Show HN: ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
hi, this is a project I've been working on and off for the last three months,
it's my first non-trivial, non-hello-world, actually useful (at least to me) go
project. it would be very nice if you could just try the program and see if it
works on your setup!<p>the readme[0] explains how it works, why I wrote it and how it fits in my
"command-line centric" computing environment (there is also a video demo[1] :)).<p>if you know go, feel free to take a look at the code and review it! I'm still
pretty much new to go and I'd love to hear opinions, feedback and tips from more
seasoned go developers :)<p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/MarcoLucidi01/ytcast#ytcast" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MarcoLucidi01/ytcast#ytcast</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07aWOpi8DVk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07aWOpi8DVk</a>

Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Hi HN,<p>Vincent here, maker of Streamline 4.0. I spent the past 12 years perfecting icons and making the largest sets on the internet.<p>The 5 open-source sets are:<p>1. User Interface Icon Set (1,000 icons)<p>2. Streamline Flex (500 icons)<p>3. Streamline Flat (500 icons)<p>4. Covid Icons (147 icons)<p>5. Nasty Icons (45 icons)

Show HN: hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors
hue.tools was created after spending way to much time trying to find the right tools when working with colors.<p>It's an attempt to create a simple but useful toolbox for common color related tasks and problems.<p>While it's in no way perfect or provides the tools for every use case, it has served me well in the last few months and I hope it will be useful for some of you as well.

Show HN: StealthDrop – Anonymous crypto airdrops using zero-knowledge proofs
Hi HN,<p>We (myself, Adhyyan1252 and yush_g) are undergrad students that hacked out this side project last month during Hack Lodge[1] (the ideas and many of the underlying circuits for which came from the 0xPARC community[2])! We’re extremely excited to share this new primitive.<p>Besides the technical challenges building this project that folks here would find interesting (fixing the ZK proof compiler, modifying nodeJS V8 params etc.), we think this is a very novel use case for ZK tech, and ECDSA inside ZK-SNARKs is a starting point that unlocks many other ideas! :D<p>A summarized version of our README, with more thoughts on why you would want to enable this in the first place, is also in this Twitter thread[3]!<p>[1]: <a href="https://hacklodge.org" rel="nofollow">https://hacklodge.org</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://0xparc.org" rel="nofollow">https://0xparc.org</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://twitter.com/0xparc/status/1493363943036923912" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/0xparc/status/1493363943036923912</a>

Show HN: Svix – Open-Source Webhooks Service Written in Rust
We are super excited to be open sourcing the Svix webhooks dispatcher!
Svix makes it easy to send webhooks. You send your payload to Svix, and Svix takes care of deliverability, retries, security, and more.<p>You can read more about why we built Svix in the original Show HN[0], though the gist is: our customers wanted webhooks to build integrations and workflows around our product, but we weren't willing to commit the engineering time, resources and ongoing maintenance required of a webhook delivery system.<p>Why open source?
On a personal level, I've been an open source maintainer and contributor for many years, and I care a lot about open source. So open-sourcing the Svix dispatcher was one of the first tickets I created on our issue tracker.
As for the company, webhooks are currently a mess, everyone does them differently, with differing levels of quality and features supported. This is something we really want to fix. The Svix service is already making a difference there (we're lucky enough to call some really cool companies our customers), and open-sourcing the dispatcher is the next logical step to increase our impact.<p>Why Rust?
It's really fast, it makes writing secure and correct code easier, it's easier to deploy and distribute (one static binary), and it's a lot more fun. :)<p>Webhooks are really cool, and I absolutely love what they enable. They make the web compose-able, interconnected, and enable people to automate a lot of their work! Our goal is to make them easy, reliable, and consistent, so that more services offer them and they are easier to consume.<p>I'd love to hear your feedback! We've incorporated most of the comments we got the last time[0] (thanks again everyone!), and we would love to know how we can improve the product further. Got any suggestions?<p>Homepage: <a href="https://www.svix.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.svix.com</a><p>Repo: <a href="https://github.com/svix/svix-webhooks/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/svix/svix-webhooks/</a><p>Docs: <a href="https://docs.svix.com/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.svix.com/</a><p>API reference: <a href="https://api.svix.com/" rel="nofollow">https://api.svix.com/</a><p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26399672" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26399672</a>
