth understanding, here’s our documentation ( https://bit.ly/3MPjq8q ) and our AI manifesto ( https://bit.ly/3MPjqVY ) which is a guiding document for us. We're inviting you to get hands-on with this new feature. Join any of these canvases (up to 50 live contributors each): https://bit.ly/3WJGEkT , https://bit.ly/3MCsfCe , https://bit.ly/3oHm73J , https://bit.ly/3MPjg0O , https://bit.ly/3WGKwms , https://bit.ly/3N6mMFp , https://bit.ly/3oMug6R , https://bit.ly/3MPjtkC , https://bit.ly/3IPmEHx , https://bit.ly/3MHw894 . All of these canvases have extra feature flags enabled but if you’d like to go beyond them, feel free to join our beta community https://bit.ly/3INUr40 Our artist-first approach is rooted in our belief that human creativity should remain the heart of artistry. With our AI handling routine tasks, artists can focus on true creativity. Importantly, our AI preserves artists' copyright as it provides a clear distinction between human-generated and AI-generated content. Beyond just art, Magma is a powerful tool for game dev and animation, offering powerful design & review tools for all stages of the creative process. Our Slack/GDrive-like workspaces (we call them Artspaces) expose API and even shell tools. One can even render any artwork in the terminal. :) Technically speaking, our collaborative drawing engine is powered by Typescript, Node.JS, WebGL, with a hint of WebAssembly for hand-optimized performance that even Chromebooks can handle. The backend also leverages a high performance Typescript Deepkit Framework https://bit.ly/3IPmPCH Our AI assistant runs on a worker-based architecture akin to Gitlab CI workers, currently leveraging Stable Diffusion 2.1. Future developments will allow connecting your own AI worker, training custom models within Magma, and plugging in API keys from other AI backends. Feedback, questions, thoughts? Let's discuss! Happy creating with a helping hand of AI! P.S. A shout-out to the HN community, our last post here helped us connect with an amazing technical angel investor who has made significant contributions. Looking forward to more such productive connections! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk May 31, 2023 at 02:49PM

Funny things: Games can be created using the programming language Lua. Tiny is designed to help you create and test your ideas quickly and effectively. Not only can you run your games on your desktop computer, but you can also export them for the web, making it easy to share your creations with others. You can create games easily with the hot reload, small API and Lua, which is very easy to learn.

Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment https://bit.ly/3OLgTPc

Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment HB here, sharing my first post ; ) I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills. Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours? https://bit.ly/3oyIV5J , has the following goals: 1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms. 2. Employ AI to help rank applicants for each role, based on human factors and company culture. 3. Transform the selection process into something akin to scrolling through TikTok or using Tinder. Job seekers won't need to fill out forms, attach resumes, create an account or download anything. They just scan a QR code, record a short video, and they're done. It's truly simple! The aim was never to build an ATS (too complex for our needs) or a job listing site (there are many already). Instead, something simpler, to use wherever we already advertise vacancies, be it online or in print. We believe small businesses that lack recruitment tools (like we did) might appreciate it, although Candydate can certainly help businesses of all sizes. I have no idea how to launch or promote this type of tool, so any feedback or tips on spreading the word or improving the app would be immensely appreciated. Many thanks, HN! https://bit.ly/3oyIV5J May 29, 2023 at 03:34PM

Show HN: HNRelevant – Show related HN submissions in an integrated sidebar While browsing Hacker News, I wished for an easier way to find related submissions (instead of googling and going back and forth). So I made this small chrome extension that automatically shows relevant submissions on page load. It's intergrated as a sidebar right in the page (for ease & native look), with customization options for fine control. It's based on HN algolia search API[1] and uses the submission title as its initial query with the ability to customize the query if you're not satisfied with the initial results. Originally, I took it as an opportunity to try my hands at creating a browser extension, but I was quite satisfied with the result and so I decided to release it.

Show HN: I created a game to memorize the fretboard Hey guys I've been playing the guitar for many years but I felt like I had hit a wall and wasnt making progress. One of the things I realized was holding me back was unfamiliarity with the fretboard. I'd often find myself in situations like “Uhh…Where’s the C# here?” “Where’s the flat-3rd of this root on the 4th string?” “Sure would be nice to know the closest min7 triad shape to play over here..” I tried memorizing the fretboard the obvious way but it extreeemly boring for me. Being a developer, I decided to turn it into a game. I'd love for you guys to try it out and let me know what you think: It's at [www.fretboardfly.com]( https://bit.ly/3CgRJR3 ) I've only built the first module right now which is for note memorization but there's been enough interest that I'm planning on building more modules. Please let me know if you like it, what you'd change about it and what other modules you'd like to see in future. The stack is Vue 3/Nuxt 3/Firebase/Firestore/Tailwind deployed on Vercel.

Show HN: Collaborative recipe manager for iOS, built with SwiftUI and Firebase https://bit.ly/3MB9zml

Show HN: Collaborative recipe manager for iOS, built with SwiftUI and Firebase I initially created Umami for my family. We'd been using a giant google sheet of recipes that my wife made (one recipe per tab plus a table of contents at the front), but the UX of that left much to be desired, especially on mobile. We also tried a bunch of other recipe apps like Paprika, Whisk, Mela, etc., but most of them don't let you create a shared collection of recipes without using the same login credentials, which we didn't want to share with extended family members. Anyways, I've steadily been working on Umami as a solo side project for about 3 years. At first, just my family and a few friends were using it, but now it's starting to get downloaded by other people. I'd love to get feedback here on what kinds of features would be helpful to y'all. Also happy to answer any questions about the tech stack. Thanks friends! https://bit.ly/45t4h55 May 25, 2023 at 06:37PM

Show HN: HN Follow – Follow Your Friends on HN https://bit.ly/42fqNvy

Show HN: HN Follow – Follow Your Friends on HN HN Follow lets you follow authors on Hacker News, and get email notifications when they post. It was inspired by alerthn.com and hnreplies.com. The app was built in an experimental style on Val Town. We’re trying to create a new web primitive that you can: 1. write like a function 2. run like a script 3. fork like a repo 4. install like an app This is our 5th iteration of this same “HN Follow” app. We launched the 3rd version here on Hacker News six months ago[1], but it was very kindly removed from the front page by dang in favor of us launching Val Town itself first, which we did in January[2]. We’re trying to strike the right balance between something you can use and install with one click, and something you can infinitely customize. For example, you could fork `@rodrigoTello.hnFollowApp`[3] and change the input parameter from authors to a generic query, like I do here[4] to get notifications whenever “val town” is mentioned on HN. In addition to emailing myself (via `console.email`), I also send a message to our team’s Discord. The possibilities are endless, but it can also be overwhelming. We’re trying to find the balance where we help you navigate the space of possible integrations, without limiting you the way a no-code tool would. We would really appreciate your guys’ feedback and suggestions!

