Show HN: Ecode – A minimalist and fast open-source code editor
Hi HN! I've been working on a code editor and I think that it's mature enough to catch some interest. It's using a custom GPU accelerated GUI written in C++. Currently implements some interesting features: LSP, terminal, auto-completion, linters, formatters, custom keybindings, plugins and more. It's a hobby project but still intends to be an alternative to other popular code editors like Sublime, Kate, Lapce, Lite XL (and takes inspiration from them).<p>The project was born as a playground for the GUI I'm developing (eepp GUI) and is advanced enough to currently be my main code editor, but it's a work in progress, and many features are still pending. Some minor hints on how to use it:<p>Folders are used as project (and .gitignore is used to ignore files)<p>The wheel icon on the top-right has all the options you need (Ctrl/Cmd + M to show).<p>Some keybidings to navigate any project (navigation is keyboard driven):<p>Ctrl/Cmd + K = Locate Files<p>Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F = Global Search<p>Ctrl/Cmd + Number (Go to tab #)

Show HN: I asked ChatGPT to convert a Chrome ext to a Firefox ext
I told it to create a virtual machine first:<p><pre><code> I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd.
</code></pre>
Then I told it to create a python script to do the conversion:<p><pre><code> {Create and write to the filesystem a python script called convert.py that takes a URL as its first argument. The URL is a chrome extension. The script then converts the extension to a Firefox extension and saves the result in a directory called "res". Make sure the script works with an actual URL to a chrome extension on the Chrome Webstore. It requires you to possibly download the extension first from the URL. Also make sure the generated Firefox extension meets all the requirements and the Chrome to Firefox conversion takes place for all assets in the extension, it includes the content scripts, etc. Only print done to the terminal here when finished.}
</code></pre>
Then ran it with this URL (URL to Google Translate Chrome ext):<p><pre><code> python convert.py "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb?hl=en&gl=BG&authuser=1"
</code></pre>
It actually created a zipped Firefox extension with the manifest file converted correctly, etc.

Show HN: Have voice-only virtual coffees with fellow HN'ers
I'm running several voice-only virtual coffee events on the Discord server in the URL, only for today. The rules are pretty simple:
1. Wait for the "event" to start (see times at the end)
2. If there are no tables with 1 participant, join any one.
3. If there is a table with 1 participant, join that one.
4. When the event ends, all the voice channels are deleted and you have to wait till the next event starts.<p>I initially wanted to build my own web app but then I realised it would be so much easier to just leverage Discord's infrastructure. I also built a bot in a couple hundred lines of Go code (love the language!) to bulk create/delete voice channels.<p>I intentionally left it super basic to validate if there's a need. I personally would love to have virtual networking events, but then again I know I'm somewhat odd as I come from a sales background.<p>If you're interested/want to take part in more of these events, check out my profile where I have some contact options.<p>Anyway, here's the times (each lasts 1 hour):
- 8 AM GMT / 1.30 PM IST / 12 AM PST
- 11 AM GMT / 4.30 PM IST / 3 AM PST
- 2 PM GMT / 7.30 PM IST / 6 AM PST
- 5 PM GMT / 10.30 PM IST / 9 AM PST

Show HN: Instorier – A tool for creating rich scroll-based stories for your site
Hey HN!<p>After 2 years of bootstrapping, we're excited to introduce you to Instorier, a new digital storytelling platform that helps businesses and agencies craft compelling stories using a variety of modules like powerful imagery, videos, maps, and even fully customizable 3D scenes with seamless transitions and motion that sync to the user's scroll position.<p>Our editor allows users to create stories without any web development or coding experience, making it a flexible option for companies looking to tell engaging stories online, whether it's for in-depth feature articles, digital exhibitions, or a company's "About us" page.<p>We created Instorier because we saw a frequent demand for high-quality and advanced storytelling sites in our own agency work, but budgets were often a limiting factor for the client's vision. Our subscription-based pricing model has two tiers: Professional for companies looking to enhance their own storytelling, and Agency for agencies working with customers that have these needs. Early bird pricing is available for both tiers until the end of January.<p>We're looking forward to hearing your feedback on Instorier and any suggestions for how we can improve the platform. Our current roadmap includes things like improving accessibility, making sure stories can render in reader mode and/or without JS enabled, and continuously improving the editor experience.
Happy to share details on the stack if anyone’s curious!
Thanks for checking out Instorier!<p>Founders & Devs,
Bjørn and Daniel

Show HN: URL Snake
Just a little demo I made of a fully functioning game of snake encoded entirely within a valid url (around 1033 bytes of code encoded into a 1464 byte url).
