Tell HN: Interview take home assessments without feedback are frustrating
I'm in the process of interviewing for senior and staff front end positions. I've done several multi-hour take home projects now and a couple were rejected with generic rejection messages. It's pretty insulting to be frank. Spending 2-4 hours on likely valueless work is a substantial amount of time relative to the week day. If I've spent the time making the project and they've spent the time recruiting me and reviewing the project, the recruiter and reviewer could spend 5 minutes sending constructive feedback.<p>Anyone else share in this frustrating experience? Have you successfully asked for feedback before?

Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet?
I've been using Amcrest and foscam IP cameras at my home for the past several years. I have then connected to a no internet VLAN with an NVR.<p>The models I've been using have an ethernet port and wifi. Setup was connecting to the ethernet port and then accessing the web ui in a browser to configure settings (most importantly turning on RTSP or ONVIF feeds). The cameras I have are starting to show their age and a couple of them are starting to fail (PTZ slow or require reboots every few weeks).<p>I picked up newer models from Amcrest and foscam assuming they would have the same set up procedure (i made sure to get ethernet+wifi models and did research on being RSTP capable) but they all require downloading an app and creating an account to set them up, even if the end configuration is without internet for local video)<p>The foscam cameras have a web ui that just has links to the app stores and the amcrest cameras don't have any web ui available. I tried directly accessing the RTSP URLs and still no luck. both apps require account creation in order to use.<p>I've also tried some tp link, wyze and aqara cameras in the past but they all required an app/account. They also had the worst reliability, both in connection stability and physical failure rates.<p>Does anyone have specific model numbers of currently purchasable (US) IP cameras that genuinely don't require an app and account to set up?
Show HN: An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor
Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor.<p>Some features worth highlighting:<p>- Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets<p>- Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing)<p>- Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports)<p>- Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs<p>- Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when logged in)<p>- GPT-3.5 integration (only when logged-in with the corresponding extension installed)<p>Stack used: TipTap, Solid.js, HocusPocus, Fastify, tRPC.<p>Some notable drawbacks:<p>- No mobile support<p>- Collaboration available only between signed-in users, in the same workspace;<p>- I tried my best to support most common Markdown formatting, pasting and in-editor shortcuts, though there might still be room for improvement<p>- Self-hosting isn't easy right now, though you should be able to figure it out from the source code<p>The editor itself is a standalone app, extracted from the larger Vrite CMS project (<a href="https://github.com/vriteio/vrite">https://github.com/vriteio/vrite</a>) which you can also test out (only with sign-in) here: <a href="https://app.vrite.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://app.vrite.io/</a>