Show HN: Gis.chat – a Geospatial Community https://bit.ly/3omE6wh

Show HN: Gis.chat – a Geospatial Community Hi folks! I'm excited to show you gis.chat, a geospatial chat platform in both senses: a platform about geospatial topics and a geospatial platform itself, referencing the location of our communities. The setup is fairly simple and reproducible: a plain Zulip instance and a homepage with geospatial search capabilities. It seems almost trivial but it has some very nice features. I guess you should be familiar with Zulips stream/topic model to follow along ( https://bit.ly/43pkGWo ). The core idea is that there are city-specific streams (currently represented by a pin), but there could just as well be streams about points of interest, line geometries (e.g. a river) or polygons (e.g. national park). - Every local stream can have the same topics, e.g. "general", "news", "meetups", "jobs" etc. - With Zulip's search you can either search for a particular topic, e.g. "news" in a local stream or instead in all streams and have some kind of news feed of the community with "topic:news" - Once more communities are added, specific filters could be added, e.g. country-wise or by drawing your own area of interest - Eventually, for the ones who like, users could associate themselves with a local community in their profile or add there main location so one could not only search for the local communities but instead also for individuals There are many nice features in Zulip's pipeline that would foster gis.chat: - Further nesting of streams/topics - Semantic search If for example Zulip would allow for saving coordinates (or better an entire geometry) in the Postgres DB, with the help of PostGIS, Zulip's search could allow for bounding boxes (or custom geometries). Let me know if you have any kind of other ideas or feedback! https://bit.ly/3MAr1r2 May 23, 2023 at 07:24AM

Show HN: Yakread – An RSS reader powered by machine learning https://bit.ly/435tL6L

Show HN: Yakread – An RSS reader powered by machine learning This is a web-based reading app I've been working on since August. The main differentiator is that Yakread uses machine learning to rank the articles in your feed: as you click on articles from a particular RSS/newsletter subscription, other articles from that subscription will tend to be ranked higher in the future (via a bandit algorithm). Yakread also uses ML to recommend articles that other users have read, so your feed will have articles in it even before you sign up and add your own subscriptions. For the recommendations, I'm using the collaborative filtering implementation from Spark MLlib[1]. I model RSS feeds instead of individual articles: when you click an article, that counts as a "point" for that article's RSS feed; at recommendation time, the algorithm first selects an RSS feed to recommend, and then it picks one of the popular/recent articles from that feed. To counter popularity bias, I have a pre-ranking step that probabilistically filters out RSS feeds that have already been recommended a lot. I manually approve all RSS feeds before they're eligible to be recommended. In addition to scrolling through the algorithmic feed, you can read articles chronologically on the subscriptions page, which I sometimes prefer when I have a larger chunk of reading time. There's also a daily digest email that lists new articles from your subscriptions; skimming that is part of my morning routine. I find the whole system gives me a nice balance between algorithmic filtering and manual control. This is the culmination of the past four years I've spent as a full-time bootstrapped founder; Yakread both scratches a personal itch and attempts to fix various deficiencies that my previous businesses have had. In a nutshell, I've come to believe that "discovery is a feature, not a product," which is why Yakread is a full reading app instead of a standalone recommender system like my previous products.[2] From a business perspective, the recommendation algorithm is primarily intended to help onboard new users quickly/easily. More ideologically, I think RSS is ready for a comeback :). [1] https://bit.ly/3MTxcYJ... -- I'm using the implicit feedback setting.

Show HN: Mental Models for Startup Founders https://bit.ly/41ZxRMp

Show HN: Mental Models for Startup Founders Hello HN, I launched Wingify/VWO (Visual Website Optimizer) here on HN in 2010. The initial momentum and feedback I got from this place was a key reason I was able to profitably bootstrap the company to roughly ~$30MN ARR. Over the last 2 years, I have been writing a book for startup founders that's informed by my experience with Wingify and many failed attempts before it. It's finally done, so thought of launching it on the same forum where it all started for me :) There are a total of 68 mental models covering various aspects of building a startup: - Choosing markets - Building products - Ecosystems and partners - Thinking about Moats - Approaching marketing - B2B v/s B2C - Hiring & culture Unlike other books, I'm not sharing my story and neither take a very prescriptive approach. Rather, I use mental models to shine light and provide a tractable way of looking at problems an entrepreneur encounters during her startup. I understand that entrepreneurship cannot be systemized, but I'm hoping some of the mental models I share help in clearer thinking and faster decisions. Would love your feedback on the book: https://bit.ly/45wriUz... If you find it useful, please share it with others in your network. https://bit.ly/3BVbWLK May 24, 2023 at 07:27AM

Show HN: I made Hazumi, a modern HN reader for iOS https://bit.ly/3BPqP2f

Show HN: I made Hazumi, a modern HN reader for iOS Hello HN, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my first app, Hazumi, a Hacker News reader, available for free on iOS! I’ve been lurking on HN for around 2 years while working on this project seeing people post amazing HN reader apps of their own. I’ve always figured Hazumi wasn’t good enough yet to post here but if I wait around until I’m ready, I’ll probably never share so here goes… Hazumi is a modern Hacker News app for your pocket with some intentional limitations. Stories are displayed on a simple colourful card, with images, that condenses all the information you need at a glance. Out of the box you get accessibility features for system settings like light/dark mode and text size. Others are controlled in app for opening stories in a Web View vs externally via Safari, defaulting to Reader Mode and reducing animation bounciness. You can browse top, new and best sections, limited to 30 stories each, which refresh every hour on the server. I’m not a fan of infinite scrolling or spending a lot of time reading news. I just want to get in and get out while keeping up on the latest. Other notable features: - Basic search - Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen - Apple Watch app - Warns you of non-HTTPS links There are a few “PRO” features that require a subscription ($/€1.99 monthly): - AI summaries of comments on stories that have at least 30 root level comments - In app newsletter (yesterday’s top 10 stories) - Bookmarking with iCloud support - Themes (change the colour of the cards) - Supporting indie developers and keeping the lights on for Hazumi Working on: - Better comments/tappable links - Enhancing search - More themes Being the first version, it's very early days for Hazumi and there are bugs that I’m working on fixing. I'm eager to improve it and shape its future based on your input. I welcome any feedback you may have, whether it's about existing features or ideas for new ones. Your thoughts will be instrumental in shaping Hazumi, making it an even more useful tool for tech news enthusiasts. Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts. P.S. Shout out to MB and MC for your awesome feedback during the TestFlight beta! https://apple.co/3BQLfIg May 22, 2023 at 03:31PM

