Show HN: KittyCal – minimalist PWA calendar app for couples
Hi Fellow Hackers!<p>I'm happy to share with you KittyCal, an installable calendar web app I made over the past two months. Existing calendar apps often focus on scheduling and require many steps to create one event. KittyCal, on the other hand, removes hourly scheduling and keeps everything on one screen.<p>How does it work? Just enter your email address, and we will send you a pair of calendar links (blue and red). There is no login process, click the magic link or scan the QR code to access your calendar. You can then add the page to home screen and use it like a native app.<p>Last year, I built a bare bones version of KittyCal for my partner and myself because we wanted a private calendar that launches instantly for casual note-taking. It's worked well for us since, and I'm hoping this multi-tenant version can benefit more people with similar needs.<p>Please try it out and let me know what you think!

Show HN: Candix, a confidential, reverse recruiting platform
It's a site where you describe your ideal next job and get approached by top-paying startups. It’s confidential, ensuring that your current employer won’t find out.<p>It's free for candidates, while we charge companies for access to the pool. They’re charged a subscription fee, not a traditional success fee, because it’s the only way to remain forever candidate-centric and not obsessed with placing profiles at any cost, like agencies are.<p>I'm opposed to the AI trends in recruitment. Recruitment is opaque and needs more humanity in the process, not less. Consequently, we're stubborn about keeping humans involved at every level, from onboarding to support. This results in high operational costs, which we are working hard to streamline.<p>Confidentiality is what truly sets Candix apart. It's a tricky concept in recruitment, though, as it needs to be balanced with recruiters' need to know about your background to make hiring decisions. Our approach is to protect access to the pool with NDAs and limit profile visibility to relevant companies only. Additionally, we limit points of access to one per company and thoroughly monitor all recruiter activity on the site to prevent any leakage.<p>For those who are not open to receiving offers, one interesting feature is the option to mark your profile as unavailable. Interested companies won’t reach out, but they will be able to place an alert on your profile to be notified when this changes, effectively boosting your future search.<p>We operate in the US and European markets, helping people connect with over seventy companies, such as OpenAI and Ramp.<p>What do you think about the tool and its positioning?
Show HN: Three.js mirror cube that stays in sync
Hello HN,<p>Mirror Cube is a Three.js based 3D model of a Rubiks cube variant. It keeps unscrambling itself doing random moves, but the moves are (ehm.. should be) synced across all devices.<p>I built this over one week and I thought you might find it interesting.<p>Let me know what you think and if you find any bugs!<p>Martin

Show HN: webhooked.email (2023)
Hey HN,<p>I built this tool a while ago, and it looks like it's finally getting some traction lately -- wanted to post it up again here for anyone who's looking for a dead simple solution for webhooks that email you.<p>For those who say new products are hard to trust ("you never know how long they'll be around!") -- this one has been casually running for just over 13 months now!<p><a href="https://webhooked.email" rel="nofollow">https://webhooked.email</a>
Show HN: Plain Vanilla – a tutorial website for vanilla web development
This site explains how to do web development without any tools or frameworks, relying only on the browser and web standards. I made it because I couldn’t find a single place online that put together all the right information in the way that I liked. The site itself is of course also vanilla and open sourced on github.

Show HN: Engine Core – open-source LLM chat management and tool call framework
Show HN: Ell – A command-line interface for LLMs written in Bash
Hi HN!<p>I've created a CLI tool called "ell" that allows you to interact with LLMs directly from your terminal. Designed with the Unix philosophy in mind, ell is simple, modular, and extensible. You can easily pipe input and output to integrate with other tools. Its templates and hook-based plugins enable you to customize and extend its functionality to suit any needs. Check out the README for usage instructions and examples.<p>I developed this tool because existing solutions often felt too heavy, with many dependencies, or they weren't friendly to piping and customization. I, on the contrary, wrote in almost pure Bash with least dependencies. Additionally, I found a lack of tools that could read past terminal output as context. Imagine encountering an issue in your terminal and being able to directly ask an LLM for help with a simple command—this is now possible with ell (see the demo video).<p>Known limitations:<p>- To maintain simplicity and efficiency, jq is used for JSON parsing.<p>- Cannot avoid curl to sending HTTPS requests. If only there were SSL / TLS support in `/dev/tcp/`!<p>- Perl is used to handle terminal escape sequences because regex in Bash does not support looking around.<p>- Markdown syntax highlighting is not perfect due to the need for streaming output. It relies on a simple state machine instead of a full parser, which may produce falsy results.<p>- Other known issues are listed in Github Issues. Please help add more!<p>I welcome any criticism and suggestions, whether it's about the idea or code!

Show HN: I cloned HN to make a simple portfolio page
I figured, "what better way to look at a list of (hopefully) inspiring projects?"<p>The upvotes work and are globally synced.
