That simply isn't true. Progress toward a goal isn't the same as leading the field. Autonomous driving is the clearest counterexample: by March 2026 Waymo had logged over 220 milli…

The losses fall on bondholders now, but it does make it harder for SpaceX to raise money going forward. And if they actually slip into junk territory, some institutional investors …

Anger about the 2008 bailout makes sense. Yen carry unwind deserves attention. However, the trading call to action fails on market structure. Key counterpoints: - Global FX turnove…

Hyperclay: a way to package up HTML files as portable, editable apps that contain their own editable UI. I'm using these simple apps to plan, edit emails, write blog posts, and a l…

Author here. I agree that all frameworks require learning framework-specific concepts, but I think there's a meaningful difference in what you need to know and how that knowledge t…

Author here. The "paleo influencer" comparison is interesting, but I think it actually works both ways here. Yes, there's a temptation to romanticize the past and dismiss modern to…

Author here. I appreciate the point about unidirectional data flow solving real problems, but I think we're trading one complexity for another rather than actually simplifying thin…

This is a really cool approach! I checked out your Mockaton dashboard code and love what you're doing. Here's a simplified example of your pattern that really showcases its eleganc…

You're cherry picking the tech titans that made it out of the Dot Com boom alive. The NASDAQ-100 had to replace 36 of its components between 2000-2002 due to bankruptcies and delis…

I wasn't planning to launch today hehe. The changelog and pricing links are fixed!

The author (me) was strongly inspired by TiddlyWiki -- I love that software and wish it was allowed to proliferate more. If only browser vendors allowed their users to persist HTML…

Hi Clemens, I'm a big admirer of yours and what you're doing with Webstrates. I first heard of you about a year ago, when I was first exploring the ideas that became Hyperclay. I l…

1. Security: It operates under the same security model as most website builders (think SquareSpace), we completely trust the end user to modify their own site in their own best int…

This is a version that lets you easily update HTML apps locally. The hosted version is for when you want to share your apps or let other people fork them online. But the ultimate g…

Sorry about that, it's fixed now: MIT License

I added this word-for-word to the home page. Thank you! Note: we are working on a way for a developer to push "DOM-based schema migrations" to all forked apps.

Yes, I agree. My dream would be to one day work on a browser and integrate Hyperclay into it. I believe web apps have been around long enough as a core web technology that browsers…

There's two approaches Hyperclay takes. 1. Hosted: You get a bunch of "HTML Apps" that persist themselves by calling their own /save endpoint. We grab the HTML and overwrite their-…

> instead of storing JSON we store HTML with all its verbosity and all its tags that have nothing to do with the user edit Yes. In exchange, we get a portable, malleable, self-cont…

There is an open source, local app version by the same author (me) here: https://hyperclay.com/hyperclay-local

The idea is that two instances of overtype would be initialized inside those divs!

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text…

As someone who runs production services but isn't a full-time sysadmin, I evaluated this script before thinking about deploying it. Here's what you should know: The Good: It's a co…