Show HN: Blotter – An interactive, never ending music video One day I was listening to a playlist and wished there could be some cool visuals to go along with it. Blotter is a proof of concept I hacked together that does a bit of audio recognition combined with a few generative AI models (both text and img) to create visuals that are relevant to the song. The video stream is generated in real time at 24fps - you can try it yourself by requesting visuals in the Twitch chat using the "!v" command! Right now it's mostly a fun hack project, but I am tinkering with new model architectures for higher fidelity video as well as an interactive tool so people can make videos with their own audio files. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions, thanks! https://bit.ly/3MtgI8n May 22, 2023 at 11:21PM

Show HN: Horizon – Programmatic Prompt Generation and LLM Configurations https://bit.ly/3WqObof

Show HN: Horizon – Programmatic Prompt Generation and LLM Configurations Hi HN. I heard you like dev tools and AI, so we wanted to share our project that we’ve been working on. We’re working on Horizon [1] - a higher level abstraction for LLMs so that developers can spend less time trying to grapple with LLMs to make them work and more time with users. This is the starting feature set which takes an auto-ML approach to identify the optimal LLM model, hyperparameters, and prompt - instead of just giving you the tooling to figure it out yourself. You can read more about it in our documentations. Our view is that as LLMs become increasingly commoditized and prompts become easier to develop all the while fine-tuning is not realistic for the many organization out there - the configuration, optimization, and management will become much more difficult at-scale (consist with Andrej’s recent post [3]). The idea came as we were trying to build LLM apps (think sales outreach, ppt generation, support, etc. etc.) last fall and realized with this tool we could easily build many of the applications with Horizon in minutes versus that days it took us before. Let us know what you think! [1] https://bit.ly/45oesYm [2] https://bit.ly/3WrCXjF [3] https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1655994367033884672?s=20 https://bit.ly/45oesYm May 22, 2023 at 02:46AM

Show HN: Swap.js – a JavaScript micro-framework (HTML fragments over the wire) https://bit.ly/3Orr1fK

Show HN: Swap.js – a JavaScript micro-framework (HTML fragments over the wire) Hi HN! I created this lib in the need of a simple and tiny framework to easily do AJAX-style navigation / replacement of fragments in the page, in a web application. For people who don't want to use client-side-rendering and complex frameworks à la React, there are nowadays a few "HTML-over-the-wire" libraries, like HTMX, Unpoly or this super-tiny one Swap.js :) One other key thing is that no external tool is needed: no bundler, no webpack, no TypeScript compiler, no minification needed. Just write HTML, JS (+ your preferred server-side language: PHP, Python, etc.) and it works. The framework makes use of fetch (of course) but also MutationObserver API to be able to launch actions when parts of the DOM change. Let me know what you think! https://bit.ly/3Os1DX9 May 18, 2023 at 07:04PM

Show HN: Jesth – Next-level human-readable data serialization format https://bit.ly/439eZvC

Show HN: Jesth – Next-level human-readable data serialization format Hi HN ! I'm Alex, a tech enthusiast. I'm excited to show you Jesth, a next-level human-readable data serialization format. This project started out as a markup language for writing the docstrings of functions that would ultimately be consumed by a documentation generator. Basically the idea was to split a docstring into sections like Description and Parameters. Each section would consist of a header in square brackets and a body (lines of text between two headers). Here's what a docstring for a sum function would look like: This function takes in two integers a and b and returns their sum. [parameters] - a: First integer - b: Second integer [return] Sum of a and b The Description section in the example above is actually an anonymous section, i.e., a section with an empty header. Meanwhile, I was thinking of a way to automate part of my dev workflow by storing in a file commands grouped into tasks such as project creation, build, testing, release, et cetera. Similarly with the markup language for my documentation generator, I would use square brackets to define the tasks. Thus, a task would consist of a header and a body which would be a list of commands to be executed sequentially. I built this project and named it Backstage. Here is a hypothetical backstage.tasks file: [release] & test & generate_doc & git_stuff & build # upload to PyPI $ twine upload --skip-existing dist/* [git_stuff] $ git add . $ git commit -m {message} $ git push origin master The example above is illustrative only and would not work. It contains 2 sections "release" and "git_stuff". Running the "release" task from the command line is equivalent to sequentially executing the commands in the "release" section. The documentation generator and the scripting language, despite the obvious similarity in their formats, did not share any parsing code. So, to stop repeating myself, I created a file format and its library named Jesth which stands for "Just Extract Sections Then Hack". The library acts as an incomplete INI file parser that only hands the programmer the sections (as headers and their associated bodies which are lists of strings). No further interpretation of the data is done by the parser, allowing the programmer to unleash their creativity through useful hacks. In its latest iteration, Jesth has matured and also includes a proper and extensively tested hack to convert a compatible section into a dictionary data structure, making Jesth my de facto preferred format for config files. I find Jesth more readable than TOML, YAML, and JSON. Here, encoding a dictionary data structure in its own section with another section containing a prompt for ChatGPT: [prompt] I want you to act as a detective story writer. I will provide you with two dictionary data structures representing the profiles of two people. Your goal is to write a thrilling neo-noir story. My first request is: "guess who the killer and victim is from the profiles, then build a story that includes every detail of the profiles". [profile] # This section can be converted into a dictionary data structure name = 'Jane Doe' birthday = 2000-12-23Z10:17:37Z photo_jpg = (bin) VGhpcyBpcyBub3QgYSBwaG90by4uLiBCdXQgdGhhbmsgeW91 IGZvciB5b3VyIGludGVsbGVjdHVhbCBjdXJpb3NpdHkgOyk= --- books = (dict) romance = (list) 'Happy Place' 'Romantic Comedy' sci-fi = (list) 'Dune' 'Neuromancer' epitaph = (text) According to the law of conservation of energy, no a bit of you is gone; you are just less orderly. --- [profile] name = 'John Doe' birthday = null books = (list) 'American Predator' 'Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit' You can learn more by reading the project's README and playing with the demo.

