Show HN: General Task, a free task manager for builders (beta)
Hello everyone! I left my job to start General Task a little over a year ago, and have been building a better free task manager with a small team.<p>We aim to be the best place where one can find what’s next in their workday and we integrate with a number of different services to help do that. We’re still in the early stages of a beta, but so far you can:<p>- Create/edit tasks with due dates, priorities, and folders<p>- Drag tasks onto your calendar to block off time to do them (syncs with GCal)<p>- Sync with Linear (JIRA coming soon) to see tasks assigned to you<p>- Sync with Github to see your PRs<p>- Integrate with Slack to make tasks directly from Slack<p>What sets us apart?<p>We know there are tons of task managers out there. We believe ours is different because it is tailor-made for engineers, with integrations for Github PRs, Linear and Slack. We also support dragging tasks onto your calendar, which is usually only found in premium paid products, while our consumer product is free and always will be.<p>Our mission is to make knowledge workers more productive, and we believe the best way to do that is by focusing on software engineers and achieving mass adoption of a free consumer product before releasing a paid product for businesses.<p>Let us know what you think!<p>NOTE: We currently only support Google sign-in, sorry about that! We will be adding more login options soon. If you don't want to sign in with Google, you can see a quick 1 minute demo of our features here: <a href="https://youtu.be/NUOIH2On_Nw" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/NUOIH2On_Nw</a>

Show HN: A color picker for named web colors
I had this idea kicking around in my head for quite a while. Took an evening to make this, and a short morning to polish it a bit. So here it is!

Show HN: Cujo's Curated SIDs
I've listened to SID music on and off since the 80s, and mostly from early games and demos. Lately, I have explored more recent music. There are online lists of peoples favorite SID music, and online players, see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Because I have different tastes, I had the motivation to make my own list and UX. So from january 2020 to september 2022, I listened through the HVSC having over 50k songs, resulting in a list of 600-700 favorites. I put together a UX so I can easily access them. This project is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I guess that many others here would also enjoy it. Please let me know if you have suggestions for songs I should reconsider adding, or some feedback on the UX.<p>[1] Show HN: Online SID-Player with spectrum viewer (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6750701" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6750701</a>)<p>[2] High Voltage SID Collection – Commodore 64 music for the masses (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28184104" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28184104</a>)<p>[3] Dial-a-Sid (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27735256" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27735256</a>)<p>[4] The Sid Collection (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32368634" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32368634</a>)<p>[5] WebGL SID-emulator in C++ compiled to JavaScript with Emscripten (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7270025" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7270025</a>)<p>[6] DeepSID: online SID (Commodore 64 music) player (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17055344" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17055344</a>)
Show HN: Illa – An open-source alternative to Retool
Hey HNs:<p>This is Vincent from the ILLA team. I'm sure you guys see tons of "Open-source" and "Alternative to Retool" these days. I won't deny Retool is a great product, and so are many open-source competitors such as Appsmith, Budibase, Tooljet etc.<p>However, what makes ILLA so special? What advantages does ILLA have that allow users to choose ILLA instead of others?<p>Well, I would like to answer those questions to all folks at HN one by one.<p>First, we are similar to Retool, or Appsmith but we have many different our own features. We are a true open-source project all the folks here can check and review our Code here: <a href="https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder</a>. We believe as developers the basic ethic is to be honest, especially in "open-source" circumstances. You have to be honest with your team, users, and contributors in order to grow. Therefore, we welcome all the contributors from around the world to build ILLA together, this is a promising project and won't let you down. With your code, we can build the next DevTool together instead of just making some cash.<p>Ok, so maybe some folks here would say that I don't care about "Code Integrity", and there are many different options such as Appsmith, Budibase, and Tooljet. Why should I use ILLA here? Well, we believe the difference between animals and homo sapiens is that people know to use tools to improve their work efficiencies. Our whole team members are developer backgrounds and we know many itch issues we would like to solve for developers. So maybe our newest 1.3.3 version is not good enough, but just give us a little more time and I'm you will see the differences.<p>In the end, We are also "open-source" first. We are willing to collaborate with different open-source alternatives as much as we can. For example, we just partnered with PingCAP a few weeks ago. We will support many other open-source databases such as MindsDB, Supabase, etc soon. We can also support many other open-source alternatives, if you are interested, you can always find us in our Discord community.<p>Our Repo again: <a href="https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder</a>

Show HN: Haxophone
I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.
