Show HN: Catan: Starfarers for Two I'm a big fan of all things Catan. Starfarers is my new favorite variant. The 3-player minimum made it so my wife and I couldn't play just-us. So, we wrote up some 2-player rules. TL;DR: 3rd player is an NPC https://bit.ly/3L5qz48 September 1, 2023 at 02:19PM

Show HN: DIY Disposable Email Service Using Cloudflare https://bit.ly/3R3ehNq

Show HN: DIY Disposable Email Service Using Cloudflare I recently discovered Cloudflare Email Routing. It's a super sweet feature within Cloudflare for creating disposable emails. Basically, if you have a domain connected to Cloudflare - you can create email addresses like "something@yourdomain.com" that can forward emails to your primary inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.). This is great since you'll never need to share your real email address when signing up for new online services again. It will help you keep your primary inbox free from spam and promotional junk! However, managing my disposable emails using Cloudflare's UI is not optimal. It's slow and bulky. So I built this minimalistic UI for managing disposable emails. This client-side app communicates directly with the Cloudflare API. Privacy is the #1 focus with this project. Feel free to contribute or let me know if you have ideas for improvement. Use the hosted app, x2.email (easy-to-remember domain!), or host it yourself wherever you like. Give the repo a star if you find it useful! https://bit.ly/3En4yKE September 1, 2023 at 01:17PM

Show HN: Merge – Connect Google Wear OS to Apple iOS https://bit.ly/3Eldf81

Show HN: Merge – Connect Google Wear OS to Apple iOS TLDR: Wear OS app for Samsung Galaxy Watches and Google Pixel Watches to connect them with iPhones, after Samsung and Google ditched iOS support back in 2021. Hi all! I recently switched to an iPhone and became frustrated when my Galaxy Watch was rendered useless, due to Google's and Samsung's decision to cut off iPhones from Wear OS back in 2021. I then started a project to create an alternative integration. I launched it 3 weeks ago as a Google Play app for Wear OS watches, most prominently for the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch. With this app, these watches can now connect to iPhones to control notifications and take phone calls. The response has been fantastic so far, with nearly 1k downloads and a steady growth rate. Should the demand continue to rise, I intend to expand the integration with additional features. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and answer any questions you might have. Thanks for your support! -- Merge is also on ProductHunt today: https://bit.ly/45QMlki... https://bit.ly/3EmAjDt September 1, 2023 at 01:09PM

Show HN: Squabblr – A Twitter/Reddit hybrid platform https://bit.ly/3Z5USNZ

Show HN: Squabblr – A Twitter/Reddit hybrid platform Hey guys, I made a post about this about a week ago and was told to create a Show HN post. So here we are! Squabblr is a hybrid that takes Twitter style posting and combines it with Reddit style commenting. It came up from a personal want where I liked using Twitter to see what people I'm interested in are up to, but found that the reply system left a lot to be desired. It's very hard to have or follow conversations with their UI. While Reddit provided a great commenting system but didn't support following people very well (or had much usage of it at all). So I decided to create Squabblr. You can "tweet" random blurbs or have in-depth conversations in a single unified platform. You can follow people, and you can also have Reddit style communities for whatever niche subject you find interest in. If you find any interest in it, check it out here! https://bit.ly/3qXyQQX Tech stack: - Laravel - Vue.js - MySQL - DigitalOcean Appreciate your time! https://bit.ly/3L2ARlH August 31, 2023 at 07:26PM

Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff https://bit.ly/3R1WKFC

Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc https://bit.ly/3R2sjPr August 31, 2023 at 09:12AM

Show HN: 99% cheaper international business transfers – fixed fee, real rate https://bit.ly/47UFIiA

Show HN: 99% cheaper international business transfers – fixed fee, real rate Hello Hackers! One year ago we changed international transfers for consumers with only a fixed fee and made them on average 10x cheaper than Wise. Now we are thrilled to announce that we start “Atlantic Money for Business” to offer transfers up to £/€1m for a fixed £/€3 fee and at the current exchange rate. And while Revolut and Wise have recently raised their prices for business transfers by up to 50%, we enable savings of several thousand on every transfer.

Show HN: Vanity Git commit hash generator https://bit.ly/45xuDSZ

Show HN: Vanity Git commit hash generator Hi HN! This is just a fun little tool I made after I got nerdsniped by noticing that one of my commits naturally started with "fae". I thought that was cute, so I looked up existing tools that make vanity commit hashes, but none of them seemed great to me (and none supporting signing commits). I learned a fair deal about how git actually stores commits while making this, and I think I came up with a novel way to generate a vanity hash: adding an extra header to the commit file. This was just a quick project to satisfy my curiosity, but I thought you all might find it neat. Notice that all the commits in that repo start with "fae0"! - Anna https://bit.ly/3Eiy6J5 August 31, 2023 at 08:13AM

Show HN: Write Github Actions Workflows in Typescript Rather Than YAML https://bit.ly/3OUIM5z

