Show HN: I've built a C# IDE, Runtime, and AppStore inside Excel
The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update.<p>The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component.<p>Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies to use. It unlocks most features, but it isn't intended for companies with more than 5 employees or over $1M in annual revenue.<p>I would love to hear your feedback and am happy to answer any technical questions about how QueryStorm is implemented.

Show HN: Todo list inspired by GitHub’s contribution calendar
Made this todo list + calendar heat map over a couple of weekends, so its rough, but should be valuable enough to be used.<p>Currently stores data in local storage, but I'm working on persisting data with auth + a database.<p>Features coming in the couple weeks: (1) Search, (2) Categories.<p>Hope you find it useful!

Show HN: Infisical – open-source secrets manager for developers
Two months ago, we left our jobs at AWS and Figma to continue building Infisical.<p>It is an open-source end-to-end encrypted tool that helps you manage developer secrets across your team, devices, and infrastructure.<p>During the previous Show HN, we got a lot of useful feedback which we’ve been iterating on A LOT!<p>In the past month, we’ve been pretty much working 24/7, and we added:
- Integrations for Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Actions, Render, and Fly.io
- Public API
- User activity logs
- Point-in-time recovery and secret versioning
- Custom environments
- Kubernetes operator (<a href="https://infisical.com/docs/integrations/platforms/kubernetes">https://infisical.com/docs/integrations/platforms/kubernetes</a>)
And made lots of other performance improvements both on the frontend and backend.<p>Our repo is published under the MIT license so any developer can use Infisical. The goal is to not charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for some enterprise features as well as providing a hosted version and support.<p>In the coming weeks, we plan to add features like key rotation, alerts, and secret groups - as well as continue adding more integrations.<p>Give it a try (<a href="https://github.com/Infisical/infisical">https://github.com/Infisical/infisical</a>)! We’d love to hear what you think!<p>Main website: <a href="https://infisical.com/">https://infisical.com/</a>

Show HN: Turning books into chatbots with GPT-3
So far I've used it to reference ideas from books I've read before.<p>I've also used it to explore books I have not read before by asking the bot questions.<p>Some people have told me they use it like a reading companion. They pause while reading the book if they have a question, and use Konjer to answer it.

Show HN: Shite – little hot-reloadin' static site maker from shell
Or more precisely, <i>my</i> little site maker... It is a personal tool that I thoroughly enjoyed making, and enjoy using to write my website <<a href="https://evalapply.org" rel="nofollow">https://evalapply.org</a>>.<p>A caveat before any more; nobody was supposed to promote this insanity.<p>Like, terrible things have been done involving inotify and xdotool. <i>But</i>. It showed up on HN some months ago. That too while it was still, shall we say, fermenting. It got "done" some time thence, and <i>of course</i> one could not let the half-past just <i>be</i>. So here we are, for better or worse.<p>Thank you HN mods for helping me repost! _\\//<p>The README explains all, animated GIFs and whatnot. Some assorted highlights:<p><pre><code> - shite's, ah, "business logic" (except templates) is about 300 lines of Bash, written in Functional Programming style [^]. Pipeline all the things!
- The innards won't surprise Perl/PHP/Shell gentleperson hackers from the last century.
- The local hot reloading workflow is surprisingly nice, and occasionally hilarious! No JavaScript needed.
- Full rebuilds are low performance and that's fine :)
- Pandoc is great.
- Sometimes sed and regex is exactly the HTML parser you need. *Very* sometimes.
- stdio buffering can mess you up
- jq -Rr @html # escapes HTML; what?!
</code></pre>
... and all sorts of other stuff noted in the README and inline docs.<p>[^] because shell ain't a bad place to FP... <a href="https://www.evalapply.org/posts/shell-aint-a-bad-place-to-fp-part-1-doug-mcilroys-pipeline/" rel="nofollow">https://www.evalapply.org/posts/shell-aint-a-bad-place-to-fp...</a><p>---<p>P.S.The commit history stops at 3-odd months ago, because I've been using a private fork for day-to-day content drafting, publishing, and layout tweaks. The "business logic" is by and large the same as the public version linked here.

Companies hiring remote software engineers anywhere in the world
Hi folks. Remote Rocketship is my side project that searches the internet for remote jobs.<p>A dev friend of mine in South Africa was recently searching for a remote job and was complaining how most companies will only hire you if you're based in certain countries. So I ended up putting together this list of companies that I found that don't care where you're based.<p>I hope it's useful!
