    Martin, I just wanted to say you've built something awesome here. I'm the player Vheissu you might see who has been topping the leaderboard. I would love to help you expand upon th…

    Show HN: Captura – free open source screenshot app and API

    I needed something for screenshots but with some of the same features that screenshotapi.net has and embarked on a journey to build something and open source it. It's pretty fully …

    Show HN: I built a Q&A platform for bad advice

    I call it askbad. It originally started out as a satire of StackOverflow where the worse answers are voted up instead of the best ones (although you could debate the worse answers …

    Show HN: HTMS (write JavaScript using HTML)

    Don't ask me where this idea came from. But a couple of years ago I had this crazy idea of writing a HTML to Javascript compiler. I went off it for a bit, but just started hacking …

    The problem is Coilot is dumb. Allegedly using the same models ChatGPT does, but Microsoft seems to have done something to Copilot which lobotomises it so badly it's unusable for a…

    Yay. WFH autonomy isn’t trivial, it’s about reclaiming control of your time, environment, and productivity. If collective action focuses narrowly yet powerfully on securing that be…

    No. Your app might gamify speech practice, but it overlooks crucial elements: nuanced human judgment, emotional rapport, and adaptive interpersonal communication. Speech therapists…

    My 2004 5 series BMW had this (it was called iDrive). A command style knob that could move on an axis of sorts (up and down, left, right). You could also press it in. I absolutely …

    I learned this lesson the hard way with my early 2000s BMW 5 Series (a 2004 model). It had a single joystick-style knob (iDrive, if I remember correctly) controlling a screen that …

    Not sure if people picked up on it, but this is being powered by the unreleased o3 model. Which might explain why it leaps ahead in benchmarks considerably and aligns with the clai…

    I love Sublime Text editor. Have been using it for 15 years now and despite the fact most of my development is done inside of VSCode or other editors, I still use ST for large file…

    This is like watching a carpenter blame their hammer because they didn’t measure twice. AI is a tool, it's like a power tool for a tradesperson: it'll amplify your skills, but if y…

    Show HN: Santashuffle

    Out of the need for a secret Santa generator that didn't make you sign up or had millions of ads on it, I created this client-side Secret Santa app. One requirement I needed was ge…

    So apparently, Sam Altman is so skilled he can cast magic spells on people? This just all adds credence to the fact he was fired because of a coup.

    The fact the new CEO can't even get answers from the board is quite telling. Looks like the OpenAI board wants those investor lawsuits. And allegedly the Quora guy Adam D'Angelo is…

    I have Aurelia 1 apps that have been in production since 2015. They don't need to be really touched. But, when they do, they're really easy to modify. I am currently using Aurelia …

    I am not saying HTMX is terrible or anything. What you've built is cool and I've built something with it. The point I was making wasn't made very well. What I meant was good option…

    HTMX is cool, but it's honestly only in the conversation because the developer has leveraged memes and garnered popularity on Twitter.

    I'm old enough to remember when servers rendered everything and you used CSS and Javascript to enhance the pages after they were rendered. The web is in such a dark and overenginee…

    One of these posts. Dig into the numbers and claims, and you'll see that they're not building something anywhere near Twitter scale.

    The syntax and overall paradigm of Aurelia 2 is the same. The team avoided where possible a repeat of what Angular did to the community with the transition to Angular 2. Most notab…

    These are all Aurelia 1 concerns which have been fixed in Aurelia 2. - There is no dirty-checking in Aurelia 2. The observation system now uses proxies and other sensible fall-back…

    A lot of the React fanatics are in denial about this. But, I've seen some absolute messes. Does anyone remember InVision? You probably have forgotten about them because Figma and o…
