It's not production ready and the libraries to do advanced authentication aren't there yet, but it gets past the initial hump of "I need to encrypt in-transit and not rely on my cloud provider's network links to be safe" (because they aren't)

#342Re: Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
#343We’ve created https://lowdefy.com and open-sourced it. Over the past 5 years we’ve been building custom B2B and back office web applications. Nothing in the market had the level of customization we required both from a technical and commercial angle. So decided to standardize how we “configure” apps into a platform. We did this by designing a schema by which to define web apps which is easy to read, write and underst…
Thank you for sharing.

#344Dbmate: https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate I found most database migration tools tried to be too smart (I'm not a fan of automatic migrations), were too tightly integrated with specific languages or frameworks, or didn't support basic developer workflow pleasantries such as dropping and recreating the database. I created a simple single binary migration tool that runs migrations (sql files), and keeps track of applie…

#345As a frontend developer I often struggle with the component library to use. At last I set out to create my own https://nfui.js.org . It isn't complete yet. I still need to fix SSR and create a few essential component. But so far it is coming out great. With bundle size There are many I have tried before this project, but there is something always missing. I primarily work on React and so my experience can be a little…
have you tried tailwinds and their uikit tailwindui?
I did end up paying for the premium components, as I wanted to support their efforts, and it was reasonably priced, but didn't feel like I had to.

#346Earlier quoted context omitted.
Wormhole looks awesome! I was looking for something just like this a few days ago since Firefox Send was shitcanned by Mozilla. I ended up using send-anywhere, but Wormhole looks so much better. I wish it showed up in my Google results when I needed it. Is Wormhole p2p? If so, why the 10 GB limit? If it’s not p2p, why are you storing user data on servers (even if it’s E2E encrypted)?
According to the explanation on the website, it appears that the 10GB limit only applies if you make the optional choice to also store a copy of the file on Wormhole's servers, to keep the file available after you close your browser.
Why would there be a 10 GB limitation for p2p transfers if data is not being stored remotely?

#347Not sure if it counts, but I made two Roslyn analyzers for C# code. A Roslyn analyzer is basically a C# compiler plugin which can emit additional diagnostics if it encounters a certain pattern in the code being compiled. One of them lets a developer mark a C# method such that the method must be invoked with named args [1], calling it with positional args is a compile time error then. And the other makes it a compile…

#348Early 2017, I built Listen Notes [1] , so I can search podcast episodes by keywords and listen to individual podcast episodes without subscribing to the entire podcast. A few years ago, most podcast apps assume you wanted to subscribe to podcasts first then listen. Maybe I’m not a typical podcast listener. I don’t like subscribing to podcasts. I just want to listen to individual episodes then move on. Similar to cons…
Anyways love your product and I definitely enjoyed reading your article on medium where you talked about how you ran the entire company as a solo dev and that’s how I discovered ListenNotes back then

#349I also built a supporting tool to parse SOQL queries to support Jetsream because everything open source was broken and really sucked. https://paustint.github.io/soql-parser-js/