Show HN: No-code AI-powered API endpoints Backengine is a tool that evolved from an experiment at my startup for which we wanted to pass structured data to an LLM completion API and receive structured data back. We thought we'd release it as a standalone tool for others who might also find it useful. Backengine lets you create hosted API endpoints for which the endpoint logic is described in natural language as an LLM prompt. The endpoints accept structured requests and return structured responses. Why is this useful? Hosted - no additional infrastructure to maintain. Prompt engineering workspace - you can edit, test and tweak endpoint prompts without touching any code. Instant deployment - created endpoints should be immediately available, and changes to your endpoints are deployed in one click. This is a first and very early release - we'd love for HN to try out Backengine and hear what you think! There's a playground where you can try it out - we're very interested to hear what use-cases people come up with. https://bit.ly/42OPAYf May 17, 2023 at 02:25PM

Show HN: Capillaries: Distributed data processing with Go and Cassandra https://bit.ly/3Id2RBN

Show HN: Capillaries: Distributed data processing with Go and Cassandra I started thinking about this approach after working on a large-scale project for a major financial company where our group developed a distributed in-house data processing solution. On a regular basis, it ingested a few gigabytes of financial data and, within a tight SLA time limit, produced a lot of enriched/aggregated/validated data for a number of customers. Sometimes, source data had errors, so operators with domain knowledge had to verify data validity at some checkpoints, immediately make corrections, and re-run parts of the workflow manually. The solution involved complex web service orchestration, custom database and was very demanding on the infrastructure availability. Capillaries is a built from scratch, open-source Go solution that does just that: ingests data and applies user-defined transforms - Go one-liner expressions, Python formulas, joins, aggregations, denormalization - using Cassandra for intermediate data storage and RabbitMQ for task scheduling. End users just have to provide: - source data in CSV files; - Capillaries script (JSON file) that defines the workflow and the transforms; - Python code that performs complex calculations (only if needed). The whole data processing pipeline can be split into separate runs that can be started independently and re-run by the user if needed. The goal is to build a platform that is tolerant to database and processing node failures, and allows users to focus on data transform logic and data quality control. “Getting started” Docker-based demo calculates ARK funds performance, using EOD holdings and transactions data acquired from public sources. There are also integration tests that use non-financial data. There is a test deploy tool that uses Openstack API for provisioning in the cloud. https://bit.ly/42Xd8d1 May 16, 2023 at 01:13AM

Show HN: Tack, a fast lightweight scripting language for games and embedding https://bit.ly/3MpSxc1

Show HN: Tack, a fast lightweight scripting language for games and embedding https://bit.ly/3W4IIU6 Hi HN! Tack is a scripting language I've been working on sporadically for the past year or so, and intensely for the past few weeks. It originated out of a desire for something that was like Lua, but with a more familiar syntax, and without some of the other surprises in Lua such as the 1-indexed tables. It's also been a great learning project, and a very satisfying challenge! While the current version is early beta at best, I hope to continue working on it and maybe see some adoption. Despite the relative lack of optimization, I'm very pleased with the performance so far - although I haven't done a huge amount of benchmarking, it seems to be significantly faster than the stock Lua 5.4 interpreter for the quicksort test, and the btrees test (copied from the Computer Language Benchmarks Game). The language is designed for embedding in C++ programs, and is written in C++ more or less from scratch including the handwritten recursive descent parser, and a register-based compiler/interpreter. The only dependency other than the standard library is my C++ adaptation of the khash library used for the object type - a from-scratch hashmap seemed not worth the trouble. Quick code example - more examples in the repo! fn quicksort(arr) { const n = #arr if n <= 1 { return arr } " find the midpoint " let l = min(arr) let r = max(arr) if r == l { return arr } const mid = (l + r) / 2 " split array into upper and lower " const upper = filter(arr, fn(x) { return x < mid }) const lower = filter(arr, fn(x) { return x >= mid }) " recursively sort the upper and lower sub-arrays and join the result" return quicksort(lower) + quicksort(upper) } let A = [] for i in 0, 1000000 { A << random() } let before = clock() let B = quicksort(A) let after = clock() print("Time taken: ", after - before, "seconds") Building requires just cmake and a C++20 compiler - tested with MSVC 2022, g++11 on WSL and Clang 15 on M1 https://craftinginterpreters.com was a great help with implementing closures, as I had gone down a blind alley with my first approach for locating the closed-over variables. However I have taken a slightly different approach towards boxing. As I do intend to use this for some small games myself going forward, there is a standard library already, and plans to expand it. I also intend to release a GLFW-based mini game framework along with precompiled binaries, so hobbyists (and younger relatives!) may use it without needing a full compiler toolchain. I would love if anyone is interested enough to try it out! James https://github.com/PlumeCat/tack May 14, 2023 at 06:39PM

Show HN: WhyBot, making GPT-4 question itself Hi HN — we’re John and Vish! We built WhyBot, a tool to help you deeply explore a question or topic. You ask a question, and WhyBot responds by building an ever-expanding knowledge graph. It does this by recursively generating answers and follow-up questions. You can change its persona to change the flavor of the generations (try toddler mode!). We originally built this for the AngelList Agent Hackathon ( https://twitter.com/AqeelMeetsWorld/status/16502799744050421... ) and got a lot of interest from folks asking to play around with it. So we thought it’d be fun to brush it up and release it as a web app! It’s a work in progress and we plan on adding more features, such as saving, sharing, focusing on one branch and potentially executing code. We hope you enjoy playing around with it and would love to hear any of your feedback or thoughts. https://bit.ly/3O3iBeg May 14, 2023 at 05:17AM

Show HN: Deterministic objective Bayesian inference for spatial models [pdf] https://bit.ly/3nOYyp5

Show HN: Deterministic objective Bayesian inference for spatial models [pdf] To give some context, objective Bayesian inference refers to Bayesian analysis (i.e. integrating over the parameter space) using a prior that is design to represent "minimal information" (see [1], [2], and [3] for an overview). Particularly in cases where a model's likelihood function is not strongly peaked about a point, objective Bayesian inference can give better results than methods based off of point estimates like Maximum Likelihood [4]. Reference priors provides a general approach to construct so-called noninformative priors that are suitable for Objective Bayesian analysis ([5], [6]). The approach takes a practical viewpoint of noninformative priors and looks to build priors that are both tractable and provide good performance on frequentist coverage simulations. See Section 2 for a description of how the process and frequentist simulations work and [7] for examples with some basic models (e.g. why 1/σ^2 is the noninformative prior for the variance of normally distributed data with known mean). [8] was the first to develop reference priors for Gaussian processes models, and [9] extended the work to handle Gaussian Processes with noise (or nugget effects). The project I'm working on provides software and algorithms to do deterministic inference using the prior from [9]. Typically, such inference has been done using MCMC sampling algorithms; but my belief is that deterministic algorithms can give results that are more consistent, less sensitive to parameter tweaking, and more efficient, at the expense of some engineering cost and loss of generality. For an example of how the algorithms work on a real-world data set of zinc measurements in a flood plain along the Meuse river [10], see https://bit.ly/41qZ3n2...