Show HN: Write Github Actions Workflows in Typescript Rather Than YAML Hey HN, I just released github-actions-workflow-ts, an NPM package that allows you to write GitHub Actions workflows in Typescript rather than YAML. The package then generates GH Actions workflow YAML files from your Typescript code. Why? - Type safety - Code re-usability: package and reuse common jobs and steps across different workflows. - Imperative edge: Utilize control flow to control the generation of different kinds of workflows easily. Essentially, I realized that as I write larger and more complicated GH Actions workflows in YAML, they become less readable and thus more prone to errors and harder to maintain/refactor. You can try it out on Replit (free but requires an account to fork my examples and run them yourself). Fork it and run the build command in the shell: - Simple Example: https://bit.ly/44vTqWc... - Advanced Example: https://bit.ly/44vTqWc... Read the accompanying blog post here: https://bit.ly/44r2X0V... Please check it out. I'm open to any feedback as I march towards the first stable 1.0.0 release. Thanks https://bit.ly/44xw1ne August 30, 2023 at 01:56PM

Show HN: Chatmate: Discover and create chatbots https://bit.ly/3PhZwoI

Show HN: Chatmate: Discover and create chatbots Chatmate.dev allows you to easily make gpt4 based chatbots by combining multiple chat completions and/or document retrievals. You can chain different components together or run them in parallel and then use their responses in future prompts/components. To get started, create a project and then create a chat component. A single chat component is the same as one chat completion. You can add more chat or document components that use the responses of previous components in their prompts. There are some simple demos in the "discover" page. You can also publish your own chatbots and share them at the share url. The first demo is a simple document extraction. I copied a few posts from today's hackernews and fed it as a pdf. I then used the document retireval in the prompt for the final chat completion. The second demo is a teaching assistant chatbot for a data structures course. It is made up of 4 components, 1) Standalone query, which converts the user input to a standalone question (so that the document retrieval can be improved) 2) Thought generator, generates a sentiment based on the user's input (i.e. the user seems stressed about their data structures homework) 3) Document retrieval, retrieves lecture notes from over 400 documents 4) combines all the components into one system prompt for a better response. Roadmap: 1) Code components - run any code (including network calls) 2) Conditional components - uses gpt functions to decide which components to run (components are the functions) 3) Multitenancy (i.e. publish your bot at {botname}.chatmate.dev 4) Verisoning - chat with multiple versions of your bot (easy comparison of prompts) If you have any feedback, feel free to reach out at "jmiran15@jhu.edu". https://bit.ly/3OQdQ7H August 30, 2023 at 05:22AM

Show HN: Preserve your families legacy for CENTURIES https://bit.ly/45xOEZG

Show HN: Preserve your families legacy for CENTURIES Hey everyone, creator of clann.app here. I will try to keep this short but at the end of the day you will be forgotten one day. I know this feels sad and it really is. I mean ask yourself who your great-grandfather is, you don't know! Heck, we don't even know how they lived their life. Now their generation had very little access to computers let alone the internet. The problem isn't about the future knowing who you are but them understanding how your generation lived their life. Further we often tend to forget about our extended family. I am from India and after every single exam someone from my extended family who I met ONCE in my life would ask me my results. I would rarely know how they are related to me. This is a problem. Further dinner table discussions about how people are related to me are always a pain. Why? Sometimes even my parents don't know! The Solution? What if you could get your entire family into the digital world, Yes, it is possible! Upload images (feature name: memories) of your family today so that your future generations would truly appreciate how much their lives have improved. Clann is built for intergenerational use and has a robust invites system (feature name: groups, invites) so that you only allow your extended family members to see a certain family. If you have any queries you can contact me on @PottiVarun. Think of Clann as Figma for families. Get your entire family on there, Invite other families (relatives) and link each family by how they are related. Everything is in a clean flow char based UI. The link is https://bit.ly/3YUzbQM . You and I need to be remembered for the coming centuries. We need to leave a mark on this world. Lets leave a small digital footprint so that the future understands and appreciates their world! Goodbye! https://bit.ly/3YUzbQM August 30, 2023 at 12:29PM

Show HN: When Will I Run Out Of Money? (weekend project) https://bit.ly/3L2UOca

Show HN: When Will I Run Out Of Money? (weekend project) Hi everyone, I’ve been on Hacker News for a good number of years, but this is my first “Show HN”. I changed jobs recently. Tax is weird in Europe (and maybe other places as well?) in that different amounts go out at different times and repeat at various intervals. I needed to make sure I had enough cashflow to make all upcoming payments, I didn't want any surprises. So I created a little tool for my own purposes, then had fun putting a small HTML frontend on it as I thought it might be useful for someone else. I'm a backend developer in my day job, as you can probably tell from the design :) There are other tools out there that do a similar thing, but they normally require you to upload the relevant data to other people's servers, which I wasn't comfortable with for financial data. Also I didn't fancy paying anyone for a service as small as this. I'm posting it here in the hope that it's useful to someone. And to gather feedback, let me know what you think. https://bit.ly/3OTRykw August 29, 2023 at 03:14PM

Show HN: Mu – A Micro App Platform https://bit.ly/3QZjWEl

Show HN: Mu – A Micro App Platform Hey all Sharing a new piece of work I've been doing with a friend. Mu is a new micro web app platform which enables building and sharing apps instantly with storage, auth and payments built in. Apps are single file, built in the browser and rendered as an iframe. They're "micro" because they're quite literally tiny single purpose utilities like a hackernews reader or old school guest book. It's mostly at this point something that scratches a personal itch. Making app development super simple and lightweight. Sort of like living GitHub gists. And trying to build a simpler, cleaner place to consume the web. Right now nothing more than a cool hack I'm sharing. Feedback obviously welcome. Cheers Asim https://bit.ly/3PhLbc7 August 29, 2023 at 12:42PM
