Show HN: America – Road Trip Simulator
APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more.<p>Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.

Show HN: Metlo (YC S21) – An Open Source API Security Tool
Metlo - An Open Source API Security Tool<p>Hey folks! Excited to share what we’ve been working on for the last couple months. Metlo is a self hosted, open source first API security platform that inventories, tests and protects your API endpoints:<p>- We inventory your endpoints by scanning API traffic and detecting all your endpoints along with the sensitive data they contain.<p>- We generate information your security team may find useful like Open API Specs and risk scores for each endpoint.<p>- After this we discover vulnerabilities like unauthenticated endpoints returning sensitive data or missing HSTS headers.<p>- Finally Metlo detects any anomalous behavior on sensitive endpoints in real time so you can detect 0-day attacks as they're happening.<p>We have a demo environment to play around with here <a href="http://demo.metlo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://demo.metlo.com/</a>. Also, Here's a demo video if you would like a quick walk through of the product :) <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/349c9e5f267741e9a0fcd2dfd1f9956f" rel="nofollow">https://www.loom.com/share/349c9e5f267741e9a0fcd2dfd1f9956f</a>

Customize it from our user friendly nocode UI and deploy<p>Optional Step: Upload your own contract to share with others or reach out to us if you don’t find the smart contract you want.<p>Why use Cookbook.dev?<p>Reduce development cost
Faster time to build
Simple and easy to use UI
Save $$ on security audits

Show HN: Circumflex, browse HN in your terminal
Some two years ago, I found myself spending a lot of time in the terminal between learning vim and discovering new command line tools. I was surprised to see that the niche of HN clis was (relatively) small, and so I decided to write my own command line tool for browsing HN called `circumflex`(`clx`).<p>`clx` is written in Go using Bubble Tea[1]. You can read the comment section or the linked article in reader mode in the pager `less`.<p>Using `lesskey` to add custom keybindings, the replies can be collapsed and expanded in real-time (but not individual replies, only all replies at once). Behind the scenes I am appending invisible unicode characters to each line so that I can use the custom keybindings to filter them out. The same technique is used to allow for jumping between top-level comments.<p>I spent a lot of time thinking about syntax highlighting and finding relevant bits to highlight while also not going overboard with colors. The end result is highlighting of things I find useful for providing context in the comment section, like indicating parent poster and original poster, coloring references, coloring indentations as well as formatting YC startups.<p>Other quality of life features include adding submissions as favorites (it is stored as a pretty-printed json so you can check it into your vcs to allow for readable diffs). Submissions are marked as read and new comments are indicated with a bullet point.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea</a>

Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Cofounder of Obsidian here. We're excited to announce Obsidian 1.0 is live!<p>Obsidian 1.0 introduces two big changes: a UI overhaul and an new tabbed interface. We've put a lot of care into making the app more approachable and more accessible. We've also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows, and many details.<p>We got our first private beta users from a comment under a HN thread about org-roam [1], and our waiting list was an innocent Google Form. Good times!<p>Our initial launch on HN was over two years ago [2], when terms like "second brain" and "tools for thought" were still in their infancy. Since then, the landscape has continued to evolve and new ideas are sprouting in the space every day. Obsidian has always embraced its "hacker" nature and thrives off its community of tinkerers. We now have over 670 plugins that push the envelope of what's possible in the app.<p>We want to continue to foster that same hacker spirit, but at the same time, we want to provide a polished product that can stand on its own. In the last several months, we've expanded the team and refocused ourselves on providing a product that's polished and easy to use.<p>We have big plans to continue making Obsidian the best and most refined thought-processing app for decades to come. Obsidian 1.0 is just the start!<p>Special credits go to Stephan Ango (@kepano) for the redesign and Liam Cain for tirelessly polishing this release.<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22767658" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22767658</a>