Show HN: Marketing software for solopreneurs who don't like marketing https://bit.ly/42q8THg

Show HN: Marketing software for solopreneurs who don't like marketing Hey folks, I made 2Quiet2Market for busy solopreneurs who are "too quiet to market" what they build. I've been building this since September 2022 because I am a software dev who likes to talk factually but doesn't enjoy to "pound the drum" and "toot the horn" to market my stuff. On the other hand, if I don't market my stuff, people won't know about it and won't buy it. Bummer. So what did I do to make life better for quiet or factual people like me who like to build stuff and want to make money with it? I made a web-based app that helps you create your own habit for marketing. When people have a habit, they are more likely to do what needs to be done (marketing in this case). The free plan of my SaaS contains these tools: * Positioning blackboard * Story Composer * Experiment Designer Positioning blackboards provide you with Lego-like building blocks to make your product look awesome and desirable. They clarify your marketing until you reach a story you want to tell that will make your customer buy. Story Composer helps you create those stories step-by-step, and Experiment Designer lets you plan which stories to tell on which marketing channels, with a recipe on how to execute each marketing experiment. Already with the Free plan, you can create your specific marketing playbook and turn it into a habit. The Free plan allows you to have 1 project with 2 blackboards, and an "invite" feature to have a friend look at your stuff. There are two paid plans as well: - the Pro plan offers unlimited projects and blackboards, as well as an integration with the Todoist.com task management system. It automatically turns experiments into to-dos to get them done. And: The Pro plan also allows you to edit other people's stuff if they invite you to do so. - the Advanced plan adds GPT to spice up the factual marketing copy from Story Composer, in order to make it more engaging for your audience. Have fun, please try it out, and tell me whether you can use it to market your own stuff to the world. It comes with interactive demos on its dashboard, and with comprehensive docs at https://bit.ly/3nXxh3P Cheers, Matthias https://bit.ly/3nXItxk May 10, 2023 at 05:40PM

We are building perhaps the simplest to create surveys in the world(let me know if I'm wrong). Currently, you can get super powerful(NPS, CSAT, PMF etc..) surveys just by filling out 1 text field with the name of the subject. We are leveraging GPT to conduct the surveys and analyse them. And so far it's doing an unbelievable job, but don't take my word for it - check it out! We are looking for pilot users and problems that we can help to solve!

Show HN: Build progressively enhanced reactive HTML apps using Go and Alpine.js https://bit.ly/3Md1fdn

Show HN: Build progressively enhanced reactive HTML apps using Go and Alpine.js Fir leverages Golang’s standard library html/template package and a bit of alpinejs to allow building reactive UIs. You start with plain old html and use alpinejs to enhance it to bring no-page-reload interactivity to web apps. The Fir toolkit is designed for Go developers with moderate html/css & js skills who want to progressively build reactive web apps without mastering complex web frameworks. It includes a Go library and an Alpine.js plugin. How it works ? On receiving user-interactions the fir server re-renders html templates and sends it over the wire where the fir client library selectively updates the changed areas. When a user event is received by a Fir route, an array of html templates are rendered on the server and returned as an array of DOM events to the browser. The DOM events are consumed by the alpinejs plugin and dispatched within the DOM where listeners attached to elements can use the event to update the DOM.

Show HN: Spiti – Private video library for high-performing teams https://bit.ly/3VLchtH

Show HN: Spiti – Private video library for high-performing teams Hi HN I’m Therese, one of the founders of Spiti. My co-founder, Sai, and I are thrilled to launch Spiti to the HN community! We’ve been working on a better way for teams to organize, access, share, and collaborate on internal videos. Recently, we built the ability to record, too. It is built specifically to enhance remote and hybrid teams’ access to internal knowledge and context lost in historical conversations. ------- *tl;dr backstory:* We’ve worked in start-ups and larger companies. In our previous stints, searching for stuff took up a lot of time. Tooling solved for better access and collaboration in most cases, except videos. Recorded meetings, webinars, product demos, explainer videos, customer conversations, etc. were always scattered around in various folders on the cloud, links in emails, and Slack. But those videos are important, and easy access would save the team and us at least a few hours every week. ---------- We designed and built Spiti Team Video Library to address these challenges head-on and provide teams with their own private video library or, as we describe it — an internal YouTube for your team. One of the things we crafted carefully is its intuitive interface, designed to ensure a delightful viewing experience for otherwise boring team videos.

Show HN: LLM, a Rust Crate/CLI for CPU Inference of LLMs (LLaMA, GPT-NeoX, etc.) https://bit.ly/41gObYN

Show HN: LLM, a Rust Crate/CLI for CPU Inference of LLMs (LLaMA, GPT-NeoX, etc.) G'day, HN! I'm one of the maintainers of `llm`. I've been working alongside a trusty group of contributors to bring this project to life, and we're now at a point where we're ready to share it with the world. Large language models (LLMs) are taking the computing world by storm due to their emergent abilities that allow them to perform a wide variety of tasks, including translation, summarization, code generation, and even some degree of reasoning. However, the ecosystem around LLMs is still in its infancy, and it can be difficult to get started with these models. `llm` is a one-stop shop for running inference on large language models (of the kind that power ChatGPT and more); we provide a CLI and a Rust crate for running inference on these models, all entirely open-source. The crate can be embedded in your own projects, allowing you to easily integrate LLMs into your own applications. We hope that `llm` can help to alleviate some of the pain points that users face when working with LLMs. Our goal is to build a robust solution for inferencing on LLMs that users can rely on for their projects, so that we can provide a moment of peace in the chaos of the LLM ecosystem. At present, we are powered by `ggml` (similar to `llama.cpp`), but we intend to add additional backends in the near-future. This means that we currently only support CPU inference, but we have several ideas in mind for how to add GPU support, as well as other accelerators. We're looking for feedback on the project, and we'd love to hear from you! If you're interested in contributing, please reach out to us on our Discord ( https://bit.ly/3pqaluA ), or post an issue on our GitHub ( https://bit.ly/44CwzcO ). https://bit.ly/3ptF6io May 9, 2023 at 05:37PM

