Show HN: The Brutalist Report – A rolling snapshot of the day’s headlines
Hi HN. I was inspired by so many other folks also longing for a return to the old web that I put together a service to scratch my own itch: An extremely fast headline aggregator done in 1990s style HTML.<p>Sharing it with you all for those of you that also would enjoy this now esoteric style.

Show HN: Prisma Python – A fully typed ORM for Python
I created this ORM to fill a gap in the Python ecosystem. Due to the nature of typing in Python there are no other Python ORMs that can provide correct type hints. Prisma Python manages to work around this by auto-generating python types.<p>Aside from static type checking, providing type hints means that you will get autocomplete suggestions for you which for me is the killer feature for this ORM (see the GIF in the README for an example).<p>It's also built on top of Prisma, a next-generation ORM for TypeScript which means that the core query building and connection handling has been battle tested, getting around a potential concern with adopting a new ORM.<p>Prisma Python also supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, MariaDB and more!

Show HN: Newser, utility written in go to generate a pdf with news content
I've gotten myself a Supernote A5X (awesome device btw) and since it doesn't have a web browser or anything I've wanted to have a way to read news on it. I've hacked together this utility in a couple of days and it works wonders for me personally so I thought it might be interesting to others. It can also be used as a noise free newspaper generator as it removes images/ads/links and other noisy stuff.<p>https://github.com/lnenad/newser<p>(there is a screenshot of the first page of the generated pdf)<p>It scrapes (news) websites for content and puts it into a pdf. For me the pdf location is my dropbox supernote directory so my setup is to run this thing daily and have a fresh pdf with news whenever I want it.<p>It's rough around the edges probably (currently added crawl support for verge, ars, engadget) but I think it's a good base so if anyone wants to contribute feel free. Some of the stuff I want to add is pictures (maybe), maybe parse the text html to include font styling and other stuff.<p>I've tried to generalize it as much as possible so the crawling is pretty much automatic and is controlled by a config file where you define "rules" on how to parse the website.
