You can add Alignerr to the list as well.

I understood (can not confirm it though) that the new start menu in Windows 11 was built using React Native, so yet another ui framework in the mix.

The language has its quirks, but frameworks like Laravel make application / API development very easy. And, of course, it runs practically anywhere :)

A few weeks ago, I started some tutorials in the game engine Godot. I've been a developer for ca. 15 years and actually started with Game Maker many years ago. I always found it ve…

If I'm not mistaken, ICANN uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes as country TLD's, so in a sense the UN indirectly specifies the rules for ICANN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166…

Yes, plus one for toggl. I used to track my time in a text file, but this became cluttered very quickly.

I also suffered from a bad case of social anxiety. It probably does not work for everyone, but what really helped me was just going away for 4 weeks. I just returned from my holida…

I built an HTTP stub application in my spare time. At first, I only built it for myself but at some point open sourced it. I still have a lot of fun building it. You can find it he…

We've been using [Gotenberg]( https://gotenberg.dev/ ) since a few years and so far works really nice.

Fun fact, besides .ru (Russia), .su (Soviet Union) is also still active.

I installed Plausible a few hours ago on my VPS. The installation process when very smooth and it gives me the data I'm interested in. I really did not want to use Google Analytics…

I run and develop the trailer booking website for my fathers company. I earn based on the number of bookings. For some reason (possibly COVID) a lot of people moved so it was a ver…

Nice, will certainly check your project out. I created HttPlaceholder[1] some time ago. It is an open source mock server, which right now only has an on-prem version. I also have i…

Reading this also reminded me of this: https://web.archive.org/web/20160523114950/https://www.reddi...

I don't know where you live, but I live in the Netherlands and here it is illegal to bill you for a second year of a subscription automatically. After year one, you can cancel at a…

Fun fact. Once I made a Twitter account for my open source project. Twitter says you can use the "date of birth" field for your actual date of birth or the launch date of your prod…

Armyknife.net: a website with all kinds of developer related tools (yes, the 1000th one, I don't care :P I just enjoy creating it and don't expect any big source of income from it)…

In short, Scoop installs all your apps in the user home dir. Apps are not installed through an installer, but through a .zip file. A pro is that you do not need to be admin on your…

One thing that helped me in the beginning was the plugin "Key Promoter X" which suggests keyboard shortcuts on every action.

Nice application. I may try it out this week. I've also built a "tool of tools" a few years ago which I (and only I) use regularly. It's a command line tool and may need some more …

I use FreeOTP+ for Android because it allows me to backup its data.

This is so true. And the bonus is, it works terribly on Firefox, to the point that when I am forced to use it, I just skip the site altogether.

I've seen many people on HN struggle with this issue. I've bookmarked this post from a few months ago and enjoyed reading it and trying some of the ideas out: https://news.ycombina…

Wanted to thank you for writing your blog post. I have been on Linux full-time since about july 2019 and found your post some time after that. Your post really kickstarted my produ…

Since all gyms are closed in my country, I've converted my attic in a "make shift" gym. I've placed a desk, installed Ubuntu on an old laptop, placed a screen, put down a mat and s…
