Show HN: Moocable – find people studying the same online course/book

Hey, everyone<p>I made a website that lets you find study partners/groups based on the specific course/book you are studying.<p>It's 100% free + no registration required.<p>Why: I know there are many subreddits for finding study partners. But, one of the biggest reasons we can't find the right partner/group is lack of clarity.<p>Most posts that I read on Reddit were something like: "I'm interested in programming. Let's study Python together..." - That's not a clear goal.<p>But, when you say "Let's study the <i>Python for Everybody course on Coursera</i>. I'm from Mumbai, India, and I'm looking for study partners in the* timezone (UTC+5:30). I'm fluent in Hindi language. I have 2 years of experience in C++<i>, so I understand the fundamentals of programming. Happy to host the group and contribute</i>" - that will lead to higher quality engagement.<p>It's also difficult to search + filter posts on Reddit, based on my learning requirements.<p>Keeping all these pain points in mind, I've built Moocable, where you can search & filter posts based on the course/book you're learning + timezones + languages + level of experience.<p>Lastly, you can use it to discover new learning materials. Some of you might have used <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.classcentral.com/</a><p>I'm building a similar library for Moocable, you can easily search and discover new learning materials.<p>If you are looking for study partners, give it a try!<p>P.S.: I've manually filled the first ~100 posts. Each post is 100% authentic, scraped from subreddits/Coursera forums/niche websites.

Tell HN: I made a shareable one-page site on how to fix the CrowdStrike issue

Hey everyone,<p>I just created a shareable one-page site that provides a step-by-step guide to fix the CrowdStrike issue. You can check it out here: <a href="https://howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com" rel="nofollow">https://howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com</a><p>The website is open-source, and you can find the code on GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/GorvGoyl/howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com">https://github.com/GorvGoyl/howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com</a>). It's built using Next.js, Tailwind, and deployed on Vercel.<p>I hope this helps people who are currently affected by the global CrowdStrike issue. Feel free to contribute or suggest improvements!

Show HN: ProgressLine – Track commands progress in a compact one-line format

A bit about me: Originally, I'm an iOS developer, but over time, I became interested in CLI and DevEx, which ultimately led to the creation of my first CLI utility in Swift.<p>Project creation story: I enjoy interactive and functional command-line interfaces with good UX, which often includes beautifully displaying the progress of ongoing operations. I wanted the ability to show a nice progress status for any command or script, but at the time, I couldn't find any solutions that suited my needs. Most community offerings are good libraries for specific programming languages. So, I decided this was the perfect moment to test my skills and Swift's capabilities in writing CLI utilities.<p>In my opinion, Swift did an excellent job (although it doesn't have as rich a set of relevant libraries as Rust, for example).<p>The main challenge turned out to be cross-platform support:<p>- Currently (Swift 5.10), Swift doesn't support full cross-compilation, making it impossible to build a Linux version on macOS. However, this capability will be available in Swift 6! This limitation forced me to use Docker, slightly complicating the release flow.<p>- Unlike macOS, Linux doesn't come with pre-installed Swift libraries (obviously), so they need to be embedded (statically linked) into the binary file, which significantly increases its size, even after stripping. I hope the strip process will become more efficient in the future.<p>Overall, I'm pleased with the result and would be thrilled if my small utility proves useful to others. :)

Even a teeny-tiny deviation from the rules will break the email in untold combination of os/desktop/mobile clients.<p>It's mid 2024. Almost 50 years since email was invented and 35 years since HTML was born. A 'basic-open-source-HTML-email-designer' must be a solved problem, right? We thought so too.<p>Sadly, that's not the case.<p>There are a few decent open source email designers but they carry dependencies that make them cumbersome to embed within your app. That's why we decided to open source our HTML Email Designer.<p>The SENDUNE email designer focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It is light-weight. It does pure HTML - no intermediate code wranglers like mjml. There is no lock-in of any kind.

Show HN: Llm2sh – Translate plain-language requests into shell commands

This is my take on the common "use llms to generate shell commands" utility. Emphasis is placed on good CLI UX, simplicity, and flexibility.<p>`llm2sh` supports multiple LLM providers and lets LLMs generate multi-command sequences to handle complex tasks. There is also limited support for commands requiring `sudo` and other basic input.<p>I recommend using Groq llama3-70b for day-to-day use. The ultra-low latency is a game-changer - its near-instant responses helps `llm2sh` integrate seamlessly into day-to-day tasks without breaking you out of the 'zone'. For more advanced tasks, swapping to smarter models is just a CLI option away.
