Show HN: Typewaiter, the typewriter that doesn't wait
Howdy HN, just recently made this silly typewriter variant and think some of you might enjoy it so thought I'd share.<p>Here the cursor takes no heed of what you're typing and just advances at a steady pace, with the effect that typing something reasonable-looking requires you to type at a very steady rhythm. There's also the bonus that the space character is no longer needed—you can (and kind of have to) just wait—so the keyboard minimalists among us can shave even more space off their devices. Only desktop for now.<p>It's an interesting contrast to the last one I made—which requires you to do all the heavy lifting in moving the cursor position yourself—<a href="https://oisinmoran.com/typewriter" rel="nofollow">https://oisinmoran.com/typewriter</a>

Show HN: Lldap, a Simplified LDAP Server
Hi everyone! For the past year I've been working on a simple LDAP server for user management, targeted at self-hosted servers.<p>The idea is that OpenLDAP is a pain to install, configure and manage, and on top of that you need a frontend if you want a web UI.<p>LDAP instead provides a minimalistic LDAP server that supports the subset of LDAP needed for user management and authentication, with almost no configuration required, and a nice UI/API in front of it.<p>We just released version 0.4 (and 0.3 actually) and it should now be stable enough to use it yourself!<p>We've had some people using it for tests as well.

Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts
Made a tool to organize thoughts.
Actually it is a mind tree, but in a more web-friendly form.<p>It has pivoted from what I originally started building at evryca.com.<p>Some years ago I got the idea of fractal conversation, instead of old-school tree/ladder-like comments.
I wanted to see only comments related to the current level.<p>I started making "something" with fractal comments. This "something" was a project discussion platform. But it turned out that even I myself don't use it, and the idea of fractal comments stuck there unused.<p>And recently it dawned on me that it may be a conversation with yourself — thinking, brainstorming, taking notes, writing.
So made this kind of cork/whiteboard, where one can dive into the subject and, being in the flow, write and see only related notes and rearrange them later.<p>I'm trying to make it flawless and add keyboard shortcuts where it's possible (Ctr+Enter to submit idea, drag-and-drop to rearrange, Esc to jump level up).<p>So finally I've made a tool that I use myself and will update it gradually (sorting, touch devices, ex/import (json, text), boards, more navigation with keyboard and other stuff, and login).

Show HN: Find out where your supplements are made & sourced
I made a table where you can find out the source/location of factory for where health supplements are made. This is a work in progress but it functions. At the moment you can sort by cGMP/GMP certification.<p>* Full disclosure - if you purchase anything using the links, i earn an small affiliate fee (5%)<p>I made this to help demystify the language behind product labelling, which in many cases is obfuscating the manufacturing and sourcing of certain products
