Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman https://bit.ly/3eOxXnA

Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release. Quick list of features: - Workspaces - Tabs - Nested Folders - Lots of context menus - Response history - Plugins - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions - Desktop builds for all platforms - GraphQL support - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia - Simple user friendly interface I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the browser. If you're tired of Postman's bloated interface and slow startup times, do give this a try. https://bit.ly/3TuXku6 October 21, 2022 at 01:06PM

Show HN: Userscript to get rid of the YouTube Shorts player https://bit.ly/3CVLiT8

Show HN: Userscript to get rid of the YouTube Shorts player I'm pretty frustrated by the shorts player for YouTube so I made this userscript which simply redirects to the default player that has a scrub-bar, does not loop automatically and does not overlay the video with UI. This at least fixes my biggest frustration with this new video format. https://bit.ly/3SgSsqF October 21, 2022 at 11:43AM

Show HN: It's 2022 and sharing files from Android to Mac is still a pain https://bit.ly/3TlMbeO

Show HN: It's 2022 and sharing files from Android to Mac is still a pain I always found sharing files from my Android phone to my Mac a pain. I wanted to have a way to share my photos, videos, documents etc from my phone directly to my MBP, without having to upload anything to the 'cloud' or some messaging app. Those ways tend to be less secure and fairly slow. Because of this I made this little app you see on the video that enables you to share the files directly from your phone to your laptop. I have been using it for a while now for personal use and it works really well! The app was recently made available to everyone. You can try it out for free via https://bit.ly/3z0VtEK Happy to answer any questions you might have. October 21, 2022 at 05:24AM

Show HN: NanoMODBUS – A compact MODBUS RTU/TCP C library for microcontrollers Hi HN, this a tiny C library I made because, to my astonishment, in 2022 I couldn't find an (almost) complete and free implementation of MODBUS to be used in a generic microcontroller environment.

Show HN: Transform Your City https://bit.ly/3gotAQJ

Show HN: Transform Your City Hey HN, As noted in a previous comment posted on the "Paris Will Become ‘100% Cyclable’" thread [0], I've been contributing to a project (as a volunteer backend developer) to try to accelerate urban change around pedestrian/cyclable/car-free streets. It's "change.org for urban transformation". It started with a Twitter account posting Dall-E-ified versions of streets [1] which picked up steam in the press [2]. And now, we're live with our own site! Happy to answers questions, and other folks from the project might chime in as well.

Show HN: SoundSeeker – Organize Your Musical Ideas https://bit.ly/3F0YKbf

Show HN: SoundSeeker – Organize Your Musical Ideas Hi HN, I've been programming for about three years, and this is my first full-stack web app. It's a tool for organizing musical ideas. Building and deploying it has been a great learning experience, and in that spirit I'd be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions if you care to take a look. Thank you! source: https://bit.ly/3giqrBU Why: Composing music is different for everyone, yet some practices are employed by many musicians. One such practice is to record a musical idea on a phone, capturing the idea at its freshest, and for many, clearest. This often leads to a lengthy catalogue of chronologically organized recordings that can be difficult to parse when sitting down to flesh out a piece of music – what matters most is the content of the idea, more so than when it was conceived. The purpose of SoundSeeker is to allow you to organize musical ideas based on their content instead of when they came to be, and to serve as an educational personal project in my growth as a software engineer. What: A graph-based organizational tool for scratch audio recordings Planned features: in-app audio recording, in-app audio trimming, custom labeling outside of the main tiered organizational system. https://bit.ly/3eF0wUI October 20, 2022 at 01:15AM

Show HN: Git based open directory of companies hiring It's using a git repository for data + netlify-cms in open authoring mode (for anyone with a github account to be able to contribute). The companies for which known job board providers (greenhouse etc) exist, get their jobs referenced in an algolia search index; companies get a community profile page generated by a SSG.

Show HN: Lvlup – Habits and Journal https://bit.ly/3Td63Ax

Show HN: Lvlup – Habits and Journal Hi, I am excited to share something i've been working on for a while with you! lvlup is a fun and efficient habit trainer which uses innovative science-based methods and gamification to systematically help you build life-changing habits and get you closer to your goals. It follows a gradual habit-building process accompanied by self-reflection tools and personalized habit-specific reminders to keep you motivated along the way. Main concepts: - Start with a habit so easy you can’t say ‘no’ to it and then slowly build up. Along the way, your willpower and motivation will increase, making it easier to stick to your habit for good. - If you are struggling with a habit, split it into smaller sessions to make it easier to accomplish and maintain momentum. - Journal and reflect on your past progress and mood to keep yourself motivated and figure out why you are crushing some habits, and struggling with others. - Complete your habits consistently and unlock new achievements, titles, avatars and more fun rewards. I am looking forward to getting your feedback on lvlup! Thanks, Erol https://bit.ly/2TpQRUe October 19, 2022 at 10:21AM

Show HN: I made a simple platform to find founders and buy side-projects Hi Guys, I got overwhelming support and feedback from my last post about secondfounder.com but still, I felt the need of connecting founders together so that they can together buy a side project. It's very often when a non-technical founder buys a project they have to find a technical founder to take that project further. Today I have implemented this feature in secondfounder.com Link: https://bit.ly/3D5VSbv Your feedback is always welcome. Thanks October 19, 2022 at 12:10PM

Show HN: HacKit, a macOS app for reading Hacker News stories and polls https://bit.ly/3TyOT04

Show HN: HacKit, a macOS app for reading Hacker News stories and polls I wrote a macOS app for reading Hacker News stories and polls and recently released version 3.0 with new features. It is written in Swift and uses AppKit framework. It is a Mac-first app which is built for the macOS design language. It looks and feels and works like a proper macOS app made with love and care. It is not a port of an iOS nor an iPadOS app nor anything else. I am quite proud of it and I hope you can appreciate it too. So, I recently updated it to version 3.0 with new features such as tracking stories by marking it as (un)read, (un)favourite and (un)hidden. There is also folder management to organise stories and smart folders that track stories by certain attributes. It also supports the Touch Bar with customisations. I would love it, if you could try it out and let me know what you think of it! I welcome feedback and please do let me know if there are any bugs or crashes. I did all the testing myself to the best of my ability. Oh and about the in-app purchases, it is just the tip jar and it is completely optional. The app and all its features are absolutely free to use. If you like HacKit, please kindly leave feedback on the App Store. It really helps, no really! Have a good week! https://apple.co/3c3DGSP October 18, 2022 at 11:25PM
