Show HN: Shorebird 1.0, Flutter Code Push

Hey HN. Eric Seidel here (former lead of Flutter & Dart at Google, prev. YC S06).<p>I founded Flutter and led the team for almost a decade. One of the constant questions we got was would we support code push like the web/react native: <a href="https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14330">https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14330</a> I left Google about a year ago and set out to build a company around Flutter and decided to start with code push.<p>It took us a year to build. We had to build a new toolchain for Dart and a custom interpreter (for store compliance). But it works! Our beta has already been used by thousands of apps. Most (eventually all) of the code is open source on GitHub.<p>I’ll be around all day to answer Flutter and Shorebird questions. We run our company in the public on Discord and are happy to take questions there too. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Show HN: Flash Notes – Flashcards for Your Notes, LLM, iOS/macOS Sync

The app started as my wishful thinking that flashcards should really be derived from notes. I've been constantly writing things down and wishing to remember them. However, I never could convince myself to populate a flashcard app with them. I really tried (Anki, Supermemo), but I guess regular form filling is not for me.<p>So I've started experimenting with flashcards derived from structured notes. Writing the 1st MVP was fast, but productionising it was way harder. Content synchronisation when the user can work from tube/plane and use multiple devices and content is text is… not trivial. So I had to learn about OT (Operational Transformation) and CRDT (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type), and even implemented a few iterations of CRDT in Swift. This was intellectually rewarding, but the app was not progressing. Also, when you have both app data model and CRDT in your head, you start to over-optimize - you are leaking abstractions. Thankfully, the CRDT market nowadays is pretty mature; Automerge is production-ready, and automerge-swift comes with a nice abstraction. I strongly believe offline-first apps are the future/now.<p>ChatGPT happened, and it felt like a perfect match for the app, as it's already text-focused. First, it was just to provide prompts for the cards, but when you turn the problem around, you realise that LLM is great for predicting other flashcards in the context of your note. So instead of downloading a premade flashcard deck, you start a new note, give it a title, and click generate. I still find it weird to watch but also mesmerising.<p>Other features that I think are valuable: App data sits within your iCloud account until you use Generative AI (LLM). Hopefully, we will get an API from Apple soon.<p>The Spaced Repetition that I've implemented is not really spaced. I wanted the app to adapt to the user. So it's focusing on sorting the card deck based on your recall and lets you practise as much as you want. I found this approach to work way better for me.<p>Oh, it's multilingual with text-to-speech.<p>Here we are; the 1st production-ready "MVP" is live. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Show HN: A url only notepad that hosts itself

I like playing around with bookmarklets (bookmarks that are executable JavaScript)<p>And I wanted to make a Quine (code that prints a copy of its own source code ad infinitum)<p>So I made a bookmark-only notepad that saves a copy of its own executable and current state to a JavaScript executable bookmarklet.<p>As you type, a link on the page updates with the source code and the internal state. You can drag this link to the bookmarks bar to “save” your work. Works cross device if you have browser sync on.<p>No server involved!

Show HN: Brutalist Hacker News – A HN reader inspired by brutalist web design

I've developed a Hacker News reader that draws inspiration from Brutalist Web Design, the open web, Cyberpunk Aesthetics, and glitch art.<p>The entire project is crafted in Vanilla JavaScript, contained within a single index.html file, eschewing any external libraries. It features support for theming, including the use of third-party themes. Additionally, users have the capability to create and apply their own themes directly within the site.<p>Moreover, the application is designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA), enabling it to be downloaded and used as an app on most devices.<p>I'm eager to receive feedback on both the implementation and design aspects, particularly from the Hacker News community. Mobile device testing remains a priority for further refinement, so insights in this area would be particularly valuable.<p>For more detailed information and to explore further:<p>- Project details are available at <a href="https://github.com/wkyleg/brutalist-hacker-news">https://github.com/wkyleg/brutalist-hacker-news</a><p>- To add or experiment with themes, please visit <a href="https://github.com/wkyleg/brutalist-hacker-news/blob/main/themes.md">https://github.com/wkyleg/brutalist-hacker-news/blob/main/th...</a>
