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>

Show HN: Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox
I’m thrilled to finally be able to show everyone what we’ve been working on for the last 2 years. We’re re-inventing the email experience to help you email smarter and faster, so you can get more done, and maybe even actually <i>enjoy</i> your inbox.<p>When we launched Firebase here 10 years ago, HN was tough but fair, and I expect no less this time around! I hope you’ll check out what we’ve built and share your feedback. I’ll be around here all day and am happy to answer any questions. Let us know what you think!

Show HN: Magniv, One line data science infra
Hey HN!<p>We are <a href="https://www.magniv.app/" rel="nofollow">https://www.magniv.app/</a> - Magniv is a platform to enable data scientists to autonomously create, deploy, and maintain data applications within existing infra pipelines. That is, reduce data science reliance on data engineers in mature data organizations.<p>While living between both worlds of software engineering and data science, we have seen a lack of mature organizational tooling for data scientists. Data teams either require embedded data engineers or companies are forced to find a unicorn full-stack data software engineer to hire. On top of that, the tooling that does exist in this space does not take into consideration good software and infrastructure practices that most high performance software engineering teams require.<p>We are looking for interested teams to join our beta!

Show HN: No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc.
Hi, founders!<p>We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way.<p>Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface.<p>If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components.<p>We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to build the very tools they use. And with HN being mostly the coder community, it’d be particularly interesting to hear your feedback/thoughts!
