Show HN: Instant API – Build type-safe web APIs with JavaScript https://bit.ly/3Qst0kp

Show HN: Instant API – Build type-safe web APIs with JavaScript Hey there HN! I just wrapped up an all-day documentation spree for Instant API, a JavaScript framework for easily building web APIs that implements type safety at the HTTP interface. It uses a function-as-a-service approach combined with a slightly modified JSDoc spec to automatically enforce parameter and schema validation before HTTP requests make it through to your code. You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply building your endpoints. This eliminates the need for most schema validation libraries, automates user input sanitization, and prevents your team from developing carpal tunnel syndrome trying to keep your OpenAPI / Swagger specifications up-to-date. We developed it as a side effect of building our own serverless API platform, where it has scaled to handle over 100M requests from users per day. This is an early release, but Instant API has had about six years of consistent development as proprietary software to get to the point it is at today. We have spent the last couple of months modernizing it. We have command line tools that make building, testing, and deploying Instant API to Vercel or AWS a breeze. Additionally, there is a sister package, Instant ORM, that provides a Ruby on Rails-like model management, migration and querying suite for Postgres. Everything you need to build an API from scratch. Finally -- LLMs and chatbots are the the top of the hype cycle right now. We aren't immune, and have developed a number of LLM-integrated tools ourselves. Instant API comes with first-class Server-Sent Event support for building your own assistants and a few other nifty tools that help with AI integrations and chatbot webhook responses, like executing endpoints as background jobs. This has been a huge labor of love -- it has become our "JavaScript on Rails" suite -- and we hope y'all enjoy it! https://bit.ly/3QwB3g8 October 26, 2023 at 05:00AM

Show HN: Quilly – A simple, open-source personal knowledge management app I wanted a simple note-taking/personal knowledge management app. Existing tools like Notion, Obsidian etc. felt too complicated for me. So, I created Quilly - a straightforward, fast, and private note-taking app. Here's what it offers: - It's open source. - It uses Markdown, so you're not locked in with a specific platform. - Your notes are saved locally. - You can tag your notes. - It supports code highlighting. https://bit.ly/40fwJ8o October 24, 2023 at 08:15AM

Show HN: Time Machine Utilities https://bit.ly/46Kzf98

Show HN: Time Machine Utilities I wrote some shell scripts to automate "fixing" old Time Machine backups, particularly Time Machine backups from previous computers. I've personally experienced a lot of friction with this, and found out that some of the metadata stored in the Backups.backupdb and individual snapshot directories prevent successful use with Time Machine on other computers in some cases. Time Machine itself does not always handle this gracefully. These utilities should help users wrangle older backups to make them work with Time Machine on their current Mac. https://bit.ly/3tMJKtW October 23, 2023 at 05:37PM

Show HN: Pypipe – A Python command-line tool for pipeline processing pypipe is a command-line tool for writing data pipelines in Python. When working with data processing in the terminal, I often find myself wanting to pass the output of commands to Python for further processing. In such cases, one can either write one-liners or create regular Python scripts and connect them through pipes. However, using pypipe makes this process more convenient and efficient. https://bit.ly/46HS0ty October 23, 2023 at 05:35AM

Show HN: ThmDex – Compendium of mathematical definitions, results, conjectures This is something I built to help me organize my own notes while studying mathematics. Because of this, some definitions/names might be nonstandard. But it's a somewhat novel way to "browse" mathematical theory, so some may find this interesting. The name originates from abbreviating "theorem" as "thm". https://bit.ly/46H4EJn October 22, 2023 at 11:37AM
