Show HN: Finarky – Portfolio Tracker with Personal Rate of Return https://bit.ly/3NlSVsq

Show HN: Finarky – Portfolio Tracker with Personal Rate of Return A minimalist portfolio tracker that calculates your Personal Rate of Return (using Internal Rate of Return, IRR). Although often missing in more featured and complex apps, the Personal Rate of Return is essential to know if you're on track to meet your investment goals, compare the performance of your different investments, or with other people's portfolios without revealing any specifics. This is a side-project. Built with ClojureScript and Krell/Reagent/React Native. https://bit.ly/3J7BGss June 11, 2023 at 08:56PM

Show HN: OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative https://bit.ly/3P7W8gK

Show HN: OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative Hello folks, We are launching OpenObserve. An open source Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative written in rust and vue that is super easy to get started with and has 140x lower storage cost compared to elasticsearch. It offers logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, functions (run aws lambda like functions during ingestion and query to enrich, redact, transform, normalize and whatever else you want to do. Think redacting email IDs from logs, adding geolocation based on IP address, etc). You can do all of this from the UI, no messing up with configuration files. OpenObserve can use local disk for storage in single node mode or s3/gcs/minio/azure blob or any s3 compatible store in HA mode. We found that setting up observability often involved setting up 4 different tools (grafana for dashboarding, elasticsearch/loki/etc for logs, jaeger for tracing, thanos, cortex etc for metrics) and its not simple to do these things. Here is a blog on why we built OpenObserve - https://bit.ly/45ZeRRG . We are in early days and would love to get feedback and suggestions. https://bit.ly/3NpH1xY June 11, 2023 at 11:35AM

Show HN: Reddit Archiving Tool https://bit.ly/3P011s6

Show HN: Reddit Archiving Tool Inspired by the ongoing call-to-action by the Internet Archive team over at /r/DataHoarder [1], I've decided I want to try to preserve all cybersecurity related subreddits. [2] For people that don't know what's going on: There's a likelihood that the try to monetize the Reddit API will lead to a lot of moderators quitting the platform, and it could be that a lot of subreddits are going to be set on private and/or their threads are going to be deleted. At least that's kind of the fear from the ongoing moderator strike. In my case I learned a LOT from reddits' discussions about malware, exploits and how they work, and without those I certainly wouldn't be where I am today ... so I'm trying to preserve them. As the Archive Warrior only scrapes the HTML directly to the Web Archive, I'm trying to preserve the data itself directly as JSON files; with intent to store it later on IPFS (having been inspired a couple days ago by the-eye-team's effort to archive RARBG on IPFS). I just wanted to let people know here about the tool, and in case you want to archive your favorite subreddits, feel free to modify it. There are some limitations though, because listings (new/hot/top/search) are all limited to 1000 entries, which means that the discovery of old threads is quite limited. Keyword search increases the discovery of old threads. In my case I'm searching for a lot of keywords (like CVE, RCE, vulnerability etc) in order to discover more threads. Would love to hear feedback, currently it's just a prototypical quick n' dirty tool because the threat of my favorite subreddits going dark is quite immediate. I tried to reduce as much noise from the schema as possible, and the tool is only archiving the subreddit threads and comments, with the idea to be able to scrape the websites/blog articles at a later point in time.

Show HN: Yo.link – Subdomain based URL shortener https://bit.ly/3P6gwP3

Show HN: Yo.link – Subdomain based URL shortener I was looking for a pet project to try out recent additions to https://bit.ly/3Rvl5Sq platform, specifically their PostreSQL and Redis offering. They also provide easy to setup wildcard subdomain HTTPS certificates, and since I had yo.link domain lying around for a while, why not use it to create, yes, yet another, URL shortening service, but with a twist... Putting the user-selectable short-code in the subdomain has the advantage that it is the first thing that users read in a URL, and as such it is an opportunity to provide some contextual information about the link. Here are some examples: https://bit.ly/3oPup9T --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOXq89h8saI https://bit.ly/3oR11QC --> https://bit.ly/3J5e33L https://bit.ly/3P7kmYu --> https://ift.tt/BuiKGVg... I couldn't find any other shorteners that use this approach, hence wanted to build one. Redis is great for counting realtime clicks, sliced by hour, day, month, country/city and user browser. PostgreSQL is used as master DB to host the short-code destination-link mapping, and for user management. I plan to add some extra features, like: - tagging the links so it is easy to search and categorise. - password protect the links. - separate analytics for QR code visits. Please let me know what you think. Any ideas, suggestions or critic is very welcome. If you are interested in collaborating on such a project, please let me know (support@yo.link) https://bit.ly/3P0STYk June 10, 2023 at 10:59PM

