https://repowarden.dev - feel fairly feature complete now and am dogfooding heavily so it’s time to face my fears and do some “marketing” and “sales”. Whatever that means.

Had exactly the same sort of experience using AI to audit a code base we inherited recently at $dayJob. Spotted over 100 “security issue but after whittling them down via reproduct…

RepoWarden monitors your repos and opens PRs for dependency updates and security patches automatically. I got tired of manually managing Dependabot PRs across dozens of repos, so I…

Hey HN I recently rebuilt my microsaas Loginllama. It uses the same stack but I've made the API much much better and it's now a product I'm happy to promote. As with most developer…

How tragic. I only had the pleasure to work with Mikeal for a few months but always found his presence wise and humble. He consistently approached decisions with the kind of pragma…

Hey HN! A coworker and I were recently tasked with securing cloud storage against malware — specifically for S3. We expected to find a simple API-based antivirus service. Instead, …

Hey, remember me? We met randomly on a bus from Machu Picchu to Cusco a couple weeks ago! First "orange site" people I've met IRL lol. Great work on this - very slick UX and super …

Completely agree! Ultra processed people by Chris Van Tullekan is similar for eating unhealthily.

Absolutely, design of cities dictates behaviour. The secondary effects of this are interesting too. For example, european kitchens can be smaller because they don’t need to store a…

Great site and product! Congratulations on the launch. I actually have a use case for this in my product Loginllama. I need to grab information about the IP addresses. I’m currentl…

The author raises some interesting points. But these arguments seem a little tired now. Does a customer actually care what technology you use - absolutely not. If react is easier f…

Hey! Thanks for checking out this product. I built this after implementing similar systems for other clients and couldn't find an API that allowed flexibility of implementation. Ot…

As it happens I’m a part time developer! (I do voluntary work 2 days a week) If you’d like to work together my GitHub is @joshghent or my email is me [at] joshghent.com :)

Love your writing. Keep it up

Echo all the words from the author here, and kudos for being transparent. I’ve faced exactly the same problems building my new product. But, on the other hand, Supabase was incredi…