Show HN: Cptn.io – open-source integration platform https://bit.ly/3B6FuWu

Show HN: Cptn.io – open-source integration platform Hi, I am Krishna Thota. I am building an open source integration and data platform( https://bit.ly/3B6FwxA ). The product is MIT licensed and the repo is at https://bit.ly/3M6eHQd . I have started on my startup journey an year ago and launched a monitoring platform called DevRaven. Unfortunately the product did not takeoff as expected. That story is for another day. But during the course of building the product, I have built several integrations leveraging MQs and Cloud Functions. While building and deploying Cloud Functions for happy paths is easy, I had to monitor logs for failures, build retry mechanisms or manually process failed events, keep instances running to prevent cold start timeouts. It can also get expensive with charges for MQs, server time for running cloud functions etc and costs can be unpredictable. I thought of building a platform where I can build integrations quickly, have the ability to look at incoming/outgoing events, look at logs, retry any failed events etc. And finally, predictable costs for running the infrastructure. cptn.io provides all these capabilities and more. You can build pipelines to integrate with any cloud services, send data from your backend to data warehouses, listen to web hook events etc. The platform can be integrated into any stack by sending events to HTTP end points. Instead of trying to build a business first or launch an open source product under restrictive licenses, the platform will be available under MIT license so any user or customer can use it. There is no ee folder or complex dual licensing and I am also committing to releasing SSO under MIT. The plan is to offer a managed service in the cloud at a later time, accept sponsors for prioritizing features for enterprise customers and charge for enterprise support. It should take less than 5 minutes to get the platform running on your machine. Welcome any feedback, feature requests, PRs and bug reports. https://bit.ly/3B6FwxA May 8, 2023 at 06:45PM

Show HN: Automatic Domain Verification https://bit.ly/3LFydSt

Show HN: Automatic Domain Verification The Domain Verification protocol stores a DNS TXT record at a DNS name derived from a hashed "verifiable identifier" (email, telephone, DID), enabling anyone that can prove control over the verifiable identifier to prove authority for the domain name, whilst preserving the privacy of the authorised party. Once setup, the record enables automatic domain verification for any service provider. This record could be automatically setup by domain registrars upon domain registration (with registrant opt-in) creating a fast lane for verification with service providers many new small businesses use (eg Google Ads, Facebook, Office365, Dropbox, etc). ===== Quick sidebar: This was originally submitted to HN under the title "Show HN: Make domain verification as easy as verifying an email or phone number" 3 days ago [1]. It was doing really well (#3 on front page) then totally disappeared from front page and went to bottom of page 1 of Show HN. After an email exchange with dang (incredibly helpful as always), he explained that it got flagged with the "overheated discussion detector" and it turned out I caused this by diligently responding to every comment as fast as my fingers would type because I wanted to keep engagement going. Helpfully dang took the flag off it about 12 hours later after our email exchange, but understandably the momentum was lost. So I feel like it kinda got killed, just as it was picking up pace and as the US west coast was waking up. So I am humbly reposting it with a modified description based on the comments of the last post. ===== This is a project I've been working on for a little while and I'm interested in your feedback and point of view. Many of us would have verified a domain name by pasting a string into a DNS TXT record. These methods are currently being discussed and standardised at the IETF [2]. Let's Encrypt's DNS-01 method [3] is probably considered the state of the art. The differences between DNS-01 and Domain Verification protocol are: - DNS-01 requires a new TXT record for each service provider. With Domain Verification Protocol, multiple service providers can use the same record. - Instructions to setup a DNS-01 TXT record are instigated by the service provider, whereas a Domain Verification Protocol record can be setup independently by a user or a domain registrar. They could even pre-populated by a registrar upon domain registration (with registrant opt-in) - There’s no concept of permissions in DNS-01, the act of creating the record gives the user full access for the domain with the service provider. With Domain Verification protocol multiple records can be setup, limited permissions could be setup for different third parties. For example give a marketing agency authentication to claim the domain on social media but nowhere else. I'm still working on licensing but creating these records will always be free. I hope to find service providers that see significant upside in reducing friction for user onboarding that are willing to pay to license it. Worked example: Let's say you want to authenticate the user with the email user@example.com with the domain dvexample.com, these are the steps: a. HASH(user@example.com) -> 4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg b. Store Domain Verification record at: 4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg._dv.dvexample.com c. TXT record determines permissions and time limit: @dv=1;d=Example user email;e=2025-01-01;s=[seo;email];h=4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg Thanks for taking a look, Elliott 1. https://bit.ly/41nLwgh 2. https://bit.ly/3HPPWFC... 3. https://bit.ly/3nHzOPE https://bit.ly/3nyKdgB May 8, 2023 at 06:06PM

Show HN: Play SineRider, a math puzzle game built by teenagers at Hack Club Messing with your TI-84 graphing calculator is a rite of passage for every teenager who has ever been bored in a math class. In 2013 I was that teenager, and it gave me an idea for a tiny game about sledding on graphs. This project grew into my white whale, and I spent my twenties trying and failing to finish it alone. I shelved the game when I started working for Hack Club in 2018—until last May, when a few community members took it off the shelf. The project took on a life of its own, and turned into a year of nights and weekends from a global team of 20+ teens in 8+ countries. Today SineRider enters public beta! SineRider is literally an infinite universe of function composition puzzles, each with infinite solutions, that range from welcoming for 9th graders to difficult for even the most serious matlab user. And every day we tweet out a fresh one to be solved with your morning coffee. We hope you enjoy playing SineRider as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. And we’re not done! Mobile support, polar coordinates, and a level editor are all on the roadmap. SineRider is a living project, to be continuously built and maintained as free OSS by the Hack Club community: https://bit.ly/42dM61j The team that built the game will try to be in the comments today between high school classes and AP tests. —chris walker, creative director Watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35nDYoIwiA8 Play now: https://bit.ly/3K8tXJL https://bit.ly/42dM61j May 8, 2023 at 02:14PM

Show HN: Git Hooting https://bit.ly/42a1RGh

Show HN: Git Hooting 00's called, they want their RSS feeds back. I was looking at my growing Github gist collection when a sudden urge to blog and make a name for myself "by not programming" struck. Part way into implementing my oh so special static website generator it occurred to me that, quite frankly, Github gists is a pretty decent publishing platform. I mean, it gives you reasonably extended markdown with previews, heck I could even write in org-mode, has comments, follower - followee relationship, extended search with filters, check out locally and push your edits. Did someone say "edit button"? Thus the idea behind https://bit.ly/3pjJAHX was born: collect gists into RSS feeds and force everyone, kicking and screaming, into the good old days when Google Reader was king. Well, it's a bit more than that now. But basically, you create a gist or grab an old one, name its main file `hoot.md` or `hoot.org` if org-mode is your poison, make it public and voila. These "hoots" make it into your RSS feed and will get permalinks with social graph metatags, so you get nice previews when you share them on Twitter and such. To take it for a spin: - pick a subdomain e.g. foo.git.ht, - navigate you browser there, - login with Github. I still consider it alpha, but it should work. Report any issues as you would normally on Github https://bit.ly/3HMeNdc . Thank you https://bit.ly/3pjJAHX May 7, 2023 at 01:29AM

