I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard

Hi HN,<p>During lockdown I took up the keyboard hobby but I couldn't find anything I liked the aesthetic of. So I set out to design my own keyboard from scratch that shunned the gamer look in favour of a more minimal, serious design.<p>I've built several prototypes but I would love to get some feedback from the HN community.

Show HN: GraphJSON – Easily log and analyze events using ClickHouse

Hi HN,<p>My name is JR and I had a need for a simple analytics solution that allowed me to store (timestamp, json) logs and run SQL over them.<p>It was hard to find the right solution. Solutions like Mixpanel and Amplitude optimized for particular report types. Whereas solutions like Snowflake, BigQuery, etc. required a lot of setup.<p>I built GraphJSON to fit in the middle. I strived for the ease of use of tools like Mixpanel and Amplitude, but wanted to ensure affordances were built to support use cases that big data warehouses enable.<p>Under the hood, GraphJSON is powered by ClickHouse. This enables really efficient disk compression and fast queries. In many ways, you can think of GraphJSON as an easy way to explore ClickHouse without having to run and maintain your own clusters.<p>I'd love for you to give it a try. You can generally start logging your data in under a minute. From there, you can either use the UI tooling to create graphs in a no-code way. Or if you're more advanced, you can use the SQL editor to do any query you can think of!

Exponential Smoothing: faster and more accurate than NeuralProphet

We benchmarked on more than 55K series and show that ETS improves MAPE and sMAPE forecast accuracy by 32% and 19%, respectively, with 104x less computational time over NeuralProphet.<p>We hope this exercise helps the forecast community avoid adopting yet another overpromising and unproven forecasting method.

Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator

Hi HN<p>It also supports percentages, dates and variables.<p>I've been working on this alone for a few years now, so would love to get some feedback.

A developper friendly (web) comic format

Hey HN<p>Using two online tools and some HTML/CSS I have been able to create a (web) comic despite the fact that I am conpletely unable to draw.<p>The first tool is <a href="https://www.pixelartcss.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pixelartcss.com/</a> which allows me to convert video game tiles to CSS.<p>The second one is <a href="https://www.thecodingfox.com/interactive/pixel-world-editor/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thecodingfox.com/interactive/pixel-world-editor/</a> which was kindly made by TheCodingFox for me. It allows to combine the output of pixelartcss on a grid. The ouput is then exported as an HTML file that I can reuse.<p>As a result the illustrations you can see are actually only css and HTML. The comic does not make use of any images such as ong or jpg.

Show HN: Cookieless Conversion Attribution with Pathview

Morning HN.<p>I worked on a cloud CMS and then pivoted an analytics feature to a standalone SaaS. Pathview focuses on the conversion path rather than general analytics. I want to help users optimize conversions.<p>It doesn’t use cookies, contains 160-characters of JavaScript, and leverages HTTP Messaging for a modern take on an old-school analytics approach.<p>I’m close to launching a public beta test and could use a sanity check. Any advice, feedback, or questions for this first-time developer?<p>-sb

Show HN: I made a local development, debugging and hotreload tool for AWS Lambda

MerLoc is a live AWS Lambda function development and debugging tool. MerLoc allows you to run AWS Lambda functions on your local while they are still part of a flow in the AWS cloud remote.<p>MerLoc makes it possible to - test your function locally without deploy to the AWS Lambda environment (so no wait for build, package and deploy) - debug your function by putting breakpoints from your IDE - hot-reload updated function on your local automatically to apply changes automatically (so again no wait for build, package and deploy) - run the individual function locally while it is still part of flow shown above and use real requests from the AWS Lambda environment

Show HN: I made a tool to hide HN usernames and reduce bias

Hey HN, I made this tool after I read a pretty interesting pg essay - <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html</a><p>He talks about changing some HN usernames' colors to orange and then deciding to revert back<p>So I thought it could be interesting to remove usernames entirely. This Chrome Extension just replaces HN usernames with question marks. I've enjoyed using it so far myself and I'm curious what you think about the concept?
