Show HN: Scribe, a Go library for writing, running, and generating CI pipelines
Hi there. This is a passion project of mine I started after spending many painful hours working on CI pipelines. The general idea is that I wanted to stop making flimsy scripts in build & release pipelines and start writing software.<p>I'm happy to answer any questions. Please let me know what you think of the idea and if there's anything you'd like to see.

Show HN: Zazow – Generative Art Toy (fractals, spirograph, satori, etc.)
Im finally ready to share a fun side project that I've been working on.<p>For 20 years, Ive been fascinated with Mandelbrot fractals. Back in the day, I made a MacOS9 app that rendered them, and I missed it. So, I decided to bring it up to the modern age and build a website to explore this and other similar fractals.<p>In the process, I discovered some other types of generative art that looked fun, so I made those too. One is a spirograph, another is similar to an old AfterDark screensaver called Satori (anyone remember that?). Others draw paint splatters and random squiggly lines. The user is given a bunch of interactive settings to control how the artwork is generated.<p>Im hoping to continue adding different styles of generative art to the website over time. Its a fun, relaxing project to work on and I hope other people enjoy using it to create pleasing images.

Show HN: RawInputViewer – Examine how games receive inputs from Windows
This is my third ever GUI programming project -- I've only ever done any sort of programming in AutoIt as I'm entirely self-taught via their docs/tutorials. I've only just started learning about control flow and structuring of GUI apps really recently, so you might find that the data access patterns in my source code to be a mess as I wrote them before learning about those concepts.

Show HN: Formie – an open source (WIP) form website made with pure HTML/JS/CSS
Hey HN,<p>First time submitter here.<p>After a FOSS related interaction required me to use Google Forms 9 months, I wondered on why no such FOSS tool existed and decided to build it myself. I aimed the site to be for people like me, so no telemetry and minimal JS was the goal. I know this is rather small and incomplete compared to other projects but I've thought you folk might be interested.<p>Not sure if it breaks the pure part, but the site also uses Flask.<p>If you're lucky, you might find the app alive at: <a href="https://formie.div72.xyz" rel="nofollow">https://formie.div72.xyz</a>.
Show HN: Terrabook – Replit for Infrastructure
Hi HN, one of the founders here. We were thinking hard on what would lower the entry barrier / smoothen the learning curve for infrastructure. It's got to be easy to build so something visual probably; and it's got to be "real" so perhaps some kind of infra-as-code underneath. We experimented a lot with the low-code angle (the most recent OpsFlow which we got tons of feedback on from HN - thank you!!)<p>And then it hit us. With python, there's a huge difference in ease of use between a Jupyter notebook and locally run python code, even though the code is the same. So we don't even need to hide the code, as long as it is easy to write. Replit demonstrates the same concept even more vividly; but we thought we'd borrow the blocks idea from Jupyter / Google Colab.<p>This is how Terrabook came to be - just blocks of Terraform really. The key thing is that they are pre-filled, and you can write whatever you want.<p>a. Mix and match pre built terraform.
b. Modify pre built blocks to create your own custom terraform
c. Deploy to AWS in one click.<p>We also added templates for frontend, backend & databases - so you just click a button and get a working piece.<p>HN has been a constant source of constructive feedback for us, and we would be extremely grateful for insight on how you feel TerraBook is. Feel free to drop your harshest feedback in the comments below!
Turn spreadsheets into website designs
Hi HN members,<p>I've been facing this problem recently. As a startup founder, I am managing a lot of Google Sheets. I want to hire a developer to convert it to custom websites but I couldn't find a place I could get it designed.<p>I decided to solve it myself. I tried this out with one company and they were quite happy with the solution. So I'm opening it up to everyone.<p>I'd love to see if anyone else has the same problem.

Show HN: Qboard, a drawing app with Vim-style keybindings
I was frustrated with drawing apps where the eraser was E and the pen was P. Often, when I'm drawing, I want to quickly erase and then switch back to the pen. As one of my hands is on my mouse or tablet, I have to use my other hand to reach across the keyboard. I wanted a drawing app with customizable keybindings, so I made qboard a while back and have used it since.<p>I talk more about the design principles on the Github repo: <<a href="https://github.com/cjquines/qboard/#design-principles" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cjquines/qboard/#design-principles</a>>.
