Show HN: Inflation-adjusted stock charts – Total Real Returns
Here's a little side project I’ve been working on: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/</a> The Total Real Returns chart demonstrates the preservation or growth of real wealth more clearly than conventional (nominal-dollar, price-only) stock charts, because: (1) we include the effects of inflation-diminished purchasing power, and (2) we include the effects of reinvesting dividends from the initial investment.<p>I found it harder to explain the y-axis in words than it was to do the math, so please let me know if you think the "baguettes" explanation on the homepage helps.<p>I was up until 4am ET finishing some features on this, and then at 8:30am ET the BLS released the new CPI numbers through their API: <a href="https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/" rel="nofollow">https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/</a> and I was able to manually re-run my daily cronjob with the new numbers, so it's up to date! If you catch any bugs, please let me know via the “Report a bug” link in the footer of every page.<p>Some FAANG examples: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/META" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/META</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/GOOGL" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/GOOGL</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AMZN" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AMZN</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AAPL" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AAPL</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/NFLX" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/NFLX</a><p>Comparing three Vanguard treasury funds, showing vividly the impact of bond duration (short-term, intermediate-term, long-term) on both risk and reward: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFISX,VFITX,VUSTX" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFISX,VFITX,VUSTX</a>

Show HN: Kreya, a Postman Alternative
Hi HN! For over a year we've been working on Kreya. At first, it only supported gRPC, because the alternative tools (eg. BloomRPC) were very limited in their functionality. Since then, we have added many features, trying hard to keep the UI clean while still supporting advanced use cases.<p>Yesterday, we released Kreya v1.8, which added support for REST!<p>In our opinion, Kreya is a good alternative to the existing tools out there. Sure, it may not support all the features that Postman has. But we think that Kreya has some innovative approaches (eg. authentication or API importers) that users may find interesting.

Tell HN: We are trying to get tail calls into the WebAssembly standard
WebAssembly is a modern bytecode supported by all browsers and designed to be a compiler target for a wide variety of programming languages.<p>To effectively support some forms of Functional Programming support for tail-calls has been proposed as an extension to the WebAssembly standard.<p>This proposal has reached Phase3 of the standardization process years ago, but has since stalled.<p>Phase3 is known as "the implementation phase" and the prerequisite for advancing the proposal to Phase4 is to have support in two different browser engines. V8/Chrome support has been available for a long time, so another engine is required.<p>To unblock this situation we have contributed full support for WebAssembly Tail Calls to JavaScript/WebKit/Safari. The PR is available here:<p><a href="https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/2065" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/2065</a><p>An in-depth article about the challenges of implementing this feature is also available. This is intended both as documentation for our contribution, but also as a general explainer about how tails calls actually work, with a particular focus on stack space management.<p><a href="https://leaningtech.com/fantastic-tail-calls-and-how-to-implement-them/" rel="nofollow">https://leaningtech.com/fantastic-tail-calls-and-how-to-impl...</a>
Show HN: Typewaiter, the typewriter that doesn't wait
Howdy HN, just recently made this silly typewriter variant and think some of you might enjoy it so thought I'd share.<p>Here the cursor takes no heed of what you're typing and just advances at a steady pace, with the effect that typing something reasonable-looking requires you to type at a very steady rhythm. There's also the bonus that the space character is no longer needed—you can (and kind of have to) just wait—so the keyboard minimalists among us can shave even more space off their devices. Only desktop for now.<p>It's an interesting contrast to the last one I made—which requires you to do all the heavy lifting in moving the cursor position yourself—<a href="https://oisinmoran.com/typewriter" rel="nofollow">https://oisinmoran.com/typewriter</a>

Show HN: Lldap, a Simplified LDAP Server
Hi everyone! For the past year I've been working on a simple LDAP server for user management, targeted at self-hosted servers.<p>The idea is that OpenLDAP is a pain to install, configure and manage, and on top of that you need a frontend if you want a web UI.<p>LDAP instead provides a minimalistic LDAP server that supports the subset of LDAP needed for user management and authentication, with almost no configuration required, and a nice UI/API in front of it.<p>We just released version 0.4 (and 0.3 actually) and it should now be stable enough to use it yourself!<p>We've had some people using it for tests as well.
