Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data https://bit.ly/3H6DmlA

Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data If we want better web3 experiences, developers need better tools. RPC nodes are really good at executing transactions, however they are notoriously cumbersome to set up, and reading large chunks of data is not very efficient: To show a list of transactions and receipts, nodes have to re-execute smart contract code on entire blocks. For every read call. Not great at scale. Which is why everyone is building ETLs to move data from the chain into their own database. This GraphQL API is our first step in allowing developers to spend more time on building product, rather than ETL infrastructure. https://bit.ly/3AWrPS4 November 30, 2022 at 11:55AM

Show HN: Amazon Seller sent me a postcard asking me to leave a 5-star review Wanted to jump in and throw this here since this is about the first time I've been reached out to by an Amazon seller by mail, directly asking me to leave a 5-star review in exchange for a $20 gift card. With an already struggling E-commerce market, it's quite strange to see the lengths sellers are going to, to buy 5-star reviews from buyers. I am considering reporting this to Amazon, however wanted to run this by you guys and hear similar stories from you! Here is the card I received: https://bit.ly/3FfrxZk https://bit.ly/3FfrxZk November 30, 2022 at 02:37AM

Show HN: SinglePage – Quickly and anonymously publish a page to the web https://bit.ly/3FbiUim

Show HN: SinglePage – Quickly and anonymously publish a page to the web Creating a basic webpage has become way too complicated and expensive. Often there are those times when you just want to share your thoughts with the world but don't want the overhead and complexities that come with maintaining a website. Sometimes, you have an interesting thought piece, an education article, or just a quick and simple bio page that doesn't need the heavy hand of a WordPress blog or Medium post. That's where Single Page comes in. Publish a single page instantly to the web with no fuss. I was laid off three weeks ago from Twitter and I decided to work through a couple of my projects and this was one of them. I've tried blogs over the years, Medium didn't feel right but yet I wanted to quickly post pages online and couldn't find an easy way to do it. So I created it. Feedback appreciated! https://bit.ly/3FcgW0V November 29, 2022 at 09:14PM

Show HN: A userscript that adds archive URLs below the paywalled HN submissions https://bit.ly/3GXrvGD

Show HN: A userscript that adds archive URLs below the paywalled HN submissions This userscript adds archive URLs to the metadata section of HN submissions without breaking the immersion. Here are 2 screenshots: https://bit.ly/3idPhUm GreasyFork: https://bit.ly/3OPWEhi... Source code: https://bit.ly/3GWGrEV Now let me overexplain. -Why?- I never liked paywalled articles. I understand where they come from, but I don't like where we cross our paths. This is why I don't use major news aggregators anymore. Instead, I spend my "catching-up-with-the-world-time" on Hacker News. However, Hacker News (HN) also has its fair-share of paywalled articles. ( Around 11.6% according to my short-lived, half-assed attempt at measuring it. See my super old data https://bit.ly/3OMKANy I tell the story below.) -First try- Around a year ago, when I ran the above experiment, my goal wasn't to run that experiment. It was during my self-teaching & career-changing process, I decided to build a React HN clone. To make it stand-out from the bunch, I added a paywall feature. It would detect paywalled articles and would add an archive URL into the metadata. The issue with archiving is unless someone archived the link before on the {archiving-project} then the link is most likely not archived. So me sending people to those projects meant nothing. It kinda meant something for me from an ideological standpoint but I assume you are not me. This rubbed me the wrong way. I decided to build a backend (See https://bit.ly/3GXowOC ) that would scan the links and automatically to detect paywalls close to real-time and submit paywalled ones to archive.is for archival. I used Nodejs, Firebase, and React. I was -still am- really proud because I believed it was doing public good in terms of digital preservation. Only 1 person needed to run this script to benefit everyone. As an extra, I was curious on how many paywalled articles were being shared, by whom, at what time. So I also created some analytics functionality to gather the data. And later created a UI to present it. HN-Paywall-Archiver was great but I stopped running the backend at some point. Because at that point couldn't find a way to continuously run my backend code on some platform for cheap or didn't try hard enough. P.S. Recently I've been thinking of remaking this version with Cloudflare Workers. -Hacker News Paywall Archiver Userscript- After almost a year, I got into userscripts. Super great super awesome concept. People seem to hate javascript unless it is presented as a userscript. So I decided to get my hands dirty to create a simple solution that solves the paywall issue on HN without breaking any hearts. My solution is not perfect as it had to be simple. But here's the rundown. Pros: - Does not beg for attention. - Simple code, simple concept. - Unintentionally, indicates which submissions are paywalled without you interacting with anything. - Not-yet-archived archive links can make you feel like you are contributing to the society after you click on the "archive this URL" button on project page. - Uses HN html defaults, so I hope it plays well with the HN skins/plugins/userscripts you use. Cons: - It doesn't automatically archive the links. - It uses clone of a static list of paywalled websites sourced from a popular Chrome extension. ( https://bit.ly/3VATNLg... ) So changing the paywall list is slow and manual. - No guarantees of archived links actually having the archive readily available for reading. Though there are currently 3 projects added, so it should be enough for most links. So, there you go. I hope you enjoy it. It can break occasionally due to changes in news.ycombinator code, if you let me know on Twitter, I can fix it ASAP. Otherwise you have to wait until I notice that the script is broken, which can take quite a while as I browse HN on mobile. https://bit.ly/3GWGrEV November 30, 2022 at 12:08AM

