Show HN: Barfi – Python flow based programming with GUI
What? Another flow based programming library for Python?<p>Yes.<p>All the FBP libraries out there for Python need to be run as a self contained application. They are not components that could be integrated into your existing data workflows. Barfi, on the other hand can be integrated. At the moment it has a Streamlit component that you can use in your Streamlit apps.<p>Currently, I am working on a Jupyter notebook widget.

Show HN: RemoteFriendly – A remote job board inspired by HN
Hi HN,<p>I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and any feedback is appreciated.<p>I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.<p>Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up tomorrow

Show HN: C3 – A C alternative that looks like C

Show HN: PDFs that are readable by human eyes only
Hi, OP here. A friend was involved in a custody battle and was afraid his ex was going to leak all of his discovery documents on the internet and he asked if there was something I could do to make it harder for bots/crawlers to find sensitive information. Originally I was going to turn all of his docs to image based PDFs, but those get large fast and are easy to OCR.<p>So I found a post musing about altering fonts/glyphs so that it <i>looks</i> like english, but the actual character being seen by the pdf reader is a non-english character. As such, when you try to OCR these files, it doesn't see any images and can't convert it.<p>I figured it had some potential uses and maybe you fine folks can identify other use cases. I'll be monitoring this post most of the day.
