Show HN: Personal website inspired by Apple notes

i stan apple notes, so i built a new personal website to look, feel, & work just like it. it's fast, fully interactive, & can be navigated entirely via keyboard shortcuts. it was a lot of fun to build. i wrote more about the implementation in the linked page.<p>check it out!

Show HN: Maelstrom – A Hermetic, Clustered Test Runner for Python and Rust

Hi everyone,<p>Maelstrom is a suite of tools for running tests in hermetic micro-containers locally on your machine or distributed across arbitrarily large clusters. Maelstrom currently has test runners for Rust and Python, with more on the way. You might use Maelstrom to run your tests because:<p><pre><code> * It's easy. Maelstrom functions as a drop-in replacement for cargo test and pytest. In most cases, it just works with your existing tests with minimal configuration. * It's reliable. Maelstrom runs every test hermetically in its own lightweight container, eliminating confusing errors caused by inter-test or implicit test-environment dependencies. * It's scalable. Maelstrom can be run as a cluster. You can add more worker machines to linearly increase test throughput. * It's clean. Maelstrom has built a rootless container implementation (not relying on Docker or RunC) from scratch, in Rust, optimized to be low-overhead and start quickly. * It's fast. In most cases, Maelstrom is faster than cargo test, even without using clustering. Maelstrom’s test-per-process model is inherently slower than pytest’s shared-process model, but Maelstrom provides test isolation at a low performance cost. </code></pre> While our focus thus far has been on running tests, Maelstrom's underlying job execution system is general-purpose. We provide a command line utility to run arbitrary commands, as well a gRPC-based API and Rust bindings for programmatic access and control.<p>Feedback and questions are welcome! Thanks for giving it a whirl.

Show HN: Posting v1 – The modern HTTP client that lives in your terminal

Hi HN!<p>I just released version 1.0 of Posting, an open source terminal application I've been working on which you might find useful if you work with, test, or develop HTTP APIs!<p>Posting (<a href="https://github.com/darrenburns/posting">https://github.com/darrenburns/posting</a>) is an HTTP client, not unlike Postman and Insomnia. However, as a TUI application, it works over SSH and enables efficient keyboard-centric workflows. Your requests are stored locally in simple readable YAML files, meaning they're easy to read and version control.<p>Some other features include:<p>- "Jump mode" navigation - Environments/variables with autocompletion - Syntax highlighting powered by tree-sitter - Vim keys support in much of the UI - Various builtin themes - A config system - "Open in $EDITOR" - A fuzzy search command palette for quickly accessing functionality.<p>Posting is written in Python using the Textual[1] framework, which I also help maintain.<p>Although 1.0 has been released, it's not yet feature complete. I'd love to hear feedback from the community to make sure I'm on the right track and learn what's important to people.<p>So, if you have any thoughts, feature requests, or opinions, big or small, I'd love to hear them. At this early stage, your ideas can really help shape the roadmap of the project!<p>Thanks, Darren<p>[1] Textual: <a href="https://github.com/Textualize/textual">https://github.com/Textualize/textual</a>

Show HN: I made a Note-Taking app for people who keep texting themselves

This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage. I wanted to bring that effortless “text yourself” note-taking experience to a dedicated note-taking app.<p>Originally developed as a macOS app, Strflow is now also available for iOS. Strflow is designed to make note-taking as quick and intuitive as possible, centered around a chronological timeline UI.<p>Here are some of its features:<p>* Tag system<p>* Rich editor with text formatting, images, and note linking<p>* Global shortcuts for quick access<p>* Share extension<p>* Encrypted iCloud backup & synchronization (becomes end-to-end encryption if you enable iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection)<p>Hope you find Strflow interesting. I’m happy to answer any questions.<p>## Some implementation details some of you might be interested in:<p>* The app is implemented natively using Swift.<p>* On macOS, it’s based on AppKit, and on iOS, it uses UIKit, with SwiftUI used partially.<p>* The editor intensively utilizes TextKit.<p>* The sync engine is custom-built using CloudKit.

Show HN: What Beats Rock – AI Rock Paper Scissors

Hi HN! We built a game for fun where you answer What Beats Rock? And you can type whatever you want. An LLM decides the outcome. Highscores reset every week.<p>One fun finding: We tried a lot of models and we found that Llama-3 is not as good at linking concepts to emojis as GPT-4o. Ultimately, 4o had the best reasoning skills that made this game possible.

Show HN: Tegon: Open-source alternative to Jira, Linear

Hi HN, we're Harshith, Manoj and Manik and we're building Tegon (<a href="https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon">https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon</a>), open-source issue tracking software that uses AI to smartly automate manual workflows or provide more context to engineers for a given task. There's a demo video here: <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107" rel="nofollow">https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107</a>, and you can try out the product at <a href="https://demo.tegon.ai">https://demo.tegon.ai</a> using these credentials:<p><pre><code> Email: elon@xyz.com Password: XfFNw6GwVJVQv6PA </code></pre> As engineers, our experience with traditional tools like Jira hasn't been great. It is slow, bloated and often acts as a burden to engineers. These tools didn't help engineers in getting the work done faster, they only helped the management in tracking the work which enabled a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity.<p>With the rise of LLMs, we thought about how project management and issue tracking would look 5-10 years from now. The current tools didn't match our vision, which excited us and started the journey of Tegon. We aim to build a tool where manual workflows are either automated or handled by AI. This tool will provide better context about a task to an engineer by smartly gathering data from all sources, helping teams with better prioritization.<p>Tegon loads all the data from local (indexed db) thus making it super fast to load and navigate. We make all of this happen by real-time sync in the background. Tegon also uses AI to simplify the issue-creation process by automatically creating titles, suggesting labels and assignees and identifying duplicates. Tegon also simplifies the issue creation process from Slack, just apply an emoji to a Slack message and a tegon issue will be created making it easier for other teams to raise bugs or feature requests to engineering teams.<p>We deeply value the feedback from this community and have spent the last month revamping Tegon's design based on the feedback from our last launch. We just got started and there's a lot more to come. We're eager to get more feedback and keep building. Let us know what you think in the comments :)
