Show HN: Hacking C++ to support Structure of Arrays Using my very primitive abilities with template metaprogramming, I put together a structure of arrays (SOA) class for C++. The point of SOA is that it can be cache friendlier. https://bit.ly/34lgGgu February 4, 2022 at 04:37AM

Show HN: I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs https://bit.ly/32VSy3r

Show HN: I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy! https://bit.ly/3LawSSk February 3, 2022 at 04:55PM

Show HN: Emergency softlight for late night video calls This has kind of a weird backstory, but in short, I am doing later and later video calls and needed a way to offset the blue tint of my laptop camera, so I hacked a quick web page to use my monitor as a softlight. Might not be suitable for all skin tones, and is a 30s hack that turned into a 15m one, so YMMV. https://bit.ly/3Gujghb February 3, 2022 at 01:00PM

Show HN: Find alternatives to almost any popular GitHub repo https://bit.ly/3IYwZ1D

Show HN: Find alternatives to almost any popular GitHub repo Several months ago, I built a "stealth" feature that I could use. It hasn't been advertised, and I've been the only user. As I find it useful for myself, I believe others (software developers) may like it too. So, this is the first public post about it, and if it gets any positive feedback, I may put some time into promoting it more. In essence, given that you've opened a GitHub repo (there are ~225k of the more popular ones indexed as of now), you can replace "github" with "libhunt" within the URL, and you will find the top alternatives and related projects. For example, here are three popular repos: - https://bit.ly/32SfpwO - https://bit.ly/3ohcMMn - https://bit.ly/34ul50i To test it out, open any of the examples above and replace "github" with "libhunt" within the browser URL. You can also try with any other repository as long as it's a bit popular. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions and receive some feedback. Thanks! February 3, 2022 at 12:15AM

Show HN: What do you think of my new social app? https://bit.ly/34ycGJC

Show HN: What do you think of my new social app? Hey there, First time posting on Hacker News in about 2 years! The reason I’m posting is that I thought I’d write about the product I’ve been building, in hopes it resonates with people. Why build yet another social app? Because I deleted almost all social media around 3/4 years ago as it was just net negative on my life. There was very little that was truly interesting, I didn’t care about looking good to other people and because of the ‘media’ and ads, the apps were all designed to make me spend too much time for what I was getting. I hated it and what it meant for people’s behaviour, including mine and my friends. I also noticed that the vast majority of my friends were pretty much passive on the services, even if they had an account. Turns out that most people felt uncomfortable sharing to people they didn’t know too well, which inevitably happens as you meet new people, add them, and often don’t develop the relationship much further. I had a sense that there could be a better way. In that, I remembered the days of Path and Google+ which had the model of focusing on particular people in your network, both through the feed and in how you shared. Path in particular was a ‘real life’ social network, something that despite being brought to market in 2010 or whatever, seemed to be more relevant today. So problem found, problem solved. I took the journey of learning how to code when COVID hit (I was working in Architecture and Design and was about to start my masters degree at Harvard GSD in Boston), then one thing led to another, my prototype garnered some investment interest, and Circles was born. The idea is very much like the name suggests, it’s about adding your contacts (synced through your phonebook) into Circles that define what the relationship is. This means that you only see things from people you have tagged (rather than everyone) and when you share, you choose exactly who it goes to (rather than all your friends or followers). It also takes cues from other privacy focused social products. Posts are encrypted, reactions and comments are only shown to people who are contacts with eachother, and user profiles only show that which has been explicitly shared to the user viewing the profile. As they were mentioned briefly before, it’s essentially a crossover between Path and Google+ with a wrap around layer of privacy, so the potential revenue has to eventually come through paid features rather than ads. We’re in the app store and google play store (yay, cross-platform JS frameworks), the invite code is ‘FULLCIRCLE’ and download links are below: Landing: [https://oncircles.com](https://oncircles.com) iOS: [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/circles-share-more-with-less/id1532621483](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/circles-share-more-with-less/id1532621483) Android: [https://bit.ly/35KIA6b I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on the idea. Hit or miss? PS: If you want to chat about the idea or are interested in working together I’d love to chat. Always interesting to meet people on HN and we have the funds, ideas and drive to continue making cool things that can solve big problems. Send me an email at james@oncircles.com Thanks!
