A bit unrelated: The "countdown animation", just like Google I/O's, how do people make those? The countdown is probably dynamically generated, as they don't know when the even…

While we're on the topic of ERP: I have noticed that, in 2025, many small businesses still use Excel. Is there an underserved market? Or simply a "tarpit idea" (deceptively attractive b…

Weird, my fellow developers usually don't advocate visual tools like Zapier, but instead roll their own solution (non-visual). Which, to be honest, comes with its own problems.

I guess it's good for "Dreamweaver 2.0" in the sense that it produces plain HTML. But my understanding is most serious web applications use a framework of some sort, such as React, Vue,…

Another thing is with timezone: https://github.com/date-fns/tz/issues/57 I'm not sure if it's caused by JavaScript quirkiness under the hood or a bug in the l…

I've only started using Claude, Gemini, etc in the last few months (I guess it comes with age, I'm no longer interested in trying the latest "tech"). I assume those are "non-a…

I'm sure it's very rewarding, but I'm also sure it's a one-way street. So either enjoy your single life while it lasts, and/or use crypto to channel your income to people you …

Reminds me of Black Bag ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bag ). Also, I can't help but feel depressed thinking about countries with less sophisticated justice systems. Th…

If you're a solo developer building your next Salesforce killer, you will feel that dopamine rush every time AI helps you get closer to launch. Don't worry, there's still more coding pr…

I built a niche SaaS and did Show HN, zero interest. I know the demand is there because there's a dozen competitors and they're still around after few years. Recently I got some paying custo…

IntelliJ has had this "plain text HTTP" feature for a while. I'm wondering if it is backed by Hurl?

If memory serves, TigerBeetle is/was not free for production? I can't find the Pricing page, but I kinda remember reading about it somewhere (or it was implied) a while back.

Can I say it's similar to Signoz, in that both are ClickHouse-powered and available as both open-source and hosted versions? How are you guys different compared to Signoz? (The UI looks similar t…

I can't find it on the website. What does it compare to? And what's the memory/disk footprint, let's say, for using it in a Flutter project?

Why we're in this topic, does anyone know a recommended AI-way of converting Figma design into a working and responsive HTML? Or, even better, a napkin sketch?