Show HN: WebGPU Rotating Cube https://bit.ly/3M1rweL

Show HN: WebGPU Rotating Cube This is a small "hello world" type WebGPU demo that fits in a single page (no NPM dependencies or build steps). The last time I touched anything graphics-related was the OpenGL 1.x era, and I've been hoping WebGPU would be a good opportunity to come up to speed with modern standard GPU programming. However, the WebGPU tutorials I found were often small fragments of code aimed at people already familiar with DX12 or Metal, and the rest involved complex NPM build steps or "clone my repo to get started" setup scripts. This page is just a plain HTML+JS file. You can edit the shaders live from the textboxes, or download it to make more involved edits. I hope it feels something like what learning JS used to be like in the days of MySpace and Geocities (in a good way). https://bit.ly/429d5uB May 6, 2023 at 02:46PM

Show HN: Ethereum address reviews, similar to Yelp https://bit.ly/3nATHb2

Show HN: Ethereum address reviews, similar to Yelp Hi HN, Excuse me if the formatting sucks, this is a first time post. I want to introduce to you vrfd.info. A place where you can openly view and influence the reputation of any Ethereum address. Think of it as Yelp but for Eth. Addresses are classified as either verified or flagged on-chain through soulbound NFTs. A type of NFT that has no trade value as it cannot be sold. Once minted, it is stuck to the given address. The metadata of the NFT contains either information to verify the address with, this could be a social account for example. Or in the case of flagged addresses, the metadata contains proof of wrong-doing. Users can search the classification status of any address on the web app. Additionally, users can apply to either verify or report an address, provided proof. In the case of reports, users stand a chance to be rewarded. Finally, users can up or down vote other addresses. I made this tool after suffering one to many scam without having an open source library where addresses can be reported or their credentials verified. It's still a bit clunky, but the core concept works fully integrated on the Testnet. I'm shipping a big update this week to make it more responsive. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Please give me any feedback as I am looking to improve everywhere I can. https://bit.ly/3HJnGEy May 5, 2023 at 06:30PM

Show HN: Make domain verification as easy as verifying an email or phone number https://bit.ly/41nLwgh

Show HN: Make domain verification as easy as verifying an email or phone number Hi HN, This is a project [1] I've been working on for a little while and I'm interested in your feedback and point of view. Many of us would have verified a domain name by pasting a string into a DNS TXT record. Some providers ask us to store this DNS TXT record at a domain using a DNS label like "_provider" e.g. _provider.yourdomain.com, and some providers ask that you do it at the zone apex (God help us [2]). The Domain Verification protocol stores a DNS TXT record at a DNS name derived from a hashed "verifiable identifier" (think email, telephone, DID), enabling anyone that can prove control over the verifiable identifier to prove authority for the domain name. For example, the domain verification record giving the email address user@example.com authority over the domain dvexample.com can be seen with this terminal command: dig 4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg._dv.dvexample.com TXT The record can specify what type of services the authorised party is allowed to use (e.g. SEO, Storage, Advertising) or specify an exact provider (ads.google.com), you can also specify an expiry date. The benefits of this approach are: - Domain owners can grant time-limited, granular permissions for third parties to verify a domain - Every service provider could use the same verification record - Once a domain owner creates a verification record by following instructions from one service provider, that same record could be used by other service providers - Domain registrars could set these records up on behalf of users, perhaps even upon domain registration (with registrant opt-in). This would provide domain registrants with a fast lane for signing up to services like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Dropbox, whatever I'm still working on licensing but creating these records will always be free. I hope to find service providers that see significant upside in reducing friction for user onboarding that are willing to pay to license it. Worked example: Let's say you want to authenticate the user with the email user@example.com with the domain dvexample.com, these are the steps: 1. HASH(user@example.com) -> 4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg 2. Store Domain Verification record at: 4i7ozur385y5nsqoo0mg0mxv6t9333s2rarxrtvlpag1gsk8pg._dv.dvexample.com 3.

Show HN: Hypertune – Visual, functional, statically-typed configuration language https://bit.ly/42rJXyB