Show HN: Bloop – Answer questions about your code with an LLM agent https://bit.ly/3NkPQsM

Show HN: Bloop – Answer questions about your code with an LLM agent Hi HN! We launched bloop 10 weeks ago ( https://bit.ly/3oVdrGX ) and received a huge amount of feedback (both positive + constructive). We've undertaken a rewrite of the core search framework, which now acts as an LLM agent, significantly improving the number of queries that can be successfully answered. There's a bunch of hype surrounding LLM agents, but we're positive this is one of the first implementations of an agent that can deliver immediate value for engineers working on existing projects, especially larger ones. We'll do a full write up of how the agent works and the tools it can use soon, but we wanted to share our progress, now that we've got a stable release. bloop is a developer assistant that uses GPT-4 to answer questions about your codebase. The agent searches both your local and remote repositories with natural language, regex and filtered queries. Some of the ways engineers use bloop to improve their efficiency when working on large codebases: - Summarise how large files work and how multiple files work together - Understand how to use open source libraries when documentation is lacking - Identify the origin of errors - Ask questions about English-language codebases in other languages - Reduce code duplication by checking for existing functionality - Write new code, taking into account existing codebase context (eg: "write a dockerfile for this project") bloop runs as a free desktop app on Mac, Windows and Linux: https://bit.ly/3NoPdP0 . On desktop, your code is indexed with a MiniLM embedding model and stored locally, meaning at index time your codebase stays private. 'Private' here means that no code is shared with us or OpenAI at index time, and when a search is made only relevant code snippets are shared to generate the response. (This is more or less the same data usage as Copilot). We also have a paid cloud offering for teams ($45 per user per month). Members of the same organisation can search a shared index hosted by us and will get access to enterprise only features down the line (currently there's no feature gap between desktop and cloud). https://bit.ly/3Nn2Qhz June 9, 2023 at 06:19PM

Show HN: A music search engine that helps you find new songs https://bit.ly/3MYZRdB

Show HN: A music search engine that helps you find new songs Just finished working on a side project that helps you find new music by searching through various criteria and at the same time play the songs that fit your filters. I often find myself stuck listening to the same few songs as finding new ones can be a long and sometimes fruitless process. That is why I wanted to make a tool for anyone to use that takes into consideration multiple parameters that have to do with a song, with all the filters coming from the user with no ads or popularity of songs affecting the search. I am 19 and love working with programming projects like these in my free time. Play around with the product and feel free to provide any feedback on it! (Note: As most streamlit URLs it may need to be copy-pasted in the search bar to work.) https://bit.ly/3DJIJ74 June 10, 2023 at 10:14AM

Show HN: I created a minimalist file-browser web application https://bit.ly/3NkRk65

Show HN: I created a minimalist file-browser web application As I got tired of fighting with Jellyfin and SFTP for my media server, I decided to write a small web application that allows me to browse, manage, download and stream the files on my web server. It comes as a single-page application with a Preact frontend and a Go/Gin backend. Creating this allowed me to get back into full-stack development, which was a bit tougher than expected after having taken a multi-year break from touching any frontend code. You'll find the source code, binary releases and installation instructions on GitHub: https://bit.ly/42z7mO6 The official Docker image: https://bit.ly/42Cxac9... And the helm chart: https://bit.ly/3qAw6Ze I also did a write-up about the project on my blog: https://bit.ly/42vLjYO https://bit.ly/42z7mO6 June 9, 2023 at 10:36AM

Show HN: I turned my email automation tool into a full-fledged email platform https://bit.ly/3N0s4kb

Show HN: I turned my email automation tool into a full-fledged email platform Around 10 months ago, I published a tool I made ( https://bit.ly/3cFGkkb ). I was scouring the market for an affordable and easy-to-use email automation tool, to no avail. The solution? I decided to just build it myself. Since then, I've added the ability to send transactional and broadcast emails, threw out the subscription pricing and turned it into a usage-based model, etc. In short, turned it into a full-fledged email platform designed for SaaS. With this post, I would like to share my learnings, findings... Ask any question and I'll answer it to the best of my ability. Thanks to the feedback of the HN community, I was able to turn this into something that I am still proud of every single day. A sincere thank you from my side. https://bit.ly/3J7YOGc June 9, 2023 at 09:50AM
