Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman https://ift.tt/9s52xpG

Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman Hey HN, I built this because I wanted a portable version of Insomnia I could access anywhere I am, without installing anything. The application is a PWA, so it will not load resources again after the first load, unless there's an update. It uses IndexedDB and loads quite fast even with a lot of nested requests and folders. Import from Postman and Insomnia is available making it easy to import your pre-existing request collections. Only limitation is that it only supports CORS enabled endpoints for now. I plan to add cors proxy support later on. There is of course the electron build ( https://ift.tt/dp6cj9I ), which can be used to bypass cors but that kinda defeats the portability of the app but it is an option.

Show HN: Reach 100 – a (unsolvable?) puzzle game https://ift.tt/Pl17vKa

Show HN: Reach 100 – a (unsolvable?) puzzle game I recently remembered a game we used to play with pen and paper some 20 years ago, where you need to fill a 10x10 grid writing numbers in the grid up to 100 following 2 simple rules. After showing it to my kids I thought it would be nice to adapt it digitally so that they could play it more often (not needing to draw the grid etc.) and so that other people could play it as well. What I'm really interested in with this submission (beyond general feedback) is wether anybody knows the origin of the game and if it's solvable. Because that's the catch, my highest score of all time is 97 and it doesn't seem to be possible to go higher. I have the feeling this game is an adaptation of a more general problem and probably has its origin in some lecture. So, once again, if you know where it comes from I'd be really grateful. Alternatively I would love to know if there is a possibility to prove if it's solvable or not. (It&#

Show HN: I used DallE to create default avatars on my Creator community website https://ift.tt/JurT83N

Show HN: I used DallE to create default avatars on my Creator community website I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a serious-looking owl, standing in front of a typewriter" Voice Actor: "oil painting portrait of a robot who is made out of a microphone, wearing a hat and headphones" Comic Illustrator. This one was a little more tough, so I chose 'tablet' as my key object: "Oil painting portrait of a bro

Show HN: SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements https://ift.tt/h8k32vm

Show HN: SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements Hello everyone! Our software offers a SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements. We built an MVP model which recognizes levels in which BTC is at the top or bottom of the cycle. It is primarily intended for investors who are not financially sophisticated as a possible help to protect their investment. A short story about the creation of the product: A few of us, friends and ourselves, have always been maddened by the regular loss of the largest part of unrealized profit during bear markets which tend to be very hard on retail investors.On the other hand, a lot of friends blindly invested into bitcoin at ridiculous price levels based on hypes, bad instagram and YouTube influencers and mouth of word. We think that a large part of BTC and crypto investors live in a similar situation. With this goal, we teamed up with experts in the field of data science and finance, and created an algorithm that gives the BTC price score based on crucia

Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular https://ift.tt/A0YezGD

Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular Hey HN, I am a novice web developer, and I built a new webapp game in Angular that combines the game play of Hangman and Wordle. I chose this project because I wanted to learn Angular, while also developing something useful. I have some prior backend experience. And, I was pleasantly surprised with how much you can achieve in the pure JS/Typescript these days. For my app, the backend only sends the daily puzzle data in JSON, while the entire game logic and interactions are completely implemented in the frontend. I wrote around 4000 lines of the frontend code for this project. For me, the best part was RxJS integration in Angular. It also had a fair amount of learning curve. However, once you have learned the basics, it saves a lot of redundant boilerplate code and makes the code more readable and clean. You can play the game for free and there is no sign-up required: https://10letters.app The game does not save any user data at the server

Show HN: Make Any CLI into a GUI in Acme Hey HN. I've become enamored with the Acme editor. It's fascinating because it turns the Vim paradigm on its head: instead of maximizing your use of the keyboard, maximize your use of the mouse. I think this helps optimize for information management, as opposed to text manipulation. I realized a lot of the CLIs I use have the same structure, and with a small program I could convert them into GUIs inside Acme and make them much easier to use. Let me know what you think. https://ift.tt/5L49QjH August 28, 2022 at 12:45AM

Show HN: Browse HN Together in Three.js https://ift.tt/HELRBYq

Show HN: Browse HN Together in Three.js Hey HN, We’re Philip, Amby, and Declan, and we made “multiplayer virtual computers” that you can embed anywhere, including 3D spaces. We decided to build this because we noticed that embedding third-party apps and websites can be a nightmare due to incompatible platforms, security issues, and poor UX. Adding multiplayer functionality to these embeds makes this problem exponentially more difficult. On the backend, we’re spinning up a VM and running a resource-optimized fork of Chromium which we then stream to participants via WebRTC. Since we’re hosting the servers running the applications, multiple users can connect and control the virtual computer seamlessly, and their client just needs to handle a video stream. If you want to add multiplayer virtual computers to your own app, you can sign up on https://ift.tt/5l1KtTX , grab a free API key, and throw the provided embed URL in an iframe in your app. You can also play around more with the Three.js

