Show HN: Code of War – Satirical book about moving up the IT corporate ladder https://bit.ly/3fZuV04

Show HN: Code of War – Satirical book about moving up the IT corporate ladder Hello dear HN crowd, I love when I stumble upon a developer war story in a random comment here on HN. I love it so much that I also wanted to share some of the stories I've collected over the years working in IT. I came up with the idea to present the stories in a somewhat unusual way, in the style of the malicious self-help book. The book gives you advice on how to succeed in IT, from the interview phase to the management, by acting like an immoral, unscrupulous person. The advice is based on experiences with some shady, weird people I met throughout my career. After every chapter, there's a short story about the person who was the chapter's inspiration. I've worked with those people, so everything is a first-hand experience! This was my first attempt at doing something like this, so go easy on me! :) One cool fact! I used entirely free and open-source software for the creation of this title. That's why I'll donate 10% of all the proceeds to my favorite free software projects! https://bit.ly/3T3p9JG October 12, 2022 at 05:46PM

Show HN: Cobalt – social media downloader with no bullshit https://bit.ly/3SNpgc1

Show HN: Cobalt – social media downloader with no bullshit Hey, HN! I made my own social media downloader because I got annoyed by others that either shove 50 ad banners down your throat, or require you to do some extra steps. The frontend page is light and all processing is done on the server, so it runs speedily on pretty much anything. It also has a bunch of download/ui customization options, but none of them are forced on you. My main goal was to make something that's open, easy to use, and not annoying to deal with. Please take a look at it and let me know what you think, I'm thirsty for feedback and opinions. You can also take a look at its source code and judge my coding abilities: https://bit.ly/3SWBX4h https://bit.ly/3VmKKyc October 12, 2022 at 05:33AM

Show HN: Open-Sourcing InboxSDK (YC S11) – Build Apps in Gmail https://bit.ly/3T8sVAS

Show HN: Open-Sourcing InboxSDK (YC S11) – Build Apps in Gmail Hi HN! We’re Aleem, Chris, Borys, Meichen and Zach from Streak (YC S11) and today we’re open sourcing our InboxSDK https://bit.ly/3g2jYLr , which makes it easy to build apps for Gmail. Over 1.8B users spend their days in Gmail! Having your app built into the Gmail workflow is a better user experience and gives you great user retention. InboxSDK gives you a high-level, declarative API to insert your UI into Gmail without having to directly manipulate the DOM yourself. End users install a browser extension to use your app. The SDK can add UI to multiple areas of Gmail. For example, adding a button is as simple as: composeView.addButton({ title: "My Nifty Button!", iconUrl: 'https://bit.ly/3EDPklP', onClick: function(event) { event.composeView.insertTextIntoBodyAtCursor('Hello World!'); }, }); InboxSDK enables you to add info to the sidebar on threads, add items in the left navigation tree, insert results into the search box, navigate to full page routes, add toolbar buttons to the compose window, add label indicators to thread list views and many more. You can see some examples in my comment posted below. Hubspot, Dropbox, Giphy, Clickup, Loom, Todoist, Clearbit and our own Streak have all built apps using the InboxSDK. The InboxSDK is open source dual-licensed under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses for maximum flexibility. Why use the InboxSDK over rolling it yourself? Several reasons: (1) it’s hard to do DOM manipulation in a performant way; (2) you need to handle all the different configurations of Gmail—there are a lot, and they change often: e.g. conversation view on/off, multiple inboxes, chat left/right, personal vs Workspace accounts; (3) You have to maintain compatibility with tons of other Gmail extensions so you don’t stomp over each other. On a technical level, the InboxSDK handles all the DOM watching and manipulation, XHR interception, multiple extension coordination, and exposes a high level API to developers. We make use of page-parser-tree, another package we open sourced that helps detect elements on the page performantly. The trickiest bit we handle is intercepting and modifying network requests that Gmail makes in order to support several of the APIs we expose. We’ve been building this SDK for years - it’s what powers Streak (https://bit.ly/3Tema0A), an 8 figure ARR SaaS business. We built the InboxSDK for ourselves because we wanted to separate our logic for wrangling Gmail from that of our app. Several years ago we let developers use a hosted version of our SDK. We didn’t want anyone else to go through the same pain to integrate deeply with Gmail. There were two unexpected benefits: It vastly increased the number of end users (20M+) using apps built on our SDK. This gave us significant leverage with Google. They are super supportive of the SDK and give us early access to several builds to ensure the SDK doesn’t break when they make updates to Gmail. We spent an ungodly amount of time maintaining compatibility with other Gmail extensions. Once the InboxSDK became a defacto standard, all the apps (currently >1000) that used it were instantly compatible (the InboxSDK operates under the model that there will be several extensions running at the same time and it elects a leader to route all modification through). Why open source it now? First, several companies were nervous about us hosting the SDK. We mainly did this so that every extension was running the same version of the SDK, but with the recent Chrome manifest V3 changes, remote code execution is no longer supported. Not hosting the SDK removed the primary reason why the project needed to be closed source. We do need to figure out a new way of keeping all developers relatively up to date on the latest version of the SDK, any ideas? We’d love feedback!

