Show HN: I made an iOS HN app to navigate large threads without getting lost

I was struggling with navigating HN discussions using existing solutions, so I decided to implement a completely different approach, think of it as depth-first reading vs breadth-first reading. Visually it looks like swipeable stacks of comments and it offers several advantages over traditional interfaces:<p>- Comment width doesn't get narrower no matter how deep in the comment tree you are<p>- You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading<p>- Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control<p>- You can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by scrolling<p>As a result it's easier to maintain the context and to keep track of where you are in the discussion tree. The app is fully featured, it does all the things that you would expect it to do, and there's extra: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items.<p>Video preview: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/tzBdpXw" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/tzBdpXw</a><p>or <a href="https://streamable.com/arq45m" rel="nofollow">https://streamable.com/arq45m</a>

Show HN: SpaceBadgers – Free and Libre SVG Badges

Greetings, Hacker News community!<p>I am thrilled to present SpaceBadgers, a new free and open-source SVG badge generator I've been working on. It's located at badgers.space.<p>SpaceBadgers is born out of the desire to offer more flexibility and customization for project badges, often used in open-source projects.<p>It's fully open source, provided under the permissive MIT license, and will always be provided for free. The core badge worker is written in Rust, and so is the library behind it, which you can also find on crates.io under the name spacebadgers.<p>I am excited to receive your feedback and suggestions. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments. Contributions are also welcomed and appreciated. You can find the source code here: <a href="https://github.com/splittydev/spacebadgers">https://github.com/splittydev/spacebadgers</a>.

Show HN: Trogon – An automatic TUI for command line apps

Hi HN,<p>Trogon is a project to generate a TUI for command line apps.<p>It presents the arguments, options, and switches as a form. Editing the form generates a command line, which you can then run with a keypress.<p>I'm a lover of the command line. But I can recall only a fraction of the switches for most commands I use. I would love it if there was a TUI available for most commands.<p>Trogon currently works with Python and the Click library, but I would like it to cover more of the Python ecosystem and also generate TUIs for apps not written in Python.<p>More information in the repository.<p>Let me know what you think...

Show HN: Mapname – anonymous social network for organising points of interest

Hello HN,<p>with mapname you can create a unique name for any particular point of interest as in prefix(id).group(optional).suffix.<p>Once a mapname created then this can be used as an address, discovered and socialised.<p>Mapname is free and has no advertisements. At onboarding pick a unique prefix. That is all about onboarding.<p>Users can also organise collection of places with just two words, for example coffee shops i like at NY is abc.1 or I have visited Melbourne last year where you can see at abc.melbourne<p>Mapname designed as an anonymous Social Network where users particular perspective engage with like minded users, instead of their persona. Personal Images are not promoted.<p>Here is one minute user guide <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G42THV9YcY4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G42THV9YcY4</a><p>More mapnames are on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/NameYourWay" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/NameYourWay</a><p>You can consider this as "Pinterest of coordinates"<p>Another way to think this; mapname(s) to coordinate(s) is similar to domain name(s) to ip address(es).<p>Instead of hard to remember IP Addresses we use domain names. Similarly instead of coordinates or map list urls a mapname can be in use.<p>Between mapname and a coordinate 1->1 or N->1 or 1->N relationships are possible.<p>Whenever a mapname visited, the most relevant what3words attached to it so that you may communicate whichever is more relevant.<p>Mapname is trying to reduce friction while describing addresses and organising points of interests, for transportation, navigation, directions uses integrations.<p>A mapname can be viewed in your favourite maps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Yandex Maps, Bing Maps, Baidu Maps) or with what3words, citymapper, waze.<p>it is available on android & ios, feel free play with it, any feedback or question is appreciated.<p>What other location/navigation/map integration would you benefit?

Show HN: Swap.js – a JavaScript micro-framework (HTML fragments over the wire)

Hi HN! I created this lib in the need of a simple and tiny framework to easily do AJAX-style navigation / replacement of fragments in the page, in a web application.<p>For people who don't want to use client-side-rendering and complex frameworks à la React, there are nowadays a few "HTML-over-the-wire" libraries, like HTMX, Unpoly or this super-tiny one Swap.js :)<p>One other key thing is that no external tool is needed: no bundler, no webpack, no TypeScript compiler, no minification needed. Just write HTML, JS (+ your preferred server-side language: PHP, Python, etc.) and it works.<p>The framework makes use of fetch (of course) but also MutationObserver API to be able to launch actions when parts of the DOM change.<p>Let me know what you think!

Show HN: YouTube Full Text Search – Search all of a channel from the commandline

yt-fts is a simple python script that uses yt-dlp to scrape all of a youtube channels subtitles and load them into an sqlite database that is searchable from the command line. It allows you to query a channel for specific key word or phrase and will generate time stamped youtube urls to the video containing the keyword.

Show HN: Localias, securely manage local devserver aliases

Hey HN, Localias is a new tool that you can use to securely manage your local development servers.<p>Use localias to securely proxy a local development server running on <a href="http://localhost:3000" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3000</a> and access it at <a href="https://frontend.test" rel="nofollow">https://frontend.test</a>.<p>Localias is built on top of Caddy, so it's secure and performant. And because it's built on top of Caddy, it will automatically generate and install a custom root certificate, and automatically generate and sign certificates for each of your aliases.<p>This all works by editing your /etc/hosts file and generating a Caddy config, then running the proxy server for you either in the foreground or as a daemon. It's easier to deal with than running Caddy yourself.<p>Your whole team can share a configuration file in your git repo, making it easier to share URLs with each other while developing.<p>I hope you try it out and find it useful! The code is MIT-licensed and I'm happy to accept any feedback, feature requests, PRs, or comments.<p>Have a good weekend, Peter