Show HN: Jektex – Fast server side rendering of latex for Jekyll https://bit.ly/3XIitTK

Show HN: Jektex – Fast server side rendering of latex for Jekyll Hello! This is my first attempt of creating, publishing and maintaining my own package. I have a blog with something around 4000 latex expressions. Client side rendering using latex was super slow and some phones did not render it properly. I tried some KaTeX plugins for server side rendering but they were painfully slow (on my laptop it took more than 5 min to build). So I decided to learn some ruby and create latex rendering plugin by my self. So I created jektex. Jektex is a Jekyll plugin for fast server side cached LaTeX rendering, with support for macros and is very configurable. Now I can render y entire blog in 2 seconds on same laptop. I will be very happy for any feedback or advice. Have a nice day https://bit.ly/3GOY75n November 29, 2022 at 12:07AM

Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework https://bit.ly/3Va8mFR

Show HN: Yet Another Node.js Framework About a year ago, I stumbled upon a new Nodejs language called "Imba", I found this language to be interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential. Doing a bit of digging, I realized no one had created a framework for it, so what did a normal dev do? Well, a normal dev went ahead and created another Nodejs Framework, only this time it was meant for Imba. So what did I create? I created a batteries included Framework heavily inspired by Laravel but it runs on Nodejs, and uses Imba as the default language, but you can actually use TypeScript or JavaScript. In fact, when creating a new project using the Framework, you will be asked if you want to use "Imba" or "TypeScript". You can scaffold an Imba SPA or MPA, you can even use React or Vue, it all depends on what you are used to.

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations https://bit.ly/3VddE34

Show HN: MyNixOS – Create and share Nix and NixOS configurations Hello HN! I want to show you MyNixOS.com - a website I've been working on this year to make it easy to create and share Nix and NixOS configurations. Nix is a powerful tool to deploy software in a reproducible way, and with NixOS you can control your whole operating system through a declarative configuration. Starting out with Nix was exciting, but it definitely had a challenging learning curve. This made me start building a website focused on making it easier to create and share Nix flakes, which are the core unit of software deployment in Nix. Using the website, you can create flakes without knowing the Nix configuration language, as the necessary Nix files are generated for you. A few examples of what you can do right now: 1: Create and build a Docker image with Redis and OpenSSH running NixOS: https://bit.ly/3UgDIJs / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fuCGXHw7qM 2: Create a Nix development shell with Neovim and Zig and run it on Windows 11: https://bit.ly/3u2DlYa / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4q72mGjYXA 3: Create a reproducible macOS environment using nix-darwin and Home Manager: https://bit.ly/3Va8vZz / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Y7s1sRSUY 4: Create a Linode server image using NixOS running Nginx with Let's Encrypt: https://bit.ly/3u4cCdT / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4X0fjD0-Y 5: Create a Raspberry Pi NixOS image running Transmission and OpenSSH: https://bit.ly/3UdfG27 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L0H92-JdHA The site works directly with the Nix command line tool, and generates pure Nix flakes without any custom formats. The website is currently in alpha and is developed as a closed source project. Some interesting upcoming features include support for language environments such as Python, and the ability to install arbitrary versions of packages. By posting on HN, I'm especially looking to get in contact with early commercial users of Nix to learn more about the most important use-cases to solve. Hoping that you will find the site useful, and I'll happily try to answer any questions you might have! https://bit.ly/3u4POuw November 27, 2022 at 02:15PM

Show HN: I wrote a book about forms usability https://bit.ly/3ieIMRi

Show HN: I wrote a book about forms usability Hello. I'm a developer who wrote a book about forms. The thing is that I suffer from perfectionism. It's not "just to convince you guys that I wrote something cool". My book is pretty mediocre. However in order to write it, I rented a hotel (!) in a different country because I couldn't find a quiet place where I could do this. And spent here ~1.5 month writing it. I'm highly inspired by two guys. Those guys who wrote RefactoringUI (Adam Wathan & Steve Schoger) and Josh W Comeau (who made css-for-developers). Both of them made terrific products. My dream is to get to their level. But here is a thing: I planned to spend a whole year for this book, but due to the war (I'm from Russia) I had to migrate to another country. And a lot of things has happened. After suffering depressing (hello Fluvoxamine & Xanax), I finally made something that I can show. If I get some results (yes, basically, sells), I'll dedicate the next year to get close to those guys mentioned above. One of the ideas is to write a book (or even a course) about tables. They are complicated. Another one is to upgrade https://bit.ly/3V9ITw0 to a printed book. Many ideas, but it's hard to realize that the whole year was hectic due to the well-known sad events that happened. One thing I want to mention about "what's cool about this offer". In the "Complete package" there is a discount for FramesX. It's the first time I used a product in Figma and I used it for my illustrations. Next week this guy releases the second version. And I RELALY liked this one. So that might be even better than offer than my book :D https://bit.ly/3AOMmb7 November 27, 2022 at 12:59PM