Show HN: New UI for Ec2instances.info Hey HN, 10 years after the project began we have updated the UI for the cloud server comparison site known as EC2Instances.info. This refresh brings a sticky filter bar so you can scroll and see what filters are applied, a more compact navbar, and improved UX for comparing instances. I've also fixed numerous long standing UI bugs including: comparisons now load correctly on RDS and ElastiCache, sort by max ENI works, sort by RDS instance storage works, and all dropdowns have consistent behavior. For maintainers and contributors, all the frontend libraries are upgraded to their latest versions, https://ift.tt/zu8CkWt . Going forward, we are aware that the homepage size is quite large and have plans to address this. We have tried to be good stewards of this project and evolve it carefully.

Show HN: VSCode Working Memory – Capture everything in a single text file It's a dead simple VSCode extension based on Cal Newport's idea of a single text file productivity system. Capture everything in a single markdown or text file. Specify the file and use shortcut to open it in new tab from any VSCode project/workspace. Also, there's a quick capture option to append line to the top of the file without opening it. That's it, nothing much.

My wife said "that was a disappointment" after anniversary sexy time

We celebrated 14 years of marriage and had a nice quiet night at home. As most anniversaries do, it ended with some sexy time. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thought my wife did as well. After, she went to the bathroom and was moving around the house. I stayed in bed and put on our favorite show. My wife came back towards the bedroom and before she even entered she declared "that was a disappointment". My heart sank and nervously looked in her direction as she followed up..."we are out of fudgsicles". Apparently, our 14 year anniversary was ruined due to us not having fudgsicles. At least it was not due to my performance. via /r/funny

Show HN: Brew.fm – Let bots discover new music on Spotify for you Use Spotify? This tool will automate your music discovery for you. Join here (100% perpetually free with no strings attached): https://brew.fm Some time ago, I built and showed HN[1] brew.fm, a tool helping artists remix each other’s work. It had been quiet, and I remembered how fun it was to work with the Spotify API, so I repurposed the tool to solve one of my own problems: missing out on new music of my favorite artists. I shared it on Reddit yesterday[2], and this seems to hit a spot for more people: so far 833 people connected their Spotify account. How it works: The tool simply shows your top 50 artists on Spotify over short, medium and long term, and checks those artists for new music. If you select a playlist, every artist involved in the tracks will be checked for new music, after which new releases are shown sorted by most recent release date. Here’s a video of me demoing the tool: https://youtu.be/Nh2Ognb4PgU

Show HN: We built an AirTag-like network for sensors that talk to your servers Hi, we’re Simon, Don and Dan, and we’re developing infrastructure for enabling Bluetooth devices that can communicate with your web backend (we’re calling it Blecon). Think your own AirTags network, but for sensors talking to your servers. We’ve got most of the underlying tech for the network infrastructure in place, and now have samples of a first manufacturer device that supports Blecon - a small rechargeable accelerometer tag. Not much live yet, but we put a summary of this first device and how it works in the link (plus you’ll find some early developer docs for the network infrastructure itself). TL;DR the tag logs timestamped motion and orientation events, and then sends the data using Blecon when phones come nearby. The data arrives at your specified network endpoint as JSON HTTP POSTs, so it is nice and flexible for integrating into any web infrastructure or framework you might be using. The customer

Show HN: Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale Hi, I just saw this tweet[^1] by @QuinnyPig that mentions accessing your Pi-hole while traveling thanks to TailScale and wondered how to deploy Pi-hole at the edge, instead of a home lab, for improved latency. My simple solution involves running it on Fly.io to make it easy to relocate anywhere, and embedding tailscale into the same firecracker VM (né docker container) to keep the infra dead simple and cheap. Naively deploying a publicly accessible DNS resolver is not ideal[^2] so the main constraint was to secure the VM by 1) keeping all public ports closed and 2) having Pi-hole listen only on the private network interface created by TailScale. It's all very straightforward but it's noticeably improved my bandwidth usage and page loading times across my laptop and mobile phone, so I figured I'd share. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome! [^1]: https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1558521941

You can also save and load commonly used variables, so it may help a bit to automate presenting your project's README. Hernán https://ift.tt/80iU5bq August 17, 2022 at 11:13PM
