Show HN: AllyDB – An in-memory database similar to Redis, built using Elixir https://bit.ly/3XL97pg

Show HN: AllyDB – An in-memory database similar to Redis, built using Elixir Hey, everyone. I am currently working on AllyDB, which is basically my own Redis, which I am writing in Elixir. Currently, the database is nowhere close to being ready, as you can see in the roadmap, but I am doing my best to add stuff as fast as possible. Currently the implementation is very simple, with an in memory table, an append log persistence system, as well as an interval persistence system as a backup. The database could definitely be optimized further, especially when it comes to persistence, which I am planning to do in the future. I'm also planning to use Rust NIFs for specific tasks for the performance gains over Elixir and BEAM. Writes and deletes are currently asynchronous, but I will add blocking versions of them soon. I am trying to make the system as fault tolerant as possible, and currently everything except the TCP connections are fault tolerant. I'm also working on a TypeScript client for the project, so yeah, that kind of sums it up. Feel free to check the project and the roadmap out, and let me know what I could improve or give feature or optimization ideas! Thanks, and have a nice one! https://bit.ly/3XI4yMb February 20, 2023 at 01:04AM

Show HN: A Web-Based Visual Query Designer for MySQL https://bit.ly/3kaT5qU

Show HN: A Web-Based Visual Query Designer for MySQL I built this web-based developer utility few years ago when I couldn't find any opensource GUI-based query builder for mysql (similar to what MS Access had). This app can be run locally. The online demo uses static hardcoded values. Screencast's link is included in the README file. https://bit.ly/3Id4kqP February 19, 2023 at 05:32PM

Show HN: Manage research papers from your CLI I built this because I started reading a lot of arXiv papers and wanted a quick way to store and download them. Features: - Add a bunch of arXiv papers to Notion with auto-populated title/URL/date/authors in one command - Download PDFs of any papers you haven't saved yet in one command https://bit.ly/3I55EvS February 19, 2023 at 07:29AM

Show HN: Storygenie, a Tool for Better Stories https://bit.ly/3IzfZl6

Show HN: Storygenie, a Tool for Better Stories Hi HN, I'm Aron, I'm 26 and a software engineer working with different scrum teams for 6 years. I really enjoy working with the scrum process, however, most product owners care relatively less if stories are well written and have no problems refining them over and over again. That's where I saw potential: I built (yet another, I have to say regarding shownew) a website that uses the OpenAI API to generate scrum stories based on a project description and a short idea description. It works fairly well, but I would love to hear feedback from others than co-employees, and this is the only place I know to get some valuable early feedback. The website does not require any sign up, has no paid model, and I am really doing this "advertisement" only to get some feedback of any kind. The landing page is https://bit.ly/3YMDMnl , the app itself is also directly accessible in a demo format under https://bit.ly/3XMs8Y9 :) Thank you for any feedback and greetings from Germany!

Show HN: NPM package for a visual scripting editor Hey guys! I just released a NPM package to integrate a visual scripting editor into any node project (React, Vue, Angular... you name it). Basically, the goal is to provide your users a way to customize, automate, create new features for your product. Just like an open-source community, but without the barrier of code. Here's the homepage of the project: https://bit.ly/3EfEFMW And a small tutorial for visual scripting: https://bit.ly/3IzwFcp https://bit.ly/3KlyqLD February 17, 2023 at 04:39PM

Show HN: JinbuPal – Learning Chinese doesn't have to be difficult https://bit.ly/3xyzBiR

Show HN: JinbuPal – Learning Chinese doesn't have to be difficult My co-founder and I built a Chinese language learning web app that helps you quickly master the most common Chinese characters and recognize 95% of real content. JinbuPal uniquely enhances learning for maximized progress by allowing effortless personalization of your daily study. When I dreamed up JinbuPal, I was a maker just like others in the HN community. I was working on my electronic hardware startup and I thought that learning the fundamentals of Chinese would help me communicate with manufacturers in Shenzhen. We designed JinbuPal to help you leverage data and your own curiosity to learn as fast as possible. JinbuPal is built for (and by) analytical thinkers with a desire to “hack” Chinese learning and easily identify the “low hanging fruit” to speed up their learning process. We’ve selected the highest impact characters and words, allowing you to make more substantial progress gains with your early study. JinbuPal provides countless ways for you to filter and sort cards, identifying the easiest content for you to learn each day based on your current level and your own curiosity. As you familiarize yourself with characters, you can also utilize these filters to study words which only include characters you are already familiar with. JinbuPal boosts confidence by giving you real-time feedback of how well you can apply your Chinese skills in the real world. We do this with the JinbuPal Score, which is a metric for what percentage of Chinese you should recognize on average in real content based on our analysis of millions of characters of Chinese text. We then help you to find authentic Chinese content that actually interests you. Finally, you can see your JinbuPal Score come to life by pairing your account with the JinbuPal Chrome extension, analyzing webpages, and visually seeing in your browser how much Chinese you’ve already studied from any given webpage. Once you complete the content in JinbuPal, you should recognize, on average, around 95% of Chinese characters you encounter. Please take a look at the explainer video embedded on our webpage and register for a free account. I gladly welcome your feedback and anything you’d like to share about your own experience learning Chinese. Thanks! -Mike https://bit.ly/3xqSog7 February 16, 2023 at 02:45PM