Show HN: Hypertune – Visual, functional, statically-typed configuration language Hey HN! I'm Miraan, the founder at Hypertune, and I'm excited to be posting this on HN. Hypertune lets you make your code configurable to let teammates like PMs and marketers quickly change feature flags, in-app copy, pricing plans, etc. It's like a CMS but instead of only letting you set static content, you can insert arbitrary logic from the UI, including A/B tests and ML "loops". I previously built a landing page optimization tool that let marketers define variants of their headline, CTA, cover image, etc, then used a genetic algorithm to find the best combination of them. They used my Chrome extension to define changes on DOM elements based on their unique CSS selector. But this broke when the underlying page changed and didn't work with sites that used CSS modules. Developers hated it. I took a step back. The problem I was trying to solve was making the page configurable by marketers in a way that developers liked. I decided to solve it from first principles and this led to Hypertune. Here's how it works. You define a strongly typed configuration schema in GraphQL, e.g. type Query { page(language: Language!, deviceType: DeviceType!): Page! } type Page { headline: String! imageUrl: String! showPromotion: Boolean! benefits: [String!]! } enum Language { English, French, Spanish } enum DeviceType { Desktop, Mobile, Tablet } Then marketers can configure these fields from the UI using our visual, functional, statically-typed language. The language UI is type-directed so we only show expression options that satisfy the required type of the hole in the logic tree. So for the "headline" field, you can insert a String expression or an If / Else expression that returns a String. If you insert the latter, more holes appear. This means marketers don't need to know any syntax and can't get into invalid states. They can use arguments you define in the schema like "language" and "deviceType", and drop A/B tests and contextual multi-armed bandits anywhere in their logic. We overlay live counts on the logic tree UI so they can see how often different branches are called. You get the config via our SDK which fetches your logic tree once on initialization (from our CDN) then evaluates it locally so you can get flags or content with different arguments (e.g. for different users) immediately with no network latency. So you can use the SDK on your backend without adding extra latency to every request, or on the frontend without blocking renders. The SDK includes a command line tool that auto-generates code for end-to-end type-safety based on your schema. You can also query your config via the GraphQL API. If you use the SDK, you can also embed a build-time snapshot of your logic tree in your app bundle. The SDK initializes from this instantly then fetches the latest logic from the server. So it'll still work in the unlikely event the CDN is down. And on the frontend, you can evaluate flags, content, A/B tests, personalization logic, etc, instantly on page load without any network latency, which makes it compatible with static Jamstack sites. I started building this for landing pages but realized it could be used for configuring feature flags, in-app content, translations, onboarding flows, permissions, rules, limits, magic numbers, pricing plans, backend services, cron jobs, etc, as it's all just "code configuration". This configuration is usually hardcoded, sprawled across json or yaml files, or in separate platforms for feature flags, content management, A/B testing, pricing plans, etc. So if a PM wants to A/B test new onboarding content, they need a developer to write glue code that stitches their A/B testing tool with their CMS for that specific test, then wait for a code deployment. And at that point, it may not be worth the effort. The general problem with having separate platforms is that all this configuration naturally overlaps. Feature flags and content management overlap with A/B testing and analytics. Pricing plans overlap with feature flags. Keeping them separate leads to inflexibility and duplication and requires hacky glue code, which defeats the purpose of configuration. I think the solution is a flexible, type-safe code configuration platform with a strongly typed schema, type-safe SDKs and APIs, and a visual, functional, statically-typed language with analytics, A/B testing and ML built in. I think this solves the problem with having separate platforms, but also results in a better solution for individual use cases and makes new use cases possible. For example, compared specifically to other feature flag platforms, you get auto-generated type-safe code to catch flag typos and errors at compile-time (instead of run-time), code completion and "find all references" in your IDE (no figuring out if a flag is in kebab-case or camelCase), type-safe enum flags you can exhaustively switch on, type-safe object and list flags, and a type-safe logic UI. You pass context arguments like userId, email, etc, in a type-safe way too with compiler errors if you miss or misspell one. To clean up a flag, you remove it from your query, re-run code generation and fix all the type errors to remove all references. The full programming language under the hood means there are no limits on your flag logic (you're not locked into basic disjunctive normal form). You can embed a build-time snapshot of your flag logic in your app bundle for guaranteed, instant initialization with no network latency (and keep this up to date with a commit webhook). And all your flags are versioned together in a single Git history for instant rollbacks to known good states (no figuring out what combination of flag changes caused an incident). There are other flexible configuration languages like Dhall (discussed here: https://bit.ly/3p6yWnX ), Jsonnet (discussed here: https://bit.ly/42o2DiK ) and Cue (discussed here: https://bit.ly/42oaf4P ). But they lack a UI for nontechnical users, can't be updated at run-time and don't support analytics, A/B testing and ML. I was actually going to start with a basic language that had primitives (Boolean, Int, String), a Comparison expression and an If / Else. Then users could implement the logic for each field in the schema separately. But then I realized they might want to share logic for a group of fields at the object level, e.g. instead of repeating "if (deviceType == Mobile) { primitiveA } else { primitiveB }" for each primitive field separately, they could have the logic once at the Page level: "if (deviceType == Mobile) { pageObjectA } else { pageObjectB }". I also needed to represent field arguments like "deviceType" in the language. And I realized users may want to define other variables to reuse bits of logic, like a specific "benefit" which appears in different variations of the "benefits" list. So at this point, it made sense to build a full, functional language with Object expressions (that have a type defined in the schema) and Function, Variable and Application expressions (to implement the lambda calculus). Then all the configuration can be represented as a single Object with the root Query type from the schema, e.g. Query { page: f({ deviceType }) => switch (true) { case (deviceType == DeviceType.Mobile) => Page { headline: f({}) => "Headline A" imageUrl: f({}) => "Image A" showPromotion: f({}) => true benefits: f({}) => ["Ben", "efits", "A"] } default => Page { headline: f({}) => "Headline B" imageUrl: f({}) => "Image B" showPromotion: f({}) => false benefits: f({}) => ["Ben", "efits", "B"] } } } So each schema field is implemented by a Function that takes a single Object parameter (a dictionary of field argument name => value). I needed to evaluate this logic tree given a GraphQL query that looks like: query { page(deviceType: Mobile) { headline showPromotion } } So I built an interpreter that recursively selects the queried parts of the logic tree, evaluating the Functions for each query field with the given arguments. It ignores fields that aren't in the query so the logic tree can grow large without affecting query performance. The interpreter is used by the SDK, to evaluate logic locally, and on our CDN edge server that hosts the GraphQL API. The response for the example above would be: { "__typename": "Query", "page": { "__typename": "Page", "headline": "Headline A", "showPromotion": true } } Developers were concerned about using the SDK on the frontend as it could leak sensitive configuration logic, like lists of user IDs, to the browser. To solve this, I modified the interpreter to support "partial evaluation". This is where it takes a GraphQL query that only provides some of the required field arguments and then partially evaluates the logic tree as much as possible. Any logic which can't be evaluated is left intact. The SDK can leverage this at initialization time by passing already known arguments (e.g. the user ID) in its initialization query so that sensitive logic (like lists of user IDs) are evaluated (and eliminated) on the server. The rest of the logic is evaluated locally by the SDK when client code calls its methods with the remaining arguments. This also minimizes the payload size sent to the client and means less logic needs to be evaluated locally, which improves both page load and render performance. The interpreter also keeps a count of expression evaluations as well as events for A/B tests and ML loops, which are flushed back to Hypertune in the background to overlay live analytics on the logic tree UI. It's been a challenge to build a simple UI given there's a full functional language under the hood. For example, I needed to build a way for users to convert any expression into a variable in one click. Under the hood, to make expression X a variable, we wrap the parent of X in a Function that takes a single parameter, then wrap that Function in an Application that passes X as an argument. Then we replace X in the Function body with a reference to the parameter. So we go from: if (X) { Y } else { Z } to ((paramX) => if (paramX) { Y } else { Z } )(X) So a variable is just an Application argument that can be referenced in the called Function's body. And once we have a variable, we can reference it in more than one place in the Function body. To undo this, users can "drop" a variable in one click which replaces all its references with a copy of its value. Converting X into a variable gets more tricky if the parent of X is a Function itself which defines parameters referenced inside of X. In this case, when we make X a variable, we lift it outside of this Function. But then it doesn't have access to the Function's parameters anymore. So we automatically convert X into a Function itself which takes the parameters it needs. Then we call this new Function where we originally had X, passing in the original parameters. There are more interesting details about how we lift variables to higher scopes in one click but that's for another post. Thanks for reading this far! I'm glad I got to share Hypertune with you. I'm curious about what use case appeals to you the most. Is it type-safe feature flags, in-app content management, A/B testing static Jamstack sites, managing permissions, pricing plans or something else? Please let me know any thoughts or questions! https://bit.ly/42uyxKD May 4, 2023 at 04:01PM
