Show HN: I made a tool to HTTPS your localhost
It's been 4 month since I work on Lokal full-time, I finally feel confident to share it publicly on YCombinator.<p>Lokal is a software for Tunneling, Local Development, and HTTP Debugging, It's support HTTP, TCP and UDP Tunnel.<p>The different with other tunneling solution is that Lokal has mDNS support with https enabled by default, while other might be only offer public-facing tunnel service.<p>On the latest version 0.3.0, Lokal support Self-hosted Lokal Tunnel Server, which allow you to use your own domain and your own VPS, allow you to have Premium but self-hosted Tunneling Solution.<p>Download -> Lokal.so/download
Self-hosting Tutorial -> <a href="https://docs.lokal.so/lokal-server/installation/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.lokal.so/lokal-server/installation/</a>

Show HN: Moocable – find people studying the same online course/book
Hey, everyone<p>I made a website that lets you find study partners/groups based on the specific course/book you are studying.<p>It's 100% free + no registration required.<p>Why:
I know there are many subreddits for finding study partners. But, one of the biggest reasons we can't find the right partner/group is lack of clarity.<p>Most posts that I read on Reddit were something like:
"I'm interested in programming. Let's study Python together..." - That's not a clear goal.<p>But, when you say
"Let's study the <i>Python for Everybody course on Coursera</i>. I'm from Mumbai, India, and I'm looking for study partners in the* timezone (UTC+5:30). I'm fluent in Hindi language. I have 2 years of experience in C++<i>, so I understand the fundamentals of programming. Happy to host the group and contribute</i>" - that will lead to higher quality engagement.<p>It's also difficult to search + filter posts on Reddit, based on my learning requirements.<p>Keeping all these pain points in mind, I've built Moocable, where you can search & filter posts based on the course/book you're learning + timezones + languages + level of experience.<p>Lastly, you can use it to discover new learning materials. Some of you might have used <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.classcentral.com/</a><p>I'm building a similar library for Moocable, you can easily search and discover new learning materials.<p>If you are looking for study partners, give it a try!<p>P.S.: I've manually filled the first ~100 posts. Each post is 100% authentic, scraped from subreddits/Coursera forums/niche websites.

Tell HN: I made a shareable one-page site on how to fix the CrowdStrike issue
Hey everyone,<p>I just created a shareable one-page site that provides a step-by-step guide to fix the CrowdStrike issue. You can check it out here: <a href="https://howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com" rel="nofollow">https://howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com</a><p>The website is open-source, and you can find the code on GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/GorvGoyl/howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com">https://github.com/GorvGoyl/howtofixcrowdstrikeissue.com</a>). It's built using Next.js, Tailwind, and deployed on Vercel.<p>I hope this helps people who are currently affected by the global CrowdStrike issue. Feel free to contribute or suggest improvements!

Show HN: ProgressLine – Track commands progress in a compact one-line format
A bit about me:
Originally, I'm an iOS developer, but over time, I became interested in CLI and DevEx, which ultimately led to the creation of my first CLI utility in Swift.<p>Project creation story:
I enjoy interactive and functional command-line interfaces with good UX, which often includes beautifully displaying the progress of ongoing operations. I wanted the ability to show a nice progress status for any command or script, but at the time, I couldn't find any solutions that suited my needs. Most community offerings are good libraries for specific programming languages. So, I decided this was the perfect moment to test my skills and Swift's capabilities in writing CLI utilities.<p>In my opinion, Swift did an excellent job (although it doesn't have as rich a set of relevant libraries as Rust, for example).<p>The main challenge turned out to be cross-platform support:<p>- Currently (Swift 5.10), Swift doesn't support full cross-compilation, making it impossible to build a Linux version on macOS. However, this capability will be available in Swift 6! This limitation forced me to use Docker, slightly complicating the release flow.<p>- Unlike macOS, Linux doesn't come with pre-installed Swift libraries (obviously), so they need to be embedded (statically linked) into the binary file, which significantly increases its size, even after stripping. I hope the strip process will become more efficient in the future.<p>Overall, I'm pleased with the result and would be thrilled if my small utility proves useful to others. :)
