We are working on a "no code" editor - sketch to react

Our goal is improve 10x productivity for frontend engineer to write web and app UI code by using the editor. Our first version is target on the most popular design tools "sketch" and most popular FE framework "React"

The idea is developer just import the sketch and can generate the UI code with some editor adjustment

We have come out the demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzm0PF30Wwk and subscribe more info in the future via https://pxcode.io/studio

We would like to hear any feedback Thank you !

Resident physician in NYC, not yet called as backup on the front lines. From comfort of home at this point refreshing my knowledge of ventilator settings. Also in spare moments have been considering similarities and differences between operating scheduling algorithms like multilevel feedback queues etc and heuristics used in crisis management, especially when there are both technical tasks like patient emergencies an…

I am working on a Firefox extension for search aggregation. It currently works with DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and others. The idea is that for 80% of my searches I can find the answer on Wikipedia or Stack Overflow, removing the need for a general search engine such as DuckDuckGo or Google, and thus hopefully avoiding blogspam and tracking to some extent. Extraction works through XPath, and I am…

Just installed. I'll use it for a bit. It seems great so far :)

I'm working on promnesia, a browser extension to enhance web browser history. It allows you to answer different questions about the current web page: - have I been here before? When? - why have I bookmarked it? - how did I get on it? Which page has led to it? - who sent me this link? Can I just jump to the message? - which links on this page have I already explored? - which posts from this blog page have I already re…

I love this idea and I would def use it! It would be also great if it would work backwards aswell, eg.: "the link I found on twitter last week"

I'm writing a supervisor / init system in Rust, called Horust (from Horus "the one from the above" + Rust). It's inspired by supervisord, you define a service in toml with a bunch of properties (like start delay, restart strategies, start after another service and so on) and then you just let horust manage the system.

I've designed it with the use case of running multiple processes in a single container in mind. I know this is not a nice thing to do, but still people do it. I've not tried using it as an init system (yet) but it should be possible with the current features.

It's not released yet (https://federicoponzi.github.io/Horust/) but I hope to release it this week (MIT license). If anyone with some knowledge in Rust / Linux want to join the fun, feel free to hit me with a message @federico_ponzi.

I've been building a browser extension called Curb Your Consumerism that detects when you're on a checkout page for a website and redirects you to a screen that shows you how long you had to work to earn the purchase you're about to make. The idea is to get people to more consciously consume and in general reduce their consumption.

It's currently working, but I've stalled a bit because I'm not sure of the best way to promote it. ProductHunt is probably a good first step, but other suggestions welcome.