Show HN: My book for programmers called “Junior to Senior” was published today https://bit.ly/3Vici7K

Show HN: My book for programmers called “Junior to Senior” was published today After a four year journey, the book I wrote to help junior and mid-level programmers earn their first promotion was published today . The book is titled Junior to Senior: Career Advice for the Ambitious Programmer and is now available on Holloway’s website[0]. I truly believe that soft-skills are what makes the difference between a good programmer and a great one. I also believe that anyone can learn the soft-skills needed to accelerate their programming career. I wish I’d had better resources to learn these things in the early years of my career and I’m hoping this book will become a useful resource for the next generation of programmers to build successful careers. What this book covers: Choosing a career path: generalist vs. specialist What makes you a senior engineer? How to deal with feeling like an impostor How to build trust and work with your manager How to recover when you make a mistake, and what to do during incidents How to ask better questions How to read and understand unfamiliar code How to add value to your team and company How to identify and manage risk How to deliver better results How to communicate more effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences The importance of a healthy work-life balance How to ask for a promotion, and how to prepare for it I wrote this book because these soft-skills are rarely taught in coding bootcamps or computer science degrees, yet they are critical to every programmer’s career trajectory. Almost every programmer I know, including me, had to learn and develop these soft-skills on the job. It took hard work and a lot of trial and error to learn how to communicate my ideas effectively, navigate office politics, manage risk, and so many other things that programmers encounter in their jobs today.

Show HN: Bike – Rich Text and Innovation https://bit.ly/3EOUICL

Show HN: Bike – Rich Text and Innovation I have just added rich text to my outliner Bike. I think the implementation is worth taking a look at. Follow the link for details, a screencast (4 min), and download. (this is paid feature, but there is a no signup 7 day trial so you can play with it) In the past I have used plain text formats (like .taskpaper and .markdown) for my apps. I've grown sick of seeing and parsing syntax characters, so this time around I am taking a rich text approach. Rich text looks clean, but editing is problematic. You don't have precise control/visibility into the formatting. It's hidden behind the text. There are no formatting characters to guide you like you have in Markdown. This is particularly problematic when you want to insert text at formatting boundaries. Bike solves this with "typing affinity". This lets you precisely specify which formatting to use at those boundaries. It does this by adding an extra text caret state at these boundaries. This extra state allows you to point the text caret upstream or downstream to the formatting you want. Other interesting features include: • Link Buttons: Insert a dedicated "open" button after each link so there is no conflict between editing link text and opening the link. • Keyboard Centric Formatting Popover: Remember a single keyboard shortcut and have full keyboard access to formatting commands. No mouse needed. • Visible Typing Attributes: Show hidden typing attribute state (when it cannot be visually determined by looking at surrounding text) as part of the text caret. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I'm happy to answer questions and would love to hear your thoughts on ways to improve rich text editing further. https://bit.ly/3rOcSMU October 11, 2022 at 01:02PM
